    **Disappointing Experience – Will Not Return** I recently dined at UBA, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. The service was extremely slow, we kept trying to call someone but most were nowhere to be found and the manager(older looking guy with a different shirt to everyone else)(for reference we came in on Wednesday the 18th of sept) this man kept walking around and not even acknowledging us at all, straight of the bat this same manager was at the front desk and seemed very unbothered not once did he greet us as we walked in, just asked if we had a booking straight to the point and took us once I gave my name without even saying another word or still to greet us, once he showed us the table he proceeded to walk off without still saying anything????,we were not offered water not once throughout our time there, not once got asked about second round of drinks or dessert, I had to simply ask for it myself even tho we finished and we were just sat there waiting. The staff seemed uninterested, and when the food finally arrived, it was lukewarm at best. The flavors were bland on the lamb chops with a lot of fat so we felt like we didn’t eat much leaving a lot of it, we weren’t asked how we liked them cooked but this could possibly be our fault since we didn’t specify either, and the portions were surprisingly small. My only fav thing is the Rock Shrimp Tempura 10/10 the only thing worth the money in that place. The ambiance was good — the music wasn’t too loud,lights were low but it was a nice vibe. Overall, UBA failed to meet even the basic expectations of good service in my opinion maybe they should go through the steps of service with their staff but let’s start by doing that with the manager that was on shift he should definitely learn some manners. I won’t be coming back and certainly wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. There are much better options nearby.

    The food and price point is amazing. You have to get the Korean fried chicken & rock shrimp. Only let down is the Hoxton hour happy hour is supposed to be 4 drinks but they only had 2 available.

    The beef steak was dry and over cooked. There wasn’t enough sauce. The rock shrimp tempura was over cooked as well and it should’ve been soft. The Korean chicken was over cooked as well but it did have a lot of sauce and high made up for it.

    Food was lovely, we ordered a variety of different options and they were all tasty. My favourite were the beef dumplings & chicken and prawn shu mai. Any issues we had were sorted out promptly. We would definitely return!

    Only one waitress serving people when there was 5 tables. Other member of staff just doing laps around the place. We called the waitress over to pay multiple times and she just continued to ignore us. Food was good and came out in a timely manner.
