"I remember when I was younger the idea of eating raw fish seemed quite strange and at that time it wasn’t hugely popular in the UK but in my late teens eventually sushi boxes started to take the place of sandwiches, Yo! Sushi became a regular haunt and I started to fall in love with Japanese food. My sister was my partner is sushi-crime and we loved the fun of the Japanese ‘Kaiten’ and sharing selection boxes from Marks Spencer and other high street places. But soon our fondness for sushi rolls meant we wanted to try the real deal. Back then there wasn’t the plethora of sushi restaurants in London that there is now but we set our sights on the very best…Nobu, Old Park Lane. Once there we clumsily held our chopsticks and we feasted on the freshest succulent sashimi, marvellous maki rolls and crisp shrimp tempura.And then the black cod arrived, the delicious flesh of the fish marinated in miso, had a sweet, buttery taste on the tongues of us young sushi novices…it was incredible…that was it…we were hooked. I’ve now revisited Nobu Old Park Lane many times, always remembering it was the first time I ever had proper sushi…But Nobu has become a bit of an addiction for me and not only do I also love the Berkeley Street branch in London but I’ve actually visited Nobu restaurants on four different continents. My favourite being Nobu Malibu, a beautiful open restaurant where you can sit nibbling on edamame beans whilst taking in a stunning view of the ocean."

"After eagerly anticipating the opening of Ohisama, having known Indika from his time at Atari-ya, I can confidently say that the wait was well worth it! Everything at Ohisama is top-notch, from the service to the delectable dishes and the meticulous care that is put into the preparation, quality, and presentation of the Indian cuisine. The location is also ideal, situated on the bustling road near Chiltern Firehouse, between Baker Street and Marylebone High Street."

"I made a reservation at Nobu based on my positive experience at the London location, and since it was my birthday, we decided to try Nobu Doha. The cocktails were excellent, but the edamame and pumpkin chips we ordered for starters were underwhelming. My spicy crab and my husband's wagyu steak were both disappointing, lacking flavor and presentation. The service was lacking, with a cold main course and a manager who did not check on our experience. Despite mentioning my birthday twice, we did not receive a birthday cake. The highlight of the meal was the sake, edamame, and cocktails. Overall, we felt that the meal was not worth the price we paid. We ended up going to the Hilton at the Pearl, where the staff turned my birthday night around."

"After making an online reservation for a table, I arrived at the restaurant only to find it was closed. Given the numerous messages in their inbox, it was clear they had not been operating for quite some time. This restaurant should be removed from listings, as it is no longer in business."
