"We’ve been fans and loyal customers to Maguro for two years, that is until our last meal. We arrived late on Sunday evening and were aware that the kitchen would be closing soon, however, we were not told that we had only one chance to place our order. The waitress, instead of ensuring our order was promptly taken, decided to refill soya sauce bottles. When I approached her to place in our order before the kitchen closed, we were met with a very rude response as if we were imposing on her. The food arrived, but was not up to its usual standard. Still we asked for another item and was informed that the kitchen was closed. We were very disappointed both in the quality of the food and the poor attention of the staff. I’ll chalk this up to bring late on a Sunday evening and give it one more try, hence not giving only one star for the collective experience."

"There are many good Japanese restaurants in London (Chisou, Sakagura, Roka, Murakami, Sosharu, etc) I don't consider Kiri one of them. Kiri's menu items are priced similar to other restaurants but the standard is much lower. The quality of sushi at Kiri was poorer (sinewy and chewy), service was poor even though the restaurant wasn't busy on our visit. Our fairly light, quick meal for two (with a cocktail each and a glass of sochu each) came to £140.00. This seemed very over priced for the food and poor dining experience we had. I wouldn't recommend Kiri and I won't be returning."

"This is a real neighbourhood gem. Priced very competitively for its position on Motcombe Street, the menu is varied, priced extremely keenly and changed very frequently. The food is delicious with speedy and attentive service. The wine list sports some very decent examples at a very fair price. Sunday lunch is available for two for under £30 and this too is stunningly good value and exceptionally tasty when we tried it. We are frequent but irregular diners at Motcombes and will continue to be. Its a lovely cosy place and the downstairs dining room (weekdays only) is particularly impressive."

"the best japaners in the opposite; tasty eating, cheap, great service they can not ask for much more. I went on a Sunday afternoon in the afternoon when it was quite quiet, and had a lot of straightened (all pictured). the service was fast and friendly, and offered advices to menu points. the sushi tasted fresh, the curry was unique and tasteful, and the bark was so good I would recommend it very much. for two people with a decent amount of sushi, two meals and a drink each (a tea, a beer,) it came to £40, not bad at all. overall, they try hibagon when they are in the opposite, it is good to travel."

"Exquisite. Just loved it! We had cocktails in the bar, followed by an outstanding vegan three-course meal. The cherry and amaretto sorbet dessert was one of the best we’ve ever tasted! Humble thanks to Kevin for the warm welcome; Jay for making fab cocktails; restaurant manager Marcio for being a gracious host; and pianist Ian for playing Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and Vivaldi’s Spring so beautifully. Unrivalled style and taste... We loved everything – the grand drive up, the lush forest setting, the stained-glass windows, the bespoke cocktails, the plant-based menu. Excellent service from waiters Johnny, Keith, Kazimir, Romeo and Richard too. We’re already looking forward to our next visit."

"Chose OKA Chelsea as my friend decided on sushi. First time visiting any of the OKA restaurants. Monday night, but still fully booked so when we arrived for our 8.00pm sitting left us with a limited choice of seating at the front of the restaurant. Wide selection on the menu, food arrived promptly and was very good. Service was courteous, fast and our waiter accommodated all our requests. A little noisy for quiet conversation and not somewhere I'd think of for a romantic meal but great buzz about the place. Will definitely go again."

"Treated as a VIP as soon as we arrived. The team couldn't do enough for us. The arrival cocktails were so perfect and served with finesse. We were seated at a gorgeous window table and the menu was explained. A 7 course chefs menu was absolutely perfect. Each dish described to us with knowledge and passion! The chefs worked silently in the open kitchen, the dishes that they created were tasty and beautiful. We left with big smiles and full tummys. Well done guys for delivering a shared vision, your passion is obvious, everyone needs to come and share this experience you provide."

"After being seated, it took a while for anyone to come over to take our order even for drinks which they took at the same time as the food. Half the table had picked pizza which we were then informed were not available, so we then had to choose again. Starters were very nice. A couple of main courses not so good. The lettuce in the Caesar salad did need seem overly fresh and the lamb shoulder was extremely tough so ended up being left. It was only when someone came to clear plates that we could order more drinks."

"After making an online reservation for a table, I arrived at the restaurant only to find it was closed. Given the numerous messages in their inbox, it was clear they had not been operating for quite some time. This restaurant should be removed from listings, as it is no longer in business."

"The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere in the garden, especially in the sunny weather. I thoroughly enjoyed my main course of grilled salmon. However, the dessert was disappointing as the cherry-flavored ice cream was a bright pink color instead of the expected vanilla with cherry pieces. The service could have been improved, as the starter arrived before the wine and was left at the table."

"I was bitterly disappointed about this place. When I first heard that this place had open I was very keen to try it as I love sushi! Although the food was good the service really let's this place down. I do not exaggerate when I say it was shocking! I have never experienced such poor servicemail from a non-busy restaurant at a non-peak time on a non-peak day (Sunday to be precise). It took us over an hour for our food and random dishes were being sent to us, so they had no clue of their own system. They did give us 20% off from our bill as they knew they had let us down. However, in retrospect I think it should have been more than 20%. I will not be returning to this establishment anytime soon. I think Management have some urgent matters to see to because this is a cause for concern (no exaggeration). I do not want to imagine their service on a busy Saturday evening!"

"As always my experience was, the food was excellently presented and tasty, but also in a relatively busy evening the upper floor lacked a little ambience, not by positioning besides 3 businessmen over their obviously very important day in loud voices. We moved. The background music hardly authentic Spanish! also distracted from the entire ambience. The service was very pleasant, but typical Mediterranean at speed and attention. I mentioned in my booking comments that I celebrated a birthday of friends and that I wanted to make the evening special. I came up with gifts that were opened at the table, but no extra effort was obvious what was somewhat disappointing. The selection of wines is now limited. certainly the impressive displays around the walls has decreased and while the bottle of Rioja that we have chosen was good, the 400% brand up saw a little steep even for London. Overall, I think that the message is that this is a fabulous restaurant the design and decor are stunning, but they just have to work harder in producing the culinary experience that is something more special and authentic."

"Kipferl Islington pulled a nice surprise for a little special occasion with my friend. We came to a decorated table with a great window view; the service was very friendly and fast; the music was played loud enough for you to hear it, but not loud to the point you had to raise your voice to speak; loved the spicy Hungarian sausage so a great value dish."

"What an awesome place to eat with amazing food and excellent service ! First ever visit but certainly not the last for me and other half. As a big sushi fan, I was always weary of the idea of fusion and I truly got schooled on the beauty of fusing cuisines. The food was truly outstanding and the flavours out of this world . Looking forward to our next visit already ! Thanks to the team at Tropical Sushi who is awesome, friendly, welcoming and smiley."

"My partner and I purchased a £40 worth voucher on Groupon, it's the master selection of 56 pieces, the photos on Groupon mislead you to believe a half of the selection would be salmon/ tuna, however there's actually only 4 small pieces of salmon sushi, 2 pieces of prawn sushi, and the rest are vegetable sushi, spring onion sushi included, for both plates. Green tea wasn't good compared to other sushi restaurants we've been to. Food asides, if the chef was friendly then we wouldn't have minded to have these lower quality food. He seemed unhappy about our visit, possibly because we got the deal via Groupon. I just read some other reviews here and realised most disappointed customers purchased a voucher via Groupon. This is my first time to get a restaurant voucher on Groupon and it will unfortunately be my last. We don't live in Birmingham anymore and we drove 45 mins to this sushi place, thinking we will have an enjoyable meal, sadly we didn't. Sorry but we were truly disappointed."
