Review of Olympia Conference and Exhibition Centre
24 Nov 07, 19:16
Does the job! 
If you are going to a show or exposition here and expect a reasonable sized, plain space to walk around all day, then Olympia will be just fine.
However, I would have preferred a more modern, innovative environment to explore, with much cheaper food outlets! For a building in which you might spend the best part of a day, there is a disappointingly bland selection of eateries, with equally disappointing prices.
Of course, it is the content of the show/event that really matters, but facilities and environment are important to enjoy the full experience...

Review of The New Culture Revolution

The Art of Balance
An interesting little contemporary chinese restaurant - well they actually call themselves a "noodle and dumpling bar", which explains the more cafe like feel to the place, rather than a full on restaurant.
Their mission of creating healthy, well-balanced meals certainly shows. The food is clean, refreshing and tasty, with an encouraging lack of salt and artificial additives. All this is explained on the back of their relatively extensive menu. Something I was extremely grateful for as it kept me occupied during the long wait for my food!
It was the long delay between ordering and eating my meal that detracted from the overall experience. There was only one waiter, which was inadequate, but he was attentive and helpful. Other than that, this is a delightful place to eat, great, healthy food that is reasonably priced (for two people, around £25).

Review of Thai Square

Sweet But Sour
If I had to choose between Chinese, Japanese and Thai food - I would opt for Thai every time. My appetite for this exquisite Asian cuisine is more than satisfied at Thai Square.
The menu presents a refreshing selection of dishes, amongst which you will be able to find good examples of traditional meals as well as some more exotic blends of flavours. Thai food is a beautifully balanced mix of tastes and Thai Square are clearly experts in delivering the full cuisine. There is also a significant vegetarian section to the menu.
Whilst the food is very tasty, the portions are small, some 30% less than I would expect. This could be redeemed by an overall good restaurant experience: however this is not the case. The space feels a little cramped and dated. Waiting staff are pleasant but slightly less attentive than the price and location would suggest.
When you dine at Thai Square, your taste buds are in for a treat, your wallet/purse will lose weight and your desire to keep searching for that perfect Thai restaurant will gain momentum...
