Minoa Restaurant

Minoa was our choice of restaurant this year for our family Christmas meet up. We were a group of 12 and the restaurant made every effort to make sure things can go smoothly. We preordered our food so when we got there there was no fuss. The atmosphere and service were amazing, food was great and shout out to the DJ on the night of the music selection. Plenty of parking and lovely areas for photos.

This was my first visit and I was very impressed by the decor, ambiance, and especially customer service. Staff named Jamie was very polite and helpful . She made my birthday dinner very special by recommending the best dishes and arranging my birthday dessert with a candle and a birthday song sung by the staff. The food was delicious overall, especially my favourite Chicken green Thai curry was full of flavours. Definitely will be visiting again ! P.S All food is Halal!!!

Everything about our experience was just great. They treated us so well and made such an effort with the two birthdays we were celebrating.

Food quality and portions are the best I've seen in a long while and totally amazing value for the price!

We are going back!

Love that they have so much parking and the venue is insta worthy for sure! 👌🏼🤩

We visited Minoa Pan-Asian on a Friday evening for a family celebration, and it turned out to be a lovely experience. The restaurant is attached to the City Pavilion, which many people may already know as a popular wedding venue. It certainly has that special-occasion feel with elegant décor, a spacious layout, and an atmosphere suited for both celebrations and casual dining.

Starters:
We shared a selection of crispy broccoli, chilli chicken, and dragon roll sushi between four adults. The portion sizes were generous, with enough left over for seconds (and even thirds!). Each dish was flavourful and set the tone well for the rest of the meal.

Mains:
For mains, we ordered the green and red Thai chicken curries (served with jasmine white rice) and a chicken pad Thai. For the kids, we ordered chicken egg noodles. The curries were tasty, rich, aromatic, and full of flavour, with plenty of sauce to enjoy with the rice. The pad Thai, however, was on the sweet side and didn’t win us over. Surprisingly, the kids’ chicken egg noodles were the hidden gem: simple, tasty, and better balanced than the pad Thai.

Desserts:
We finished with a lovely variety of desserts: sticky toffee pudding, mango cheesecake, and ice cream scoops for the kids. To our delight, the restaurant kindly provided a complimentary brownie with ice cream, which was a thoughtful touch. All desserts went down well, though the standout was definitely the mango cheesecake.

Service & ambience:
Service was consistently friendly and attentive, with staff always available when needed. The restaurant itself feels modern and celebratory, making it perfect for special occasions. The live DJ added to the lively atmosphere, though the music was a little too loud at times, making conversation difficult.

Overall:
We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. With its warm service, generous portions, and beautiful setting, Minoa is well worth a visit. We’d happily return and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a mix of flavourful Pan-Asian cuisine in a special setting.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing food and service at Minoa Restaurant & Lounge! Every dish—from the Scallops Sashimi to the Lamb Black Pepper—was fresh and full of flavor. Great drinks, lovely atmosphere, and exceptional service from Mr. Alok, the restaurant manager. Can’t wait to come back!
