California Sandwich Restaurants

Sakagura

➤ 8 Heddon Street London, W1B 4BS, United Kingdom

Fish • Sushi • Noodles • Japanese

"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."

Bisushima

➤ 8 St. Martin's Pl, London, United Kingdom, WC2N 4JH

Terrace • Japanese

"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!"

Frankie Benny's

➤ Alphington Road, Exeter United Kingdom, United Kingdom

Pizza • Italian • American • Vegetarian

"Five star worthy experience this afternoon. First time here and have to say the place is really cool. I appreciate it when popular eateries dedicate a page on their menu to unmistakable certified vegan options. The options are plenitude as well. Great restaurant choice for a warm vegan pizza and a classic milkshake in a retro glass- loved this so much. Decor is so cosy and also retro- warm dim lighting, comfy booths. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their lunch. The two chefs on the weekday lunch shift today (one male, one female were very quick at servicing the food orders and seemed like they enjoy their profession- I hope the company treats them well as they deserve the recognition. To be blunt for a second, I appreciate that the chefs here wear hair caps as I have seen too many places in which chefs do not? My waiter had a good personality, acknowledged my wish to eat from the vegan menu. She had a relaxed vibe about her. I think she (Nicole makes the Exeter branch special. I came alone but I imagine it would be a fantastic place to bring a loved one and share a meal together : Must say one last time the interior design is bang on- even in the toilets! Fun change of music as well- not typical commercialised tunes. The likes of Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Barbara Acklin and lesser known ones like Freddie the Dreamers. What a joy!"

Briscola Pizza Society Duomo

➤ Via Dogana 1Milan 20123, Milano, United Kingdom

Wine • Cafe • Pizza • Pasta

"Actually, it's more of a 3.5 stars. The location is nice near the cathedral, and the menu has been updated with new dishes. The pizza sharing remains a winning formula, and the pizzas are very good, even with special toppings. When we arrived, they seated us outside, as the indoor area is only accessible after 7:30pm, but it was too hot outside! Another downside is the bill, quite expensive despite the discount on Thefork! The justification that it is near the cathedral doesn't make sense, because it is a chain!"

Gourmet Burger Kitchen

➤ 54 Garratt Lane, Southside Shopping Centre, London, SW184TF, United Kingdom

Kebab • Cafés • Burgers • Fast Food

"I ordered The Don with Chunky Skin-on Fries and Garlic Mayo dipping sauce. It was the best burger I have ever had! No wonder there was about a 15-20 mins wait, because it was worth it. The waitress was adorable. I would definitely recommend it and I wish we would've visited it another time to try something else, it is a must-try!"

Flesh Buns Covent Garden

➤ 41 Earlham StreetWC2H 9LX, London, United Kingdom

Fish • Asian • Chicken • Japanese

"Took my friend for a birthday dinner here and my friend just kept saying how delicious the food is. We went on a Monday eve, so the food came out really quickly and the service was impeccable. What we had: Starters: Chips dips rice crackers with avocado shisho and tomato salsa. This was my least favourite dish and the one that I wouldn't order again. It wasn't bad but the rice crackers were a tad bland. 3/5 Beef fat potato chips those were **** amazing! Try them! 5/5 Fried squid with yuzu kosho mayo and Japanese spices they were spicy and moreish! Would order again for sure 5/5 Mains: Flesh bun crispy piglet belly! I absolutely love pork belly! It was melting in the mouth with a crispy skin what more can you want. 5/5 Miso glazed aubergine poke don classic Japanese way of cooking aubergine. Delicious! 5/5 Dessert: Kinako donuts solid choice but next time I'll try the fondant (takes 15min to cook apparently! The only thing that I found jarring with the whole ambiance of the place was the hentai in the toilets. I did appreciate it, it just looked a bit out of place and might raise some eyebrows"

Runyonas At Brooklyn

➤ 59 Portland StreetM1 3HP, Manchester, United Kingdom

Full • Fish • American • High Tea

"My wife and I had a child free day so took the opportunity to go for an afternoon tea. We selected a veggie afternoon tea in advance turns out we should have selected a Brooklyn afternoon tea (it turns out there is more than one veggie afternoon tea, although there is only one displayed on the menu on OpenTable) After finally sorting out the right afternoon tea (by the waiter who was great and helpful) we finally got what we booked forâ¦although it wasnât quite as good as we hoped for per head It was certainly looked greatâ¦but to be honest the food was just ok. The sandwiches were different but yet somehow tasted all the same. The cakes were good and moist. The drinks were fine but nothing mind blowing. The main issue we had was with the Scones (arguably the most important part of an afternoon tea) The scones were small, dry and rock hard. Cardboard in flavour. A real disappointment. Itâs a real shame cause with some fine tuning and a bit more care and attention they could get something really special that people would talk about. Overall it wasnât a bad experience and the waiter really tried hard to fix as much as he could. He kind of saved the lunch."

Ed's Diner

➤ 52 Lord St,, Liverpool, L21TD, United Kingdom

Kebab • Diners • American • Fast Food

"this place was fantastic. I am from California and ed’s was a wonderful memory of home. this place feels like the 50s and it puts a smile on her face when she in. I have a big ed’s burger and it was delicious (have a tweebel ring and speck on it, I mean, come it.) eating here has given me the feeling as if I had worth my money. the drinks are a bit expensive, but if you get water, a pornstar, and one side, it's not too bad. the service was good, we were greeted at the door and immediately got a place. the dings were busy and we have to eat quickly. I would definitely go back!"

Kiri Restaurant

➤ 22 Woodstock St London, W1C 2AR, United Kingdom

Beer • Korean • Japanese • Sri Lankan

"There are many good Japanese restaurants in London (Chisou, Sakagura, Roka, Murakami, Sosharu, etc) I don't consider Kiri one of them. Kiri's menu items are priced similar to other restaurants but the standard is much lower. The quality of sushi at Kiri was poorer (sinewy and chewy), service was poor even though the restaurant wasn't busy on our visit. Our fairly light, quick meal for two (with a cocktail each and a glass of sochu each) came to £140.00. This seemed very over priced for the food and poor dining experience we had. I wouldn't recommend Kiri and I won't be returning."

Sushi Atariya Ealing Common

"Rafael was extremely generous. I ordered 1/2 Chicken Extra Hot and wanted 2 breast pieces and he simply sorted it out for me no questions asked. Always been my favourite Nandos and still will be. Thanks Rafael!"

Ichiban

➤ 81 St. Leonards Road, Windsor, SL43BZ, United Kingdom

Sushi • Asiatic • Seafood • Mexican

"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."

Yatta Sushi

"I went to Sushi Style restaurant for a quick mealThe restaurant is a plain ordinary restaurant that serves food at a reasonable prices."

Ichiban Fusion

➤ 184 Dumbarton Road Glasgow, G11 6UN, United Kingdom

Sushi • Chinese • European • Japanese

"Ichiban Fusion is a staple restaurant for us. The menu is simple and straightforward, food is excellent and prices are decent. Staff are always friendly, and we’ve only once ever had an issue with an order (one plate of food being forgotten about). Having dined...there a lot, one issue isn’t a big deal, and it was sorted very quickly. Personal favs are chicken tempura and chicken yakisoba but the menu is varied and caters for a wide range of palettes and choices. Vegetarian dishes are available, and both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks are available. And excellent place to eat, all in. The tables are long communal types, but generous with space and access, and baby seats are provided also should you require, so nice and child friendly too. Prices are reasonable, a meal for three with drinks will typically be in the category for the group. Portion sizes are good and food is delivered quickly. It’s a struggle to get Japanese food that’s even close to the real thing having worked in Japan, I like the cuisine. Ichiban Fusion is as close as I’ve came to Japanese food in Scotland. And excellent place to eat."

Kurumaya

➤ 76 - 77 Watling Street London, EC4M 9BJ, United Kingdom

Fish • Sushi • Salad • Chicken

"This place had been on our list for a while. Maybe this place is better at lunch but tonight the restaurant floor was dirty (not great when we had to get down to your socks); no heating and a few spiders crawling around. The toilets were mostly out of order, had no lights, a small candle in the cubicle (and cables hanging out the roof and bulbs in the corner) and had to use to phone torch to wash hands. The waitress was lovely and more than helpful. But this didn’t make up for the food we sent back stringy, dry and tough pork. We won’t go back but maybe this is great for a lunch spot or for a takeaway."

Pasha Central Asian

➤ 158 Camberwell Road, London I-SE5 0EE, United Kingdom

Uzbek • Asian • Coffee • Turkish

"Once inside, you can choose to sit at a regular table or in a low seating area surrounded by plush cushions, which I highly recommend. The restaurant was quite empty when we visited, with only two other patrons, yet it felt peaceful and inviting—a calming experience enhanced by the journey through the narrow corridor. We started with Turkish coffee, which tasted like a lighter version of espresso. For appetizers, we ordered icli kofte, and I have to say it was truly amazing—crispy and fresh with a perfect balance of flavors, and the taste of the lamb was exceptional. For the main course, we tried besh barmak, and it was absolutely delicious! The broth was well-balanced, and the delicate beef was served with a pasta that was reminiscent of lasagna. It was simply outstanding. We also ordered a chicken alaturka, which was good but didn’t quite measure up to the previous dish. From the grill, we had the adana shashlik, which was underwhelming. To finish, we ordered black tea served with chak chak, which complemented the tea wonderfully and left us feeling very satisfied. The portions were generous, and the flavors were harmoniously balanced. The most remarkable aspect of the restaurant was its ambiance; it felt so much like home that we ended up staying for four hours without wanting to leave. Our server was incredibly friendly and enthusiastic, happy to discuss the food and the restaurant with us. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!"

Kisaku Japanese Restaurant

➤ 470 Chiswick High Road London, W4 5TT, United Kingdom

Tea • Fish • Beer • Sushi

"There is a strong online presence of a lunch menu for Kisaku. After confirming what my wife would like me to pick up, I was told upon arrival that there was no lunch menu. There was a similar dish for $12.50 instead of $7.50 on the regular menu. I felt completely disappointed to have traveled there to be offered a 65% price increase. The owner did not apologize. I went elsewhere and will never return. The place was completely empty at 1 pm, and I am not surprised. By the way, Kiasu is a Hokkien word that denotes a selfish and greedy attitude that arises from fear of missing out. I think the restaurant should change its name."

Sushi Atelier

➤ 114 Great Portland Street, London I-W1W 6PH, United Kingdom

Sushi • Asian • Seafood • Japanese

"I booked a table for my birthday, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. Sitting right at the table provided an incredible experience. It was fascinating to watch the pace and consistency with which the food was prepared, and everything tasted fantastic, even though many of the dishes came pre-prepared. The fatty tuna roll and the omakase are definitely must-tries. Since visiting, I've found that sushi everywhere else seems bland in comparison. I definitely want to come back here. The take-out orders I saw also reflected the high quality of the food."

Gaucho Piccadilly

➤ 25 Swallow Street London, W1B 4QR, FSA Food H, United Kingdom

Meat • Steak • Barbecue • Gluten Free

"So I chose the restaurant just because it was conveniently located near the theatre I was attending. I walked past, the restaurant looked nice, food on tables looked nice, there were empty tables, so decided to go in. So from start to finish, being honest, nothing was bad, but nothing was good either. After waiting a short while at the entrance to the restaurant I was asked to go back outside register. After asking why, the waiter took me out, appeared to register me to a table in the computer, then walked me back inside… not exactly convenient no one had stopped me prior. The menu came quickly was asked if I would like water, I asked for sparking, but they only offer 1L bottles, not ideal for single diners. So I was already a little frustrated by now, then the waiter came to take my order. I rarely use this word, but I think best describes him: “snooty”. He seemed to know better, challenging what I wanted to order. After stating clearly what I would like, he then didn’t speak with me again, just placing items on my table as they were ready waking away. I had a 400g beef sirloin which was fine, I did ask for rare but was medium at best. Most importantly, the mash potato side was clearly from packet (not fresh) which was bland and disappointing. Finally when I wanted to pay the bill, no one would bring the bill finally had to walk to the service counter to get the check pay. If this was a casual restaurant, then I would not have much to comment, but if they are charging reasonable prices targeting a more premium dining experience, they are missing the mark on several levels. At best I would say this is just a good tourist restaurant."
