"During our trip to Japan last year, we dined at Kiri and were thoroughly impressed by the authentic flavors. The restaurant's label as an Izakaya primarily reflected its ambience and decor, rather than its menu. However, this was insignificant as the food was exceptional. We opted for the tasting menu with Sake Pairing, which was priced at a reasonable £60 per person. We were elated by this fantastic discovery and are eager to return for another memorable dining experience."

"I have been a lifelong fan of Japanese cuisine and went most recently went to Tokyo in 2019. Chisou stands above the crowd of all fine dining Japanese restaurants I've been to outside Japan. My mum had been there one time prior and had an...amazing experience, my father and I both went for the first time tonight with her. The menu is a complex and interesting overview of all Japanese cuisine highlights, including a comprehensive menu of Sushi/Sashimi, Noodles (Udon/Soba), Teriyaki/Tempura, and some delightful takes on the traditional izakaya offering. They also offer an extensive sake menu, with some very unique items that complement whatever you choose to order. Beyond their superbly cultivated menu, the service at Chisou can only be described as exceptional. The entire staff truly care if you are having a good time, and are happily there to provide advice on guiding you through your meal. My dad is not a huge fan of raw seafood, and the sushi chef took an interest in challenging his hesitations- he offered us an incredible smoked mackerel as an amuse-bouche to test if my dad would like it, and he did. We ordered a number of starters- the gyoza, fried oysters, uni, and chuuka seaweed salad- all were superb. I was extremely impressed at the freshness and quality of the ingredients, as well as the beauty and care with presentation. For his main, my dad ordered the tofu steak, which was the most velvety and flavourful tofu we have had outside of our favourite place in Tokyo (called I <3 Gyoza). My mum and I had the sashimi omekase for 2, and the consideration from the chef was beyond exceptional. He asked us our preferences, my mum is a fan of ami ebi, I love tako and ika- all 3 were of the highest quality I've experienced. He also took a great interest in how we were enjoying things and continually provided advice or information about what we were eating. The waiting staff was also extremely caring and fun to speak with, and really were happy to see that we enjoyed ourselves. The manager also gave us a wonderful recommendation of an undistilled sake to go with our desserts, that was simply fabulous. Chisou is not just truly fantastic dining in terms of quality of food and service, but a theatrical experience that will make you feel as if you've teleported from London right into a Japanese izakaya. We have already booked a reservation to go back tomorrow and I cannot wait."

"Everything was just not up to standard.. They were sold out in there to special breads when we came. We waited for too long both with drinks and mains. for drinks (we got our starters before they came, and there were two bartenders in the bar not doing anything else than talking to each other) and about for mains. We got some pita bread in compensation. And we didnât like out of three dips to it. Our waitress were so arrogant and didnât even explained the concept or asked about if we liked the food. Besides that there were so many different waitresses there came to our table and they didnât talked together because they asked us the same questions. All in all not value for money a bad experience and we wouldnât come back."

"A lovely pub, with a great and friendly team. But over the last 12 18 months the room seems less busy and I suspect that has a lot to do with the food and drink. A short but nice wine list, the rest of the drinks list seems shorter and more limited. But it is the food menu that has changed drastically. The Crooked Well was a great 'gastro ' pub, with excellent food. It was not the cheapest but generally always very good. Now the menu reads like a slightly enthusiastic home cook has put it together, and the general quality is very average. Perhaps we were spoilt beforehand, but it seems like a huge step down. Still a nice place, but perhaps for a Sunday lunch or snack rather than a nice meal with friends."

"Another outstanding meal at Chisou! It's the first time we've visited the new location and we're really impressed: it feels lighter and more airy than the previous Mayfair location. Service as ever was outstanding and the food itself was absolutely delicious. Very highly recommended."

"It was better than any food I had in England. It was 48 pounds of beef Wellington, and the Wellington meat was so tender, the mushroom flavor was amazing, and the sauce was perfect, not too salty or strong. The bread served with the potatoes is also a bit hard, but it goes very well together. I drank the recommended wine and it went very well with Wellington. The Beef Wellington season at nearby Kerridge's Bar Grill was over, so the chef there recommended it, and I'm sure the chef would cook high-quality food, too. The food and service here were better than any restaurant I've experienced in London. I hope you stop by and experience Wellington and pie."

"We are not adventurous eaters and our waitress was very pleasant and patient with us explaining what was in the dishes, how they were cooked etc. We sat in a booth, nice and private so we could have a conversation. An appetizer was brought out for us to nibble on, flatbread, dip and carrot and celery sticks, while waiting for our food which came in a timely manner. We both chose avocado and prawns as a starter, followed by two different lamb dishes, both came piping hot and nicely presented. The portions are large! It was my wife's birthday and the staff placed a lit candle in her piece of cheesecake and sang Happy Birthday, what a lovely touch."

"This used to be a wonderful family restaurant with excellent food and a cosy ambience, so we were disappointed when some years ago it downsized to a smaller separate adjoining building and sublet the original restaurant area to other businesses. However, in the smaller Genzo restaurant, the good food and warm family atmosphere remained. We booked Genzo online recently, only to find on arrival that the family restaurant was closed down. There was a notice in the window asking customers to go next door to the glitzy, unattractive sublet business, which has an uninviting atmosphere and decor, is usually empty, has different staff and no doubt a different chef. This is not the friendly, warm place with terrific food which it used to be when run by the family. When we did try the sublet business several years ago not knowing it was no longer the same Genzo Greek the service was terrible and the food below standard. This is the second sublet business to take over, but they apparently don't understand why Genzo was so successful and have changed everything that its customers valued, turning it into just one more modern characterless place to eat rather ordinary food. This is a great shame."

"This restaurant is a hidden gem. The service was excellent as we were attended to by the same gentleman throughout our meal. He was softly spoken and not intrusive, yet very attentive to our needs. He promptly refilled our drinks and offered us additional cutlery without us having to ask. The food exceeded our initial expectations, especially considering the reasonable prices of £8-15 for a main course."

"I'm at a loss for words. It could be amazing. I had made a reservation, but then they called to tell me they were closed. I appreciate the heads up, but it would be preferable if they didn't advertise as open when they're not."

"Firstly Little Istanbul has changed owners a few months back and is now called the NAR Meze Grill. The restaurant has had a face lift and the food and service are now excellent. This means that all previous reviews for Little Istanbul no longer apply, including some of the more negative comments. I had a late Sunday lunch with a girlfriend, we enjoyed a very pleasant bottle of chilled Pinot Rose before tucking in to starters and mains. As neither of use eat meat we ordered dishes from the good vegetarian selection but there is also a wide choice of fish and meat. Too full for a pudding."

"Mediocrity. It 's not as bad as it seems when it comes to sushi in London. Just had Tokiya Sushi and have to say: why are resturants so cheap with their fish when making maki here? All I 'm asking for is equal parts fish/veggie to rice, not even more fish than rice like I 'd find in the US but this seems like a difficult enough ask. On the upside, their sushi is yum yum yummie, and pretty cheap, affordable by all who have about 10-15 quid to spend on a dinner, but maki, although good, has such a small amount of the fish you order in it, it doesn 't even make sense to order them over the sushi unless you really don 't like fish. Not so good point #2 My dinner-mate got a sushi regular which was 6 pieces of sushi and 5 pieces of maki. What they didn 't state was that maki means the cheapest thing possible which turned out to be a cucumber roll with not even a bit of fish in the roll in sight. Obviously if people are ordering a sushi plate, they aren 't vegetarians and generally will expect SOME fish in their maki! End diagnosis, would order take away from (i forgot to mention there is a 10 pound per person rule even though most of their entrees are under 10 pounds and oh yeah it DOESN 'T include drinks) especially the sushi, but don 't go by the photo here, you are lucky if the maki comes with half that much filling, albeit they are still tasty if unsatisfactory. sushi pretty good, maki order take away from Tsunami just down the other way."

"We arrived at 7:30pm to an empty restaurant and we were greeted by a polite gentleman. We had a drink and ordered our food. The food was very nice but I do feel that as we were the only people in the restaurant that it came very quickly and we were in danger of finishing our meal before we had finished our drinks. Overall we had a lovely evening and after a group of people entered we felt more at ease and less self conscious."

"lso unique with options that I haven't seen at other Japanese restaurants. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes, which enhanced my dining experience. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place for a date night or a meal with friends. I highly recommend trying the sushi platter, it was fresh and delicious. Overall, a fantastic dining experience and I will definitely be returning."
