"When I was invited to review Murakami I spent some time trying to work out why I thought I’d been there before. That sense of deja vu came not from a restaurant but from a series of books which I have sitting on my shelf including ‘The Wind Up Bird Chronicle’ and ‘Kafka on the Shore’. In fact, the restaurant is intended to be an Izakaya, a kind of Japanese gastro-pub where you can eat and drink in a relatively informal setting. And, in the heart of London, at the top of St Martin’s Lane, that is no bad thing."

"Been once before and really enjoyed it so decided that we was going back for my birthday, the atmosphere was lively and we had good seats. The food was spot on, got plenty for the starters, I had myself the halloumi fries with dip and my partner had wings and we couldn't believe how much you got! We was both feeling full after the starters! We both had the bacon burgers and I had pizza fries and my partner had burger fries, I loved my fries but unfortunately my partner didn't like hers due to the burger fries having mustard on them (could do with explaining what goes on the fries on the menu) bit we both had half our burgers and had to take the rest home as we was both so full. Our waitress was so lovely and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked through the door and even when we was leaving she was polite."

"During a visit to friends last year who live near this restaurant, we decided to have a bar supper and a pint of ale. Upon arrival, we witnessed two police officers in the parking lot trying to break up a fight between two drunken individuals. Unfortunately, another altercation occurred inside the pub between two intoxicated individuals shortly after we arrived. We were disappointed with the service when ordering our drinks, as the staff seemed uninterested in providing good customer service. Due to the atmosphere, we decided not to stay for a meal. In my opinion, I would recommend avoiding this place at all costs."

"Cute restaurant serving Asian fusion food. Atmosphere and service were 10/10. baos: I wasn't blown away by the soft shell crab to be honest wouldn't order again, I'm not a fan of wasabi tho and it comes with some kind of wasabi mayo. The chicken one was slightly better, mainly due to the absence of wasabi. Sticky aubergine: good and very sweet, I'd recommend getting a rice bowl. They were quite good (eaten with the rice) perhaps my fave dish. Chicken wings: very crispy, a bit oily but overall I liked them Rice cake with spicy tuna: good dish, again not a fan of spicy mayo or fried rice cubes but they were super crispy and it was a good combo I guess just not for me. Korean octopus: it's just octopus with a dipping sauce! Good combo. Prawn and scallop dumpling: I was quite disappointed by this dish the skin of the dumpling was a bit dry and the filling a bit bland in the end. Perhaps it's because I had them after all the spicy mayo, wasabi mayo etc etc but I wanted to love them and just couldn't! Tha cassava cake with ice cream was nice, never had something similar before and I enjoyed it. Overall I asn't too impressed with the food. I'm tired of having mayo literally everywhere, there's mayos with siracha sauce, or with wasabi, or with something else but it's always mayo. Perhaps Asian fusion and its abuse of mayo just are't my vibe anymore Having said that, food quality was great, the presentation was also very nice and there was a good atmosphere."

"I had a great time at this restaurant. The atmosphere was fantastic, the service was excellent, and they had a wonderful variety of American whiskies. I found the prices to be very reasonable, especially considering the location. The only downside was the food, which was still quite good, but not perfect. It arrived unusually quickly after ordering, with some of the meat tasting dry and the corn muffin also being a bit dry. The BBQ overall was tasty and good, so I would still recommend this restaurant to others, although I have had better BBQ elsewhere."

"The food was excellent and the drinks were generous in size, but unfortunately, the service was terrible. Our group of 25 people had 3 tables that were adequate for us to sit at and chat, but we were not allowed to move or switch seats, which was inconvenient. Guests who arrived late were not allowed to join us at our tables and were instead sent to the bar area, which we found unacceptable. We were also told that the bill would be split evenly among the tables, but later discovered that food from one table had been added to another table's bill, causing confusion during payment. The staff spoke rudely to some of our guests when they tried to join full tables, instructing them to sit at an empty table instead. This experience left us feeling uncomfortable and disrespected, and we will not be returning to this restaurant in the future."

"First time at Chicago's and the food was amazing! Finished off with the Oreo donut dessert. Our waiter Angus was attentive and helpful guiding us through the menu as it was our first visit. I shall certainly be returning"

"The decoration was great... That's pretty much that. The food was a tasteless mixture in between cement and disgust. The nachos were horrible, the cheese wasn't even melted at all. After 2 minutes on the table the cheese started to cut up and to form small balls of cheese. When we told the waitress she said that she will pass the message to the kitchen, and that's it. The Mac n cheese had crumps of something very funny looking on top, as long as I remember it wasn't mention on the menu, and to be honest, a pinch of salt would have save it, maybe. The burgers were floating, like literally floating in oil, and the bacon was falling in pieces on the plate. The worst part was that the Yates in front of us was full of people while this place was fully empty, we could have spent our 28 pounds there instead."

"The food and drinks at this restaurant were great, but the service was terrible. Our party of 25 people had 3 tables, which we understood, but we were not allowed to move or swap seats to talk to each other. Guests who arrived late were not allowed to sit with us and were sent downstairs to the bar area, which we found unacceptable. We were told each table would receive a separate bill, but then one table's food was added to another, making payment more difficult. The person in charge spoke rudely to our guests when they tried to switch tables, and ultimately combined two tables' bills despite telling us not to swap. We will not be returning to this restaurant due to the uncomfortable experience and rude treatment we received."

"The food as such was fine, I had brisket, burnt ends and fries, but the fries were clearly reheated and pretty much on the crispier side of being edible. There were no condiments being offered, and I had to specifically ask for some. Service was indifferent but timely. In total, I would say it was not value for money."

"have been here quite a few times but it has really gone down hill. The burgers are not as nice now they are no longer cooked medium (either that or all of our burgers were over cooked) every thing seems to have shrunk service was really slow in terms of taking orders and bringing drinks etc. Hoping we just got a bad day to be fair its the first time we have been and the food was not up to scratch."

"We went for lunch whilst out in the Xscape centre. We took our little one with us, we ordered the sweet corn fritters, jalapeño poppers and potato in spices. The starters were ok none of them were outstanding. The sweetcorn fritters tasted uncooked and like they had been warmed up. For the mains we had beef burrito and that came with chips and coleslaw. And the veggie chilli with rice and tortilla chips. My husband said the beef didn’t taste right and had to take it all out o eat the wrap, the veggie chilli was fine but it tasted like microwave rice it was stuck together and very stodgy. And the amount of rice to the chilli didn’t go barely had 2 spoonfuls of chilli on there to a while bowlful of rice so couldn’t finish it all. There was only one guy in the front serving, taking orders and drinks and bringing food out so quite slow esp being a Saturday afternoon. And only 2 people in the back, and with a few tables occupied we were waiting a while for food and drinks etc. The food seemed to be pre cooked the majority of it, we were very close to the kitchen and couldn’t get any smells of food being cooked freshly, which isn’t a good sign."

"We went as a group of 4, and we all said Food was ok, and reasonable enough prices, but what we found disappointing was that they had no onion loaf left when we tried to order it with out main courses. Would I recommend it, yes if you like ribs they were good, but if you remember the original rib shack restaurant in Knightsbridge and are hoping this is going to be similar, unfortunately you will be disappointed !"

"Absolute find on our staycation.. The food was just Devine, getting the 100% approval from 2 fussy teenagers. We had breakfast there the first day of our staycation and ended up having dinner that evening and breakfast and dinner the following day there it was that good. The breakfast pancakes were a massive hit with the children and the omelettes were just delicious. For dinner the pizza was outstanding, we couldn’t finish it so we brought it back to our hotel later. The bacon and cheese burger was second to none. My husband had the mixed grill and he said it was divine. All the staff were exceptionally efficient, friendly and we felt perfectly safe and protected while dining there. All in all an absolute must if you visit Dublin... you won’t be disappointed."

"We took a group of 37 students from the United States to eat here. It was prearranged by our tour company; and it was one of the last meals we ate on our long vacation. We had grown accustomed to average to bland food on this trip. But this meal was very tasty, hot, and homemade (clearly not a boxed kit). The service was amazing (which isn’t always the case with large groups, additionally coming from the States where wait staff’s try hard because their tips are dependent on it). The animatronic Elephant in the courtyard was a big hit with teenagers and adults and chaperones equally. It was a great experience and good food served by good people."

"Great little diner, my food was great, my husband said his burger could have done with more seasoning but other than that great, prices are okay only thing is it seems a little rundown and the floor looked quite dirty (not sure if this was just the aesthetic or just not clean), i was also a little dissapointed as when i checked online before i came (i always check menues as i have food intolerances) and had previously chose what i would have and when i arrived they informed me that this menj was only available at certain times so what i origionally wanted wasnt available, I would reccomend the breakfast I ordered though which came with the tater tots,"

"our first time at dog bowl! we had a late lunch, early dinner before bowling. eating was filling and tasty and simply ok, not eating out when that is what they are looking for. my 10 year old son was very happy to eat here too, and very enjoyed the bowling. great alternative choice of the crowded children bowling alleys much more beautiful for the parents to go here and enjoy family time. they would imagine that they have to go with the children in the early afternoon and not in the evening, as the amount can be a little more hurried than the drinks flow! overall, good fun, we will return."

"A good casual, relaxed Americana restaurant. A focus on a young, modern, vibrant vibe with a retro feel. Good comfort eating options with more selective fish and meat higher priced food. A satisfying meal as long as you don't expect to be wowed by the cuisine. Service was good. There was a mix up over our main which was sorted out fast and efficiently. A little pricey for burgers in a bun as you order all sides separate including chips. Overall met expectations."

"I visited sushi wakyo for the first time on Saturday night. eating was great, I love Japanese and hadn't found one since gone from london. I have read some good reviews online and was not disappointed. the restaurant was full, so had a good atmosphere and had the people come to take away what I think is a good sign. the black cod and mini vulcano rolls were both delicious! the sushi sheets served other tables also looked really tempting. I didn't love the huh teriyaki because it was quite dry, but that was the only food negatiw. it is a casual place, but had a few people dressed and a few younger men with parents. the toilets were ice-cold and needed to be afraid, but not a big problem, and I will come again!"
