"yakinori sits on a section of the bristol road that is not known for its culinary excellence. it is student center; a stone throw from the university birmingham, where cheap beer and average Indian restaurants go hand-in-hand together, while pissed-up students cavort or do what pissed-up students do these days. I like this part of brum, because I can come with low expectations and not after home disappointed or broken. but eating good? No, that's a myth. or at least it was until yakinori arrived."

"My friend and I visited this restaurant during the summer to enjoy a cocktail and sit outside on their terrace. The area was beautifully decorated with artificial flowers and grass, and the staff was friendly."

"Happy hour Monday all day really good value. Food prepped and seasoned well. Service ok felt like our waitress couldn’t wait to give us the bill and get rid off us. As soon as we finished the last plate she turned our grill off, didn’t check if we’d like to order more food and we asked to order another plate of food, she made a point of switching the grill back on. Again as soon as we finished that she took our plates and handed us the bill. Reluctant to pay the 12.5% service charge but the other waiter who changed our grill was pleasant and friendly."

"Yakinori has a dedicated Veg Vegan Menu of Japanese fusion food and the restaurant is fun and vibrant. Lots of vegan options and delicious, too. My favourites are the vegan yasai donburi, kabocha pumpkin katsu, vegan yasai ramen, the vegan sushi (especially the inari sweet tofu nigiri) and the vegan yasai gyoza. They do really good vegan bubble teas at Yakinori Bristol, too! The service is always warm and friendly and they also have 2 branches in Birmingham."

"We came at lunch time for the buffet, which is where you pay 24.80 pp and can have as many dishes as you want- just a few examples are sushi, ramen, miso soup, prawn toast, tempura and noodles! Such a variety of dishes to choose from! The service is absolutely top notch- so friendly and they give you sesame oil, sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, wasabi and ginger on the table for you and they also frequently top water up and take away your plates for you. For the buffet, they give you a sheet and you tick which dishes you want (up to 6 per person per round) and then they serve them to you as they are ready! Everything was SO fresh and piping hot and so authentic! Absolutely highly recommend if you’re a sushi lover but also just general Japanese/Asian cuisine lover because there is SO much to choose from! We ended up ordering the maximum of 12 dishes for the first round (there was 2 of us) and then 4 dishes for the 2nd round! But we were fully full after 6 dishes each! Some dishes are bigger than others too which is really nice. Will definitely be going here again!"

"Amazing! This restaurant serves the best sushi for miles. Make sure to try the dragon roll, it's the absolute best. This location is the second in the chain."

"Terrible service, place is dirty, table was sticky. Asked staff to clean the table again cause the table was sticky. Got handed extra napkins to clean ourselves. Ordered sauces to go with our BBQ. Had to remind the server 3 times. It wasn't even busy. Ordered beef slices, got super fatty cuts to the point there was basically no meat. Seats were all run down and covers were all falling apart. Our grill was not changed once during the hour we were BBQing. For a table of 2 we paid close to 100 pounds and for that money a better food and experience can easily be had elsewhere. For a Japanese restaurant the lack of attention to detail was simply shocking. Would not recommend."

"the local loves this place and from good ground. warm, welcoming service and excellent, high quality food. the tables for eating are naturally at a distance and the ambiente of the restaurant is really chilled and relaxed, just perfect. we ordered a mix of sushi selections. for this time remove . it was super fresh, the sashimi was “melting in her mouth” tender and the rice was tender and sticky and light. we enjoyed a green tee while we waited for the cute young to put it together. a totally authentic experience with fresh and tasty eating. Do not pass it!"

"I have visited this restaurant at least 10 times in the last 2 years, as it is in a quiet opposite close to a climbing center. the restaurant is clean, cozy and the staff is always attentive. there are around 7 or 8 tables. some for larger groups and then some smaller, so it is never too busy and therefore eating is served quite quickly. there is a large selection of feeds from yakisoba, variations of sushi, bento boxes and nude and rice dishes as well as many appetizers. I have always found the portions to be generous and the aromes are also very good. the best part is that the price is extremely reasonable, rough £15 per person she will be good and really full in the rule with a starter and a pornstar. the restaurant itself is not the most atmospheric or elaborate in terms of decor, but it is warm and comfortable with generally good employees. highly recommended for anyone looking for a pleasant experience."

"I recently ordered takeout from Midori restaurant and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. I specifically requested ramen with chicken, but to my dismay, I received a dish with pork instead there was not even an option of pork. Furthermore, the ramen soup was excessively oily and lacked any discernible flavor. It was as if the chef had simply poured oil into a bowl of water and called it soup. the sushi rolls I ordered arrived in a pitiful state – completely destroyed and barely resembling sushi at all. It was evident that no care was taken in the preparation or packaging of these items, resulting in a mess that was unappetizing to look at, let alone eat. Midori restaurant was extremely disappointing, and I cannot in good conscience recommend it to others, especially for takeout orders."

"We were a bit late and at the beginning the guy looking at the reservation couldn’t find the 7pm but I had the proof on my phone . However we got a table inside , the food was ok but drinks very small and expensive, also food quiet expensive as well. Was the first time I was taking my friends there, I am not sure if I will return as we spent £28 each."

"We are just loving this place. Our third visit and we keep coming back for more. In our opinion it is the best place in London right now to get japanese food and believe me we have been to quite a few japanese restaurants. Fabulous food, well cooked and seasoned, extensive menu and the staff could not be more helpful and attentive. We had two orders of edamme as appetisers then moved on to duck chicken gyoza. So difficult to stop eating these delightful dumplings but we forced ourselves and moved onto chicken katsu and salmon teriyaki. Both were absolutely delicious. We finished with creamy chocolate and coffee cocktails. Coupled with heavenly Miles Davis on the airwaves we left walking on air and are currently planning our next visit. With the 50% off we paid £19.60 for the whole meal. Incredible value"

"Vegan options are in somerset in the regular limited and although they sell meat here, ebisu clearly mark vegetarian and vegan options on their menu. After a day in wsm we have a take. I would probably recommend to sit and eat instead of taking away if possible, as I always think that something is lost in taste when stumbled into a box. Nevertheless, eating was great, it didn't necessarily feel authentic japanese in terms of lightness, but it tasted everything really good. will definitely come back, but next time they sit back and it was as good as the first time if not better! updated by the previous review on 2021-09-19"

"This was once my favorite sushi restaurant in Glasgow, where I reside. However, it appears that another restaurant called Meets Noodles has taken over this establishment and kept the old name in an attempt to maintain previous customers. Unfortunately, none of the new staff members speak English, which has led to multiple issues with incorrect orders and lack of communication. I have called the restaurant and after numerous attempts to communicate in English, they have hung up on me. The same situation occurred when a delivery service called Caitlins tried to clarify an order. This change in service due to non-English speaking staff has been frustrating for me and has deterred me from ordering from them. It seems that the restaurant may no longer specialize in sushi. I would advise caution when ordering from here, as the lack of English communication has impacted the overall experience. Sadly, I will no longer consider this restaurant as a sushi option in Glasgow, but they may still offer delicious noodles."

"It’s not the first time I have problems with this place. They keep sending food that have ingredients that are not specified on the menu. I am allergic to dairy and more than one occasion they sent sushis containing dairy to me. Last time I...ordered this it happened too and after a lot of arguments they sent again my order so when it got to my home we received unripe avocado sushi’s. Veggie and meat option mixed together. One word: disgusting. Don’t bother eating there"

"I do not recommend this restaurant! The menu looked nice, but each dish had 2 prices side by side. We asked for the regular mains, and then asked for some garlic bread as a starter to have whilst we waited for our mains. As we finished the starter, the waiter came and took the empty plates away and said that now he was going to request the mains and the wait would be another 15-20 minutes. When the mains finally arrived, the portions were extremely small and there was really only pasta! At this point, we decided to go elsewhere for desert and asked for the bill. All the mains were priced at the large portions rate and there was the usual 12,5% service charge. We spoke with the person who came to take the payment and explained that we wouldn't pay the service charge as we were not pleased with the overall service and especially the main dishes. The waiter simply said Ok' in an unhappy way, took the payment and went away. Overall, the staff are not friendly and the service and food does not meet the standard set by the price charged!"

"I placed a bet on the Grand National just for fun and took the betting slip with me to Nando’s, where I enjoyed my lunch. Unfortunately, I accidentally left the slip there and only realized it after discovering I had won later in the day. When I returned to search for the slip, Cecilia was incredibly helpful, even searching through the bins to help me find it. I later went to the betting shop, which had a record of my purchase and paid out my winnings. I returned to Nando’s to thank Cecilia for her kindness, and it turned out she had continued searching, eventually finding the ticket and safely placing it under the till for me. Her act of kindness was truly touching. It’s also a great Nando’s!"
