George's Kebab Van
Kebab shop
🫤 New prices are a RIP OFF. I understand that things have gone expensive but their portion sizes are tiny. Not very good value for money. I will be sticking to my local Turkish kebab shop.

The Bap
Korean restaurant
👍👍 I visited the Bap with some friends to take advantage of their opening deal and we were blown away by the quality of the food at the price we paid. There's a good amount of seating indoors and there isn't an additional payment for if you're eating in. Those that aren't so mobile will find there is...

It is not worth the price. I hope they work on developing them with shisha.I will come back for there if they change head...

Sushi takeaway
😠 Order has arrived not fresh, tuna is grey in colour and had very bad smell, so half of the order went straight to the bin. When I tried to reach the Reading branch by phone several times, it seems to be disabled and routing to the voicemail. A voice message was left and email sent to the branch bu...

Hong Kong City
Chinese takeaway
👍 Absolutely love this place, friendly staff are eager to help and adjust the menu to your taste. The only reason it's not 5 stars is that they only take cash. Fully recommend this take away as the best in Reading and have recommended it to new neighbours.
