Best KPortal Reviews
Lovely restaurant, fantastic food and great atmosphere. Loads of choice on the menu and food is so tasty. We will definitely come here again when we are staying at the hotel. Highly recommend it if you like good food. Absolutely incredible
I cannot believe people give this 5 stars and say the food is good . At best it’s like all you can eat buffet food but the one difference all you can eat buffets has a bigger variety and you get what you pay for. Vanda give you the impression you are in for a treat of a la cart food, firstly you are processed like cattle your food comes to you in 5 mins this is no exaggeration …. So disappointed and then to get changed premium prices just because they can . I went to the hotel bar La Terrasse afterwards and me and my partner sank a Guinness and ended on a height we just laughed an out our experience it was our entertainment for the rest of the night . So always laugh no matter how the day goes
Overpriced flavourless chinese food masquerading as Thai dishes. £16 a plate (no rice included) and the bill was loaded with a sneaky large service charge on top of that. Food all came out so quick, they must have already had it stewing away all pre-prepared in a big pot out the back????. My pad thai was slimy, my husbands pork dish was chewy with no seasoning. . Dont eat here...Just go in to the terminal instead (2mins walk via a connected level walkway) and eat at one of the tried and tested chain restaurants instead... Wagamama, Tortilla, Costa etc.. all cheaper and you know what you're getting ! If you can't be bothered to walk that far the hotel bar has good beers with free of charge snacks. They also do a bar menu.
Starters were ok. Vegetable spring rolls very tasty and crispy and well presented. Fried squid was good. The mains were a big let down. Fillet of beef Cantonese style was a bit too vinegary. Vegetarian Malaysian curry just tasted of curry powder and needed a bit of sweetness and salt.
Overall; nice decor and presentation. However dishes were not balanced well and totally overpriced for the quality.
Decent asian food, very poor service, had to go ask for water and rice several times as we were more or less unattended at our table
Getting in late to the Sofitel Gatwick, I managed to get to Vanda shortly before the kitchen closed. Quickly ordering, my food appeared rapidly, which was a welcome sight for this hungry traveller.
Coupled with a good glass of wine, the food isn't anything spectacular, however for Chinese food in London, I was most pleasantly surprised and enjoyed my meal quite thoroughly.
For a hotel restaurant late at night, It was a most delicious meal
It’s not the worst Thai food I have ever had , but it’s up there with the worst… for the price you pay they should not be allowed to serve that type of food for the price…. The Pad thai tasted burnt , we got the chicken cashew stirfry it was ok but again not great at all. We ordered a rice as it doesn’t come with the stirfry and there was hardly any rice .. absolute rip off, get a take away sandwich from the airport it’s better then this.
Would not recommend this restaurant
Absolutely dreadful. Avoid this overpriced horrible food. PAD Thai was awful not sure what it actually was but never pad Thai. The price 16 quid for a portion and another 4 quid for a tiny bowl of rice. What an absolute joke. Sofitel you should be ashamed having this within you hotel.
