"Value for omakase is great £60/£75). The difference between 3 course and 5 course sushi omakase is an appetiser and the bowl of the day was a very salty soup with a crispy prawn legs? not sure but if you only eat the prawn it’s great). They are not too “wow” and they are not filling either, so 3 course should be fine. Main course wise, if you get the robata course, you will still get 3 sushi with skewers served on stone. If you get sushi course, you get 8 piece of sushi, 3 of which overlap with the robata course, and a pan fried tomato rice. Therefore, value wise Robata course Sushi course."

"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"

"Shimogano opened in 2013 in a parade of shops on Camden Parkway. It is named after an ancient Kyoto Shinto shrine that is a UNESCO world heritage site. The restaurant has a small dining area and bar at ground level, the main dining room being in the basement. The décor is fairly basic, and the restaurant serves a wide variety of Japanese cuisine styles, from sushi to tempura to noodles and beyond. This slightly scattergun approach is normal in London but unusual in Japan, where most restaurants specialise, sometimes to an extreme degree e.g. some restaurants serve only eel, or only tonkatsu. It must be difficult for any restaurant to really master such a wide menu. See more at:...read more"

"My family of five dined at Kouzu while on vacation. Each of us felt a very strange vibe at Kouzu. We were seated in a corner of the first level by a woman who then took our drink orders. There was only one or two other tables filled. My son ordered a soda—a coke. She said they didn’t serve any soda in the restaurant. Really? So he instead ordered a water. She proceeded to bring a large bottle of water that she opened in front of us. I asked what it was—that he wanted just a tap water in place of the soda they didn’t carry. The server then left the table. Another gentlemen came around and sort of took over. I asked him why they didn’t carry any other drinks except water—he said oh we have lemonade coke, Diet Coke etc. The next strange thing was the menu. They gave us ample time with the menu and when they came to take our order I asked what a certain thing was—he said oh that’s a priz five menu that’s different! This menu has never been passed out to us. This was a sushi restaurant and what is nice—and needed quite honestly—is a rundown of each item as it’s placed on the table, as the majority of us ordered a la carte. This didn’t happen. I will say the food itself was delicious, however, the strange vibe we got coupled with the sizable price tag would deter me from patronizing this restaurant again if given the chance."

"Michiko Sushino in Northwest London offers top-notch sushi that has been on my list of places to eat for a long time, and I finally got to visit last week. The menu is concise, making it easy to choose. We started with prawn gyozas, which were a delightful melt-in-your-mouth experience. The food was exceptional; the large salmon set included a wonderful mix of uramaki, nigiri, and sashimi. My favorite dish was the hanabi prawn tempura sushi, and I also thoroughly enjoyed the scallop sushi. Another intriguing option was the egg omelette sushi, which was quite good. The donburi was also excellent, though I found it a bit crispy in parts. To kick off our meal, I had an Aki gin tonic made with Roku gin and lemongrass infusion, which I adored, and we wrapped up with some sake. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience, and I highly recommend Michiko Sushino to everyone. If you haven't been yet, or even if you're returning, it's definitely worth a visit. The atmosphere is vibrant, and the staff is attentive and friendly. I had a fantastic time!"

"We had an incredible dining experience at this restaurant. We were able to watch the chef prepare sushi right behind us. The prices were very reasonable and we appreciated the fact that they showcase art on the walls that is available for purchase from local artists. We highly recommend supporting this local business instead of the chain restaurants on the main street. This place is fantastic!"

"I reserved the function room for a party of about 25 people. The space was perfect, beautifully arranged with its own private bar, and we were able to decorate and play our own music through the sound system. The staff were fantastic, the drink prices were very reasonable, and everyone had a fantastic time. However, there were a few issues that I want to mention for anyone else planning to book. With better communication before the event, I believe these could have been easily resolved. The venue was very helpful and responsive during the booking process, but after I confirmed my reservation, I had trouble getting responses to my emails or phone calls until the day of the event. This led to them not being able to coordinate dinner orders as I had requested. There were not enough menus for the whole party, so wait staff handed them out sporadically, leading to a very staggered food service. Some guests waited hours for their meals, which was embarrassing as the host. Additionally, the rounds of drinks that I had pre-ordered to be served as a surprise throughout the evening were announced near the beginning of the event due to an internal miscommunication. We also had to vacate the room for a downstairs booth at midnight instead of the requested 2am, which should have been clarified in advance. Despite these issues, it was still a great night with wonderful memories. I would consider booking again, but would recommend eating beforehand next time."

"I visited the Moseley restaurant for the first time today and I absolutely loved it! The waitress was friendly and extremely helpful. The service was great, and the food was prepared in a timely manner. The meal was amazing—very flavorful and delicious. The restaurant itself was clean and well-presented. I highly recommend the boneless Korean bun. I will definitely be returning! Thank you!"

"I have lived in MK for 9 years and this time I come back to visit with my wife and daughter. Japanese restaurant is a good substitute for fish and chips. We found this small restaurant in Wolverton opposite Lidl. We had the appetizers Korean Kimchi and Chinese seaweed, both are of great standards. Then we had the crispy fried dumplings and sushi rolls . My wife took the eels rice, my daughter had the beef Yaki udon, and I took the eel teriyaki. Finally we had the Japanese ice-cream. The shop is not big so we had a quiet and cosy evening. The next Sunday evening we came back with my friend Andrew's family and this time we had a birthday celebration in the next table. It was warm and lively. Didn't expect such a place in this old area."

"We were not prepared for the flavour journey Kazoku we're taking us on. Beautiful, simply. Divine. Magical. A journey through taste that we haven't experienced before. The plum wine, the serving of the food in intervals, the clinical knowledge the staff had of the food. We would like to personally commend the chefs for allowing us to try their food. We will be back, we would book a hotel just to visit again. Nothing more needs to be said, visit and divulge into what can only be described as brilliant. Congratulations, phenomenal. Thank you."
"We ordered a variety of starters, a sushi and sashimi platter, along with some individual sushi hand rolls. Everything was incredibly fresh and tasty. The drink selection was sufficient to meet most preferences. The service was both friendly and efficient, striking a pleasing balance between formal and informal. Additionally, the prices are relatively reasonable for central dining, especially considering the quality offered. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this restaurant. **Service:** Dine-in **Meal type:** Dinner **Price per person:** £50–60 **Food:** 5 **Service:** 5 **Atmosphere:** 5 **Recommended dishes:** Rolls, Sushi Platter"
"I adore Koi Sushi! They offer a variety of vegetarian options, fantastic service, and a great atmosphere. The price per person is around £30-40 for dinner. The food, service, and atmosphere all receive a perfect score of 5. I highly recommend trying the soup, vegan sushi rolls, and cucumber and avocado roll. Veggie diners will definitely enjoy their experience here."

"The staff at the restaurant were charming and accommodating. However, the quality of the food was disappointingly poor. Compared to Wagamama, it did not live up to expectations. The noodles were decent, but the starters were bland and small. The Thai green curry lacked flavor and was too watery. Considering the price, I would have anticipated a higher standard. It's a pity because the location is great and the restaurant itself is charming."

"The staff always offer a friendly welcome. Service is quick whether it’s eat in or takeaway style. Sushi we order is always fresh and flavourful. The restaurant itself is lacking style and ambiance but this is something that can be considered in the future when upgrading the styling of the space. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner"

"Went here with friends and enjoyed our dessert. We were served quickly and it was very tasty, but the music in there was a little loud which was a bit irritating. Then at the end Vikas asked if we would leave a review and use his name, which we said we would do but we didn't realise he expected us to do it straight away. We were waiting for the bill and he kept walking past us, so after 15mins we asked if we could pay as we were waiting to leave. He asked us if we had left a review yet, of which we were honest and said we hadn't but would later (I don't want to be sitting on my phone when I have company). It was quite uncomfortable that it seemed we were expected to leave a review in order to leave. That spoilt the experience for me and puts me off going back"
