It was ok

The service was very slow considering we were the only ones ordering food in there, my pad Thai wasn’t fully hot, was very very salty and didn’t contain more than four lumps of tofu.

They do give you 40% off food and 20% off drinks if you’re a student which makes the price somewhat acceptable - you need to apply online on their website for their student membership. If it weren’t for this I would have been really disappointed with the experience.

Cons: Open late, Expensive , It feels more like a drinking venue

Vegan food is a work of art

The food was out of this world, the colours grab you as soon as it comes out, then the taste is a beyond expectations. So many different ingredients used but all work together so well.
Bar stuff where so friendly and attentive, and glad to hear they will be expanding to different parts of the UK too. Its a must visit for all. #Veganuary

Pros: Very attractive setting, feast for the eyes, Food amazing mix of flavours and colours, Staff very friendly and attentive

Student discount

Not the most mind blowing, authentic Asian food but it’s pretty tasty and a good portion size I think. If you are a student make sure you take advantage of the hefty discount.

Expensive but nice

The side plates are the winners here, but the portions are a little small. The satay chips, okra fries and cauliflower are the stars of the menu!

Good number of options

Quite a cool bar/restaurant in the new town, although we were up in a little balcony part.
The food was pretty good, the Thai fries with satay sauce was great although the tofu katsu was very plain. Quite reasonable price, good service even though we were warned they were short staffed.

Pros: Quite a few options, Good student discount

Super tasty - tiny portions!

Such delicious food - the tofu pad Thai was gorgeous, but the portion was tiny! Felt like half of it was missing and was quite expensive for such a small dish. Allergens are labelled properly, which is great

Pros: Allergens labelled, Delicious!

Cons: Tiny portions!

Funky place with lots of vegan options

Bar Soba has lots of vegan options that are clearly marked on the menu - and a few more can be easily veganised if you ask. My favourite dish is the vegan super Thai fries with peanut butter and Sriracha Sauce - so good!
