I came here with about 6 friends for some lunch and a catch up. Although it was pretty busy, it wasn’t too noisy which was good as we could still talk etc. The food comes it little boxes too which is very quirky and makes this place different - as it has some character. Everyone enjoyed their food and the... More

I love this restaurant, it's so quirky and it's got great decoration, fairy lights and local artists, the music is always great. The food is so tasty and great for the price, it comes served in boxes which I think is great! Drinks are a bit expensive! And they really should DELIVER!! This would make them perfect!

Saturday 27th April 2013- 11.30am-12.45pm. Nestled in the Barbican backstreets, atop some rather precarious steps rests the rather unassuming and aesthetically quaint B Bar. I have been here to watch a piece of contemporary theatre before as part of my A Level Theatre Studies course- and once you step inside it is warm, inviting and rather cosy. We were welcomed... More

Having recently moved back to the coast and wanting to catch up on all the changes around the Barbican area, the B-bar was a great unexpected find. The Thai food was delicious, excellent menu choices and very reasonable. Although busy, the service was excellent and the staff welcoming and helpful. I will definitely be visiting again for lunch and I... More

Hidden off the end of the Barbican this is excellently located. I went here for lunch on my break from work with my other half. The food was very impressive, with a lot of choice and a lot of it when it arrived! It was also exceptionally good value. Although we were the only customers the place is well decorated... More

Read a lot about the place so visited with friends for dinner. Seems that we caught them on a slow night since they were fully reserved the two previous times we tried to go without a reservation. The place has a very interesting decor with heavy drapes and oriental artifacts and the prices are very good, given how close it... More

Brilliant service, amazing food and a great atmosphere. This place is a terrific mish mash of Thai food, Jazz cafe, cocktail bar and theater. The food is top notch, the music is great and the cocktails are lovely. Food is brilliantly priced and the cardboard boxes they come in are fun. All in all, 5 stars

This Thai place is absolutely fantastic. Tenfold is super cheap and very fresh, served in quirky little take-out boxes. During my first year of uni I came here every week! If you visit Plymouth and don't come here or to Platters, you're really missing out. Fantastic, well-priced food with a great atmosphere and good staff. Love it.
