"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!"

"Don’t usually write reviews but we had a fantastic time. Food was 10/10 and a special mention for MARIA who served us for a short time, she was very attentive to our needs and made the whole experience 10x better. The restaurant looked busy as well which is always good news. Make sure to come at happy hour, we got a lot of food bottle of wine for £80. We will be coming back."

Cranside Kitchen

➤ The Rotunda28 Tunnel Street, Glasgow, United Kingdom

"Very poor. More like a takeaway with tables. Didn’t have the options advertised on their website. Order via a QR code and pay upfront. No waiting staff- just servers. Food took half an hour to come and it all comes at once (starters mains) and then the drinks came after. Food was edible but nothing special. Toilets weren’t clean. I will never go back"

Kintan Japanese Bbq

"I’ve been to Kintan at Oxford Circus before, but this is the first time I went to the branch. The food was really great as expected. But the service was a bit odd. The waiters kept on interrupting us asking whether they can bring the bill, almost as if they wanted to get rid of us. That was very annoying, because we a bunch of friends meeting after about a year, and we were trying have some quality conversations, and it’s not ideal when you keep getting disturbed every 3 minutes…. In the end we had to tell him to stop interrupting us and that we will call him when we are ready to pay. I have loved in Japan for 5 years, and this is definitely not the Japanese kind of service. In Japan almost all restaurants have a calling bell, and the waiters do not disturb or eavesdrop on their customers’ conversations , and come to the table only when they are needed. If Kintan wants to provide a truly Japanese yaki-niku experience, they should learn some this Japanese service standards as well."

"There aren't plenty of suitable options for vegans so hopefully you’re not too hungry as quantities are quite small. We ordered a few tapas (bang bang cauliflower, vegan red dragon roll, chunky chips) and some cocktails. It's a nice place for a date for example or if you're more thirsty than hungry, although it won't be cheap. Food was okay but not amazing, it's not the type of place I would go regularly if I have other options nearby."

Okasan Sushi

➤ 301 Portobello Road, London, W105TD, W10 5TE, United Kingdom

Fish • Soup • Sushi • Coffee

"Okasan, meaning Mother in Japanese, is a bijou restaurant on the fashionable Portobello Road in W10. A yearning for a plate of sashimi, tempura and some dumplings drew me in to have a final treat before the rigours of co-running my own food business set in after a brief and well deserved break. My companion, a lover of Japanese salad dressings ordered a simple salad, chicken karaage, deep fried chicken and ginger with a spicy mayonnaise and we agreed on a delicate Pinot Girgot blush, a Sospiro priced at £17.00. The salad arrived first and the dressing was so good I had to beg the waitress to tell us what the ingredients were. The chef duly obliged. It was a mix of vinegar, peanuts, sugar, apple juice, water, salt, vegetable oil, sesame seeds and soy sauce. Knowing what is in your food doesn't mean you can recreate the same taste, but I'm going to give it a damned good try. It was simply sensational. Next came the steamed and pan fried dumplings; little golden nuggets of yumminess. My sashimi was spankingly fresh and served with the usual wasabi and the thin slivers of ginger had the perfect tartness to marry with the oily fish. If I had a little gripe it was that there was no daikon, the shredded Japanese radish (or mooli) that has a lovely crunch to it and nearly always accompanies it. The deep fried chicken that had been marinated in soy and ginger was delicious and the spicy mayo packed a punch. I don't recall ever seeing mayo on a Japanese menu before, (this was mayo mixed with chili sauce) but it worked. The wine, ice cold and very pleasant quaffing vino to boot slipped down all too easily. Being a greedy git I then ordered some prawn tempura, the batter of which was light as a feather and a crispy, heavenly coating for the juicy king prawns inside. A double espresso later and the bill came to £60. Japanese food is never cheap (especially when you think of the price of sashimi grade fish which only lasts a day at most) but the flavours, the delicacy, the quality of a good Japanese experience is well worth the price in my book and that's exactly what we had. I'm already looking forward to the next visit."

Hachi Japanese Bbq

➤ 56 Brewer Street, London, United Kingdom

Bbq • Wine • Sushi • Asiatic

"great service! memories of korea and japan come in the senses when they come here, especially with the service button. I wish that all restaurants include this for a faster and efficient service. the quality of wagyu bark is amazing. melt in your mouth. grilling for Japanese bbq is clean and easy against Korean bbq restaurants in the environment. they could use more options for alcohol-free cocktails (mocktails) and maybe use better chiopsticks (the wooden takeaway quality is cheap as it can leave splinters in the fingers). more choices of takoyaki would also be amazing than just the original otopus."

"Found this place by coincidence as we were in the area and suddenly wanted to eat. We were pleasantly surprised and we would come back again. Food is simple but works for the palate. The sushi we ordered were tasty, one can taste the original flavours of the salmon and tuna. Ramen was also nice, a bit salty but not deal breaker. The crispy duck ramen topping was yum but perhaps more should be done to preserve the crispiness of duck as it can easily slide and soak in the broth. Presentation was simple but elegant, including how tea was served. So generous and was in a pot! Very seldom nowadays in restaurants of this price range. Ambience was calm and with the right volume of sound to enjoy the meal. Perhaps missing a bit of the Japanese feel. The staff are amazing.Friendly, attentive and fast service. Overall, very good value for money!"

"The moment we walked in, the bad service started, rude and arrogant staff. From incorrect orders, staff not knowing the menu /unable to give recommendations Starters didn’t arrive, when asked, the French waitress said you didn’t order when we clearly did, (couldn’t be bothered to write it down! The buns had a dye stamp which you couldn’t even read showed zero attention to detail. The crab in the bun still had the shell on it was inedible which after complaining they eventually changed but there was no explanation or apology Most of the staff looked like they were at a funeral completely disengaged .When I complained to the manager, she was defensive and came across rude The range of drinks was poor, we asked for piña colada and they had no clue Apparently (as per note on menu says the chef who created the menu was from Nobu which is laughable Resteraunts always have a chance to make any shortfall up, and they didn’t… which says it all. Don’t waste your time or money going to this empty place."

"We arrived 5 minutes early and waited by the door for 10 minutes past our reservation time. The staff seemed preoccupied with chatting and taking delivery orders, and did not seat us or check on us. The service seemed slow, possibly due to understaffing. However, the food was amazing as always. We ordered using a QR code and received our food faster than if we had waited for the staff. We were also automatically charged extra for tips, which we found unfair as it should be optional. We will consider whether to return to this restaurant in the future."

Midori Japanese Restaurant

➤ 271 Muswell Hill Broadway,, London, N101DE, United Kingdom

Sushi • Seafood • Asiatic • Japanese

"The flavours of the dishes were high definition and really came through strong with every bite. Teriyaki Chicken was lovely and is must order again next time. Prawn Tempura and Katsu Chicken were very crispy! All the Sushi Rolls were amazing! The menu came with pictures which really helped with understanding what to order. There was also a snapshot of history on the dishes with was a nice touch and added to the theatre of the meal. Food is very filling. The customer service is exemplary. They went above and beyond to create an experience for the customer and I really appreciated this as it was my birthday. Decor was lovely and intimate! Payment quick and easy to splits with the card machine. Not even attached the surface on how lovely this place is. Must go back soon!!!"

Zumu Sushi Robatayaki

Sushi • Asian • Grill • Seafood

"I had high hopes for this restaurant as it appeared elegant inside. However, it was not very busy, and now I understand why. While the food tasted good, the portions were small and overpriced. For instance, six small prawns were £11, much to my surprise. My companion and I spent £50 on food but still needed to eat elsewhere afterwards due to the lack of food. The manager was pleasant but seemed overwhelmed, and other staff members were not very attentive. Our server struggled with English and I had to wait for the manager to take my order, even though it was just reading items off the menu. Additionally, a teenage boy at the bar kept changing the music volume, making it difficult to talk. We were also required to pay a £5 service charge, which felt unfair given the poor service. I doubt the restaurant will survive long with this level of operation, which is a shame as a good Japanese restaurant would thrive in Hale. As shown in my photo, the sushi cost £10."

Ebisu

"We were travelling from London for a night in Weston, and were so disappointed with food choices in Weston Super Mare. And then we came across Ebisu. It’s a small Japanese restaurant hidden away on Regent street. It was Saturday evening and we wanted an early dinner, luckily there was a table for two available for us. Restaurant is small, and tables become hard to come by as most are reserved in advance. Decor is tastily minimalistic, simple and clean, we loved hand painted wallpaper. We ordered Chicken Karaage and Ebisu cauliflower to wake up our taste buds, and Salmon donburi and Crispy potato Katsu for our mains. Many Japanese restaurants make compromises, this one didn’t. Food was superb and authentic, portions were generous, each served fresh slaw of daikon and carrot or salad leaves, each bite you took was superbly flavoursome. We were particularly impressed with Ebisu Cauliflower. We can honestly say that this one is one of best Japanese we have eaten for a long time. If you love Japanese food, this one is for you, do book in advance. We will be back."

"The first time for me to eat Japanese afternoon tea. But it is not enough for the afternoon tea since most of afternoon tea are refillable except this one. The food is ok, not bad and not special. Compared the food with the price , overpriced! They did not try to fill the tea with best service but I accept the servant are nice with smile."

"Disgraceful customer service! The three of us ordered via the QR code as requested, but there was an error on my friend’s phone. When my friend called the waitress over to ask she was quite abrupt and started touching the screen (NOT covid friendly) When the food started coming out we quickly realised that my friend’s food had been ordered twice so she instantly told the waitress who only responded the kitchen had already cooked it and we would have to take it. We explained we did not want it, and would not eat it but she grew increasingly angry and aggressive with us and started insisting it wasn’t her fault, and that we ordered it so we would have to pay for it. Still shocked how much she argued with us, but eventually she agreed not to force us to have the extra food and then stormed into the kitchen and started shouting quite loudly we could hear quite clearly in the restaurant. The atmosphere after that was so tense and awful, we half expected her to try and charge us when we asked for the bill. Thankfully she didn’t but there was a laughable enforced “service” charge added I simply didn’t have the patience to argue it, we just needed to leave at that point. Will never be returning, which is a shame because the food was nice. We’ve often ordered take out from here also but after what happened today we will no longer be giving them our custom."

Hasu Sushi

➤ United Kingdom, Ealing

Sushi • Asian • Vegan • Japanese

"We had a Japanese friend staying with us who had not had a Japanese meal in England before. We decided to try this Japanese restaurant as a takeaway and ordered several dishes. Our friend rated the meal overall as a 6 out of 10. I...would agree with her. The dishes were cooked to the Western palate and had a little too much sugar added making the fried udon, teriyaki chicken and fried aubergine all too sweet for the Asian palate. However, we will still visit the restaurant in future. We will make a point to request the chef to reduce the amount of sugar and salt."

"This Japanese restaurant serves delicious food! I have visited multiple times and have always been satisfied. The service is excellent and the dishes are wonderful. We tried the vegetable ramen and salmon bento, both of which were not only generous in portion size but also incredibly affordable. The food arrived at our table within 10 minutes of ordering, and we were impressed by the efficiency. Our bill came to around 40 pounds for dinner for two, including drinks. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in search of quick and delicious Japanese cuisine."

"I have been here 4 times in the last 2 years and the first 2 experiences were amazing, the third I felt like the quality was dropping but still ok. But I went last night with 4 friends and the waiter was really not bothered, my ramen had next to no toppings which I was quite gutted, I had 2 slivers of bamboo, for as the vegan ramen is really expensive for quite basic ingredients, but the star of the show for me was always the tofu cake which is an incredible home made tofu cake with seaweed and spices and it’s just to die for. They have now replaced the tofu cake with plain fried tofu and I just don’t think it was worth it. My friends who had not been said they enjoyed theirs (but also they had meat). Was somewhere I used to recommend for veggies but honestly it would have been worth £8, maybe…. Not £15. Such a shame as I loved this place."
