"This is a wonderful spot for gathering with family and friends. The food is great, and I really enjoyed the barbecue. However, it can get a bit warm during the eating, as the air conditioning could be stronger. The drink prices are on the high side, and the barbecue menu has limited options."

"really delicious, healthy Japanese cuisine. the miso suppe is like a hug in a cup. great service and great variety on menu. with one of the dishes too much rice and not enough sauce/meat. and the only other room for improvement is I have always found it super cool in there, so take an additional cardiac. beautiful view of bruntsfield area where you can watch people. we always make ourselves happy and full. can't wait to come back."

"Booked a table of 5 for my birthday dinner. We were promptly seated then immediately asked for drinks orders before even being offered a drinks menu or water. After we had ordered drinks we were being rushed into ordering some food, every two minutes different waiters coming and asking if we are ready to order (at least 7 times). After we did order and the food was brought out, we were then just forgotten about and nobody came over anymore to check if we needed any more drinks (4 out of 5 glasses were empty) or if the food was ok. (It was- but no one checked). After we had finished dining, we still had empty glasses and had to wait 20+ minutes until we eventually stopped a waiter walking past and asked if we could order more drinks. The drinks then took another 15 minutes to come. It was also very disappointing that although we had mentioned on the booking itself that it was for my birthday, there was no acknowledgement of this (I have been before and had received a plate with ‘happy birthday’ written on it in some kind of sauce with a sparkler). My sister even went to ask the woman working on the front desk and received a standoffish attitude back saying no. When the £235 bill came, it even listed ‘birthday plate £0.00’ on it!!! That really let the evening down. The interactions with the staff themselves were great, they were very polite and personable but the actual level of service of being rushed to order and then totally forgotten about really dampened what could have been a fantastic evening."

"beautiful, light local with many seating. the personal is friendly and the service is fast. there are many vegan options in the entire menu: starter, sushi and hot net. we have a little bit of everything done and everything was delicious. the prices are on the higher side for Japanese eating in edinburgh, but deserves that. I found drinks and alcohol, especially the planted wine very expensive."

"We ordered a variety of starters, a sushi and sashimi platter, along with some individual sushi hand rolls. Everything was incredibly fresh and tasty. The drink selection was sufficient to meet most preferences. The service was both friendly and efficient, striking a pleasing balance between formal and informal. Additionally, the prices are relatively reasonable for central dining, especially considering the quality offered. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this restaurant. **Service:** Dine-in **Meal type:** Dinner **Price per person:** £50–60 **Food:** 5 **Service:** 5 **Atmosphere:** 5 **Recommended dishes:** Rolls, Sushi Platter"

"This is a great place to eat, but avoid at all cost ordering a takeaway, meal was an hour late and the meal arrived cold. The soup dish had spilled into the bag, so no soup. When I complained, there was zero comprehension that my evening had been disrupted and complete denial that the one of the meals was not edible I.e. it was in a bag. The owner avoided at all costs to speak with me and simple shut me down with an I don't care attitude. She needs to try harder one star. In addition, the staff that took the compliant laughed and mocked my complaint as they out the phone down."

"I highly recommend 201 Asian Kitchen for its outstanding food and service. The owners are welcoming and attentive, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere. I particularly enjoy the laksa and sushi, and I always make sure to save some space for dessert. It's truly a gem in the neighborhood!"

"While the food was delicious, the chef is quite inflexible. We simply wanted to make sushi rolls with cooked/tempura salmon, like other sushi restaurants offer, but he refused. The service was slow, and the prices were very high for sushi. My advice is to be a bit more flexible with the menu, adjust prices to be more reasonable, and perhaps hire more staff. If you do, you would likely have a full house every night!"
"We order takeout from Sushi Life about once a month, but decided to dine in today. The service was excellent, the food was fantastic as always, and we were never disappointed. Without a doubt, our favorite sushi restaurant in Cardiff. We will definitely make an effort to dine in more frequently in the future."

"This is our second visit and again its been an excellent choice. On this occasion my other half went for Cambodian steak and Korean seafood noodle soup for myself. Boy oh boy, the Korean noodle soup lived up to and then surpassed expectations. This on its own is a substantial and delicious lunch. From now on if running round Norwich this is what I'm going for to warm up and recharge. Get the real deal here and avoid the many poor imitations out there."

"Food was absolutely delicious. Very authentic Japanese cuisine that is very reasonably priced. Small intimate setting with floor seating (Japanese style) or table seating. Menu was extensive with plenty of vegetarian options. Service was immaculate. Definitely recommend, and I will be returning! Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options Parking: Free parking outside (during evening, unsure about daytime), but limited spaces, however there is parking up the road, particularly on an evening when the roads are quieter Kid-friendliness: There were families with all ages of people including children when I went"

"Looking for a sushi restaurant to visit in London but didnt want to end up visiting one of the extremely expensive ones where you pay for the view or the actual restaurant rather than the food. So we visited Life because of its good reviews. By stepping into the restaurant its not something special or its not something that will make your night out interesting. The food itself though is very nice : The menu has some interesting sushi plates and a variety to choose from.Even though the food was a bit late to arrive...and we had to ask twice why it was taking them more than 40 minutes to bring the food...I must say that it was worth the wait! Fish was fresh and all sushi/sashimi/nigiri/maki rolls satisfied our appetite to eat sushi!!! Its presentation was very nice and it came in the way that all restaurants present them. But in this restaurant you dont pay extra for this, which is good!Desserts menu only had a few dishes to choose from. And the actual dishes were not something special.This restaurant is highly recommended but it will not be an unforgettable experience.I would go again just to have a budget sushi : !!!"
"I recently had the best sushi at this restaurant! We visited this afternoon and the sushi was so exceptional that I couldn't wait to leave a five-star review! We ordered a mixed nigiri platter and a spider maki roll. The sushi rice was absolutely fantastic! It was unlike any sushi I’ve had before—no hard, dry textures or long travel taste. The combination of flavors in all the sushi was simply amazing. It was fresh, delicious, and offered great value for money! Unlike some other places, it wasn't overloaded with ingredients. We’re definitely interested in trying their teppanyaki dishes, but we knew we’d be too full to manage it today! I really wish this restaurant were right next to our apartment, as we only came for an event nearby. If I lived closer, I would visit all the time! We did wait for over 30 minutes to get our sushi, but it was absolutely worth it. It's clear this place is very popular for takeout and dining in. (Just a note: the picture with the white plate isn’t ours; we just wanted to take a photo.)"

"Do not recommend. Unbearable service. Unsatisfactory environment. At 11:59pm, it suddenly started to rain heavily and I was going to take shelter and have my lunch at this restaurant. But the staff insisted on not letting me in even though I said I just wanted to stand in the doorway to get out of the rain and that I could wait for them to open in a minute before being seated. The staff wasn't very fluent in English so I offered to communicate in Japanese, but they didn't seem to understand. After I spoke to the staff, they were still whispering to themselves in Japanese in response to my questions (most of the seats were fully booked, and I offered to sit in a seat that was an hour away from the appointed time to finish my meal quickly, but unfortunately they still didn't seem to understand what I meant). The food wasn't bad, but the restaurant heavily smelled like fish and the poor service made the food taste even worse. Would not recommend to come to this one. We have better options around."

"Although the food is delicious and we are frequent customers, today's service was disappointing. We felt deceived. We requested extra Wasabi Ginger, but they did not include the appropriate amount in the original packaging. They assured us they would add more, but when we got home, there was none in the packaging. This happened just 5 minutes ago. This was for my daughter and I was truly upset. My advice: Do not use the collection service, never rely on the staff, and always double-check to ensure they have included what you asked for in the order box."

"The food and service at this restaurant were generally good, but there were errors with our order and some dishes were disappointing (such as the not-so-fresh salmon sashimi and mediocre pork soba noodles). The service was friendly and the atmosphere pleasant, although it felt more like a cafe than a restaurant. I was disturbed by the presence of a large coral on the counter, as it is unethical to source such objects. This coral was likely harvested from a live reef, which is concerning given the endangered status of coral reefs."

"Second time I've been to Eat Tokyo (Soho) and I wasn't disappointed. Food is tasty, and big portions for fair price. The single disappointment was the staff not being very friendly and kind of rushing us to leave. Also on Google the restaurant closes at 23 but that day they were closing at 22 instead. But overall good experience and good food."
"So glad this incredible little Japanese local is within walking distance of my house. First time we came we ordered the sushi special which came with proper crab, which is SO hard to find! the pork and ginger with shredded cabbage which were both great and we really enjoyed it. Second time round we ordered the beef udon with shiitake tempura tempura soba and they were 100% top notch on a cold evening. I really loved the udon noodles, the meat broth was too good 美味しい! . Really interesting series of ice cream. Roasted soy kuromitsu gets 11/10 for me and the anko maple was incredible too. I'd love to see more desserts on the menu because I absolutely love Japanese desserts. I've already decided next time I'm getting the special seafood tempura boat and banana tempura! Definitely coming back, I love Tokyo Retro!"

"If Google did , this establishment would be a worthy contender. Found the place through trip advisor. Coming to Portsmouth with family to see a show and having a few hours to kill from .lunchtime. No wonder it has so many excellent reviews. From the fine dining professionals that are front of house, to the quality of the food served this place oozes quality. Prices aren't too steep and the overall dining experience is convivial. The steak pie (while not a massive portion) us more than enough for most and is delicious, served with chips and peas. I had the Onglet steak. As described, not quite as tender as some steaks I've eaten, but such deep delicious flavour. Served with vine tomatoes and chips For starters we had prawn cocktails. For dessert we had a chocolate mouse, lemon tart and a plate called a creme catalana. An amazing restaurant and well worth visiting if you're in Portsmouth. Thanks guys."
