The food scene in Birmingham is a bustling one. Whether it’s the city centre or different neighbourhoods, there are several options wherever you go.
As the city is a melting pot of cultures, there are all kinds of cuisines to be found - from every corner of the world. One of the most famous ones is Asian cuisine. After all, we have a dedicated Chinese Quarter - where you can find a lot more than Chinese food.
Japanese food has become equally popular and the most notable dish is probably sushi but there’s so much more that this country’s cuisine has to offer. Ramen, Teppenyaki, Katsu - and a lot more.
