"Really not a place to shout about to actual Japanese people or those with a taste for haute cuisine/ genuine sushi, but the absolute go to for those who are ravenously hungry and have half an hour between meetings to fuel up.It 's décor is clear and simple; plastic chairs and glass walls making it a perfect people-watching position as you inhale your noodles or maki.Prices border reasonable; you 're looking at an average of £5 for a boxset or hot plate. Whilst I do love 'real ' sushi, I also enjoy a bit of junk which pretends to be healthy; their sweet and sour chicken contains enough sugar for your head to fall off, and whilst their noodles might be warming and hearty, they also strike a notch or two thousand on your calorie allowance.That being said, you can enjoy some genuine Japanese products, such as their bubble tea, mocha (soft, sweet balls of glutinous rice of an almost gooey consistency) and an array of nigiri. The selection is largely salmon based, with a few funky egg/tuna/shrimp combos also on offer.Generally not very Japanese, but I 'd say for those who want to like sushi (but aren 't quite brave enough for 'raw fish slabs ', this is a good starting point). For those feeling flush but want a similar kind of thing (with less carbs), head to Itsu. For those that enjoy feeling tentacles writhing in their throats, keep walking straight to a high end sushi bar, and don 't look back."

"Mugen has hands down the best Japanese food in London. Fresh, beautifully prepared, and consistently delicious. We’ve been several times and the quality never disappoints. However, the service this time was shockingly poor and genuinely unpleasant. There seems to be only one staff member fluent in English, an Indian runner who initially greeted us warmly, remembering us from a previous visit. Unfortunately, a mistake was made with our order (we asked for a salmon roll and received a salmon bowl instead), and when we tried to clarify, the same staff member became extremely aggressive. He began loudly arguing with us, insisting we had ordered the wrong item and refusing to change it. It escalated to the point where he was shouting at our table and wouldn’t allow us to correct the order — it was uncomfortable and humiliating. Despite the poor handling, we chose to keep the service charge out of respect for the rest of the team, who were professional. But the lack of apology and the awkward attempt to joke with us on the way out made the situation worse. We love the food and would return — but next time, we’ll ask to be served by someone else. This kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable and needs to be addressed. David.
