"I have been going to this pub restaurant for over twenty years. Yesterday I went with a friend having booked for 12 noon. Although the staff were inside and could see people at the front door it was just after noon before they let us in. Staff were fine and it was when we were seated that we were told there was a problem with the kitchen and a reduced menu. Anyway we both ordered burgers and shockingly mine arrived with a bite taken out of it. I didn’t want to make a scene as they had other customers but spoke to the staff and they replaced it. And no charge. No one could explain how it happened. They said they spoke to the chef and waiter How can something like this happen. Really upset and reluctant to return even after years of happy Sundays spent there."

Nice setting, along side the river. Unfortunately the weather was too cool to sit outside. The friendly staff were very accommodating and reseated us inside. The restaurant is well decorated and is a step up from a standard pub.

I ordered a rump steak. But it was clearly a sirloin. The fat trim was round the back and was very thin. I’m from a family of butchers and know a cut of steak. It was missing the onion rings as well. I will be ringing the pub tomorrow to find out what happened. The waiting staff wasn’t to blame they was nothing but pleasant!

we have always been loyal customers of the albany, but were extremely disappointed about our visit yesterday 21 april service was not existent-long waiting for meal and eating, and when it was served it was not possible. had gone with friends who had proposed the restaurant - so very annoying. the situation is beautiful, but regrettably eating and the service do not fit.

Last time excellent couldn't have enjoyed it more. This time however, service poor, except for the waiter who was excellent. Drinks brought separately i.e. couple at a time, plates etc. not removed before main course arrived. Main courses ok except the Meditteranean Mezza Flatbread was basically a pizza with tomato and cucumber. Main course not cleared before deserts delivered. I will put it down to a long busy day and it won't stop us visiting The ALBANY Thames Ditton again. BUT I am watching! lol

"Obon: a petit Japanese udon restaurant that supplies a sense of Japan that cannot be found anywhere else in the whole of the Uk. (5 stars) Location: Obon is located close to the heart of Kingston but the road it’s on is considerably quieter. You must make sure to have a basic knowledge of Kingston in order to find an area to park and to also make sure you leave yourself enough time, taking the unpredictability of the traffic into acount. Even on a week day there can be traffic jams which can put a halt to your plans and due to the small amount of customers Obon can take its important that you not only book but make sure that you arrive at the agreed booking time. With this being said the staff are all lovely so if you are running late, a quick call is all that is required to just give Obon a chance to understand your position. The food: The array of exquisitely prepared sashimi will be sure to create the sensation that you are in a top Japanese restaurant in japan and the flavour of the fish does not fail to match expectations, which will be very high after just one glance at your meal. The fish is delicately seasoned and practically melts on your tongue, this causes a lovely sensation and is genuinely the finest sushi I have tasted in the uk and even matches a lot of the top restaurants in japan. On top of just the traditional types of sushi, which to many is maki rolls Obon also offers many other delicious options such as soft shell crab and even Unagi don, which I must highly recommend due to it consistently being the highlight of my meal. For those of you that were interested in the quality of the basic Japanese dishes such as miso soup or edamame they do not fail to leave you in grand anticipation for what is to come for they are, simply speaking, incredibly good. The miso, in my opinion, is truly remarkable and creates a lasting feeling of warmth throughout your entire body, on top of that it is far superior to other miso’s that I have tasted in all other areas of the world. Overall the quality of the food is something you would expect from a world famous Michelin star restaurant and if you want Japanese food it’s the only place I can recommend. The Restaurant: The restaurant itself is small but authentic in nature and because it only has a enough tables to host around 20 people at the most, the service is exceptionally good and your food is always out quickly so you will not be left hungry for very long. The staff are kind and friendly. And it’s always an enjoyable experience being waves goodbye as you leave the restaurant. You’re also able to watch as they prepare the food, which for some could be entertaining. There are Japanese photos scattered around the room and this further creates an authentic feel. The atmosphere is not lively but it is a restaurant and not a bar so is an ideal location if you are wanting high quality food. With this being said it is still a great place to go with friends and I consistently am able to have a great time no matter the occasion. Price: Obviously, the price of the food is always an important topic to come to and despite the cost of the sushi being slightly higher than you may expect from a small restaurant in Kingston, I would have to say that for the quality of the food it is ultimately a bargain. For three people, you would be spending around £100 so it isn’t cheap but you can go for cheaper types of food such as udon, which is still amazing quality and won’t set you back as much money. Overall: Obon is still my favourite restaurant in the whole of the Uk and is perfect for a special occasion but it isn’t the sort of place you’d go for a casual night out. The food is beyond incredible and thus they can cater for both children and adults by meeting every bodies needs. For anybody that enjoys sushi, I would urge you to give it a go, you won’t regret it"
