Very pleasant and reasonably priced dining. Service was great and the food was delicious. Good range of Asian classics. The desserts were not very interesting.

Great food and fast service. The currys are fantastic and so was the teriyaki chicken. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, and very convenient location. Highly recommend.

As always food was delicious unfortunately the service was poor. I always feel when dinning out the focus is on bloody uba eats clients. when really it should be on dinners who have made the effort to come out dine at your restaurant. ( Sorry just saying )

Enjoyable with three friends and tasty food. We chose the Thursday special which included an entre and main course of your choice. We shared main courses which included Red Duck Curry, Mongolian Beef, Green chicken Curry and Chilli Prawns. All were delicious. The main concern of the evening was the service was poor mainly slow and in attentive.

The service was friendly and efficient and the food tasty. The beef in black bean sauce however was a bit disappointing and the meat chewy. My previous experience at Taxiboat has always been remarkable.

A very friendly welcome when we arrived, enough time to study the interesting menu before ordering, a delicious meal which arrived within a reasonable time and an efficient and pleasant waiter made our experience at Taxiboat one that we will certainly want to repeat soon.

Great service, good food and atmosphere just a bit noisy out the front so suggest the backroom if you want intimacy. Good value for money ...

Excellent meal with great service. Interesting selection of wines with a very special Spanish Aria sparkling. I would recommend Taxiboat for anyone looking for a mix of Asian Cuisine and a relaxed atmosphere.

The food was delicious. Could have been more salt and pepper on salt and pepper squid. However, we weren't greeted at the door, the drinks took ages to come (they'd run out of ice apparently) and no staff were responsible for any one things = inefficient. They said that they were understaffed but that's not our problem. There wasn't any background music so it lacked atmosphere, particularly when we first arrived.

We have been to TaxiBoat probably 6/8 times - always after going to a movie across the road at the old Westgarth Cinema. It's not just handy though, it's delicious and fairly priced. Always a good menu variety although we keep coming back for their yummy fishcakes and always have the fried rice with another main - try the rockling! Excellent wines by the glass, the staff treat us like family, the owner/chef is an absolute character - we have never walked out of there unhappy. Paul.

Food was fantastic, we had the banquet and all the dishes were very tasty. I would say some of them were a little on the small side, we had the large banquet and we could have a had a little more food. Service was extremely efficient but not very friendly, a smile goes a long way. Overall happy but could improve a couple of little things for an all round experience.

Food was terrific as usual but the lighting in the main room was far too bright. Normally it's a cosy lamp lit place but tonight it was all lights blazing. Minor issue easily remedied but the lighting matters.
