The Basin

This has always been a favourite of mine. Wish I could go a lot more often. Food has always been amazing, regardless of what’s been ordered. Staff are brilliant. Always coming over to ask if everything is ok or if you need anything else. Very quick and efficient. Portions are big. I am a big eater and I was only able to get just past half of my meal. Atmosphere is lovely. Nicely decorated and beautiful layout.

A great little restaurant service some real nice delicious food. This restaurant provides some excellent customer service, with the team all being very friendly and attentive. The restaurant also has a great atmosphere with some great decor and great vibes. The food here is also amazing and is priced reasonably. Would recommend if you’re visiting Loughborough.

Wow what a great place. Really good quality food, independent and authentic restaurant. The restaurant has nice amount of space and seating. The amount of staff to diners ratio is spot on. The hygiene in the place is top. All the kids and adults had a great pleasure of dinning there. I cannot wait to go back.

Overall quite good. It's only NOT 5 stars because I still can't quite work out who it was that was supposed to be serving us. There seemed to be about 12 staff for the 8 tables, and we were asked by 4 different staff what drinks we'd like, only after the 4th had come over did said drinks appear. BUT the food was good, drinks were good, and for the price can't really complain.

The Basin is a lovely Japanese/chinese restaurant in the heart of Loughborough. The interior is beautifully decorated and really celebrates asian influences throughout. The food was lovey. To start we ordered from the sushi menu and I was delighted to find Handrolls as an option. I selected the salmon and avocado one which was delicious. The nori was still crisp indicating a freshly made roll and the filling was spread generously throughout. We felt the fish to rice ratio on the Spicy tuna Futomaki was out of proportion although the flavour was good. Both main courses were portioned generously and with a good amount of protein. I felt my teriyaki was slightly lacking in that typical sweet tangy flavour however the Yaki Soba was perfect. Alongside our meal we ordered a some nice cocktails and overall we had a lovely evening. We certainly recommend a visit.
