"The atmosphere is very buzzy and lively, although this made it a tad too noisy at times to have a conversation. The staff were very friendly, service was quick, and if seated in the right place as we were, you can see all the goings on in the kitchen: We shared starters and mains (one each) and chose paneer chilli (indian cottage cheese [their description not mine] with onions, peppers and chilli sauce), spicy papaya salad (papaya, tomatoes, carrots, green beans and peanuts in a thai dressing) and beef salad (pan seared beef with carrots, onions, cucumber, mint and peppers). They were all quite spicy, as the name suggests. The paneer chilli was my favourite as it was the most...read more"

"Checked this place out with one of my friends after a tiring day exploring the city and getting rained on lots. Super lovely and laidback yet also really attentive staff. Really appreciated the dedicated vegan menu as it makes it much easier to look through wished the main ingredients were listed on the menu, as some dish titles were a little vague and I wasn't sure what to order! Though I asked one of the waiters and he was really helpful and could list off the bat what was in the dishes, so it wasn't too much trouble. I ended up ordering the vegan Wee Buddha curry. The portion sizes were massive and that alone justified the price point in my opinion, it took me like over an hour to finish my dish. Even moreso though, the food tasted wonderful the veggies were super fresh and flavourful, and the rice had that perfect sticky texture that restaurants don't always get right. The food was piping hot when it arrived and I had to let it cool for quite a while, which tends to be a fairly reliable indicator of quality, in my experience at least and it was true on this occasion for sure. We also didn't have to wait very long at all for our food either. Also worth a mention, the vibe and decor of the place is really nice relaxing! And not usually a fan of music in the background, but it was an appropriate volume and whoever was on playlist duty was working overtime because the songs slapped, it was tune after tune. Overall, I'm pretty glad I sorted out where we'd eat in advance of our trip, as this place didn't tend to come up on any suggested Maps searches or in recommendations I was looking at for veggie/vegan food. Which I'm really surprised about given how good it is, and the really decent number of dishes on offer. Underrated I guess? Hope it gets some more hype! <3"

"I finally visited this little noodle bar that had been on my list for a while now . Nestled in the bustling streets of the city, this hidden gem proved to be a delightful surprise. The menu featured a delectable array of Asian delights, and I couldn't resist ordering a trio of dishes that I'd been longing to savor. The first bite of the Nasi Goreng took my taste buds on a whirlwind journey of flavours ! It was a burst of Indonesian authenticity on my palate. Next up, the Singapore style vermicelli noodles and oh, what a treat they were! Delicately stir fried, they boasted a harmonious blend of sweet and savory flavors, interspersed with succulent shrimp and fresh vegetables. The portion size was generous, ensuring that I savored every bite until the very last noodle. To complete my feast, I ordered the salt pepper chicken wings, and they turned out to be a revelation. The wings were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. Each bite offered an addictive blend of saltiness and a hint of spice, making them an absolute must try for any chicken wing enthusiast. The service was impeccable. The staff members were attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the dishes they served, which added an extra layer of authenticity to the experience. One of the staff member suggested we try the Singapore style vermicelli and it was a banger ! In summary, this charming noodle bar exceeded my expectations in every way. It's the perfect spot for those seeking an intimate dining experience and an explosion of Asian flavors. If you're a fan of Nasi Goreng, Singapore style vermicelli noodles, and salt pepper chicken wings, you simply can't afford to miss this hidden gem. I left the restaurant with a heart full of satisfaction and a belly full of unforgettable flavors. I can't wait to return and explore more of their tantalizing menu. Don't hesitate to visit; it's an experience worth savoring! You get a 10% student discount if you pay in cash ! :"

"We had a great time at this restaurant! The food was quite delicious, with an interesting selection of pan-Asian dishes. The starters were especially tasty. While the service was a bit slow when it came to taking orders, once our order was in, the food arrived quickly. However, our drink orders seemed to take a long time to come out. The staff were friendly, and we had a pleasant evening overall. We would recommend this place."

"Casual dinner with my wife on a Wednesday evening. The place is small and feels a bit crammed. I don’t think this is a place you come to because its ambience but the food quality and value for money. Had one starter, three dim sum and one chow mein (main) for my wife and I. We had to take away most of the main dish as we were already full. I have no issue having to order via an app. However, it could be improved in two ways: 1. clearly explaining what the symbols displayed next to the dishes mean (e.g. halal) 2. ensuring payment works first time and removing payment options that don’t work (e.g. Apple Pay and Google Pay)"

"The food was served promptly, and the service was excellent. The bento box with side dishes allowed for a variety of flavors to be sampled. There were plenty of vegan options available, including vegan mochi for dessert. Although I didn't try the dessert or any of their drinks this time, I plan to do so next time. The music, which I believe was J-Pop, added to the overall enjoyable dining experience."

"Probably one of the most disappointing Japanese meals I have ever had. Since I lived in Japan for 20 years, I know what good Japanese food is supposed to be like. The tori karaage almost had no chicken in it and was mostly skin, which I have never seen before. Is this a money-saving measure? Shockingly price at almost eight pounds. Their Japanese sausages while authentic were way too small and overpriced. If you still want to go to Tosa, I would suggest getting the nasu dengaku, which was quite good, and perhaps some yakitori (although this too is overpriced . But the most disappointing part of my Tosa experience started before I even went there. When I called to book a table, I was greeted in a rude manner by the Japanese lady who took my call. Moreover, this same woman was rude when I was in the restaurant. (If you must go to Tosa, talk to the other staff, who are much friendlier. One of the best things about going to a Japanese restaurant outside of Japan is to experience the great service that you would normally receive at many restaurants at Japan, so in this respect Tosa fell far short of my expectations. If you are in west London and have a hankering for Japanese food, go to Kiraku, where the service is far better, even though the menu may currently be less extensive."

"Sapporo is a full experience. The theatrical and culinary skills of the chefs make it interactive and humorous. Perfect for any age or occasion I use it when hosting family and friends due to it being rare. The menu can be a little confusing with a perception of what you order arrives in a form that you would not expect, I suggest that, if in doubt, ask a staff member, not always easy as they work fast and require an effort to stop."

"Walked in to see a footy game on TNT 1 (which means it the main game of the night) They 've got the game on TNT 2 on. I said can you put my game on even just one screen upstairs in the corner out the way. This kid said There 's a lot of people asking for a lot of games I looked round, this other game was on every single telly in the whole place which was rammed. NOT ONE person watching the telly, they 're all drinking eating and chatting. After waiting 10 minutes and being told to hang tight I go downstairs again to complain and they say maybe it 's not working. They pointed at some other kid who apparently is the manageress and said she 's been down there trying to fix it! She was stood chatting, just smirked at me. I asked for a refund on the bottle of overpriced wine I deliberately didnt open as I had doubts, nope. You pay peanuts you get monkeys. Never thought much of the place anyway but to have that many screens and not give any thought to what sports are on is useless. Avoid, unless you 're a student who isnt really into sports and likes **** food"

"The venue is lovely, the music was great and the food was exceptional, however we had a few issues with the service. Firstly, our waiter disappeared after bringing us some of our food and never came back. When I queried it with another member of staff (after waving wildly several times at other staff), he laughed and said oh well you have a new one now . For the prices you pay in a premium venue, this is not good enough. I would have expected a handover before he left. I made him reduce the standard tip from 15% to less than that, as I was not impressed. Secondly, he failed to mention that if you order 4 or 5 things, they all come at the same time and don 't fit on the table, so they nearly knocked our wine off the table trying to squeeze everything in. I would have ordered in batches of 2-3 things if I had been alerted. Lastly, the chairs are also extremely uncomfortable, but when I asked for a small cushion, they didn 't have anything available."

"super stuffed after a massive everything you can eat sushi festival. While all that they can eat is limited to 6 passages (unlimited repetitions) all 8 hot dishes (limited rounds), I must admit that the portions are fully equitable and we manage 3 passages 8 hot dishes between us 3. the sashimi was fresh and sushi was well maintained. I'll go back next time I need my sushi binding!"

"After living in the area for a while, I had a meal here by chance. I am back regularly once a week now. The staff is amazing, the food delicious and they make you feel like you are visiting a family. I can see that most people visiting are repeated customers and that is the best praise they can get. One of the best chowders in Dublin. Lamb shank with perfect mash peas. The burger you will love. Pizzas with a perfect base. My favourite lasagna. Bruschetta that is served as a starter but can be a meal on its own. Bread baked in-house, that reminds me of one my mother made. Steak made to your order with a side of vegetables that is always cooked perfectly. I tried most of the menu (lamb shank is my choice on most visits) and love it all. "

"Itsu in Notting Hill Gate has consistently met expectations, both before, during, and after the Covid-19 pandemic. The restaurant maintains a comfortable temperature, staying cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The establishment is clean, well-decorated, and staffed with professional employees. The shelves are always neatly arranged, service is quick, and the decor is inviting. As for the food, the Mochi cheesecake is a standout dish, with a delicate blend of the cheesecake alongside the soft, chewy Mochi casing. It is not overly chewy, making it easy to cut with a fork if desired. The Beauty smoothie, while featuring a nice blend of fruits, could benefit from a bit more strawberry to enhance the flavor. Overall, the smoothie is satisfying and ideal for a hot day."

"The food took a very long time to arrive. The portion sizes were small. The food tasted ok but was not worth the high price (see below , especially since there's lots of cheap, good food in Leather Lane. The menu prices are misleading; it doesn't include the mandatory 12.5% tip. It's in very small print at the bottom of the menu and claims to be discretionary, but it's not they add it on when you pay without asking and yet their payment device still asks if you want to leave a tip !!! So, the cheapest main course listed as £17.50 actually costs £19.69. Also, they brought me chips with my meal which i hadn't ordered (so i assumed was included in the meal, so I ate them but later charged me £6.17 for them ! (Listed as £5.50 on the menu. The food was nicer and better value when this was a Thai pub. I won't be going back. My advice get some food in Leather Lane instead."
