Review of Samurai
28 May 08, 19:34
food 
This takeaway has a wide range of sushi and a selection of hot meals in large dishes. I don't know my sushi so can't comment on that, but I have enjoyed a sweet & sour chicken from there that was nice.
However sometimes the large dishes of food do look somewhat unappetising, so it's a case of being brave.
There are a few seats inside if you want to eat in.

Review of The Skydome Arena
28 May 08, 19:19
Dome 
The Sky Dome is a hulk of a building in Coventry. It's nothing special just one of those outskirt of town places that includes things like an Old Orleans, clubs, burgers and an odeon.
Parking is free if you are using the cinema, otherwise it can be expensive.

Review of Warwick Arts Centre
28 May 08, 19:18
Fun 
This is the largest Arts Centre outside of London and is located in University of Warwick's leafy campus. Don't be fooled though, it's not in Warwick, it's in Coventry.
If you're a student you use it mainly to buy books from the great book shop, to walk through, and to sit exams.
As a normal person there are 3 rooms that put on shows and have diverse productions from opera, to comedy, to theatre. The cinema is also really great for indie movies and oddities.

Review of 101 Bar
28 May 08, 19:11
stay away
This is a pretty gross bar just underneath Centrepoint that often attracts people just because it's pumping out loud music and it's open late.
Cocktails are nice, but the people in there are what lets it down. Fights and scallies.

Review of The Phoenix Artist Club

wicked 
Mental but amazing place under the Phoenix Theatre on Charing X Road.
Members only after 8pm but once you're in you're in - doors are at 5. If you want to join it's £120 standard but there are cheaper rates if you are in the arts darling! Various jobs get you in free also, hooray!
Old fashioned with walls covered in theatre posters and crazy people wandering about but it's brilliant and is open till 3am. You'll never get bored, and prepare yourself for the songs of the musicals played on a ropey old pa.
Honestly it's the best.

Review of Dominion Theatre
30 Apr 08, 01:46
Tadah!
Just by Tottenham Court Station, this is more than a theatre but also a great meeting place as one of London's favourite things to say is 'I'll meet you under Freddie!'
As a theatre it's a nice size - not too big, and the bars are comfortably priced rather than mega expensive.

Review of Tesco Express

Potato Famine
This is a pretty useless Tesco Express. It's really small and is constantly sold out of basic food like chicken, bread and any vegetables. Honestly it's ridiculous - go first thing in the morning or not at all - and don't expect to find any potatoes.
The staff are also rude and weird.

Review of Dim T

Yum
Another branch of the London chain of Dim T. We occasionally go to this one if we don't want to go into the West End.
I think the staff are more efficient here but the menu is the same so expect dim sum and noodles.
My favourite combination is thick rice noodles with chicken and the 'healthy' topping. Try it!

Review of Dim T

Yum
I love this dim t restaurant. If you fancy chinese food but with a twist then this is the place to be.
Dim sum wise I'm a big fan of chicken & asian greens and you get about 3 portions in each dish so we normally order 5 dishes between 2.
Then onto the mains, there are a few normal dishes like crispy duck, green thai curry salads etc, but the majority of people go for the stir fry option. Choose your meat, noodles, and topping and away you go. Portions used to be huge but have shrunk recently.
Only problem is that service can be quite slow so if you're short of time probably best to give it a miss.

Review of Internacionale
30 Apr 08, 01:36
Shop
This is a mixture of homewear and ladies clothing. Kind of like a low rent Urban Outfitters.
It's at the back of the Hounds Hill centre but I think may be shutting soon due to the redevelopment.
Clothes are ok but nothing special & the changing rooms are often quite messy.
