A great new addition to Norwich making the Arcade feel like it has some life to it again. Yalm has some amazing food to choose from here, with multiple food vendors allowing you to be spoiled for choice. From desserts, to tacos, to breakfast dishes to pizzas and more. The food tastes great, however service can take a while and there is usually a long wait for your food. Although, once arrived, it is definitely worth the wait. The food hall is also decorated in a really nice modernistic way and looks amazing. Highly recommend trying this spot out if you’re in Norwich.
Delicious food and a go-to lunch spot, though a little hectic on a busy Saturday. Very nice selection of dishes and several vegan or vegetarian options. I enjoy picking a couple of starters/sides for a tapas vibe and appreciate the QR menu as it allows you to easily look over the whole menu. Urban Cowk is a highlight and I'll be sad to see it go when it's stay is over!
Excellent meal in what was a busy restaurant. Meals came out quickly and we're piping hot. Really good, diverse menu that caters for a wide variety of tastes. Will certainly be trying something different on our next visit.
Yalm is great - the staff are friendly, the food is delicious, there's enough background noise for it to feel nice, but I can still manage to hear the people at my table.
The only issue is if you all order from different places - there were 3 of us, and my food came out about 5 minutes after one meeting had arrived and been eaten! It's not their fault, some good takes longer than others to cook etc, but it's worth bearing in mind!
The apricot tea, iced mocha, nxxds rice bowl and rhubarb crumble ice cream, and black forest ice cream were all especially good this time!;
I have now been to Yalm a couple of times with colleagues and absolutely loved it both times. The app does make the experience a little impersonal, but the choice and quality of food more than makes up for it. It’s nice to pick different plates from each of the restaurants and order at your own pace, and every dish I’ve ordered on both visits has been delicious. The highlight has to be the oyster mushrooms with katsu curry mayo from NXXDS. I’ll probably order it every time I visit now, to be honest.
Great experience and good food. Relaxed atmosphere. Many varied kitchens all serving one seating area. Order via app. Brilliant
Brilliant food, great concept for dinning, my only issue is that it is quite loud because there are no soft furnishings so it’s quite hard to have a conversation without raising your voice but great dynamic atmosphere if that’s what you want. Food is great especially pork ramen and pistachio baklava :)
Yalm is a great concept, fantastic choices from independent restaurants.
Tried several of them now and never been disappointed.
Slightly let down by the portion size of the traditional baclava on our last visit. The taste was amazing along with the pistachio ice cream.
For £6.50 a 50mm square piece was slightly underwhelming though.
Maybe be a bit clearer on the portion size moving forward 🤔👍
Excellent concept. Tons of seating, noisier upstairs, booths available downstairs. Just walk in and find a table, order and pay online, mix and match from all the kitchens, minimal staff interaction and walk straight out when you're finished. An introvert's paradise! Food options are varied and top quality. Highly recommend the pizza.
Great place to eat. Plenty of choice from the 6 different kitchens. All the food was freshly cooked, hot and delicious. I will be visiting again and would highly recommend.
We tried a late weekday afternoon during Octoberfest dates.
Table upstairs. Which despite being partly full was lively and noisy. We would choose a lunchtime during the week in future.
Good to see more Octoberfest events in Norwich. This one seems to be finding its feet. Beers were very good. Food option a bit hit and miss - credit to the bar person who sorted out one issue without me needing to ask.
The idea of a food hall with a choice of kitchens is promising. QR code at table order worked OK. Be prepared for food and drink to arrive at different times - some longer than others.
Onto the next Octoberfest venue next week 🍻
Slightly confusing way to order online. Wasn't told that only some of the restaurants are open before midday.
But, we waited and ordered drinks.
My ramen was lovely, fried chicken and jammy eggs. Will definitely be ordering this again.
My first time there with friends and family. My son's birthday. Live jazz band which was a nice addition to the lively atmosphere. Great food and service. Several different kitchens all under one roof in a large dining hall. Works well. I would go back. Dog friendly too. You can order your food and drinks via app on your phone directly from your table and the order is delivered to you there. Food may arrive at different times by the way if you have ordered from different kitchens as they are independent from each other.
Love the variety. Great place to go to if you are in a group where your food preferences don’t align.
Fast service.
Great concept, love that you can effectively pay as you go from different vendors. The cocktails were delicious, and the food that I ordered was super tasty. I thought it was a little pricey for some of the dishes and cocktails though. Never the less, I will go back!
Great atmosphere. No need to book and not too long to wait for space to sit. Service via the app was super quick. Food was delicious. Will definitely come again.
There is so much variety at Yalm. There is 'On the Bone', which does steaks and meats in various ways. You can have Asian noodles or brunch type things on soursough from 'Toast'. I had smoked salmon on soudough toast on 24/10/23, and it was really tasty and fresh.
We had a great meal here this evening, lots of different options available to order and what we did have, was fantastic and tasted great.
You other from the and pay for it, as there are different kitchens serving the food doesn't always come out at the same time but there was very little wait so nothing major.
Well worth a visit.
