"I usually associate the London Bridge area with the hordes that visit the food stalls on the weekend only but a visit to Borough Market one wet Saturday evening shows that the crowds haven't dissipated. My original plan of a visit to Brindisa is blown out the water (I'm far too hungry to wait for a table) and so we wander down to Feng Sushi. The interior is dark and atmospheric and looks warming on a cold winter's eve. There's a seasonal menu at play and while we've largely ordered from the main, we are tempted by the sesame tofu with mushroom sauce and it is fantastic. I would have appreciated some advice on how to eat it as we are confused by whether to use the sauce as a dip or a soup to soak the tofu in. The tofu is crunchy on the outside and firm on the inside and the sauce is more of a broth with mushrooms and mixed vegetables but nevertheless a tasty accompaniment. Our salmon sashimi is fresh, but does have some significant fatty stripes through it. It's a bit off putting. We've also got a mixed platter with salmon tuna sashimi, salmon tuna nigiri, mock duck in pancakes and vege tempura. Nothing out of the ordinary. We also had a soft shell crab roll, which again was only average. The crab was cold and clearly straight from the fridge and while it was assembled neatly, there was no aromatic flavours of the crab coming through. We ended the meal with a couple of scoops of ice cream chocolate with wasabi and black sesame. The wasabi overpowered the senses in the chocolate ice cream (as wasabi does) but the black sesame ice cream was sensational. Overall, I liked the food, but Feng Sushi commands a premium over the other sushi chains that I felt was undeserved. Itsu or Wasabi both do excellent and fresh sushi and sashimi at a lower price (if not quite the same ambience) and we left feeling a little unsatisfied. Perhaps I should have waited for my table of tapas after all."

"Good morning. we came to dinner on Saturday night. table for 5 booked at 8 o'clock. we came at 8.05 to say that our table was ready, and the people were sitting in it. we were then sent into the bar to get a drink while we waited for our table. we have. at which point we were not served. a gentleman at the bar came to us and asked us if we were served and we said we were not waiting. he then went away, instead of serving us to go and serving someone else saw someone he knew being a cucumber. another lady (possibly the manager) came and asked us if we were served. we have said no again and said that we are still waiting. she said we were standing the "wrong side of the sign". barservice was so, not so. We answered and said that we were sent from her colleagues to the bar, because our table was not ready. she was badly tempered and made us clear the problem. then she continued to serve our drinks. but instead of serving them, let us pour our own drinks out of the bottles for our big tom gin and tonic etc. it is not a great service and not the one to treat their customers, especially because we were first sent to the bar. it was not our fault that our table was not ready because they had given it to some other people, and we do not expect that we are treated by a badly temperatured employee when 5 of us have eaten there and their service is added to the final bill. please let me know how they will be correct. we had a good meal at the end, it was just a scandal, how everything started and this part needs something work."
