"If this was my first Brazilian Steakhouse experience, I wouldn 't go to another one again. The self service bar was a mixed bag, some dishes were good, such as the pork and black bean dish. There was a bit of an over reliance on pre grated parmesan that made dishes dry. The restaurant advertised a green card/ red card service but didn 't seem to actually have that. Despite this, service was fairly regular. The restaurant seems to heavily favour filler meats, so either low quality cuts of beef (the beef rib I had a lot of, which tasted very greasy) or meats you would not go to a steakhouse for chicken thighs, sausages, pork ribs etc. A lot of the sirloin offered was exceptionally fatty and one serving I was given didn 't actually have any meat on it. Waiters also did a poor job of explaining what we were having and seemed very inexperienced in some cases. Drinks were poor, I only had a pepsi and it was dropped on me (and not cleaned up) so there was a puddle around the table. Some Brazilian steakhouses offer bottomless drinks to complement the style of food this place does not, and the prices are high for a serving size of a can of pepsi max. We were offered dessert, I didn 't know what the dishes were or that dessert was even available that should be communicated better. They looked good, however I declined. This place also adds to your bill a Discretionary 12.5% surcharge without letting you know. I asked the waiter what this charge was for and he literally said nothing, even when repeating the question. I guess it 's just a tip, and I still paid it be aware of this practice though as you are still asked to add a tip to your bill."

"Christmas deserves a cracking night out, great company, scummy food, luscious drinks and laughs. This night started at the nearby Enigma Quests Escape room followed up by this Argentinean steakhouse. Initially we were surprised by the intimacy of the restaurant, but this made it more personal so not a problem. Starters of Empanadas (best starter) and also Grilled Octopus, which was unfortunately more chewy than I prefer, so maybe slightly over cooked, still great flavour though. Main courses of 350g Rump. 250g fillet and 400g churrasco Marinated fillet which were all cooked to perfection and amazingly delicious, yum!! Sauces of Red chimichurri, green chimichurri and peppercorn, great again. Sides of sauteed mushrooms (lovely), creamed spinach (oh yes, yummy). cowboy beans and 'hand cut ' chips, it is these chips that the 4 of us took note of. For hand cut chips, they looked too thin, more akin to fries and when served, contained small pieces of chips, very similar to when you empty a bought, bag of ready made chips. They were most certainly not thick cut, triple cooked chips you get in other up market steak houses. Puddings of Affogato very nice, Doulce de leche cheesecake unfortunately this wasn 't liked, it seemed bland, sticky toffee with vanilla ice cream had no flavour, not enough sauce, and chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream great texture very nice. The meal was accompanied by 2 bottles water, Gin lemonade and 2 bottles Recoleta Malbec. Total of £469 A point of note, is that this being a Saturday night within the 'City ' this restaurant was very quiet and so lacking some atmosphere, I 'm sure that this must be a saturday thing and during the week its probably buzzing."

"After previous great time at Putney branch tried the Queensway branch to be very highly disappointment. Had to ask the person checking up on our table whether everything is ok to check whether the team is serving the meat as they were very lacklustre and didn’t make any attempt to service the diners. Why do one have to ask for the staff to come to the table to serve the meat? One of the servers was constantly sniffling and pulling up his nose which is definitely signs to being unwell. Don’t they do their due dilligence to ensure the health and safety of the guest as well as other staff? Ordered red wine and was given rose how could anyone get this wrong? Using the salad bar there’s constantly staff filling take away orders in the take away containers which results guests having to wait for them to finish. Ordered dessert and it never arrived after 25min of waiting for it called the person that took our order to query what’s happening. He was clueless and asked us didn’t it arrive? About 4 staff just standing around close to the entrance and who knows everyone just standing around in the kitchen area? They then offered free dessert which we declined as the experience was already soured beyond reconciliation. Not looking for freebies or handouts and just paid up leaving without dessert as to just get out of the place. Very bad experience, definitely won’t recommend and shall avoid in future."

"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."
