Tasty food, clean area, nice open kitchen, friendly staff and quick service. For a really spicy lover, do try the spicy beef ramen and scotch bonnet chicken wings. The beer wasn’t cold enough though, we prefer a very cold beer with the slightly frozen bits outside the bottle. This more for a ramen or hot noodle lover specially in the cold weather.
There were not many table inside, so book a table in advance is always a better solution.
No parking outside because it’s located in the Colchester City Centre which you will prefer to park at the parking building and just walk.
Overall experience was good and happy and would love to comeback again.
This restaurant has been on my Colchester to-do list for too long. We arrived at 5pm without a reservation and was luckily accommodated. Atmosphere is cosy and pleasant and staff very friendly and provided excellent customer service. A tight menu serving an exciting range of ramen and additional dishes. Will definitely eat here again soon.
I have been to this restaurant many times, and whenever I go there, their taste is still the same, which means the taste is always appetizing. Although the restaurant is quite small, with their decorations and music, they made me feel very convenient….Also, they cook in front of you, so you can check how they cook.. Overall, if you are looking for ramen and other Japanese dishes, I absolutely recommend this place…
Don’t forget to try their gyoza 🥟!!!
Really authentic and healthy food. Service quick and professional. One star knocked off as there was no Soy sauce on the table, meaning you couldn't add some as you wish, and I'm not used to it not being there as a standard.
The gyoza are handmade in an original shape, delicious, but we found them hard to pick up. I like ingenuity but not for the sake of it.
Such a hidden gem. You'll likely need to book as there are only around eight tables total, but once you arrive be ready to have some amazing ramen and experience some top-quality service.
It's a relatively small menu but there were about five dishes I wanted to try, so I could see myself coming back again soon.
Fresh tasty food well presented. Staff are attentive and welcoming, they take note of fine details. It's an intimate venue and they do take bookings in the evening at weekends. If you like good ramen the lake sure you visit.
If you are after authenticity, portion of the food and lovely customer service - this is the best place to be in Colchester. Make sure to try their home made spicy chilli sauce. Top notch and amazing!
We had the two meat-free ramen available and they were both delicious! Really good broth and freshly made noodles! It was cooked to perfection and the best ramen we've had! The herbal Japanese tea was really aromatic and good value! Overall 10/10. The waiter was really nice a nd helpful. I will go back again soon.
I rarely make reviews! I just thought to put a review just now coz they deserve it. Been here plenty of times and I can say Hsinking is one of our fave go-to resto here in Colchester. We tried loads of asian resto here but this is one of our top. As asian, I definitely recommend you try their ramen! I had suggested this resto to my friends and colleagues of different races and all of them really have good feedbacks! Service is great as well! All staff are friendly and the waiter is very courteous👍 I just hope they expand, have bigger space so that they can accommodate more customers especially during weekends. And just to add, my son loves their prawn tempura! Well done Hsinking! 🥂
Initially ordered Sous Vide Guy-Don (rice), but sold out. We then had Hell’s Beef Ramen, Mayu Tonkotsu Ramen and Pork Ginger and Leek Gyoza. Beef was tender and pork was authentic. Ramen’s quality was pretty high. Soup’s flavour can be stronger. Hell’s beef ramen is not spicy enough for a spicer eater. Unclosed end’s Gyoza is not we expected. As it makes the tasty juice comes out. So that the meat becomes less flavour and a bit dried. Price is a bit high, especially in Colchester. Anyway, we will visit next time.
