Fresh slices of raw fish, served with tangy dipping sauces and garnished with shredded daikon and wasabi for a flavorful experience.

"What a beautiful Japanese culinary experience! I started with edamame, spinach sesame, chicken gyoza, Japanese omelette, and inari, all of which were perfect and delicious. The spicy salmon, tuna fish avocado, and shrimp tempura were also excellent. I couldn't pick a favorite because everything was so tasty with fresh seafood. Service was quick and attentive. For my main course, I had chicken katsu with rice and teriyaki chicken donburi. The katsu was perfectly fried and one of my favorites, while the donburi brought me the authentic flavors of Japan. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with great food and hospitality. I will definitely be visiting again!"

"Chinese dim sum near Little Venice in England? Sign me up this is what London is all about! Having grown up in San Francisco where you can find dim sum places throughout the city, I find myself craving a little part of home every now and then in my adopted home of Germany. Let's just say that discovering Pearl Liang during my vacation to London has been the most authentic experience so far. Admittedly, the restaurant is a bit hard to get to, though it should be convenient if you want to plan a stroll by the canals on a nice day or work in the area. I immediately noticed the tastefully posh interior as soon as I walked in. (Thankfully, it wasn't indicative of the prices! I visited Pearl Liang twice: once for a weekend lunch and once for a weekday dim sum lunch. I'd recommend coming on a weekday not only is service quicker, but you can also order the 10 item dim sum platter for £12.80, which offers classics ranging from har gow to shu mai as well as a grapefruit and mango tapioca dessert. The dim sum was just as delicious as anything I could have ordered back home in San Francisco, and, well, pretty much the same price as well. Don't skip the noodles either! We also had the braised e fu noodles with seafood. Offering a slightly spicy kick, it was full of flavor and fish to boot."

"When the sashimi course came out, a different staff member mentioned “beef croquet” while describing the dishes. This raised a red flag, so I asked another staff member about it. She reassured me that it was potato and leek croquet and definitely contained no beef, apologizing for the confusion. I felt a bit more at ease when I cut it open, as it looked like a typical croquet. However, when I started eating it, the flavor reminded me of beef, and it made me feel ill—I almost had to spit it out. My partner also tried the same dish but didn’t recall tasting any beef. Since I was cautious about beef, I was more sensitive to the taste. It's possible they fried it in the same oil; I'm not sure. We each ordered a robata and a sushi omakase, with five courses each, but many of the courses were the same, which was a bit disappointing. Because of the croquet incident and the similarities in the courses, I would say this event turned out to be a mixed experience. The food was mostly good, though some dishes were not quite up to par. While the pricing felt slightly on the high side, it is London, so I suppose that's to be expected. I was also disappointed that the staff didn’t check in on how we were enjoying the courses when taking dishes away, especially in a restaurant of this caliber. On a positive note, the cake was delicious, the sashimi was excellent, and the grilled items were good too. I did find it a bit odd that some of the items on the plate were just sauces; I wouldn't expect to drink sauce like a soup. As for the deep-fried tomato, I would have preferred chicken instead, but that’s a minor detail. I think it would be helpful for the restaurant to provide a menu card so that customers can enjoy their omakase experience, particularly if they have any allergies."

"had an extremely disappointing visit recently. me and my partner used to love this place! the food is great and the atmosphere is wonderful. however, our server completely ignored my partner when trying to order. they took my order then walked off, completely disregarding my partner. i had to awkwardly call them back over to finish ordering. they then proceeded to not put my partners order in, leaving my partner without food. i had to ask where the dish went then they rudely responded oh . we then had to wait a ridiculous amount of time for my partners food. we were in the restaurant for nearly 2 hours. wish we could have been compensated for our time as the staff offered no apology for this awful experience. its truly a shame as the food here is very tasty but i will not be returning after this."

"for the first time I will visit to thea. eating is amazing, but the service was really slow I had to ask at a series of occasions for drinks, bills etc. they have forgotten that a part of our order has put it simply in our carrying bag. the lighting is too bright, so the whole mood was not very relaxing. also a quantity fly on the wall."

"Waitress are awesome. The food though, not that good. I can feel they use great ingredients. However, the sushis in general were below average, with the seaweed mushy and chewy, the rice undercooked, and the bite size in some preparations too big. The black cod was alright, but for £58 for 200g I would expect it to be amazing. The ambience is gelidy: really quiet and not comfy. They have a great selection of sakes and drinks in general, but they only offer three options for sake by the glass, which I don't think it is the best selection. The crew, again, was the highlight very attentive and friendly, explaining the menu very well."

"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."

"Myself and my husband ate here to kick off our honeymoon. The food in Sakanas was absolutely incredible! We had the beef teriyaki and Korean steak gambi with jasmine rice, and both were gorgeous. Steak was melt in the mouth, incredible flavour and filling. Not the cheapest but well worth what you pay. Nice atmosphere, could have done with some air con as it was very hot in there! The only criticism we had was that the guy serving our table had zero customer service skills. We didn’t get a name but he was the tall server with his hair up in a top knot. No check back to see how our food was, zero conversation, came across as pretty rude and didn’t bother asking if we’d enjoyed the food. It was a shame as some of the other servers were really friendly but we didn’t tip because of his service. Otherwise, lovely meal out! Would definitely recommend for the food itself."

"hopefully not for the first time. this place was checked with a native who had heard about the grapes, it was not bad. the robbery in this case was not wrong, with siam on all flats. forget the fact that the city chester is beautiful in itself, the teppanyaki table that we sat was right next to the channel with view of the punts and boats that past the window, as the sun set the price was very reasonable for a very entertaining show with some great tasting eating at the end. due to the location of chesters and not on the maintourist path I had (unreal) assumed that the Teppanyaki cuisine would not be as good as any other I had seen. could not have been...read more"

"I visited sushi wakyo for the first time on Saturday night. eating was great, I love Japanese and hadn't found one since gone from london. I have read some good reviews online and was not disappointed. the restaurant was full, so had a good atmosphere and had the people come to take away what I think is a good sign. the black cod and mini vulcano rolls were both delicious! the sushi sheets served other tables also looked really tempting. I didn't love the huh teriyaki because it was quite dry, but that was the only food negatiw. it is a casual place, but had a few people dressed and a few younger men with parents. the toilets were ice-cold and needed to be afraid, but not a big problem, and I will come again!"

"Wonderful food as always, with finest ingredients immaculately prepared and served by Jenice and the team. Japanese is never cheap but at least with Suhinoen you can taste the quality and value. Would and regularly do recommend for lunch or dinner and no one is ever disappointed and it usually becomes a favourite of theirs too. There is bar code ordering (very Japanese) but just have a word when you get there as you can still just order from the waiting staff."

"What a lovely restaurant. Very pleasant and very good service. We had a special event to celebrate and I wanted to add a bit of a ritual to it and the staff needed no prompting and were happy to accommodate. They even made a special, complimentary desert for us. The food is exquisite, maybe a little expensive, but devine. My only gripe was that they only have one menu. An establishment of such calibre and clients should have two. One with the prices and one without. I didn't want my wife to be choosing or limiting herself due to the price. If she'd had a menu without the prices she would have been more relaxed and experimental. We SHALL be back."

"Having been satisfied with Oblix West many times, we wanted to spend my partner 's birthday indulging the Afternoon Tea at Oblix East. Unfortunately, the food quality is underwhelming the desserts are too sweet most importantly despite our booking being for 2h, we were asked to leave after 1.5h, due to change in their booking system for all new bookings from 2h to 1.5h this does not seem to be true as the website still shows all new future bookings being for 2h. 1.5h felt very rushed given the level of swetness of food. Quite a shame this side of Oblix could not maintain its standard."

"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."
"I wouldn't say I'm a sushi addict but from time to time, I do enjoy having a different lunch from the usual stuff I eat. So, I decided to try Yo Sushi today. Having arrived at 11am, much to my morning hunger, I learnt that I needed to wait a further hour before they opened. Nevertheless, it was nice to watch the staff through the window preparing the food. Before today, I was a Yo Sushi virgin but now I'm pleased to say that I no longer am. Even though I spent about £10 on three dishes before I knew it, it was a new experience. My favourite out of the three dishes I chose had to be the Chicken Yakisoba noodles (a bit like chow mein). The sushi was good (nothing really different to what I could buy at the supermarket) and the deep fried octopus balls were a bit of a joke as it mainly consisted of a mash potato consistency and hardly any octopus. The plus side, is that you can top up on some of their drinks but one cup of Japanese green tea was enough for me! Yo Sushi has excellent standards and customer service was helpful and welcoming. The decor, background music and seating layout are impressive, enhancing the trendy Japanese theme. On the other hand, I would not go mad on the food and their prices."

"This shift began in 2021 and has been rolled out across the country. Many of the features that I enjoyed at Yo! Sushi have been removed, such as the good selection of sushi, nigiri, and sashimi. Core menu items have been altered or removed altogether, and the conveyor belt no longer offers tempting options. The unlimited water service has also been discontinued, making the dining experience feel less enjoyable. I found the new Yo! Sushi to be reminiscent of fast food chain Itsu, with a focus on speed and efficiency over quality and service. The sushi offerings lack the freshness and variety that I used to enjoy, and the prices are now comparable to what I can find at a supermarket sushi bar for a fraction of the cost. While the food itself was decent and the staff were friendly when I did interact with them, the overall experience fell short of what I had come to expect from Yo! Sushi. It appears that Yo! Sushi has made a deliberate shift towards offering more hot table options in an effort to increase profitability and streamline operations. However, for those like myself who enjoyed the original concept of Yo! Sushi, this change is disappointing. If I wanted hot table dining, I could easily visit a restaurant like Wagamama that offers a better selection at a lower price. Overall, Yo! Sushi will be missed in its original form. The changes that have been made do not enhance the dining experience and ultimately detract from what used to make Yo! Sushi special."

"while we stayed at the covent garden hotel in august 2016, we had an breakfast in the brasserie max. the breakfast spread, service and menu options were absolutely fantastic and without doubt the most beautiful put together breakfast every hotel I stayed. the continental objects were fresh with a lot of choice with beautiful berries, fruit and pasture, baked and seasoned. also the daily juices and warm menu items were delicious. later in our stay we also visited the bar for an evening drink with canapés, together with a late evening tea sitting outside enjoying the street view. we enjoyed each of our experiences. a beautiful place to enjoy time together with good quality products and service."
"The super polite staff are on hand to offer recommendations for anyone that hasn't already perused the menu and pre picked what they're going for! Food was delicious and the presentation was on point. Already organising my next visit..."
