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

"I used to frequent the Queen Street branch of this restaurant a few years ago before the pandemic, visiting multiple times a week. The food was always fresh, tasty, and plentiful. However, after visiting twice in recent months, I am greatly disappointed. The teriyaki chicken now tastes more like boiled chicken with a sauce poured on top, and the portions of meat are small. I also ordered karaage on my second visit, but when asked about my rice and vegetable preferences, it wasn't followed through on. The portions were lackluster, and the sauce resembled a tasteless, clear glue. It felt like a throwback to old Asian takeaways with MSG from the 80s. It's a shame that the quality has declined so much, but despite this, people still seem willing to wait in line. I used to miss this place when I went to our suburban kokoru chain, but even that offers tastier and better value food than this restaurant."

"Consistently shocking service. I feel like the person who works there has a future as a doctor's surgery receptionist, they do as much as possible to prevent you ordering. They try and get you to use a machine to order, which often doesn't work, and if you mention it you get scowled at. They seem unaware of how to fix it. They are extremely rude when you arrive and if you're lucky enough to get their attention they treat you as an inconvenience, manners don't exist. They are obviously focused on Deliveroo rather than walk ins for lunch. Sadly it's nice enough sushi (albeit a very confusing menu that makes no sense on the ordering machine) but the service is rude and confusing. This has happened on too many occasions now and I won't be returning."

"Open every day for lunch and dinner, this hard working Japanese restaurant deserves every ounce of the success it has. The food here is delicious, colourful, and relatively nutritious, while the setting is fairly simple, clean and informal with long tables and benches often shared with neighbouring groups. On the menu there's a choice of authentic Bento Boxes, Ramen, Yakisoba udon, Sashimi, Rice Gohan and various salads and side dishes pretty much everything you'd expect from a Japanese restaurant in the UK. With Bento Boxes from about £10 upwards, and Ramen from about £7, it's very reasonably priced as Japanese restaurants go. The only thing they don't do well is desserts but that's a common theme across all Japanese restaurants I've been to in the UK with Tenkaichi offering just one choice: a Japanese red bean pancake roll served with a plum sauce. It has firmly established itself as one of Cardiff's best and most reasonably priced Japanese restaurants, and as a result is hugely popular at lunchtimes as well as in the evenings so you may have to wait a short while for a seat at times. They also have a separate (but similar) takeaway menu."

"The takeaway sushi was quite good - the sashimi tasted fresh! The order included 4 small maki rolls, 4 large pieces of salmon and tuna nigiri, and 4 pieces of sashimi."

"This is the third time visiting a different Kokoro. It is the first time where they wouldn't customise options even though we were the only ones in there. Disappointing as all the other Kokoros had before and we could see someone making up the sushi so it isn't like anyone wasn't available. This happened the second time visiting this Kokoro yesterday, the first time we went at lunch time and ordered a Pumpkin Katsu Curry and a Chicken Katsu Curry, we were very surprised at how much Pumpkin and Chicken we got as other places like Yo Sushi for example only give you a small amount. The down side was that I felt like the curry had a bit of a strange after taste, I have tried a lot of katsu Currys and none of them had this weird taste. A lot of options and it was clean which is why I am giving it 3 stars."

"best seafood dishes I ever tasted, this is another level restaurant where food tastes like nowhere else. the service is also amazing, a service and a treatment that they will not get anywhere in london. a perfect place for romantic dinners, birthday parties or business meetings, it is worth every penny they spend."

"Fab sushi, really high quality. Pretty safe and traditional in your options. We got the mixed platter for lunch which filled us both up (5 pieces each). Only reason for the 4 is that we realised on the way out that there was s lunchtime offer on for £2 a plate and no one thought to notify us when ordering so would of effectively got to choose what we wanted to saved a tenner."

"as always has made it fun... the schnitzel top notch .... but for example for an salat with a few pekan nuts 18 euro.... is very tasty ...for water 11 euro per bottle more expensive than in 2 stars michelin restaurants... I told the waiter 25 euro drinking money... and it was calculated 25 euro for expenses and 25 euro service charge ...no warning what that should be. 2 glasses wein were simply gifted and calculated despite the announcement of my wife that she wanted nix more...."

"I’ve not been to a Wagamama for a few years but if this place is a yardstick it has really gone down hill! The south Asian serving staff seem more interested in staring at customers than actually serving and our waitress has no idea on how to serve food! It’s simply thrown down at the end of the table and help yourself ! Appalling really. Katsu curry was decent … if you like sauce that tasted like it was microwaved from a tescos ready meal . Really enjoyed the chicken katsu was crispy. First meal I’ve had when I don’t want to pay the service charge it was that bad!"

"the restaurant was nice and the food was good. but there was a waitress that was not very pleasant with us. I think her name was maria claudia. we arrived at the restaurant 45 minutes before our booking and asked if we could sit earlier. there was a warmer who told us to go in and choose a table, but I wanted to check with the waitress first. I asked maria claudia, and she said, without checking anything and rudely, that they have kept and cannot put us before our reserved time. although the restaurant was completely empty up to two tables. that has not disturbed us, as we knew that our booking was still 45 minutes away, and it could actually make reservations before us. We sat but exactly opposite the restaurant and could see the whole restaurant and tables. we waited 45 minutes, and during this time only one or two tables were used and the rest was all empty. but we went to our reserved time. after visiting the menu we had few asking for the waitress, so we called maria claudia. she seemed to answer as if she really didn't want to answer our questions, she always looked away and rolled the eyes here. we asked them about an article in the menu, if it can be exchanged for something else, they answered no I don't think that 's what's on the menu, so I asked them not think, or are they safe? she said I don't think we can do it. So I asked her politely to check with the cook, she agreed, but never came back to inform us. we were then served by two other waitresses who were both very professional and nice."

"Good selection of vegan food, their hot food is especially nice! Their sushi range however is limited and tastes nowhere near as good as yo sushi. Also quite expensive My recommendation is to go half an hour before closing as all sushi is half price!"

"Good quality sushi in this local Japanese sushi joint. Everyone who worked there was Japanese and the food quality was very good. A few points which I found quite annoying: 1. There is a minimum spend per person. Now we were over the minimum spend but there was something awkward about having to spend a certain amount on food. The minimum spend of £55 each doesn’t include alcohol or drinks. 2. The rolls on the menu should be split into maki or any other variety of rolls. It wasn’t clear what kind of rolls were being sold. Service was very good and the experience was good overall but I think there are some areas of improvident"

"Oh my goodness, the food at this restaurant was exceptional! We started with the prawn noodle dish to share as a starter, followed by half a lobster and chips each for our main course. For dessert, we enjoyed some delicious doughnuts. We also tried a couple of cocktails which were fantastic. The staff were incredibly helpful and even helped us find a taxi when we couldn't get through to any numbers. Despite its unassuming exterior, I would highly recommend booking in advance as the restaurant was quite busy on a Tuesday evening when we arrived at 5pm. The quality of the food and service was on par with Michelin-starred restaurants. I would even travel from London just to have dinner here. I can't praise this place enough - we only have a few more days here, but we will definitely be coming back before we leave. Food: 5, Service: 5, Atmosphere: 5."

"I highly recommend this place! It's very kid-friendly, with plenty of space for children to get involved in the BBQ cooking. The service was excellent as well. We dined for dinner, and the cost per person was around £50–60. Overall, I would rate the food a 5, the service a 4, and the atmosphere a 4. Some recommended dishes include the seafood, the 16-piece nigiri sushi platter, and the wagyu chef's special set."

"this small, family-run Japanese restaurant is a hidden gem. the service is imperfect, but very polite to add the charm of the place. the menu is relatiw classic with taking some scrub rolls. one is the house roll (educated), which contains a lot of fish and is quite large cut. the actual excerpt was the horse mackerel sashimi (figurative). beautifully presented and extremely fresh and delicious! I would recommend this place to anyone who is close to the opposite and wants a high-quality No-Frills Japanese meal."

"I must have been for sure very unlucky, but this is the restaurant where I ate probably the worst two dishes in my life. In both cases, the two courses disappeared under a prevailing flavour, erasing all the remaining ingredients. As an appetizer we got the cheviche combination that was basically raw fish fully covered by tons of red hot pepper: you could easily take away all the fish in the dish and the taste would remain exactly the same. As a main course we had a spicy tuna poke where all the wonderful fresh ingredients (tuna, rice, green peas, carrots and more) were hidden behind a blanket of citrus making the whole bowl, citrus apart, totally tasteless: like chewing a huge candy. The gourmet experience was so devastating to obliterate the nice atmosphere of the venue, the service, nice and professional (including nicely receiving appalling feedback from unhappy clients), and everything pleasant around: not even the efforts of the team could justify the chef's disaster tonight. I've been providing feedback on restaurants and hotels from all over the world on this website for years, and I am going for a 1/5 evaluation with no hesitation or regret."

"That was an amazing experience! It was our first visit, and we went with the mother-daughter combo, trying the Beginner Choirstick. Annabelle was fantastic! She made excellent recommendations, and the entire experience felt wonderful. She offered us some extra samples to try, which we really appreciated. She was incredibly kind to my daughter, and we can’t wait to come back with the rest of the family for a long visit! The ambiance is simply beautiful; we sat on comfy woven pillows for an authentic touch. After indulging in the delicious sushi, she kindly packed up our leftovers, but we never felt rushed at any point."

"One way to determine just how good and authentic a Japanese restaurant is, is how popular it is with the Japanese themselves. Well, this little place is frequented by Japanese regulars every day, many of them risking their careers by leaving their desks in the City for a few moments! Don't be put off by the unassuming premises. Whether you're looking for unadulterated made to order sushi and sashimi, or, in my experience, the best (and most addictive) katsu curry London has to offer, then this is the place. And it's all at reasonable prices. Unexpectedly for such good Japanese food, it's run by a pair of Sri Lankans who trained in Japan for several months, and it shows. Although they also offer some Thai options, I'd stick to the Japanese stuff as that's where they really excel. The lunch specials are especially good value."
