"I was really excited to try this place. It's one of only Japanese restaurants in the area so I thought it would be a nice evening out but it was disappointing. The rice was gluey, the yakitori was deep fried, the tempura was not freshly made. Bibimbap really needed seasoning and we could hear the microwave being used a lot. We hadn't eaten all day so we did eat most of our meal but we were so disappointed in the quality compared to the price. It's too bad because there aren't many other similar options around."

"We were not prepared for the flavour journey Kazoku we're taking us on. Beautiful, simply. Divine. Magical. A journey through taste that we haven't experienced before. The plum wine, the serving of the food in intervals, the clinical knowledge the staff had of the food. We would like to personally commend the chefs for allowing us to try their food. We will be back, we would book a hotel just to visit again. Nothing more needs to be said, visit and divulge into what can only be described as brilliant. Congratulations, phenomenal. Thank you."

"We went to the restaurant with our kids for breakfast, hoping to enjoy pancakes and sweet dim sum. Unfortunately, we were informed that those items were out of stock, and the kids weren't really interested in the savory breakfast options. I would have expected that they would have enough ingredients prepared for a full breakfast service! Additionally, there was only one flavor of bubble tea available, which was another item we were specifically looking forward to. Although we still had a pleasant visit, it was a bit disappointing to learn that half of the menu wasn’t available."

"However, our most recent experience was disappointing. The quality of the sushi had declined, the portions were smaller, and the delivery was delayed. It was not as enjoyable as our first experience. Overall, I would recommend giving You Me Sushi a try, but be aware that the quality of the food and service may vary."
" delicious sushi). However, during my second visit, I was a bit disappointed. The quality of the sushi was not as good as before, and the portion sizes seemed smaller. Hopefully, my next visit will be more like the first time. Despite this, the staff were still friendly and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. Overall, You Me Sushi is still a decent option for a quick and affordable lunch."

"After a lovely day walking around Edinburgh my friend and I decided to go for ramen and stumbled across this lovely place in Edinburgh. Happy to report it was exactly what we wanted and more . The decor in the restaurant was lovely and the vibe was great. The staff were very friendly. The food was delicious . We went for the crispy pork bao buns and garlic ramen with pork . The buns melted in the mouth and had a huge depth of flavour . The ramen was thick and full of brilliant flavours of garlic and other wonderful good ness . If you want wonderful Japanese cuisine then do take a pop into this place . You will love the experience."

"There are three labelled vegan ramens on the menu, plus a few side dishes. We had the crispy tofu bao buns to start. The tofu did indeed have a lovely crispy texture and the sauce was tasty, but the other components (tomato, lettuce, cucumber) watered everything down a bit, unfortunately. Visually, it could have used a bit more care to make it look more tempting too. I had the white natural ramen, which had a lovely savoury, creamy broth with loads of flavour. My partner has the spicy natural, and loved the kick to the broth. In both dishes, the portion of noodles was generous. The toppings were a bit boring the tofu didn't have any flavour, and the broccoli was a fun change from the usual bok choi but was a bit tricky to manage. Overall, we felt the exciting broth was a bit let down by the toppings. Service was quite fast and friendly. Everything was easy to navigate and it's a nice bright spot."

"We ordered: Pork katsu curry rice, Tori Karaage donburi, Sushi Moriawase, a mango mochi and a passionfruit mochi. The good: For a Japanese restaurant in the heart of London, the prices are reasonable, about £10 to £15 for a main of reasonable size. Portions big enough to leave you just about satisfied All of the food we ordered was consistently decent. Not amazing, not bad, but decent. Service was lightning fast couldn 't have been quicker For desert, they serve ice cream mochi balls for £2 in various flavours. They were delicious the passion fruit was the best). It was just the right amount of something sweet for a very cheap price. We ordered the Sushi Moriawase, one of the more expensive items £26). The sushi was decent, better than what you would get in the well known sushi chain restaurants at around the same price point. The bad: It might be more accurate to describe this place as a canteen rather than a restaurant. There 's zero ambience or attractive décor, the tables are very closely placed together, and the wait staff will clear your table very quickly once you 're finished a dish. We never got the feeling we were being rushed or were expected to leave, but it 's not a relaxing place to unwind. One of the waitresses was in such a rush she dropped a full bowl of food on the floor at the table right in front of us... Summary: In Japan, you 'll encounter casual, cheap, unpretentious comfort food eateries known as Shokudo. Misato is a Shokudo in central London. It 's a step up from 'Wasabi ' and 'Yo! Sushi ', but you 're not there to take in the atmosphere and the surroundings, or to try adventurous takes on Japanese classics you 're there to have reasonable Japanese meal, at a reasonable price, and to leave shortly after."
"This tiny restaurant in an Oxford backstreet serves the best Japanese food I’ve ever eaten anywhere. It’s a family setup and you are likely to be seated by the owner, then served food by his son that’s fresh off the pan wielded by his wife : Opening hours vary on different days of the week and one night a week is sushi night so no hot food. No reservations are taken so get there early or you’ll be queuing by the door – this isn’t the place for a long leisurely meal but perfect for lunch in town. Food is gorgeous, my favourites are the pork teriyaki and their eponymous edamame, which is much, much better than you’ll get from any of the Japanese chains like Itsu, Wasabi or Wagamama. They also serve hot saki and cold Calpis (if you know your Calpis from your Calpico then you’re a real Japanese food aficionado! ."

"Greatest Hangover Cure!. After heavy night out, what i really needed to get me back to form was a big bowl of ramen. Tonkotsu east by Haggerston station was a saving grace and a great addition to the area. Went with a friend and loved the space which is right under the overground rail line. Staff was friendly and attentive. Ordered the Chicken gyoza, Crabmeat Korokke and we both had the Tonkotsu ramen. The Crabmeat Korokke was great, like croquettes its served with delicious mayonaise. I could eat these for days. The Gyoza came out next but with no sauce, then i realized you had to make your own sauce from the table soya, vinegar and chili oil. This was nice as we like it hot and you can...read more"

"I was quite surprised to discover a whole food dish across whole food in our search for bones of daddies. the current magic of the weather has kept me looking for suppe and ramen art of food. after a trip to the design museum, tried to find a place for early dinner and revealed bones of daddies that I had previously written literally. while it is set in a food dish, bone daddies has its own place for diners, so when they enter, they will feel a restaurant. we arrived early at 6:30, but there were already a few tables with people who share small tellers and drinks from their extensive menu. we left us on a jasmin tee and carrot orange juice (alcohol detox diet is on, otherwise I would like to try some of the exciting sakes on the menu) the table had a series of spicy chili paste (vegetarian, no garnel, yay for me,) sesame seeds, garlic marinated vinegar. the lady got us a little extra chili oil when I asked that my robbers are sharp. they also offered horny ties (elastic straps) and plastic straps. such a thoughtful gesture to eat rammen. he had a late lunch and didn't want to go to the main course, but I was really hungry. So we have for several small plates and one main. the fried chicken went well with wasabi mayo dip that accompanied the chicken summer roller. I think the fried chicken deserved the bathroom more than the roll. the chili pork bao was beautiful, but I was surprised to get only one piece (a previous picture on this group may have sown my expectations) it was great so that we cut it into half to share. the plastered shijitake was perfect for what I wanted (to cut the viscous texture of the toncottsu wheel) the rave was perfect. I liked the lower part of noodles to veggies and I had ordered extra mushrooms and pork. While I prefer a higher proportion of protein and veg of carb, I must admit that I would have enjoyed much more of the noodles (they have the opportunity to order extra) they were really good. the small mochi ice balls were perfect. not too sweet, just a hauch sweet. I have tried the yuzu, hazelnuts and chocolate, although I was a chocoholic, I have to say the yuzu hazelnuts were very preferred. I know now where I'm going to eat when I'm on the kensington high street in the evening. there is so much more in the Starter menu that I want to try and I love their version of the Tonkotsu wheel."

"Came to Koj pop up restaurant as a surprise to celebrate my boyfriend's 30th, since Japanese food is a big love of ours. We were not disappointed the space is quirky and cosy, and their order and it comes when ready informal menu approach was fun and very Japanese! The cocktails were absolutely excellent, they lived up to their theatrical presentation. Every dish was packed with flavour, right down to the rice and edamame I can't pick a favourite but I can tell you I could eat this food every day for the rest of my life and never get bored absolutely wonderful. It was as good (and some dishes better) as anything we ate while in Japan. Last but not least the staff were so friendly, enthusiastic and on the ball really very impressive. Thanks for a memorable landmark birthday meal Koj, please don't leave at Christmas!"

"We visited on Friday night after managing to secure a last minute booking and we absolutely loved it! We have been to Japan and we found the restaurant to be extremely authentic in terms of its food and presentation. It was so busy and had a great buzz about it! We ordered a selection of dishes but the stand-out for me was the aubergine with sweet miso (absolutely delicious) and my husband really loved the chicken yakitori. Service a little slow to start (took a while to take our food order and get our wine) but it was busy and we couldn't complain. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic experience with delicious food. Bill (including a £25 bottle of wine) came to just under £70 without tip for the two of us which we thought was exceptional value for the quality.."

"Was strolling in central London craving something sweet when I saw Shibuya Soho. I went in out of sheer curiosity because I 'm always drawn to Asian cuisine. Didn 't even know dessert was sold here, as it just looked like a typical Japanese eatery. I saw a very interesting looking iced concoction and inquired about it. I was told it 's Bing Su, an ice-cream like treat native to the Koreas. It had what appeared to be ice shavings with milk syrup drizzled on top. I simply had to try it because it 's unlike anything I had ever come across. It reminded me of a snow cone, snow globe and slush, all rolled into one. I decided to try the Mango Bing Su. It was described in the menu as 'milk snow flake with fresh apple mango '; a very apt description The Bin Su was incredible! It was milky, frothy, syrupy icy, all at the same time. A very different fascinating experience for my inquisitive taste buds! The mango was the star ingredient, giving the Bing Su that perfect balance of sweetness tartness. I enjoyed the Bing Su so much, that I eventually returned to try another flavor a few days later. I got the Momo Bing Su. This one was with peach. Though very yummy too, it wasn 't as good as the mango version. Shibuya Soho has made me a huge Bing Su fan simultaneously 'educated ' me about a brand new exquisite dessert. Can 't wait to return and try the other awesome looking Bing Sus, and maybe some of the cuisine as well. Great find for me, in the heart of London 's West!"

"4 people booked for dinner. requested a 5th but not a space as booked to capacity, but sat beside 3 empty tables during the meal. A plum cocktail and an asahi beer from the drinks menu ordered, but not in the position to make the cocktail as one of the spirits is not available. the asahi had run out. had planted wine instead of it was delicious! I ordered a couple of teller foods to get started. the sushi was amazingly tasty as an explosion of joy in her mouth, the taste buds that they did not know they had. I wanted to order more food, but was informed that the restaurant had run out of rice. there were 5 more outliers since we last ordered and they received the last. a sushi restaurant without rice feels a bit like a pub without beer or a chippie without chips. we were absolutely shocked. I will give soyokaze 3 stars because while they were eating and running, what we did was an absolute joy and our waitress was excellent in the handling, which was a really embarrassing situation. I would definitely come back for more sushi, but would book an earlier slot to dinner next time!"

"Authentic. Tried the signature Tonkotsu ramen and the Ice and Fire. The signature Tonkotsu was authentic. Nevertheless, there was inconsistency in the handling of the egg it should have semi runny yoke! Mine was cooked while my friend 's was runny. One may argue this was a major flaw for a ramen soft boiled eggs with semi runny yoke are one of the key factors making breaking a ramen and Shoryu needs to up its game on it. The salmon of the Ice and Fire was excellent. However, I was confused about the noodles and the broth. Was one supposed to put the noodles into the hot broth? In the end I put it in anyway as it would have been too dry. The broth was extra strong (we compared it with the normal broth of the Tonkotsu) and very yummy. As a side we ordered fried chicken pieces, which however were a disappointment. They were greasy chicken pieces nothing special. It was way too hot though inside (we went there on the hottest day in London) and we sweated like pigs from start to finish and actually felt relieved to be outside the restaurant afterwards. However, it was a great bargain as we enjoyed the £5 ramen discount. At its original price, I may go back but probably not until I have tried all the other ramen places."
