"My son and I, aged 12, decided to treat ourselves before he started high school. We made a reservation online, which was straightforward. Upon arrival, the restaurant was not busy, but we had to wait for over 5 minutes before we were assisted by a young lady. She was not impolite, but she didn't seem very cheerful either. Fortunately, a different server took care of us during our meal. He was friendly, made great recommendations, and provided efficient service. The food was delicious - my son thoroughly enjoyed his salmon with teriyaki sauce, giving it a 5-star rating. My duck was cooked to medium and was tasty, although slightly chewy. We had a few glasses of wine, and the total bill came to just under £90 for the both of us. In my opinion, it was a bit on the expensive side, but it was a nice treat for a special occasion."

"I took my mother to the Two Sisters restaurant for her birthday last Sunday. We were immediately greeted and informed about the brunch options (i.e. buffet versus brunch specials and other adjustments, such as turkey bacon instead of pork). I think this is a great place for a relaxed brunch and definitely for a mother-daughter date. We loved the food and the service. We drove to a Groupon and will definitely drive again without the Groupon. Worth it."

"We have travelled in Japan and we are serious fans of Japanese food but we recognise that this means we can be difficult to please, because we have some knowledge of what to expect of a good Japanese meal. This was definitely a good meal! The deep fried aubergine in a delicious sweet sauce was especially outstanding, and the tempura prawns and vegetables were excellent. There are some Korean dishes on the menu too. Well done Yoshi Sushi we'll be back..."

"I wondered why this restaurant described itself on the board outside as ‘fusion’, why there were so many Korean dishes on the menu and why the serving staff have heard of Asahi beer but haven’t heard of The Asahi Shimbun, a Japanese daily newspaper that is at least 50 years old. The answer is that the Akasaka website isn’t being completely honest when it describes their Northampton branch as a Japanese restaurant. They aren’t really Japanese, although some of their menu items are clearly Japanese. Don’t let that put you off, however, as they are serving excellent food and we enjoyed our meal there very much. It cost us about £70 (inc. 10% tip) for our meal for two people including a 175ml glass of Sauvignon Blanc for my lovely wife and two 330ml bottles of Asahi Dry for me. The sushi was excellent, the edamame beans were great but we didn’t feel that the Dolsot Bibimbap (a Korean dish with loads of rice, some shredded vegetables, prawns and a fried egg on top) offered very good value for money at just under sixteen pounds. We would recommend Akasaka in Northampton and would certainly go there again, but if we want a genuinely Japanese meal, prepared and served by Japanese staff, then we will be sticking to Ginza Restaurant on Wellingborough Road in Northampton. Don’t like the way that the male members of staff at Sakura on Bridge Street speak to their female colleagues, very disrespectful, so we avoid that Japanese restaurant nowadays. Great to have a choice of three Japanese restaurants in Northampton post-pandemic, and our favourite of the three is Ginza."

"We have been to Japan many times and this was our first visit to Kicho. (Almost) everything worked for us here. Food/ambience/service: everything is absolutely authentically Japanese, reduced to the essentials and as far away as possible from the hip Thai/Wok/Sushi/Fusion restaurants, where the main focus is often on Instagram-friendly presentation and a lack of quality under dry ice. Steam and the sushi is buried under thick sauces. The only point of criticism: the daily dessert on the menu was frozen, which was a bit of a shame considering the rest of the quality."

"Absolutely average restaurant. Dirty bamboo table mats and super dirty windows, kinda sad to look out of them. Impatient service, who under 6 minutes 5 times came back trying to pressure me to take my order. I was confused as I thought it was a restaurant not a fast food place. Silly me who used to live in Japan though the menu is just like there, with pictures. How wrong I was...So getting my phone to have a look at their website, what kinda different that in the restaurant menu card one. When I tried to ask for reconditions, I didn't get any, she just straight away took the last what I asked. The steamed algae was very nice, but my noodle soup was a big surprise, as I have no idea what's roasted (burned) pepper and massive chunks of onions doing there? It's supposed to be sea food, but instead just some burned vegetables scared with frozen octopus, mussels and mini calamari rings poured up with chicken broth. So yeah, kinda disappointing. Drink wise I asked the waitress do they have any tonic water as it isn't listed on the menu card, she looked at me like I am a weirdo. I asked for Roku gin what is my favourite. On the receipt was counted as an extra pound because Japanese. Lol, no comment. Getting the drinks, from other restaurants you get the spirit on the rocks in the glass and front of you they pouring the mixer drink from the mini bottle. Here not, just straight away together as it comes. Oh and don't bother asking without lemon, because you are getting one either way. So Akasaka restaurant did not become my favourite one. Once and last. Easily can be forgotten. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £20–30 Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4"

"really beautiful decoration atmosphere. but coming from a city, were Japanese eating is top class and moving to england I find misugo a bit over price. the sushi is beautiful, but not as high quality, the fried gyoza tastes really good, but the katsu curry tasted like a microwave dinner with 2kg rice, my own Japanese curry tastes better. I always go back here and hope that I find something new because it is hard to find good japaners in my opposite, and the staff is lovely, but eating is only average for the price they pay."

"This was my first visit and for my first visit, I brought alone my family and best friend and his family. As we all love Japanese food, our expectation was high. There was a great selection to choose from which also caters for people who is not a Sushi fan with rice, noodles and BBQ meals. The service was great, not too short, where you keep asking for more time, and not too long where you wished you went somewhere else. The food arrived hot and very well presented and you best come hungry as there is plenty of it. The Sushi is really fresh and very tasty. I would highly recommend this restaurant for value for money, great food and friendly surrounding."

"We were travelling from London for a night in Weston, and were so disappointed with food choices in Weston Super Mare. And then we came across Ebisu. It’s a small Japanese restaurant hidden away on Regent street. It was Saturday evening and we wanted an early dinner, luckily there was a table for two available for us. Restaurant is small, and tables become hard to come by as most are reserved in advance. Decor is tastily minimalistic, simple and clean, we loved hand painted wallpaper. We ordered Chicken Karaage and Ebisu cauliflower to wake up our taste buds, and Salmon donburi and Crispy potato Katsu for our mains. Many Japanese restaurants make compromises, this one didn’t. Food was superb and authentic, portions were generous, each served fresh slaw of daikon and carrot or salad leaves, each bite you took was superbly flavoursome. We were particularly impressed with Ebisu Cauliflower. We can honestly say that this one is one of best Japanese we have eaten for a long time. If you love Japanese food, this one is for you, do book in advance. We will be back."

"We had a Japanese friend staying with us who had not had a Japanese meal in England before. We decided to try this Japanese restaurant as a takeaway and ordered several dishes. Our friend rated the meal overall as a 6 out of 10. I...would agree with her. The dishes were cooked to the Western palate and had a little too much sugar added making the fried udon, teriyaki chicken and fried aubergine all too sweet for the Asian palate. However, we will still visit the restaurant in future. We will make a point to request the chef to reduce the amount of sugar and salt."

"I made a reservation for 5:30 PM tonight two days ago and drove over from Liverpool with my elderly parents, only to find the restaurant completely closed and boarded up. This is absolutely unacceptable. Why would you take a booking if you aren't open for business? I went into the shops on either side of the restaurant to inquire, and they informed me that many people have been facing the same issue for weeks, including some who were charged for takeaway food only to discover that the restaurant was not operating. I am incredibly outraged. I also tried calling the phone numbers for both the Hale and Knutsford locations, but neither connected. I strongly advise you to AVOID this place at all costs."

"I went with my friend and my toddler and I was impressed how kid friendly this place was. There was a small buggy park (which would only fit one maybe two prams but rare to find at all in restaurants), baby changing, highchairs and a kids menu. It is up a flight of stairs though if you are bringing a buggy but the waiter was so kind and immediately offered to help me with the buggy. All the waiters and waitresses were absolutely lovely, they were so attentive and helpful. Really kind and friendly. The food was delicious, I had the chickpea and aubergine stew with naan and it was lovely and warming on a cold winter’s day. My daughter very much enjoyed her meal which came with complimentary juice which she very much appreciated! My friend also had the stew and really liked it too. A really lovely spot and brilliant for kids, I felt so welcomed and everyone was so kind and helpful with my daughter."

"This Japanese restaurant serves delicious food! I have visited multiple times and have always been satisfied. The service is excellent and the dishes are wonderful. We tried the vegetable ramen and salmon bento, both of which were not only generous in portion size but also incredibly affordable. The food arrived at our table within 10 minutes of ordering, and we were impressed by the efficiency. Our bill came to around 40 pounds for dinner for two, including drinks. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in search of quick and delicious Japanese cuisine."

"I have a lot of the taro restaurant, its terrace is beautiful, similar in barcelona have nothing to envy. but despite being one of the most glamorous restaurants I think in barcelona there are many like the one I said before they offer for very cheap prices high quality menus, if you look at the traditional menu of perpicar has tremendous tapas and Japanese combinations!"

"Proper authentic Asian food in the heart of Guildford. Not fancy or overpriced, but homely and down to earth. The bibimbap is the best I've had for a while served in a proper hot stone bowl and the sushi and gyoza are excellent as well. One of my favourite places in Guildford to eat. One small thing I'd change and which I always like in Asian owned restaurants is free or endless tea of some kind if you order a meal. I'm also not a fan of ordering via an app you do have the option of ordering from a member of staff though. Part of the eating experience for me is the social aspect and also chatting to the serving staff for recommendations etc. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5"

"We had a 6pm booking and service started approximately 6:25. Our server was very nice, professional and quick after a delayed start. The food was very good, and we enjoyed both the food and service. After a very nice meal with a variety of starters, sushi, maki, we were ready to consider dessert. At 7:30pm, a different server came to our table and told us that we had to leave because they had another booking for our table. This was after they had just seated another party of 4 without a booking at the table next to ours. The server was extremely rude and unprofessional. There was no notice about a 90 minute time period prior. After spending £227 on our bill we were made to feel unwelcome and were hurried out the door. Even though the food was good, and we live locally in Richmond, we will never return after this experience. As a family of four people, to be told to leave technically after an hour of service is absurd. They will not be successful if the unprofessional service and attitude continues. Really unfortunate and bad experience."

"This restaurant is a hidden gem. The service was excellent as we were attended to by the same gentleman throughout our meal. He was softly spoken and not intrusive, yet very attentive to our needs. He promptly refilled our drinks and offered us additional cutlery without us having to ask. The food exceeded our initial expectations, especially considering the reasonable prices of £8-15 for a main course."

"I've been to this place so many times and it's been always amazing. We start with Special Sashimi, every single piece was perfect, really tasty. The best two ones were fatty tuna and scallops. After that Vegetable Gyoza and spicy scallop roll, then udon noodles. At the end green tea ice cream. During the dinner a bottle of Italian wine, Soave. It was very fresh and good. Service is the only thing that it could be better. Anyway this is the best Japanese I have ever tried. It's so close to the real Japanese. This restaurant is definitely recommended!"
