Visited on business & was really surprised to find a quirky establishment like this in the heart of Northampton. Free movies & Tekken games in the basement?! Something more akin to a trendy dining spot in Shoreditch.
Very friendly customer service, the best experience I've had in a long time. The young man who served me was polite, attentive & very helpful without being too OTT.
In short. The food was delicious. They recommend 2-3 tapas per person, but personally for me the portions are generous & 2 (plus a sweet tapas if you're partial to dessert & have room) was more than enough.
I went with the Korean fried Chicken which was gorgeous. The only other place that does Korean fried chicken this good, is Shackfuyu in Soho, London. (And those are wings, so much messier)
Pork buns were delicious & had a unique smoked flavour but the buns needed to be a little lighter & slightly more moist for a more authentic 'bao' taste. But very hearty & satisfying.
Fish Tacos- delicious, very generous with the coriander which some people might dislike but I loved it. The batter used to coat the fish was flavoursome & divine.
Churros for dessert - again generous portion, could easily be shared between 2. This was my least favourite dish. The Churros needed to thinner, less greasy & made with a sweeter batter, with a pot of chocolate to dip with on the side rather than drizzled on top... the chocolate sauce was spot on. Sweet & decadent, which is why I still ate 3/4 of the generously sized deep-fried dough squiggles & didn't regret it one bit.
I think the sweet tapas options need to be expanded, perhaps something quirky like matcha (green tea) soft-serve icecream or maybe a yuzu lemon tart ... but is Northampton ready for that?! ;)
Do I recommend?! Yes!! Absolutely.
This was our first visit and totally out of the blue,as my girlfriend and I just fancied lunch,and walked in to be greeted by pleasant staff,helpful and informative as to how to order and never pushy,my girlfriend being vegan found many courses were vegan or could be made vegan which is always a plus as not many places do cater for vegans,the waitress recommended we choose between 2-3 courses each,when looking at the menu such a great choice of dishes from the streets of the world,when the food arrived,after only ten mins which seeing as all dishes are cooked fresh was great,we were not disappointed,the food was fresh super tasty and looked amazing,thanks guys for a fab lunch,we shall be back �����cheers Paul and Lucie

Been here a few times now, this time the menu was new and it was bloody fantastic!!! Service is always lovely and friendly. I really recommend the Guoyzas and the Korean chicken - superb!!
We stumbled upon Foodies Rocks on Saturday evening. What a fab find! Really great tasting food and so much choice for a Vegan, and highlighting which wines on the menu are Vegan too was just brilliant - will definitely be back, cheers :-)

Just had an amazing lunch at Foodies- gorgeous ambiance, completely unique in Northampton and somewhere comfortable and relaxed enough to go in leggings and no make up, with great, great food.
As someone who ALWAYS orders a couple of starters, or a sharing platter as I prefer to eat that way, street food was awesome and just what I fancied.
I've never eaten anything that I tried today which was even better!!
Love it, see you Friday!!! X
Delicious food, great beer and Cool place!! Love it!
I found a little gem here. Very friendly staff, great service, great atmosphere, great food, great look �
