"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."

"Neighborhood sushi connection in stoke newington. we went as a coward on the new year evening to the early evening dinner before the family all distributed to their respective parties. the personal was on the ball and the sushi was very good and inventive. the decor is quite simple, but still comfortable and in general it had an inviting mood. our waitress was covered with dids, but it is stoke newington and she was on the ball with service. highly recommended."

"As a visitor to London for the marathon, I randomly booked a table at STK, and I was not disappointed. During my visit with five friends, I had already eyed the tomahawk steak on the menu. Although it was significantly more than I would usually spend on a steak, it was worth every penny—cooked to perfection and simply melted in my mouth. The restaurant has an excellent atmosphere, and our entire party was very impressed with our choice of venue. Everyone enjoyed their food and cocktails immensely. Thank you for a wonderful evening!"

"I have visited this restaurant at least 10 times in the last 2 years, as it is in a quiet opposite close to a climbing center. the restaurant is clean, cozy and the staff is always attentive. there are around 7 or 8 tables. some for larger groups and then some smaller, so it is never too busy and therefore eating is served quite quickly. there is a large selection of feeds from yakisoba, variations of sushi, bento boxes and nude and rice dishes as well as many appetizers. I have always found the portions to be generous and the aromes are also very good. the best part is that the price is extremely reasonable, rough £15 per person she will be good and really full in the rule with a starter and a pornstar. the restaurant itself is not the most atmospheric or elaborate in terms of decor, but it is warm and comfortable with generally good employees. highly recommended for anyone looking for a pleasant experience."

"Great sushi and other japanese fare. Wife and I have been here many times but I always forget to take pictures so I haven't reviewed it before now. The food here isn't trying anything new, but it does what it does well. Not even going to pretend to know how to spell the japanese names for the dishes, but we had; Fried Calamari, lovely buttery taste pairs well with the spicy mayo. 7/10 Octopus balls, crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside. Great stuff 8/10 Miso soup, their miso has a great depth of flavour and I get it basically every time, 8/10 The venue is fairly small and usually pretty popular so you might struggle to walk in without a booking if you're a larger group, but for a group of 2-4 you should have no issues. It's a little bit on the pricey side, but if you like good japanese food this is place to get it."

"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"

"during the kovid we were forced to go to clifton instead of zanzibar and the experience on par we were obliged to go to the best restaurants in the opposite. noa ended on our radar thanks to a friend's recommendation and we came here twice in a week. eating was absolutely incredible. the highlight was the drachenrolle, I must have eaten four of them during a week. an unforeseen Japanese restaurant in a romantic part of the city and gives the best Japanese restaurant I have visited in the last 10 years. unexplained thanks to the kitchen staff."

"Fantastic little sushi restaurant in Stockbridge with an absolutely amazing atmosphere, really recommend getting one of the sushi sets purely for the plate in the shape of a boat! My only gripe is that they don’t accept card payement, was a hassle finding a machine and then having to police how much we could spend there, really hope they offer a form of electronic payment in the future, And my only other gripe was the wine being served in a tumbler, took away a lot of the flavours of the wine, But regardless of these the fish was fresh and the gyoza delicious"

"I gave them all 5 stars to be nice and nit hurt their score, but I really just want to complain that I have been asking them to adjust their deliveroo menu to make it possible to choose not to have mayonnaise on the sushi rolls and they won't do it. I would order like 20 times per month if they would just do it. Instead I never order because I hate mayonnaise with all my heart"

"Staff were very attentive and checked on us regularly throughout the meal asking if we needed more drinks etc. the food is amazing, we ordered a variety of dishes to share between the 4 of us so that we could sample as much as possible. The squid portion was generous and tasted delicious and the bang bang shrimp were also really good. We had the bulgogi beef skewers and aubergine skewers both were tasty but the beef ones were very flavoursome and my favourite dish of all. The desserts are also really tasty passion fruit cheesecake was deconstructed and has a hidden layer of passion fruit sauce underneath to add extra zing. The only fault would be the cookie dough would have benefitted from more ice cream as it was a little sickly after a while."

"I placed a bet on the Grand National just for fun and took the betting slip with me to Nando’s, where I enjoyed my lunch. Unfortunately, I accidentally left the slip there and only realized it after discovering I had won later in the day. When I returned to search for the slip, Cecilia was incredibly helpful, even searching through the bins to help me find it. I later went to the betting shop, which had a record of my purchase and paid out my winnings. I returned to Nando’s to thank Cecilia for her kindness, and it turned out she had continued searching, eventually finding the ticket and safely placing it under the till for me. Her act of kindness was truly touching. It’s also a great Nando’s!"

"Firstly , we get a takeaway from here almost every Friday night the sushi is absolutely fantastic and the food quality overall is excellent but we always collect as despite living five minutes drive away it can be very Hap hazard in terms of accuracy and time for delivery . Last week we decided to meet friends there instead 8.15 booking , food again delicious but when we asked for plates as we wanted to share a number of dishes the saucers were produced for each of us with no serving spoons. Everything seems to be a hassle when asked for . I then asked for a coffee at 9.30 I was told in a rude fashion that no I couldn’t as the kitchen closes at 9 pm !! Despite there being another two tables still in the restaurant the bleach bucket and mop then appeared to start cleaning down the restaurant ! This included the whole way down the stairs which was completely wet as we carefully tried to leave without slipping on the freshly mop floors at 10 pm on a Friday night ! you feel like you are imposing and irritating them by eating in . So 5 outta 5 for a takeaway but 2/5 as an eating in experience im afraid ."

"Spotted this place on Yelp after so many people bookmarked it, just as well as I'm rarely in town and would never have known it existed After some negotiating traffic and road closures I arrive at the door, first impressions is .... Oh no it's just a take out place .... I go in and I'm surprised to see it has ample bar seating and some tables too! Yeah I get a seat The menu is immediately available as it doubles as your placemat, order my drinks and they come quickly. Decent amount of choice and I'm surprised at how low the prices are given its city centre location. Place an order of many things as I'm a pig Salmon maki comes first, not sure what the lovely waitress said as she placed it down however I was hungry and got stuck in, it looked different .... Then I realise it is cooked salmon.... Taste is obviously different too, just as I was feeling that it isn't really what I wanted..... Some salmon maki arrives?????? Another, this time uncooked as you would expect.... I question it and I'm told the first was for free...... What!!!! Free.... 6 maki .... To try wow! Nice! Loved it a little more now My chicken teriyaki miso ramen arrives, huge bowl, well presented and with a traditional wooden ladle, it was delightful plenty of noodles, chicken and packed full of flavour Then..... I'm feeling ashamed now .... My veg tempura arrives ..... I audibly gasp at the portion size, all that for a fiver! Geeeez I managed half the ramen and shock horror had to box up the tempura to take with me..... Anyone that knows me knows I hate doing this .... My partner Maria however does it every restaurant and it drives me crazy! However there was so much food and the tempura not even touched I had to! All that including drinks £19.20 well cheaper than I would spend in yo sushi and much more flavour with a personal service It looses a star however for the following No bubble tea as advertised on the menu (I was disappointed as I love me a bbt) The interior as much as I love an industrial/stressed/wood feel I do not however like plywood on the walls, bare concrete great, rusting metal great look, distressed wood and brickwork lovely..... Plywood cheap and nasty, I would have preferred anything even some reclaimed wood, old pallets anything but ply Next was cash only, I had none on me, it was a little inconvenient to walk down to central station to get cash out a machine and come back to pay, even if they did trust I would return (I did offer to leave my driving licence as proof of return) All in though, you go for the food and service on that I will definitely be returning"

"Amazing! Super authentic sushi, I’ve tried almost everywhere in London, and this place is my new favourite for sure. Sushi and sashimi is very fresh, they have uni, wagyu and less known fish cuts. The chef is great sushi looks visually stunning and it’s prepare and seasoned absolutely perfect. Will come back many times for sure. Thank you so much!"

"An absolute gem tucked away behind the station. I stopped for a quick early dinner on my way out and had to stay longer for to try another dish the first was so good. The staff were very friendly, warm and welcoming, the place is clean, the service was fantastic and the food well I already mentioned I stayed for more. When in London I usually visit a place in Camden for Sushi but now I have a choice south of the river too. I will be back to try the rest of the menu!"

"We visited Koto Restaurant on North Parade for Sunday lunch for the first time, and we wish we had tried it sooner. The ramen broth was incredibly delicious, with a gentleman next to us remarking that it tasted just like what he had in Japan. The menu was straightforward and easy to order from, with both the broth and noodles being homemade and preservative-free. The food was healthy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The only downside was that they do not take reservations, so there may be a wait. Overall, I would rate the food at Koto Restaurant as some of the best in Oxford."

"The meal was delicious, the staff was attentive, and they refilled our teapots with water several times without us having to ask. The restaurant had bamboo sushi mats as partitions, giving us the feel of our own private space. I booked in advance over the phone for my birthday, which was a quick process. They even offered to keep my cake in their fridge. The only small issue was that their card machine was broken at the end, so they only accepted cash. However, they provided an option to pay via bank transfer with a £2 fee starting tomorrow."

"This restaurant is a hidden gem. The service was excellent as we were attended to by the same gentleman throughout our meal. He was softly spoken and not intrusive, yet very attentive to our needs. He promptly refilled our drinks and offered us additional cutlery without us having to ask. The food exceeded our initial expectations, especially considering the reasonable prices of £8-15 for a main course."
