3 /5 Tetiana Smith: I decided to visit Miso Noodle Bar in Bromley and try the seafood noodle soup. The portion itself was large, with a choice of rice or buckwheat noodles. However, I was seated at a very small table in the corner, where it was difficult to even get the waiter’s attention. I constantly had to lean out and wave to call someone, while the staff seemed busy with receipts or paperwork. Nobody came to check if everything was okay, and there were no sauces on the table.
The soup itself was quite bland — it felt like seafood simply poured over with water or a very weak broth, with no real flavour at all. Asian food should be about taste and flavour, but here it was completely missing. I asked for sauces like lime, sriracha, or hoisin, and each time it felt like a problem for them. They don’t usually serve any sauces, which makes no sense for this type of cuisine. Also there havent been any salt or pepper on the table as well.
I really wanted to like this place and even thought of bringing my mum here, but now not sure after my experience. The staff were inattentive, never asked if I was okay, and in the end they still expected a tip. I reluctantly left 7.5% the smallest they had, but I honestly didn’t understand what I was tipping for - not a good service with no flavour food. Each time I asked for something, it felt like they were doing me a favour.
Overall, the experience was disappointing: bland food, inattentive service, and unnecessary pressure for tips in the end. Very disappointed.
