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

"We love sushi and were looking forward to a nice dinner out. Maki-sushi was dissapoonting on many levels, the staff were cold and service was non-existent. The ambience wasn't great either The menu was very limited, also the sushi didn't seem to be freshly prepared, as we asked for tempura prawns and at first we were told they had them and then we were told we could only have them in a roll.... So the tempura was definitely pre-cooked. For the price of the food we expected fresh, well made sushi We won't be going back."

"Poké has become a popular food trend in London, and Tombo Fitzrovia is right on point with their menu offerings. Guests can choose from classic poké bowls or create their own customized dish, making for an interactive dining experience. I recommend trying the Classic Poké with Salmon or Tuna, as well as the Kaisen Poké with Salmon and Tuna. Vegans and meat-eaters alike will also find delicious options on the menu. I particularly enjoyed the fresh and flavorful tuna and salmon sashimi, as well as the Hello Kitty Poké bowl with salmon, black and white rice, and edible flowers. The dishes were well-prepared and satisfying. The restaurant also offers a variety of award-winning matcha teas, including the Hello Kitty Matcha Latte. The matcha desserts, such as Matcha Tarts and Cheesecakes, are also worth trying. Overall, Tombo offers a fantastic dining experience with high-quality food, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere. Whether you are a fan of matcha or new to poké, this restaurant is a great place to explore these unique flavors."

"a wonderful birthday lunch: outstanding appetizers (tatar of white fish in ceviche style with mango, jalapeno, thai curry and truffled spices from the meadow-champignons with plucked pasta) and an excellent main course (poched cablejau with sweet potatoes and curry anapore drink atmosphere). we're coming back!"

"very long wait for delivery; never again. we made a delivery online on a Sunday evening, the delivery promised in 45 minutes. it was about an hour and still our delivery had not arrived, so we only ask ourselves that they had no idea if they were to supply our food, as there are no drivers available, and that they would call us if that had gone. I said the website promised delivery within 45 minutes and everything they said it takes more today. an hour later and we are waiting for our eating absolutely ridiculous! never order from here again."

"As a fairly regular Ukai customer I was very disappointed with my most recent visit. The service was stellar as usual but the food was terrible the worst I’ve ever had there. We ordered 2 lamb chops, one medium rare and one well done both of which came out looking pretty similarly cooked on a bed of dry wilted salad leaves which can’t have been wilted by the heat of the lamb chops because they were very cold. The sticky rice was warm and bland. The staff were very helpful and apologetic but after microwaving the lamb chops and bringing them back out they were just very dry and unimpressive. Although we were given a small discount at the end as this was birthday meal following me singing Ukai’s praises as one of my favourite bar/restaurants I was and still am very disappointed with my experience. We left feeling hungry after eating a meal and a starter. In addition to this we ordered a juice and one cocktail, which came to £95 with the discount seems pretty steep considering how little we actually ordered."

"I have visited flesh bun several times and have also recommended friends and family to go as well as, all I recommend have thoroughly enjoyed it. the sushi at the flesh bun is delicious and clear fresh, the cut-off and the pickle in the spicy thun-fishing roll gives a more pleasant taste. the Korean wings are fantastic, the spicy sour sauce is great and the huge Jumbo wings are completely covered in them. also the chili-mano-bresket and crispy ferkelglock in relation to the meat and the rolls-big plates) were nice, but I would say the big plates are not as good the small plates and sushi are. I have not ordered the best options? but I will definitely go back and will always try to different things. the skallop yaki was also very mediocre, it was nice, but for £12,25 it was not worth it at all. there were some cocktails and they were also good. service was very fast, decor is beautiful and overall a good experience that is not over expensive."

"fantastic atmosphere and menu with amazing drinks menu. it is quite expensive, but taking into account the overall experience, it is actually a good value overall, although definitiw at the high end of the berliner prices. highly recommended as long as they can afford it."

"We visted this restaurant for an anniversary dinner and left very satisfied with the level of service and food. The starter with squid was superb and unique. Mains we got a duck main and sea bream main. Both were very good but sea bream was better. Desserts Cheesecake and chocolate lava cake. Both excellent . The cheesecake was unusual but very tasty. Highly recommended."

"I have eaten here on and off for a few years now and I sometimes forget why I am not a regular. By writing this review I hope this reminds me and helps others decide on going or returning here. The restaurant is missing something: the decor is cool but the large flank wall on the LHS as you walk in is plain and makes the hall cold. The open kitchen is honest yet some of the waiters are too shy to tell you what’s on your plate. Throw your food down and run off while others tell you which each dish is. The food is just above average and presented well, yet the radio music seems so off and kills any vibe. Overall not worth £230 for two people- such a shame because the place has huge potential."

"Sushi Surprise is a really small place that could only accommodate up to 8 people sitting with two high tables. It is more appropriately described as a takeaway. The surprise element for today's lunch deal is the salmon nigiri topped with parmesan and then a quick blow torch action for the finishing. You want a twist to your lunch, check out Sushi Surprise. Not too cheap but the freshness of the sushi is worth paying for."

"1) Food Quality (5/5) The sushi/sashimi is very high quality; the fish is fresh, buttery rich and served at the correct temperature. Hot food is delicious; katsu sauce is perfectly spiced; teriyaki sauce a tad too potent but great if spread out 2) Food Range (4/5) Range acceptable. Hot food could be expanded slightly for interest e.g. to include noodles. Ready to go sushi in the fridge usually quite limited so need to order bespoke, which takes time 3) Service (2/5) Staff are a little aloof, sullen even, which seems to stem from the management down. The energy of the service needs to be made more positive 4) Atmosphere (2/5) Venue is tiny and pokey. There is no clear queue/order system so customers shuffle around each other, often having to wait outside in the cold 5) Value (3/5) Prices have risen while portion sizes have remained static or reduced. Even given today's difficult economic climate, the food feels just too expensive 6) Overall Verdict (4/5) The hot food is tasty and moreish. The sushi is bordering on exceptional. Would like prices to be more restrained, and more efficient service with more of a smile, but...the food quality drags the overall score to 4/5 7) Got to try... Prawn Katsu Curry, Salmon Teriyaki or go all out with a Sushi Platter!"

"We had an amazing evening here and tasted the special 7 course menu they were running in January for £25!! What a deal. It was really busy for a Monday night and the food is definitely the reason behind that! The crispy squid was my favourite dish the honey sauce was something out of this world. The pork gyoza was also probably the best I’ve ever had. We inhaled the food so quickly but unfortunately we were kept waiting on one of our courses for quite a bit of time. I believe we may have been forgotten about. However this didn’t spoil the evening and the food was worth the wait when it arrived. Would love to come back and the young guy that served us was fab!"

"My family and I visited this restaurant once again for a delicious meal, and we were not disappointed. The food had delicate flavors and was fresh, and the service was discreet. Akemi herself oversees all the cooking, ensuring high standards and consistency. I realized that my first review was over 10 years ago, which is a testament to the quality of this place. The menu has been reduced, indicating that the food is prepared fresh. They have a large selection of sake, which I appreciate as someone who is sensitive to alcohol but never experiences headaches with sake. I will be returning tonight and look forward to another great dining experience."

"Didn’t actually manage to eat as despite booking 2weeks in advance there was no table for us. We waited more than 20mins outside with no information as to what was happening or how long we might need to wait. They seemed to have no system at all for how they were seating people and when I asked what the plan was they were really rude and told me to be patient. Ended up leaving to eat elsewhere as it was chaos. Also noted the screens separating the tables inside were below face height so not covid safe. Between this and the scrum of confused people waiting for their booked table I’d stay clear if you’re at all concerned about covid. Seems they really haven’t go the hang of a booking system at all."

"We had a family lunch at the Rick Stein 's restaurant in Winchester on the 2nd June, 2024, and went for 3 set menus. Fish cakes from the starter (cod) and main course (salmon) were both very dry, gaspacho was ok but the taste was far from what should cost over 9GBP. But the 'cherry on top was the Spelt risotto that was really bad: the vegetables were over-cooked and soggy, parmesan was grated before the plate was served and did not look as freshly grated. It may sound alright for some guests but this is not your local pub! Green beans do not need to be boiled until soggy! This is the place that charges 50GBP for a plate of fish! I did not raise concern on the day as I was there with two kids who are getting excited about fine dining and I did not want to ruin their experience. I do not think the restaurant is run by Rick Stein but it is rather a franchise where chefs who cannot cook or can 't be bothered, and use Rick 's name instead to charge a fortune for a 'bad pub meal . Very disappointed, will not recommend and will not come back."

"Great place but starting to look a bit tired. Toilets are an issue as limited and not particularly clean which is always a red flag! Try and get an attendant who is ideally not serving food, to check the loos every 15 mins and discourage patrons from allowing their dogs to sit on the seats. Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch"
