"I 've been to Nanban before and loved it but this meal was marred by poor service and one very rude waitress. Everything was fine until we were brought the menu for a second time to look at desserts and then no one came to take our order. We were sat in a corner at the front and another couple were also waiting to order their mains. I had to wave to get the waitress 's attention for both tables in the end. It was pretty irritating. A different waitress then brought us the green teas we had ordered and announced that usually, customers were only allowed to stay at a table for two hours but she wanted to let us know that she 'd checked with her manager and it was ok for us to stay and finish our drinks. When I tried to point out to her that the only reason we 'd taken so long was because no one came to serve us, she spoke over me and kept saying: 'I 'm telling you that it 's ok to stay ' as if she was doing us a favour. I asked to speak to the manager who is a lovely guy but I don 't think anyone really understood why the situation was so annoying. If you want to get customers through your restaurant in a couple of hours then try serving them faster."

The waiter was great to give recommendations and sit on the counter was a great experience!

Was a lovely restaurant, however we felt a bit rushed ie ordering food and finishing off dessert.
Hollie
tables far too close together, I felt at 3 other couple dates. Overall, eating is very salty and there is not enough sorting. rams all tasted very similar, only not the best place I've ever been.

A beautiful Japanese restaurant with some really great food. I can't recommend the third best Scotch Egg in London enough. The staff was great, the atmosphere was alive. All in all a good experience, would go happy again.

Drinks didn’t arrive until we’d already started our food and and the lady who took us to our seats didn’t crack a smile once. However it was a really busy, buzzy night and the food was really tasty. Glad we went but wouldn’t rush back.

The menu looks great and it would be delicious, but the actual food is not very nice. Neither were any of the cocktails and even the gin and the tonic I had, was not very sure hard to get wrong!? I thought it must be cheap gin or flat tonic. V. disappointment.

Hi, I came with a high expectation of food. I had a soup of the day and I ask the waitress (who was really kind) to change the soup because the fish was not fresh. I think I will try to come one more time but it is definitely not the best experience I had in London. The staff is really nice and I will thank them for it! Best, Giovanna

Above all, the service was just awful. Told we would get a jug of water soon after we sat down. After asking twice again we received 2 small glass of tepid tap water. Received the wrong drinks, and the food, well, it was ok, but not what was expected of 'the best restaurant in Brixton ' as some feedback had implied. In fact if that was s the case then the rest of Brixton must be very average indeed. It was not that I was expecting fine dining, but just that I expected the food to have something a little special. It did not, and since the service was so poor, it took so long to get anything, and yet they still added automatically 12.5%, I thought the whole package very unimpressive; not terri...
