"The small plates and sushi were very good. The hot mains we had were poor value relative to the quality and portion size. The setting was great and the service was very good. Overall we enjoyed our meal but it is expensive for what you get."

"years ago went to wahaca and her vegan (also veggie) offers were bad or non-existant. so it is with great joy that I say the situation has completely changed. they now have an amazing vegan menu and for very good value. we had the vegan nachos as starter and while they were good, they were nowhere near club mexicana’s. then we had the set menu that was a lot of eating! we couldn't finish. my favs were the meatless huhn avocado and the ancho mushroom tacos. next time I order them. At first we wanted to get some churros for dessert, but until we finished the menu, we couldn't take anything else. updated by previous review on 2022-09-18"

"I’ve been meaning to go to Roka for quite some time now. Since Taste of London 2014 to be precise; I never forget a meeting, first impressions do count, and Roka’s cod and crab dumplings made quite the impression on me. After fighting a certain someone for the last one, I made a mental note to book in a proper meal at the restaurant soon but that plan fell by the wayside. It was my first year in London so all the old restaurants were new and shiny to me, and all the new restaurants were even shinier… Roka was soon forgotten."

"Unfortunately, my papaya salad was certainly not freshly prepared.... the tomatoes were soaky and also the fresh salad vegetables with gum-like bite also the dressing was not pikant. The chicken with vegetables and cashew nuts was all right from the general taste, but also the meat appeared to me with a taste, as warmed up. My companions had more luck with pasta dishes and spring rolls. But I will no longer come through this bad luck. If I pay about 50 € for two bottles of water, an appetizer and a main dish, I expect a better quality. The service was extremely friendly!"

"When we finally found it we were totally unsure of where we were meant to go for food and staff were whizzing in and out of a door which was the kitchen and no one asked if we were ok, when we were finally told abruptly that it's down the stars (in the tiny kitchen area) we were shown to a table and which my partner was glad it was happy hour on the cocktails still! We ordered our food and it was really nice! And for the price completely spot on! Couldn't fault the food! However the one thing we were disgruntled by was the 12.5% added on for a tip, I don't feel we got the personal service to add on a 10 pound tip at all!! And not only that because the bill came after happy hour we were charged full price. As we felt we were being a lead on a little to take our money as much as possible and as quick as possible we didn't stay for another drink as first planned when we chose to eat there. We were in a awkward spot where people were knocking our chairs to get past and standing right next to table having conversations. So this put a damper on the evening and chose else where to drink and continue our evening! But I will emphasise that if you are going out a good food then I really can't fault the place."

"Vegan options are in somerset in the regular limited and although they sell meat here, ebisu clearly mark vegetarian and vegan options on their menu. After a day in wsm we have a take. I would probably recommend to sit and eat instead of taking away if possible, as I always think that something is lost in taste when stumbled into a box. Nevertheless, eating was great, it didn't necessarily feel authentic japanese in terms of lightness, but it tasted everything really good. will definitely come back, but next time they sit back and it was as good as the first time if not better! updated by the previous review on 2021-09-19"

"Love the idea of the fusion, great ambiance and decor. Food service was very good as well as the quality of the food. Let themselves down with poor bar service (asked twice waited 20mins for a gin). Their pre theatre menu is good value except your two course has to be starter and main and there’s not much vegetarian or vegan options"

"Japanese is not your only option should you visit Hana; they also offer a good selection of Korean food as well. I had beef Bi Bim Bap for dinner last night and it was delicious. This selection of meat, vegetables, rice and a raw egg is bought to the table in a piping hot stone pot. The rice is at the bottom separated from the stone by a small layer of sesame oil so, after allowing the dish to sizzle a little to crispen the rice, you add the accompanying hot sauce and mix so that the egg cooks through. I loved it."

"I have a lot of the taro restaurant, its terrace is beautiful, similar in barcelona have nothing to envy. but despite being one of the most glamorous restaurants I think in barcelona there are many like the one I said before they offer for very cheap prices high quality menus, if you look at the traditional menu of perpicar has tremendous tapas and Japanese combinations!"

"We went to this restaurant after they underwent a major renovation, and the atmosphere is perfect for a nice night out in a quiet yet bustling restaurant. However, when compared to many other Japanese restaurants I have visited in central London, the prices here are quite high. I typically pay less for similar dishes at authentic Japanese restaurants in more centrally located areas. The sushi quality is excellent, with thick and fresh cuts, beautiful presentation, and a good variety on the menu despite the small kitchen. However, I was disappointed in the portion size of my favorite dish, the grilled eel on rice, as the eel was much smaller than usual for the high price of £18. I believe that the decrease in eel prices over the years should have been reflected in the portion size. For this reason, I rated this restaurant 2 out of 5 stars for value. If you are searching for fantastic sushi in Kentish Town, this is the only option available, so I recommend it to local Japanese food enthusiasts."

"While the food was mostly good, the service left a lot to be desired. Beef tartare: everything is good except the yolk that 's set too much, It would have better incorporated with other ingredients if it was a bit more liquid. Chicory salad: while the taste and its simplicity is to be loved, one has to realize that it 's Literally 5 chicory leaves with some pomegranate seeds and herbs, 5 tiny pieces of blue cheese, and 5 drizzles of dressing. My main course was halibut accompanied by a tomato salad, some pak choi, and a garlic bread everything was scrumptious with good aftertaste. The fish knife was smeared in herbs from the chicory salad (I 'm a clumsy eater . At the moment of serving the fish, I requested a clean knife. They brought it and just placed it next to the dirty one. The idea to take the latter out and wipe the table seems to have never crossed the waiter 's mind... This was pretty much the last time a waiter came by my table. Pak Choi is quite sturdy and cannot be cut with the fish knife my request for a different knife hasn 't been satisfied. My wine glass was left unattended. My attentive looks at the waiter afar were met with a smile But He Never Came Back To Me. Finally, I 've paid, then had to pack my wine leftovers by myself. The sommelier appeared again only to give me my coat and chase me to the door with strange questions Do you want a glass for the wine? , Do you want to put it on your room? (After my payment! etc. Overall, I believe my personality has not been illustrious enough to be met with proper service at this restaurant."

"We had a 6pm booking and service started approximately 6:25. Our server was very nice, professional and quick after a delayed start. The food was very good, and we enjoyed both the food and service. After a very nice meal with a variety of starters, sushi, maki, we were ready to consider dessert. At 7:30pm, a different server came to our table and told us that we had to leave because they had another booking for our table. This was after they had just seated another party of 4 without a booking at the table next to ours. The server was extremely rude and unprofessional. There was no notice about a 90 minute time period prior. After spending £227 on our bill we were made to feel unwelcome and were hurried out the door. Even though the food was good, and we live locally in Richmond, we will never return after this experience. As a family of four people, to be told to leave technically after an hour of service is absurd. They will not be successful if the unprofessional service and attitude continues. Really unfortunate and bad experience."

"!!!!!!!!!!AVOID AT ALL COST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! £27 for a stone cold kebab that took 1.5 hours to come. Staff are awful in the shop, super rude and hung up the phone to me. Manager Barrish ‘doesn’t speak English’. Whilst on the phone to the kebab shop I heard in the background lots of shouting and swearing until the poor boy who answers the phone was ordered to shut the phone down. Cheesy chips and kebabs with two drinks for £27! Driver isn’t on their books either. Don’t waste your time or money. Thrown straight in the bin. Worst experience ever."

"All in all a good restaurant with solid quality food and very attentive service. We had sashimi rainbow rolls to start with, which we all very satisfactory, but not overly exciting at the same time. We continued with a hot main courses of yellowtail jaw, which had a lot of tender meat on it (surprisingly, it's a jaw after all! , but I know for myself. Is that I prefer yellowtail as sashimi rather than cooked, because the flavour somewhat gets lost with cooking. The lamb chops were rather disappointing unfortunately as they were over salted and a bit chewy too. Green tea ice cream was good, however I prefer it plain, while Izakaya serves it on a bed of crunch garnished with chocolate chips. All in all a good meal but somewhat unexciting. Would I return to Izakaya? Certainly if I happen to be in the area, but I would definitely stick to sashimi and rolls."

"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."

"Last year my friend came to visit me in Edinburgh and she discovered this Japanese restaurant that I had never discovered. I left Edinburgh three months later to study for a master's degree in England and returned to Edinburgh again last week. The weather started last week was not good, cold, rainy, foggy. But when I set foot in this Japanese restaurant again, I was surprised by the short trip. You can imagine it on a rainy evening with dim lights and everything in fog. Walking alone on Princes Street with an umbrella, the fog and the castle, then walk into the alley and find this small restaurant. And then enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine alone. Memories and touches come flooding back to your heart, and you can enjoy a moment of tranquility and comfort."
