Our first visit since Boa to the Broth opened their own place. Wonderful! Service was friendly and attentive. Food was hot, delicious and speedy (1 hour free parking just up the road ?). Priced well, very filling. Another great food joint in Hereford! We look forward to visiting again, thanks!Parking: 1 hour free street parking just a few seconds walk away.

Excellent food, value for money, relaxed atmosphere, great place to catch up with friends.Kid-friendliness: Small selection of kid friendly options.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide entrance door, small ramped section then all on the same level.

Booked a table and when we arrived we were told they needed the table back within a hour. Bao buns were very dry, more like a stale bread roll.Cauliflower wings were greasy, overcooked and flavourless!Ramen was lukewarm and the service was very rushed but the food took ages to arrived.Unfortunately won’t be returning and was over priced!

We visited at lunch time today. The service was good, two helpful ladies served us.I usually love seaweed but found the seaweed in Pork Yakisoba too salty and had to leave it. Other dishes were great and generous portions.The menu only states ‘GF’s, it would’ve been nice if there were ‘Veg’ and ‘Vegan’ signs too, as one of our diners was a vegetarian.Another table had a dog with them, so they welcome well behaved dogs.

Sorry guys, I’m afraid we didn’t enjoy our visit over the weekend. Was really looking forward to it as we’ve previously enjoyed your food at the Left Bank. The new restaurant leaves much to be desired. For a start, the tables and chairs are very uncomfortable, an odd size and not fit for purpose. The lighting was way too bright and killed the atmosphere. The whole restaurant felt like it had been opened in a hurry and done on the cheap, just not a nice dining experience to be honest. Service was okay, staff are clearly still finding their feet. The food however, was not how we remembered it, they had added ingredients that weren’t listed on the menu e.g. my dish was full of dry salty bacon shards that overpowered everything. The Bao buns looked impressive but had barely any filling. Also a very long wait on everything. All in all a poor experience and such a shame after having high hopes for this place.

Attended at the end of last week and cannot speak highly enough of the place. Friendly staff, nice environment, good selection of drinks and really good food. Our table of 4 ordered around 10 different dishes which we all shared and we cannot fault any of them. Freshly made Bao Buns were something else.Really recommend this place.I see another reviewer ate with you over the weekend. Shame they decided not to share their comments with you privately given you only opened last week.

I was so excited to return to Bao to the Broth after being a customer in both the butter market and koffie pot. The new restaurant looks amazing inside and we still enjoyed the food, unfortunately the staff really let this place down. I understand you’ve only been open a few days and people need time to train etc but everyone who talked and served us last night were uninterested in being there. No hello or lovely welcome, we had to ask for our food order to be taken after waiting ages, water jug bought over with no glasses, staff all stood around grouped just talking amongst themselves while we were sat waiting for our order to be taken (there were only 3 tables in at the time we went), an item was left off our order and we had to wait 10 minutes for all our dishes to be bought across from when our first dish put down. Just no enthusiasm at all from your staff, who you’d think would be buzzing to open up this amazing establishment.My only other issue was the cocktail sizes for the price were disappointing and the cherry blossom cocktail had a plastic flower inside which was off putting and didn’t seem sanitary at all. And not a problem at all but we loved when we visited before when our loaded fries were served in the dumpling baskets (really on theme) and I understand if you’ve got rid of these for ease of service or any environmental reason but the bowls you’re currently using don’t quite add the same value.A lovely blonde lady with an accent spoke to me and our little boy on the way out and offered him some sweets from your trick or treat tray and honestly if all your staff were like her we would have had a great time, I wish she had been our server.I think it goes to show that your food could be the best food in the world but if you don’t have staff who sell the brand and have great customer service you won’t leave feeling satisfied.I’m positive with more training and time for the staff to improve this place will be great.

Very disappointing, we were so excited about visiting after hearing such great things but the service was terrible, slow and unenthusiastic. Staff looked miserable and asking for food or drinks was like pulling teeth, plus the atmosphere was lacking (we felt in the way and tables were uncomfortable). Food looked pretty but wasn’t memorable and in some cases looked very underwhelming for such a high price. Such a shame!

Incredible food and really quick service. All is freah and plated up incredibly well. A solid 10/10 with a beautiful interior when it's cold outside
On Saturday 20th January we booked a table for 2 to celebrate my Birthday. Upon arrival we were told, because it was quiet,the dining room was closed and we're directed to the Floodgates Bar - no problem. Upon entering the bar, which was very quiet, we were ignored by numerous staff wandering around. After a couple of minutes we approached the till are where the same staff were in conversation. As we approached 2 of them turned their backs to us and continued their conversation - at this point I wanted to walk out but when we booked we had to register a credit card which would then be debited in the event of a non attendance. So I interrupted their conversation to be told just find any table out there. So we found a table and after 5 minutes of being ignored again my wife went to find a menu and query why no one had asked our details to prevent our credit card being debited only to be told "don't worry about that they never enforce it" We then ordered our food at the bar where a different young lady was pleasant and friendly and took our order for food and drinks. After a short wait our food arrived and I must say it was delicious. But we will not be going back!
