Sakagura

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

Fish • Sushi • Noodles • Japanese

"First of all, as a regular customer I always choose to sit in the booth. Our booking specified that we had a complimentary Prosecco and booth seat upon reservation. We did not get the booth seats however it did not bother us and we just sat were the hostess accommodated us. After ordering our food, I also asked if they had a portion of fries. The waitress had told me they do sweet potatoes fries and hakasara fries , I ordered the hakasara fries after she told me they were regular french fries with mayo sauce, which I assumed to he sirachi mayo sauce. I also made it clear that I’m vegetarian after she asked if we had an allergy concerns. After eating all our food and the fries, I ordered another portion of the same fries and more sushi. I then proceeded to ask a man who looked like the manager , what was in the sauce as I had never tasted something like that. He then told me it’s fish mayo sauce. I was absolutely furious, as somebody who has not eaten meat and fish for years, it had made me sick to my guy and I had then lost my appetite and mood. Although they apologised, and I appreciate it I believe what the waitress did was careless and not excusable in certain circumstances , considering somebody may have a very severe allergy to fish , unlike in my situation , and would have ended up in hospital. More precautions should be taken to ensure customers know what they are eating, considering the menu is very vague and does not specify. Very disappointed."

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!"

Briscola Pizza Society Duomo

➤ Via Dogana 1Milan 20123, Milano, United Kingdom

Wine • Pizza • Cafés • 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!"

Novikov Lounge Bar

➤ 50A Berkeley Street W1J 8HA, W1J 8DR, London, United Kingdom

Beer • Wine • Asian • Italian

"Want to eat with celebrities? Looking for a posh but affordable place to eat? Want good portion sizes? Looking for fresh authentic Italian food? We got the set lunch menu in the Italian restaurant THREE COURSES £26.00. Which one do you like best (1/2/3)? Comment below Before you go they ask you to send a picture of yourself so they can recognise you when you walk through the door. While waiting for our food they gave us a cup of soup, bread and breadsticks; we made a bit of mess with the crumbs but the waiters came and cleared it with this metal crumb remover fancy). Starter: TAGLIOLINI WITH SLOW COOKED TOMATO FROM GRANANO AND SHEEP RICOTTA Main: TONNARELLI WITH VEAL RAGOUT This didnt look the best but tasted fantastic Desert: TIRAMISU no complaints at all, you have to try this!!!! I would definitely go here again this is the best service I have received so far! I was definitely full when I left. They try to make sure the food is as fresh as possible. They had a display of all the vegetables and fish; the colours were amazing. The restaurant is beautiful inside there are trees in big plant pots, sky lights and candle chandeliers. Getting the set lunch menu meant it was really quiet when we went I believe it gets quite busy in the evenings. Also Drake was dining in the private dining room next to us! Good Italian comfort food indeed. Ratings out of 10: Taste: 9 Service: 10 (I was happy to pay the 15% service charge) Price: 7 Presentation: 8"

UNI

➤ 18a Ebury St, Victoria SW1W 0LU, SW1W 0LS, London, United Kingdom

Fish • Sushi • Asian • Dessert

"It is hard to find good sushi in London, but this little neighbourhood restaurant really excels! Whoever is buying the fish knows what they are doing it is uniformly fresh, and well-cut. The selection, while not massive, does include some hard-to-find items like amaebi' (beautiful little sweet shrimp) and suzuki (sea bass, not motorcycles), as well as two grades of tuna and the usual hamachi. the rice was properly made and the spicy edamame were really spicy! We were sat downstairs in a very cool, vault-like booth, but there is a sushi bar upstairs, which I'm not sure is in service just yet. Speaking of service, our waitress was lovely overall, no complaints. We took a chance on this restaurant, as it is in our neighbourhood, and were really pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food we can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu."

Flesh Buns Covent Garden

➤ 41 Earlham StreetWC2H 9LX, London, United Kingdom

Fish • Asian • Chicken • Japanese

"This was my first visit to Flesh and Buns and I would definitely be bringing other people here. The service is top notch. They were so accommodating when we were going to be late whereas other places might get funny about it. The food was amazing. It was so quick to the table and it tasted absolutely delicious. The only negative when it comes to the food I could say is that the beef that my friend got was a tad overcooked and a little tough but the Japanese chicken that I had was delicious. The portion sizes are very good as well. Cocktails are a little expensive but that is London pricing for you. They were really nice. Deadly because you can drink them like water. Overall, one of the best restaurants that I have been to and I will definitely be coming again."

Runyonas At Brooklyn

➤ 59 Portland StreetM1 3HP, Manchester, United Kingdom

Full • Fish • American • High Tea

"Overall, it was a pleasant evening at the restaurant. It took a while for someone to come and take our drink order. My husband, who doesn't drink, ordered a non-alcoholic beer but was told there were no options available. Instead, he was offered a cider, which also contained alcohol. It was disappointing to see no non-alcoholic options other than soft drinks in this day and age, especially during January when many people are participating in Dry January. Despite this, the food was excellent. The salt and pepper chicken starter had a different flavor than expected but was still enjoyable."

Flesh & Buns

➤ 41 Earlham St, Bloomsbury WC2H 9LX, London, United Kingdom

Bars • Full • Asian • Steak

"This is probably my fourth visit over a period of several years. They have an interesting menu, but I've always ordered the Shashimi set. It is always good and I've decided to stick with what I've enjoyed in the past. About the only complaint is the flight of stairs leading to the restaurant. I have mobility problems and wish there was a lift. Still, it is one of my favorite places to eat in London and most convenient for a visit to the Donmar Warehouse."

Kiri Restaurant

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

Beer • Korean • Japanese • Sri Lankan

"During our trip to Japan last year, we dined at Kiri and were thoroughly impressed by the authentic flavors. The restaurant's label as an Izakaya primarily reflected its ambience and decor, rather than its menu. However, this was insignificant as the food was exceptional. We opted for the tasting menu with Sake Pairing, which was priced at a reasonable £60 per person. We were elated by this fantastic discovery and are eager to return for another memorable dining experience."

Sushi Bar Atariya - Ealing Common

➤ 1 Station Parade, Uxbridge Road, Ealing Common London, W5 3LD, SE6 4QZ, United Kingdom

Beer • Sushi • Asian • Italian

"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!"

Ichiban

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

Sushi • Kebab • Asiatic • 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

➤ Little China Town Building, 5 Nelson Street, Bristol, BS12JT, United Kingdom

Sushi • Salad • Asiatic • Delivery Services

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

Kurumaya

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

Fish • Sushi • Chicken • Dessert

"So, if you look at all my reviews, you’ll see that we have been to Japan and eaten at nearly 15 different Japanese restaurants in London. This is very average. A lot of the food was over cooked and most of the sushi and sashimi was so cold, and not fresh, it tasted it came out of the freezer and slapped on the plate. When I looked in the kitchen, he was definitely not from Japan or East Asian in any way... The gyozas were nice, and so was the ginger okra, however when the grilled eel is soggy, king crab leg is stale and the tuna lacked flavour, I think you can tell where this review is going. The city of London is crying out for an excellent Japanese restaurant, sorry to say that this is not it."

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!"

Ichiban Fusion

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

Beer • Sushi • Chinese • Japanese

"The place has a more casual feeling that is something more authentic in view of the kitchen. Sushi very good, can enjoy 24pcs for £30, which is definitely worth it when you enjoy sushi. Sashimi really delicious. However, the most important meals felt like we had bought them in a belly Chinese farewell and served on a plate. Despite ordering various dishes, all sauces lubricated the same, similar sweet and sticky sauces. Taking into account the cost of £9-10 per plate. The waitress was also a little annoying because she would wait until we asked for a court before she told us they didn't. Not a deal breaker, but if you are missing dishes, it should be marked or listed on the menu before you start to decide what you want. Service was pretty fast, and the ambience is pretty cool. Would recommend for a casual informal meal and would avoid buying hot food as a whole."

Kisaku Japanese Restaurant

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

Tea • Fish • Beer • Sushi

"This is without exception my most favourite restaurant in Chiswick, and Chiswick really is not short of one star or two star Michelin restaurants. I love the simplicity of the surroundings with relaxed music, it is clear the owner and his staff care so much about the restaurant, the preparations and the delivery, what can only be described as a piece of art that melts sufficiently in your palette whilst the gastronomic flavours slowly disappear. This is the by far the best japanese restaurant in London. I recently visited for lunch and I am convinced that the food only gets better. Finally the owner takes so much pride and passion in his work, this is demonstrated in the culture and friendliness when you arrive and leave this magnificent restaurant, without question, I will return!"

Zen Japanese & Oriental Restaurant

➤ 42 High Street Southampton, Hampshire SO14 2NS, SO14 2AA, United Kingdom

Sushi • Pizza • Asiatic • European

"I'm leaving a positive review as I've visited on occasions other than Valentine's day. We actually didn't stay for the booked meal as Zen decided to lay on a set meal at an extortionate price that night. We were really disappointed. We were looking forward to their regular menu which is fantastic. Great variety, great quality, with great service, all served up in a pleasant atmosphere. I would normally highly recommend Zen."

Sushi Atelier

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

Sushi • Asian • Seafood • Japanese

"This is not only one of the best sushi experiences in London, it is one of the best in the western world possibly excluding Norway. The precision of the chefs is a delight to watch. The quality of the fish is as high as London’s best. At the same time, the ambience of the place is plain and humble and no order is too small or too simple. Please don’t make the mistake of asking for a salmon and tuna combo with a California roll. You can get that from Wasabi or Itsu or M&S. Instead, stretch your limits and explore the seared butterfish and foie gras, or the chopped yellowtail with homemade truffle mayonnaise. The best option of all is to let the chef decide: Omakase sushi (9 piece), and prepare for a taste explosion. Don’t worry, carb avoiders, there won’t be too much rice. If you want a dressed up, glamorous, first date, fusion experience, go to one of the famous name restaurants and enjoy. But if you want an awesome yet down to earth, precision crafted, anniversary after anniversary sushi experience, this is your place."

Pop Art Sushi

➤ Unit 7 St George Wharf, London, SW82LE, United Kingdom

Sushi • Italian • Cocktail • Delivery Services

"heading home and we were not disappointed. The quality of the ingredients and the presentation were top-notch. The service was exceptional, attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommend giving PopArt a try if you're in the area!"

Miyama

➤ 38 Clarges St, City of London,Westminster, United Kingdom

Fish • Sushi • Asian • Salad

"This was one of the best sushi restaurants I have ever been to. The quality of the fish and the skills of their sushi chef were both flawless. I had the large nigiri plate with a selection of 13 different nigiri, all of them were masterfully assembled and presented. I had sushi in restaurants twice as expensive but less delicious. Things to look out for: Grilled yellowtail nigiri Tuna belly nigiri Sweet water eel nigiri All staff have been extremely attentive at all times, friendly, helpful and polite. We were the last ones to leave the restaurant so I would also like to comment on the hygiene comment that one reviewer made: the chef, who was preparing the sushi in front of us, took one full hour after the last preparation to professionally clean the kitchen. Nothing in this restaurant gave me the impression of poor hygiene."
