jdgraham83 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Just thought id recommend this place to everyone. Ate there last night with my girlfriend and had the best thai curry ive ever had. Pretty reasonable too, two mains and a bottle of wine came to £25. Nice smiley staff too which always helps. Only thing letting it down was the chavs queing outside plug wearing builders jackets and waving glow sticks around, think there must have been some terrible speed garage nonsense on.

swordfish1 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Went there Christmas Eve for the first time. Very very impressed. Only had miso soup, then various sushi so can't comment on the rice/set meals etc. The sushi was great. I've been to Wasabisabi and sakushi on various occasions, and found East Ocean to easily be on a par with both of those (which I also recommend). My "other half" used to work just round the corner, and I always used to notice how many chinese/japanese used to eat in there. No idea if that would mean it's posibly more authentic, but always tends to give me that impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riccardoh Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Do you need to book or can you just turn up? What's the parking like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinaski Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I went over a year ago now and was impressed - keep meaning to go back. I remember their set meals were pretty good and fairly different to the usual stuff you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbear Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Do you need to book or can you just turn up? What's the parking like? i've never known the place to be full to the point where patrons are turned away, and i don't believe it takes bookings. parking is hit-and-miss per usual city parking confines. there's a new NCP car park (huge thing on Arundel St) in worst case. i would concur with other posters re quality and portion sizes. their set menus are also value for money, unlike a lot of other places. personally, i go there for my "salted fish chicken pieces fried rice" (literal translation) and "scrambled egg with king prawn and XO sauce".

swordfish1 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I possibly (well, definitely) ordered too much when I was there. I ended up taking some home with me in a container they provided. We still spent less than when we go to wasabisabi. As for parking, there are two new car parks close by, and the restaurant is actually under the NCP building, so you can't get much nearer to a parking spot. There is also on road parking all around the place, which is fairly empty after working/shopping hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetwo07 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Agreed, it's one of my favourite restaurants in Sheffield without doubt. Had 3 different meals there and have all been delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grub_lover Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 is east ocean cafe that good? i rave on about sakushi on sf but i havnt tried East ocean yet. I just dont like where it is i think? I also dont like mixed cusine restaurants, chinese, tie and japanese are so different. You dont get German, english and french quisine in one restaurant do you? and if you do its probably doesnt promote it. Will try it next week, i think its linked with yama sushi bar so i expect it to be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish1 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Will try it next week, i think its linked with yama sushi bar so i expect it to be similar. Are you sure it's linked? I'm off to Yama Sushi tonight, so will post which I think is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grub_lover Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Well i got a flyer in september with both yama and east ocean on so i would have a guess that they are. good luck with tonight. Yama is ok but nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
