"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!"

"I've been to beni shoga twice. the tasting menu (9 courses for £35 per head) is a great starting point for people who are not sure what I had to order I had visited the first time. the second time I ordered a la carte and was again very impressed by the quantity and quality of the food. the kimchi and schweinegyoza were a special highlight, as the coconut ice mochi desserts. there is a sushi menu that I did not try for this occasion. I would recommend either from their cheap reasons for someone who (as I) is a willing noviz. her cocktail menu is delicious, but expensive. the beer selection was quite standard for an Asian fusion compound, and I didn't look especially at the weelist so I can't comment. service was excellent at both places, although the second time that I went, it was a bit slow as we made at the far end of the room, away from the bar and kitchen. However, the free Lychee sauce with dessert more than for it! I'm not sure it's happening every time, but it's both happening paints I was in. also at the second time when I went the bill, it was about £35 per head including drinking money for three courses and drinks, although we did not go for the cocktails that I consider to be the key."

"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."

"Could not fault any part of my experience at this place. Service was helpful and happy without being overbearing or bothersome. Ambience was fantastic and the food was delicious. Well made with quality ingredients and full of flavour I cannot wait to return to this restaurant and sample more of the delights on their menu."

"The location is excellent, and as a group of vegetarians, we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The vegetable ramen and miso aubergine were particularly delicious. However, the restaurant was quite cold due to a significant drop in temperature, and they had to rely on portable heaters. I would love to visit again during a warmer month to fully appreciate the experience. The staff were attentive and polite, and overall, it provided great value for money."

"was here twice. first service was brilliant. exceptionally friendly and efficient server. the second time was the exact opposite. they were not in a hurry to serve and generally extremely rude and outpatient. they seemed to be upset when I asked for a recommendation, and after the choice of a beer that they ran randomly out of them, just went well, I don't know, then should I go? it is not as if I had tried all animals and none selected, I literally first tasted one they offered and asked for a pint. very strange attitude. also someone mentioned prices. yes, I was charged 6 pfunds for this setting and half a pint. after my second visit I can't really recommend the place, I'm not the only one who complains about rude fellow workers. Maybe the owner should really look into what's going on."

"Don't expect to be blown away by this place. It's pre-made koshari that they put in a pot with a few trimmings and hand to you. However if you want some vegan, relatively healthy fast food, this place is great. The food is pre-made, so there is zero wait time, and there were seven seats (and zero other customers), so I had the option of eating in. Whilst eating, I didn't especially approve of a conversation between the two girls working there about how they were sick but... well it didn't put me off the good food. Recommended if you're nearby and want a quick meal, not a place to go out of your way for though."

"Had a nice meal here. Ordered the salmon teriyaki bento box which was a lot of food. Lots of different things so pleasantly surprised. Couldn't eat all of it. Comes with a soup too. Reasonable price so happy. Seemed like a nice venue. Saw people working there or just having coffee and cafe. The only thing that let it down was the dirty cutlery and grubby toilets. The tap water was taken from a tray of already poured glasses of water uncovered so I wasn't too keen on drinking it. Service is included in bill. Not keen on that either tbh, I always like to leave my own tip for service. The restaurant is located in the Green Rooms which is an hotel."

"I love this restaurant! It seems to have new management, as I have heard negative feedback about the previous owner. I decided to give it a try after it rebranded as Takeya, and I was pleasantly surprised."

"It was my first time visiting Trader Vics for my birthday after COVID-19 and my first impression is the atmosphere was lovely and friendly. The staff who attended to us “Rene” was very knowledgeable and made positive recommendations. In a nutshell Rene truly cared about my experience and gave me efficient and outstanding service and he made my day very memorable!! The food was dynamite! We were happy with our meals! The lobster dish was stunning. I highly recommend Trader Vics!!"

"I used to frequent the Queen Street branch of this restaurant a few years ago before the pandemic, visiting multiple times a week. The food was always fresh, tasty, and plentiful. However, after visiting twice in recent months, I am greatly disappointed. The teriyaki chicken now tastes more like boiled chicken with a sauce poured on top, and the portions of meat are small. I also ordered karaage on my second visit, but when asked about my rice and vegetable preferences, it wasn't followed through on. The portions were lackluster, and the sauce resembled a tasteless, clear glue. It felt like a throwback to old Asian takeaways with MSG from the 80s. It's a shame that the quality has declined so much, but despite this, people still seem willing to wait in line. I used to miss this place when I went to our suburban kokoru chain, but even that offers tastier and better value food than this restaurant."

"go here all the time! lol jeans is absolutely delicious. really good burger, but the first time I decided to make the famous Steak plate. everything I had eaten and then from here was delicious. the cocktails are beautiful, only very expensive and no 241 offers otherwise I would drink here all the time. the personal is also great. I can just say I have blinds and the prawn loaded fries and both are absolutely amazing! prawn is deffo better, but I will always update my fries here. the chips cut to house are phenomenal ash. on the photos is the asain or Korean chicken burger, which I cannot remember the names of the apology. Steak plates and these cocktails were beautiful."

"Open every day for lunch and dinner, this hard working Japanese restaurant deserves every ounce of the success it has. The food here is delicious, colourful, and relatively nutritious, while the setting is fairly simple, clean and informal with long tables and benches often shared with neighbouring groups. On the menu there's a choice of authentic Bento Boxes, Ramen, Yakisoba udon, Sashimi, Rice Gohan and various salads and side dishes pretty much everything you'd expect from a Japanese restaurant in the UK. With Bento Boxes from about £10 upwards, and Ramen from about £7, it's very reasonably priced as Japanese restaurants go. The only thing they don't do well is desserts but that's a common theme across all Japanese restaurants I've been to in the UK with Tenkaichi offering just one choice: a Japanese red bean pancake roll served with a plum sauce. It has firmly established itself as one of Cardiff's best and most reasonably priced Japanese restaurants, and as a result is hugely popular at lunchtimes as well as in the evenings so you may have to wait a short while for a seat at times. They also have a separate (but similar) takeaway menu."

"I visited this restaurant for the first time on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't very crowded and the food and service were quick. Since I was unfamiliar with the dishes, I ordered the sharing platter and a Katsu curry, both of which were average. The noise level was quite high, with loud heavy rock music playing. I asked the waitress to lower the volume as it didn't seem fitting for the restaurant. The doors were open due to the warm weather, leading to loud traffic noise. The staff clearing tables seemed unaware of the loud clattering they were creating. While the prices were on the higher side, the food was decent."

"After booking a short stay in Edinburgh for Easter, I decided to try out this restaurant for our first meal. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out to be just a short walk from where we were staying. This worked out perfectly after a long and tiring 6-hour journey. The staff at the restaurant were exceptional and the quality of the meals was impressive, catering to all dietary preferences. I was particularly impressed by the delicious vegan meal I ordered, and my family thoroughly enjoyed their choices as well. Our waiter, who I unfortunately didn't catch the name of, was welcoming and knowledgeable. He even shared interesting information about the cafe's concept, which involves three different themed stores around Edinburgh. We finished off the evening back at our apartment, sharing a fantastic vegan dessert. Overall, it was an amazing start and a great first experience in Edinburgh."

"They have quite a few vegan/vegetarian options here, which is pretty great. Had one of the veg sushi sets (with vegetarian gyozas inside). It was pretty decently priced for the amount that you get, and considering sushi in other places would cost you probably twice or three times as much. The sushi pieces were okay, I guess. Nothing amazing, and not the worst sushi you will ever have. But avoid the gyozas! The skin is... not the best. Very, very tough and dry when I had it (doesn't help that they were cold as well) and it completely lacked flavour. Itsu is worth going only if it's after evening when they slash their prices down for their boxes, or if you fancy a quick, relatively cheap eat around the city. The place is pretty nice though, I'll have to say x"

"The dining experience was enjoyable but not exceptional. The service was satisfactory, though not outstanding. It seems there may be a disconnect between the expectations set by their branding (aiming for a Gordon Ramsay-level quality) and the reality of their offerings, which seem more aligned with wanting to be superior to chains like P.F. Chang's. I would be willing to return, but likely with a smaller group, as I don't feel they manage larger parties very well."

"I highly recommend this place! It's very kid-friendly, with plenty of space for children to get involved in the BBQ cooking. The service was excellent as well. We dined for dinner, and the cost per person was around £50–60. Overall, I would rate the food a 5, the service a 4, and the atmosphere a 4. Some recommended dishes include the seafood, the 16-piece nigiri sushi platter, and the wagyu chef's special set."

"We came here for our anniversary meal and it was not disappointed! We have the dragonboard and it was amazing. It has so much variety and we have been made so full and happy! The tuna and salmon were so fresh and tasted ineffective. Definitely would recommend for any Sushi lover! In any case will come again!"
