The Basin, Restaurant and Bar

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.

Absolutely amazing place to go! Had takeaway from there a while back during COVID and have been wanting to go back ever since. The food is amazing and the service was brilliant. I asked to have my dish made without mushrooms and they asked if that was an allergy or preference, which really shows that they're conscious of allergens! Will definitely be returning for the food and the service!

Lovely place the food was really nice and the staff really good also, had a few dishes and the price was really good for what you get,great value for money.will definitely be visiting here again when I am up this way

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.

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.
