"The good points were even though there was a queue to get in, and it looked quite long (about 15 people), it moved quickly and we were in in under 10 mins. The food came very quickly and was delicious. The bad points though (hence the 3 stars) were that the drinks came nearly 10 minutes after our last dish arrived, and we had to ask for them. We also asked for water and had to ask 3 times for that. It's disappointing as the food was so quick and delicious."

"The food was delicious, reasonably priced, and came in generous portions. The manager personally took my order and the head chef prepared my meal. They had a separate gluten-free menu and were very knowledgeable about dietary restrictions."

"We liked this place. The staff was super friendly and nice. One of the drinks we ordered with the pea flower gin was really outstanding. We had the rice cracker, shishito pepper, a cuke salad and squid starters. The crackers were great the salsa ordinary and did not detect shiso in the avocado. The cuke salad was good but would have liked more cukes to lettuce ratio. The squid was ok, not great, and skimpy but the yuzu mayo was really great. The peppers were ok. We had miso eggplant, pork belly and duck. The eggplant itself was good, not so crazy about the miso preparation. The pork was great and the duck was also very good. We weren’t crazy about the plum sauce; it needed something. These dishes would have been improved by some green onions and a bunch of cilantro. We had the cheesecake dessert with whiskey ice cream. Found the cheesecake bland but loved the ice cream . They very kindly brought the child with us a sweetly decorated scoop of mango sorbet which she loved. This restaurant is rated 4 1/2 stars. I would rate it 4.3 based on our visit but we might have ordered more adventurously with out a child in tow."

"for the first time was the visit of wagamama and I had the vegatsu curry and some veggie gyozas. most dishes have a vegan version (and it is not just the meat or fish removed, which was great. this particular industry said they were understaffed when I left, but eating came about 15 minutes and the staff was super nice so I imagine it is even better under normal circumstances!"

"There was no possible to book a table. We had to wait minutes in a queue before we got a table. We were there on a Saturday night. The place was jam packed. The food and service was great. We each got a whole bowl of food with different ingredients and flavors. I had the duck steamed buns and duck rice bowl It was alot of food! The food came quite fast and the service was good. The meal took around hour to complete and since there was quite a long queue, we hurried out for the next guests to come in and enjoy the food and the atmosphere."

"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"

"The only complaint I have is that everything felt a bit worn out and not take care of. The menus were falling apart. The floor was sticky. The decor also felt a little off. Just looks like the person who owns it doesn’t really care all that much for it. But the chef we had was charming and the food was good. My kids loved it and I haven’t had tepanyaki in years. Overall a pleasant experience, just don’t walk in with high expectations."

"I was looking for an appetizer and a nice restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday. Ambience and authenticity were excellent, staff very friendly and helpful. Food was amazing, we chose set menu £35pp. Food was excellent, but wished there were more dishes and lots of food per person was not enough I.e ordered Teriyaki salmon and there was only 1 piece of slam that we had to share. I felt that when we paid per person, I would like the food for each person to have been the same quantities, Dessert was beautiful. Would definitely recommend and visit again, but would be a bit more careful with the choice of food. Perfect location for appetizers in the Royal Albert Hall"

"First time here, I don't know what I was expecting but whatever it was I was definitely impressed! Smart place, we had a Groupon for Saturday's which was incredibly good value. The is on another level, cooked super fresh from scratch, it's up there with the best I've had. I liked the bar as well comfortable. The open plan kitchen pizzeria was nice. The staff were super accommodating and mega friendly! I'd come back for sure."

"I had the worst restaurant experience in Edinburgh at this place. The food was not good (we ordered the chili chicken ramen, regular chicken ramen, and vegetable gyoza). The service was really bad too. My friend got their food but I had to wait over 20 minutes because no one checked on us. I had to ask a different server for my food, and it wasn't even being prepared. Definitely not worth it. If you want ramen, go to Maki and Ramen instead - it's much better. There are also better Asian food options in town."

"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."

"Neighborhood Sushi Joint in Stoke Newington. We went as coward of 4 on New Year's Eve for early dinner before the family all distributed to their respective celebrations. The staff was on the ball and the sushi was very good and inventive. The decor is quite simple, but still comfortable and generally it had a welcoming mood. Our waitress was covered with deeds, but it's Stoke Newington and she was on the ball with service. Very recommended."

"Really nice place be aware though that food all ordered by the same table comes at different times. So my companion had basically finished her food before mine arrived. This is how it works though so not a complaint. The food was lovely service was nice all in all enjoyed it"

"The experience started off fantastically. Charlie, our table attendant arrived promptly; was super friendly and took our drinks and main course orders quickly. (Giving requested guidance, on request . The four of us were really impressed with our restaurant find (including one very happy vegan . Yay, Wagamamas what a great place. THEN it went downhill faster than a n alpine landslide. We were left sitting at our table with finished main course plates (to be clear, some had efficiently been cleared quickly but not those who had finished after. This was the end of the honeymoon stage. We sat, and we sat and we sat. The restaurant emptied out from buzzing and full to sparse (we are talking 8.30 9.00 pm Bank Holiday Weekend. . Everything we needed required a call out to a (not busy waiter such as water, extra glass of wine; dessert menu. This was the worst bit... on an adjacent table, while we were waiting (forever for someone (maybe the enthusiastic original Charlie? to come and ask us what dessert we wanted sat some members of staff laughing happy (pleased for you eating a meal. Picture the scene. Customers sitting waiting for order for food; staff eating at next table . Most of us humans are kind and know that staff need food too but this timing was unbelievable.... it was like us, on the adjacent table, sitting there, were invisible. So now we have an almost empty restaurant; quite a lot of staff clearing up condiments or eating and us, still sitting there. What a real disappointment. Wagamamas provides delicious food; (I really enjoyed the vegan curry.. thanks chefs you saved the day but the one in Brighton needs some proper management to oversee the service. Really, this is some of the worst, disrespectful service I have received in a very long time. It started so promisingly and ended so disappointingly. PS, I asked a member of staff what went wrong and he told me that because it had gone suddenly quiet, they sent members of staff home so ended up understaffed. Wagamama no wonder you were quiet. Chefs your food is great; Managers get the staff to give the service the food providers deserve. What as waste and what a perfect example of terrible management."

"no reason to book a table. I went to lunch and was greeted well. I found the service a little strange by writing the order on her place matte and eating is not entirely brought out, just as it is done. we switched server halfway through and the second was bad. they did not even smile and we had to follow the Dessert menu several times after they had accidentally brought out the bill. there was no excuse that eating was good. the net came out quickly and was of excellent quality. that was juicy. the tears and the nudes were nice. I didn't like sesameis with dessert, and the coating was pretty chewing. the heavenly tasted like perfume, although...read more"

"Absolutely Gorgeous Meal, myself and my Wife went for a date night just to celebrate our personal achievements so nothing to serious, yet Wagamama has a balance, it 's classy yet fun and has a unique charm. Personally as a meat eater who enjoys certain plates, Wagamama has done the impossible and has dedicated 50% of its menu to Vegetarian/vegan options which is great as a whole as it is a massive social trend this new Environment Friendly eating Wagamama have achieved well in Keeping both parties (vegetarian and non-vegetarian eaters) but some items wear sacrificed to achieve this. Starters are great, mains are great, and deserts are also... You guessed it great!!"
"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!!!"
