"My colleagues and I (6 of us) were here on 14/5 (Tues) for a birthday celebration. We arrived at 545 pm but waited a while before we got seated. An older lady was taking our order. My colleague asked if she could change prawns to chicken padthai but the waitress did not seem to understand and kept telling my colleague to get the cashew chicken rice if she wants chicken. In the end, she just ordered from the ala carte menu instead of set. We also ordered a bottle of rosé from her but she gave us white wine. We had to tell her it’s not rosé and only she changed it for us. It also took them quite some time to attend to us when we were asking for more water. Food wise starters were amazing, i especially like the corn cakes!!! We were impressed at the variety of mixed starters the restaurant has. The green curry was delicious as well (definitely one of the best in London) Atmosphere was great the seats were pretty even and spaced throughout the restaurant so it didnt feel very cramped. Overall, i would’ve given more stars if service was better. I think it’s just understaffed with only two people on the floor but customers kept coming in."

"We visited the restaurant on December 11, 2022, and the hotel receptionist informed us that it was closed. Unfortunately, she didn't provide any further explanation, and when we tried to call, no one answered. We had made a reservation for a busy Saturday, but it did not include the restaurant. Please remove this place from OpenTable when it is closed!"

"The host was excellent upon our arrival, but our table was not ready on time. This wasn't a big issue as we were able to stand and enjoy a drink while we waited. Unfortunately, there was no space at the bar and we had to stand right next to the DJ. The service was okay, but they forgot our order twice. The food was good, but I would say it was just average. Overall, the experience was okay, but not excellent as it should have been."

"I recently visited this restaurant for an express lunch for the second time. The service was quick and the staff were attentive, as the restaurant wasn't busy. I ordered a starter and chicken pad Thai, which arrived promptly. However, I found a piece of chicken that was completely raw inside when I cut into it. Despite already eating most of the food, I showed it to the waitress who apologized and removed it from my plate. They kindly took £5 off the bill, although I didn't bother arguing as I was with a client. Unfortunately, I experienced discomfort in my stomach afterwards, which I consider a serious issue. I recommend checking the meat carefully if you choose to dine there."

"After visiting this restaurant for approx 10 years, we visited recently for a family birthday and to say we are disappointed is a huge understatement and it will be our last visit. We ordered a variety of dim sum and noddles to share which worked out at £45 a head (incl drinks). Whilst quite pricey, We don 't mind paying that much if the food is nice but most of it was bad quality. The pork shumai was disgusting and honestly inedible, the chicken feat in black bean sauce came out red in colour like it had been curried, furthermore the seafood had the taste of ammonia. The Vietnamese spring rolls had changed since our last visit, and whilst they were fine, they were not as tasty as before. We heard the dimsum chef had recently not been working and dim sum was off the menu for a period of time and we can only assume that the chef must have left. Also we only arrived at 1pm (opens at 12) yet one third of the dishes were sold out and marked off the dim sum menu. One other complaint is that after 10 years of regularly visiting this restaurant, no current staff have ever made an effort to ask our name or even acknowledge we have been before which we never minded before when the food was tasty. We are young and non-chinese in terms of ethnicity and we saw the restaurant staff greet other customers with a lot more acknowledgement and we even saw they knew the table next to us regular order which is ironic since we are also regulars. Seemed like they never made any effort to greet us. Will avoid from here on out."

"We went after their great renovation and the ambience is good for one night in a quiet yet lively restaurant. However, given the situation not central London compared to all other many other Japanese restaurants I was, the prices are too high. I pay less for everything in an authentic Japanese restaurant in central locations. Sushi quality is great with thick and fresh cuts and good decoration and good selection of menu for the size of the kitchen. A dish that I do not enjoy was my favorite grilled egg on rice, the size of the aal was 1/3 of the normal size for the price of £18, as the aal prices have decreased little in recent years. For this reason I gave 2 star of 5 for value. If you are looking for great sushi in Kentish Town, there is no other place, so I recommend if you are a local Japanese fan."

"The food was awful, we most definitely have had better authentic thai food at food stalls. Lamb shank panag curry was totally flavourless. Duck with cashew nut was mostly soggy duck skin the mixed started was ok because of variety but also quite bland. The service was awful, they tried to charge us separately for each item on the set menu and would t apologise for their mistake. Atmosphere wasn’t quite empty for a Saturday night and it’s become very apparent why. Would not recommend. I also feel quite unwell now."

"For some reason we received no service, wait staff just ignored our location, and we had to wait extremely long to order, be served, and pay. It was over an hour after ordering that we received our starter. In addition, the ordinary menu was replaced by an expensive and unnecessary, enforced set menu, with no notice of this when we booked. On that set menu was a dessert, which were told after we had ordered and eaten the first two courses, would cost extra. The menu didn't list a separate price for the dessert at all and heavily implied was part of the package."

"Food was excellent. Not cheap, though I guess this is central London. Surprised that there was no one else in the restaurant all the time we were there, from 6pm onward on a Saturday night. Service was good, not above and beyond. All in all, good choice for a birthday celebration and I would probably go back."

"Victors have changed it is more like a tapas style restaurant where dishes arrive at different time. Just very unorganised some people in the party received their food 30 minutes after the rest of the party had finished. Waitress was nice and very pleasant but the kitchen were unable to accommodate any slight change to a dish. Wouldn’t go back or recommend."

"The service wasn't great. No one seemed to know what they were doing. We ate Asian inspired and the salt and chilli chicken was so try it was hard to eat. The raspberry daiquiri was very bitter so not great. We were at an event in the radisson so was great that we could have something so close but all 8 of us wernt really impressed at all. We attend the radisson alot so maybe this time was just due to festive period qa we beverage really had problems before x Suzanne"

"It was my sons birthday we thought we would all go as a family. The staff was extremely rude when my husband was asking if any dish came with a teamed vegetables the staff dis not advise or guide as to what to order when the next table behind us asked the same question and they were helped because they were English white? We experienced racism in the staff. I mentioned to the staff I had an operation and had a tumour removed and told the staff I am unable to have any ice in my drinks the staff said we can not make virgin pinacolada without ice where I thought that they needed to crush the ice in the machine, I also mentioned that other restaurants do give me the sake drink without ice even if its a little less I am happy with that. Anyway thr drink came out and had lots of icecubes in the drink, I still told the staff I can't have it with ice. The staff was even more rude. I also asked for green Thai curry and was bought out red Thai curry.. The treatment we got as a family was very disgusting from the staff especially one member.he kept saying No to everything when we asked what did we need to order as an additional. I have always been going to this restaurant for years with friends, bit not happy that me and my husband were treated like we were not wanted there."

"Very poor. More like a takeaway with tables. Didn’t have the options advertised on their website. Order via a QR code and pay upfront. No waiting staff- just servers. Food took half an hour to come and it all comes at once (starters mains) and then the drinks came after. Food was edible but nothing special. Toilets weren’t clean. I will never go back"

"I was searching for a restaurant for a pre-theatre meal and a special place to celebrate my husband's birthday. The ambience and authenticity were fantastic, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing, we opted for the set menu priced at £35 per person. The quality of the food was outstanding, but we wished there were more dishes and larger portions per person. For example, we ordered the teriyaki salmon and there was only one piece that we had to share. I felt that since we were paying per person, the portions should have been more equal. However, the dessert was delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and visit again, but I would be more cautious with my food choices. It is a perfect location for a pre-theatre meal near the Royal Albert Hall."

"I made a reservation for New Year's Eve and received an email confirmation. After checking the menu link provided, we knew exactly what we wanted. However, when we arrived at 9:30 PM, we discovered that the menu had been changed to a fixed four-course meal, which cost almost double what we had anticipated! I asked the waiter why we hadn't been informed of this change, but he simply said, "That's just how it is." Overall, it was a disappointing experience with poor service, and I won't be returning."

"Very disappointing experience. Took 3 hours to get through our meal. It went wrong when the starter arrived an hour in it was cold as if it had been sitting out for a long while. We did get this changed but I had to go to the concierge as there was no one to call back to the table. We then waited another 1.5 hours to get our main, they brought warm plates about 45 minutes before the food turned up so plates were cold by the time the food arrived, Food was ok, had much better in other branches of this chain and in other Thai restaurants. We will not be returning,"

"Terrible customer service. At 10:50, one of the waiters came to tell us that they were closing in 10 minutes. At 10:51 they brought us the bill and then at 10:52 they started taking the payment. They were basically kicking us out of the restaurant. I removed the service charge (which is optional), for the same and they then came and took the plates away when I was STILL eating. Disgraceful and extremely poor customer service. I do NOT recommend this place at all."

"Stunning pub stunning location! I used to work nearby (from September 2013 to February 2017) and I would always look forward to lunchtime visits here in the summer. I’m told it was common for the production team filming nearby episodes of Midsummer Murders to drink here, and I can see why! I have lots of good memories with former work colleagues here. Highly recommended"

"city z made an online booking for the table as we just came after the work and watched a comedy show in the place. the staff was very friendly, we met an American lady who made the best cocktails and took her time with them and they were the best tasting cocktails. who were at the beginning of the night, so I would strongly recommend when they are there asking them to make a cocktails, they will not regret it. the cocktails after leaving so great, and they have happy hour til 8 clock and their friends were pacious, so we ordered from their menu. the nachos were in order, it was slightly salty and the actual tasting butter, which we ordered the bark and chickens were very nice and tasty the hummus was good and the brot was really fresh. the chicken wings were in order, I think the only thing missing was ketchup and mayonnaise, but at this point I began to get busy what I forget to bring it, but not a big thing, but at the end."
