"I was with my daughter and her boyfriend the night before her 21st birthday. We were confronted by a loud and pushy waiter who encouraged them to choose expensive cocktails and his favourite menu items. The bill came to £168 with what appeared to be a mandatory service charge of 12.5% ...... certainly not good value for money, as we all left the restaurant still feeling hungry, after spending, I repeat, £168 for 3 people! There was also no reference to my daughter's birthday, even though I asked for it to be celebrated on the restaurant's Special Instructions. Will probably not go there again."

"So sorry but I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone. There was no ambiance as there was only one other table of people and it was also cold. The food was not great and the the bill made it feel worse as it was expensive, very overpriced, and we were paying too much for poor food. Sorry!"

"After the Japanese school moved to Acton there is less of a north London focus for the Japanese community but some links to the 1980s heyday remain. One of these is the fact that in close proximity opposite Golders Green station can be found two branches of Eat Tokyo and Cafe Japan. Whilst I've nothing against the former, the latter is authentic and independent and deserves to be supported. The interior is functional (which is exactly what you might expect), with food prepared in a cramped space towards the rear. Service from the three interchangeable serving staff was functional and prompt without being particularly engaging (the restaurant was busy with large takeaway orders in addition to the mostly occupied tables). Aside from an extensive list of sakes and shochu the drinks menu is limited, but they have Asahi on tap. So why the 5 stars? Well primarily because the food was very good indeed, offering, in addition to the normal dishes you would expect to see, a range of cooked specials that featured both fish you don't associate so much with Japan (such as sardines and monkfish) and fish that's unknown here (the ladyfish tempura was exceptional). A nice selection of mochi ice-cream balls too. At £105 for 3 people our total bill was pretty reasonable for what we had."

"The restaurant was closed and no one contacted us. We had planned to celebrate my mum's 60th birthday there, so we were really disappointed. Thankfully, we found Sushinoen, a restaurant just a 13-minute walk away, which saved our night. The Japanese food was amazing and authentic, highly recommended. We will not be trying Kirin restaurant again and do not recommend it to anyone."

"My husband for the date night when we love sushi and we wanted to try something new as his first time in Genji . Wow wanted to start from the moment we went, we were greeted by the manager and asked what table we like. At a table of our choice, as we are on a date, the staff recommended a bottle of seasonal wine that was perfect after a hot day. With the very helpful Radek and our amazing waitress melissa, the service was amazing and when it came to dinner. It was the best sushi I've eaten for a long time. So fresh and full of taste and so creative. And the Veggie role was out when the world. Great Sushi Square . Very recommended"

"a no annoying and no cost saved taking into a greatcross with at least one scottish premiership footballer a regular visitor for the vegetarian pizza I told. the service is friendly, although the man who works there is on himself and he can sometimes grumble a bit, but after a few visit he recognizes them and he will talk to them and he evaluates his regular customers. the thunder wood zone and the chicken parody are the two recommended of me for this takeaway, although the pizzas are also a beautiful choice. my friend had the burger, but described the hühnerburger as tasting cheap, but the rindfleischburger was in order. a good choice to finish a night, especially with a few bars and the Lava/Ignite nightclub placed close by."

"the hotel is located in a small street right in front of the capital, yen sushi was a great foundation. the staff was very friendly. eating is great and just like some other sushi restaurants, depending on the color of the plate they pick up, it determines the price. for me and mt partner we have spent 50 pfunds. the quality of eating was great, although I felt that some dishes were not great or consistent. they can also order hot food, the only thing I thought was strange is that the waitress empty teller would bring with their hot food to represent his worth, instead of just making a note on the table that took place on the table, which then made it a little tight for others. despite the above one still a great visit. they'll be sure if they want it. if their regular sushi eater, they can lack the fish in quality."

"I highly recommend this place! It's very kid-friendly, with plenty of space for children to get involved in the BBQ cooking. The service was excellent as well. We dined for dinner, and the cost per person was around £50–60. Overall, I would rate the food a 5, the service a 4, and the atmosphere a 4. Some recommended dishes include the seafood, the 16-piece nigiri sushi platter, and the wagyu chef's special set."

"Not much options on the food menu for selection but the appetisers are good. The soysauce cucumber can get a bit too salty, but is nice. The spinach with sesame is definitely a hit and the fried tofu is good. I'd go for the unagi as it was well cooked. Environment wise is nice. Very quiet during weekdays and the food is quite authentic. Dont forget to try the mille crepe matcha cake. Its thick and creamy. The only thing I didn't like was the Asian waitress had quite the attitude. Was not knowledgeable in Japanese food to be able to answer my questions and acted cocky when answering wrongly. Was also a bully towards my European friends when she kept pushing them to tell them what kind of green tea they wanted when they didnt know the difference between the three oh and I was hushed by her when I tried to explain what the difference was to them. It wasnt rush hour either since we were the only ones dining there at the time. Rude and unpleasant despite the food being good. The environment is amazing though. The top floor is neat and tidy it feels cosy and the bar is a great place to dine at as it has hooks. Downstairs is a bar, not sure if it has opened up but definitely quite well done."

"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."

"Booked restaurant by mistake but decided to have a go. Lovely staff. It was our 22nd anniversary but reservation seemed lost. Cocktails were poor.! mine was served in a ceramic black cup and was half full with ice cubes,the kokokura? Dinner was ok its all about a tasting menu but selection was poor. We had to order a lot to be filled up, some dishes were extremely expensive ie:the duck . Not one dish was outstanding or memorable. Service was amazing i did not dislike the reastaurant but as a chef i was disappointed, I've had better Japanese food. For people with little knowledge of food then it's worth a try can't say I would be back."

"The food was really good, as usual! The restaurant was a little cold and I think some light music would be nice for atmosphere and a little privacy, as we could hear the conversation of the couple beside us! The tables are very close together, so music might help!"

"I absolutely adore Sumo, as I have been a regular customer for years. Recently, I decided to try their takeaway option and ordered the sushi platter and classic katsu curry. The portions were generous, and I had plenty of leftover curry to enjoy the next day. The sushi was always fresh and delicious, and I appreciate that they offer a takeaway option (although you must collect it yourself, as they do not offer delivery). The restaurant can be quite quiet at times, which may make you feel like you have to speak softly because of the small space. However, this wouldn't deter me from coming back because the food is simply fantastic. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive."

"We were not prepared for the flavour journey Kazoku we're taking us on. Beautiful, simply. Divine. Magical. A journey through taste that we haven't experienced before. The plum wine, the serving of the food in intervals, the clinical knowledge the staff had of the food. We would like to personally commend the chefs for allowing us to try their food. We will be back, we would book a hotel just to visit again. Nothing more needs to be said, visit and divulge into what can only be described as brilliant. Congratulations, phenomenal. Thank you."
