"I took my mother to the Two Sisters restaurant for her birthday last Sunday. We were immediately greeted and informed about the brunch options (i.e. buffet versus brunch specials and other adjustments, such as turkey bacon instead of pork). I think this is a great place for a relaxed brunch and definitely for a mother-daughter date. We loved the food and the service. We drove to a Groupon and will definitely drive again without the Groupon. Worth it."

"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."

"We went after their great renovation and the ambience is good for one night in a quiet yet lively restaurant. However, given the situation not central London compared to all other many other Japanese restaurants I was, the prices are too high. I pay less for everything in an authentic Japanese restaurant in central locations. Sushi quality is great with thick and fresh cuts and good decoration and good selection of menu for the size of the kitchen. A dish that I do not enjoy was my favorite grilled egg on rice, the size of the aal was 1/3 of the normal size for the price of £18, as the aal prices have decreased little in recent years. For this reason I gave 2 star of 5 for value. If you are looking for great sushi in Kentish Town, there is no other place, so I recommend if you are a local Japanese fan."

"Don’t usually write reviews but we had a fantastic time. Food was 10/10 and a special mention for MARIA who served us for a short time, she was very attentive to our needs and made the whole experience 10x better. The restaurant looked busy as well which is always good news. Make sure to come at happy hour, we got a lot of food bottle of wine for £80. We will be coming back."

"The food was excellent and the service was top-notch. Unfortunately, the portion sizes were smaller than expected, so we ended up ordering more dishes, making the overall cost higher than we had anticipated."

"We have travelled in Japan and we are serious fans of Japanese food but we recognise that this means we can be difficult to please, because we have some knowledge of what to expect of a good Japanese meal. This was definitely a good meal! The deep fried aubergine in a delicious sweet sauce was especially outstanding, and the tempura prawns and vegetables were excellent. There are some Korean dishes on the menu too. Well done Yoshi Sushi we'll be back..."

"I have visited this restaurant several times and will be returning with new friends who all enjoyed it as much as I did! They offer a wide variety of affordable vegan options, especially during their 50% off lunch menu. If you are dining with both vegans/vegetarians and meat eaters, I would suggest not opting for the all-you-can-eat sushi deal as it has less variety for non-vegans, though still good. The staff is always polite and efficient, never had any issues. Just remember to treat others, including the staff, with respect and you will have a great time. I only had a minor issue (which happens to the best of us), but it was quickly and politely resolved by speaking with an employee. Be mindful of your order as leftovers cannot be taken home. I highly recommend this place and look forward to bringing someone else along next month!"

"Went here 2 weeks ago on the weekend. It’s our first time here in Sushimania Reading. When we entered the restaurant, they didn’t welcome or ask if we wanted a table for 2 or 4. We were standing by the entrance, waiting for them to approach us. The staff were looking at us, didn’t even talk to us, and they were laughing near the bar/cashier. After 15 minutes of waiting, we tried to ask staff if we could get a table, and they told us no table available yet, and they would call us if the table were available. After 5 mins, the table was available. We sat, and they handed us the menu. Their food was scrummy, and everything was satisfying. I ordered their Octopus which was good, and their deep fried tofu not amazed with the tofu, but the sauce was delicious. We also ordered their wakame, and I loved the serving size. It made me happy. I also ordered their sushi and tempura which was also good. The sauce of the prawn tempura was a bit bland it could add a little flavour. We also ordered ramen, which was also okay large serving as well! Initially, I was disappointed because the people behind us got their order immediately compared to ours even though we ordered first. And they were of the same nationality as the restaurant staff/owner. Regardless of that, the food was good. Maybe improve the service and customer approach next time"

"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."

"The only complaint I have is that everything felt a bit worn out and not take care of. The menus were falling apart. The floor was sticky. The decor also felt a little off. Just looks like the person who owns it doesn’t really care all that much for it. But the chef we had was charming and the food was good. My kids loved it and I haven’t had tepanyaki in years. Overall a pleasant experience, just don’t walk in with high expectations."

"We used to come here all the time and then what with covid we had a big gap. I went a few months ago with my wife and it was not as good, but rather than write it off we decided to go again, and so went for dinner last night. The food is so so : lots of delivery drivers wait around outside with mopeds shining their headlights through the window whilst they await takeaway orders from the counter next door. It 's much less pleasant than it used to be, but probably more profitable. The restaurant owner is a miserable guy: ultra low customer service skills, grumpy. The setting was a bit bright, too many lights, not at all intimate. The food was mostly okay but the tempura had a Nasty aftertaste like the oil was old or dirty. Time to raise your game guys. This used to be a fabulous neighbourhood Japanese restaurant. It 's just a takeaway these days that puts up with walk in diners. Not cool at all."

"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."

"This cat themed bar and lunch restaurant is lovely. Portions may be a bit small for some, but everything is delicious. We brought our little son with us and they were super accommodating, making space for his pram etc. Also, they have the most adorable dessert menu, with little hand-drawn pictures of what's on offer for the day pinned to tiny little cork boards. This is the upside of the portions not being massive; you always have space for dessert here! :"

"We had a Japanese friend staying with us who had not had a Japanese meal in England before. We decided to try this Japanese restaurant as a takeaway and ordered several dishes. Our friend rated the meal overall as a 6 out of 10. I...would agree with her. The dishes were cooked to the Western palate and had a little too much sugar added making the fried udon, teriyaki chicken and fried aubergine all too sweet for the Asian palate. However, we will still visit the restaurant in future. We will make a point to request the chef to reduce the amount of sugar and salt."

"Let's begin with where to start. I highly recommend avoiding the fish taco starter. It was not actually a taco, but rather a mint leaf. It was truly awful and far from being a taco or anything Japanese. Overall, it was quite repulsive."
