Amber Palace Asian

Amber Palace Asian brings Japanese cuisine to Cheltenham with a polish that keeps locals coming back — a 4.6/5 from nearly a thousand reviews speaks volumes about the consistency here. The kitchen turns out everything from delicate sushi rolls to hearty teriyaki plates, and the menu reads like a tour of Japan's greatest hits. Sashimi is sliced with precision, while the tempura arrives shatteringly crisp, and the gyoza are little parcels of savoury joy.

What sets them apart is the balance of tradition and generosity — portions are satisfying without being sloppy. The katsu curry is a particular standout, with a rich, deeply flavoured sauce that clings to every piece of panko-crusted chicken. Whether you're after a quick lunch or a full dinner spread, this is Japanese cooking that respects the ingredients and the customer. Order directly for the freshest experience — it's worth the extra tap.
