"First of all, as a regular customer I always choose to sit in the booth. Our booking specified that we had a complimentary Prosecco and booth seat upon reservation. We did not get the booth seats however it did not bother us and we just sat were the hostess accommodated us. After ordering our food, I also asked if they had a portion of fries. The waitress had told me they do sweet potatoes fries and hakasara fries , I ordered the hakasara fries after she told me they were regular french fries with mayo sauce, which I assumed to he sirachi mayo sauce. I also made it clear that I’m vegetarian after she asked if we had an allergy concerns. After eating all our food and the fries, I ordered another portion of the same fries and more sushi. I then proceeded to ask a man who looked like the manager , what was in the sauce as I had never tasted something like that. He then told me it’s fish mayo sauce. I was absolutely furious, as somebody who has not eaten meat and fish for years, it had made me sick to my guy and I had then lost my appetite and mood. Although they apologised, and I appreciate it I believe what the waitress did was careless and not excusable in certain circumstances , considering somebody may have a very severe allergy to fish , unlike in my situation , and would have ended up in hospital. More precautions should be taken to ensure customers know what they are eating, considering the menu is very vague and does not specify. Very disappointed."

"We visited the restaurant on December 11, 2022, and the hotel receptionist informed us that it was closed. Unfortunately, she didn't provide any further explanation, and when we tried to call, no one answered. We had made a reservation for a busy Saturday, but it did not include the restaurant. Please remove this place from OpenTable when it is closed!"

"After eagerly anticipating the opening of Ohisama, having known Indika from his time at Atari-ya, I can confidently say that the wait was well worth it! Everything at Ohisama is top-notch, from the service to the delectable dishes and the meticulous care that is put into the preparation, quality, and presentation of the Indian cuisine. The location is also ideal, situated on the bustling road near Chiltern Firehouse, between Baker Street and Marylebone High Street."

"I live nearby and ordered takeaway last Saturday I arrived right on time and there were a few people waiting inside and outside… I waited at least ten minutes before being taken care of and I already understood there was an issue with the restaurant...Organization… They accept customers while they barely have enough space and then people wait wait and wait… For me, they claim a broadband issue, but she also got confused about which order was mine and was pushing the wrong one… Some customers in the queue were even calling them from the queue to be taken care of… never seen that one before… Finally, I got my order with 45 minutes delay on Saturday evening (as if I did not have anything else to do!! and not even an offer for any compensation… a poor sorry was the only goodbye I got… guys you will never see me again especially as the food was super average…. Ceviche was horrible… sashimi was pretty good… wagyu was so disappointing and gyozas were obviously cold… and this was of course super expensive !!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME !!!!"

"Happy hour Monday all day really good value. Food prepped and seasoned well. Service ok felt like our waitress couldn’t wait to give us the bill and get rid off us. As soon as we finished the last plate she turned our grill off, didn’t check if we’d like to order more food and we asked to order another plate of food, she made a point of switching the grill back on. Again as soon as we finished that she took our plates and handed us the bill. Reluctant to pay the 12.5% service charge but the other waiter who changed our grill was pleasant and friendly."

"I was very hesitant about ordering sushi and having it delivered without seeing it first; so often places either turn out to be ‘sushi that’s sat there’ (alike itsu all day and not prepared to order) or sushi that’s freshly prepared and made to order. Well, this was lovely! Fresh nicely sized pieces with good quality salmon and yummy avocado. This for sure wasn’t prepared and sat there all day in a fridge with no doors. Would definitely order sushi from here again so great! The katsu sauce was amazing !!! (Next time I’d even order a pot of this on the side). The chicken with it was a little dry but the udon noodles were lovely. My miso soup was a tad strong, very salty so I diluted it a little and that was great. Would 100% order from here again. If you’re reading this now- do it!"

"I was here a few times and come back with new people who were all as good as me! there is a large selection of vegan options that are all reasonable prices. especially if they order from the 50% off menu at midday. if they are vegan / vegetarian with a meat eater, I would not recommend everything they eat Sushi-deal, as it is less variety, although still good, that is more definitiw for people who eat meat / fish. the personal was always polite and efficient. I never had a problem. it should not be said, but after reading reviews, the only thing I can suggest is treat people (including personal,) as they expect, are treated and I am sure they have a wonderful time. I only had a small problem here (corresponds to all of us) and after talking to a worker, it was quickly, efficiently and politely solved. Just keep in mind what they order, as it can be very easy to be worn away and unfortunately they cannot take any rest after home. I recommend this place and wait to introduce someone else next month!"

"Never judge a book by it's cover. From the outside it doesn't look much more inviting than any other restaurant on this strip. Step inside and the decor is a little dated albeit clean and tidy. Service is excellent. All the staff are friendly. Most importantly however the food is outstanding. Having eaten in a number of Japanese and Korean restaurants it can always be a little hit and miss. I have never had a bad dish here. I look forward to my next visit very much and sampling more of the excellent food."

"It is hard to find good sushi in London, but this little neighbourhood restaurant really excels! Whoever is buying the fish knows what they are doing it is uniformly fresh, and well-cut. The selection, while not massive, does include some hard-to-find items like amaebi' (beautiful little sweet shrimp) and suzuki (sea bass, not motorcycles), as well as two grades of tuna and the usual hamachi. the rice was properly made and the spicy edamame were really spicy! We were sat downstairs in a very cool, vault-like booth, but there is a sushi bar upstairs, which I'm not sure is in service just yet. Speaking of service, our waitress was lovely overall, no complaints. We took a chance on this restaurant, as it is in our neighbourhood, and were really pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food we can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu."

"I wondered why this restaurant described itself on the board outside as ‘fusion’, why there were so many Korean dishes on the menu and why the serving staff have heard of Asahi beer but haven’t heard of The Asahi Shimbun, a Japanese daily newspaper that is at least 50 years old. The answer is that the Akasaka website isn’t being completely honest when it describes their Northampton branch as a Japanese restaurant. They aren’t really Japanese, although some of their menu items are clearly Japanese. Don’t let that put you off, however, as they are serving excellent food and we enjoyed our meal there very much. It cost us about £70 (inc. 10% tip) for our meal for two people including a 175ml glass of Sauvignon Blanc for my lovely wife and two 330ml bottles of Asahi Dry for me. The sushi was excellent, the edamame beans were great but we didn’t feel that the Dolsot Bibimbap (a Korean dish with loads of rice, some shredded vegetables, prawns and a fried egg on top) offered very good value for money at just under sixteen pounds. We would recommend Akasaka in Northampton and would certainly go there again, but if we want a genuinely Japanese meal, prepared and served by Japanese staff, then we will be sticking to Ginza Restaurant on Wellingborough Road in Northampton. Don’t like the way that the male members of staff at Sakura on Bridge Street speak to their female colleagues, very disrespectful, so we avoid that Japanese restaurant nowadays. Great to have a choice of three Japanese restaurants in Northampton post-pandemic, and our favourite of the three is Ginza."

"SPOILER: AVOID THIS RESTAURANT IF YOU APPRECIATE GOOD SERVICEAs we were staying at the Grange Hotel at St Paul’s we decided to eat in and chose their Japanese restaurant Benihana. We booked for 7.30pm and were running a little late arriving at 7.45pm. A young lady greeted us, asked if we had booked which we confirmed we had, she then left explaining she would get the manager to attend to us. A couple of minutes passed whilst we observed that the restaurant was hardly busy with perhaps 12 covers. Then another young lady greeted us, again asking had we booked and again we confirmed we had and explained we were being seen to. We then waited another couple of minutes, admittedly by now feeling a little neglected. Just then the manager passed by us carrying two chairs and addressing us over his shoulder saying “I know you are waiting just give me a minute and I will be with you”. Sure enough a minute later the manager appeared, again asking whether we had booked, which we confirmed and then, upon checking the computer turned to us and in a surly tone said “You’re late, you should have been here at 7.30.” We were absolutely stunned, particularly given that a large part of the time lapse had been due to their lack of attention upon our arrival. Quite the most appalling service we have ever had and we had not yet managed to reach the table. Needless to say we walked out and ate at an excellent Japanese restaurant, Uramaya, down the road where we had not booked, and where we were warmly welcomed. Unfortunately this restaurant completely lets down an otherwise excellent hotel."

"Thank you Akasaka for a beautiful experience. Restaurant absolutely stunning, friendly staff and amazing tasting food. My family and I dined here on mother's day.

We also returned the next day and had a repeat of some of the dishes (the omurice egg wrap and Mayonnaise taki udon noodles were my favourite Can I also say, this restaurant reminds me of Mino. My husband proposed to me 9 years ago in that restaurant, but they closed and and we've been looking for a replacement since. (We have FOUND it"

"Incredible disappointed as have been to other Benihana’s and had a fantastic experience. We arrived early and weren’t allowed to sit down which was fine as we sat at the hotel bar. When we went back to be seated we were only told then they were short of chefs so no one would be cooking in-front of us... isn’t that why you go there?! There was quite a language barrier between us and the waitress but we soon found out they had NO sushi or sashimi!!! Had they had the courtesy to be honest and tell us beforehand we could’ve booked a different venue instead of wasting our evening which we were meant to be celebrating my boyfriends birthday. We left with no apology and will not be revisiting."

"We’ve been fans and loyal customers to Maguro for two years, that is until our last meal. We arrived late on Sunday evening and were aware that the kitchen would be closing soon, however, we were not told that we had only one chance to place our order. The waitress, instead of ensuring our order was promptly taken, decided to refill soya sauce bottles. When I approached her to place in our order before the kitchen closed, we were met with a very rude response as if we were imposing on her. The food arrived, but was not up to its usual standard. Still we asked for another item and was informed that the kitchen was closed. We were very disappointed both in the quality of the food and the poor attention of the staff. I’ll chalk this up to bring late on a Sunday evening and give it one more try, hence not giving only one star for the collective experience."

"Food was excellent. Not cheap, though I guess this is central London. Surprised that there was no one else in the restaurant all the time we were there, from 6pm onward on a Saturday night. Service was good, not above and beyond. All in all, good choice for a birthday celebration and I would probably go back."

"This was my first visit and for my first visit, I brought alone my family and best friend and his family. As we all love Japanese food, our expectation was high. There was a great selection to choose from which also caters for people who is not a Sushi fan with rice, noodles and BBQ meals. The service was great, not too short, where you keep asking for more time, and not too long where you wished you went somewhere else. The food arrived hot and very well presented and you best come hungry as there is plenty of it. The Sushi is really fresh and very tasty. I would highly recommend this restaurant for value for money, great food and friendly surrounding."

"The restaurant is overpriced and the service is relatively cold. There is nothing particularly great to brag about. They do offer a gluten-free menu, but I'm not sure why some items are included."
