"Food not bad, service terrible. Never been greeted at a restaurant with fewer words been spoke, walked in door said we have a table booked for 2, we just followed the waiter he just pulled a chair out and carried on walking through restaurant so we thought that,s where we must be sitting. Eventually came back and asked if we wanted drink. Ordered starters of spare ribs try eating these without getting a bit mucky no towel or finger bowel was offered so went to loo and washed hands. Had main meals at no time did they ask if our meals were OK, which the food was not bad by the way, shame the bad service over shadowed it. Was never asked if we wanted another drink or if our meals were OK."

The service was terrible; the waiter was extremely rude, and the curry was overly salty. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience.

The food here is consistently excellent, whether you dine in or take it away. I've never had a negative experience, and I highly recommend this restaurant.

I had a great meal with plenty of options to choose from. The service was friendly and attentive, and the drink prices were reasonable. I will definitely be back!

Good food and excellent value. Seating round the back is nicer for an evening meal but perhaps some background music would help the ambience. That being said, for the quality and price this was a great night out!

The food arrived piping hot, and the waitstaff were discreet, polite, and friendly without being intrusive. The portion sizes are generous enough to satisfy even the hungriest of diners. The food was delightful, and I found even I couldn't finish my meal.

I thought the food was excellent and the portions are generous. Try the smoked chicken or the yakitori skewers as a starter, or the katsu curry as a main really nice and really enjoyable. I cannot comment on the quality of the desserts as I couldn't handle that as well. The only quirk was that the place seemed to have an odd jazz cd on. Didn't seem to fit with the general aesthetic.

"I was appalled at the quality of service from the moment I arrived to the moment I left, which was about When I arrived I was not asked if I would like a drink, and I wasn't asked throughout the whole meal. The waitress should have seen on the table that we only had tap water, and asked whether we'd like another drink. Then, we ordered our first round of hot food. I pressed the help button and after waiting for a good minutes for the waitress finally arrived. I felt it was too long. At this point in the evening there were three full tables in the whole restaurant so I thought the amount of time we had to wait was poor. Then the food started coming over, but the food didn't come altogether. A couple of dishes came and then a few more and a few more after that. This meant we didn't all eat together, we ate all at different times. I had ordered two dishes to eat at the same time and they didn't arrive at the same time. Very disappointing. The third order of hot food was beyond a joke. It was clear that one of the two waitress wasn't feeling very well (I overheard one of the chef's telling her to go home). She was our waitress. So, we ordered the third round of hot food. minutes later we still didn't have our food. In this time the chef was talking to the ill waitress. I then pressed the help button and I explained that we'd ordered some food and had been waiting a rather long time. I then look round at the waitress and chef and it was absolutely clear that the order didn't go through so it was only then that the food was starting to be cooked. The waitress who took the order explained that there's been lots of issues and she was sorry. As a customer paying for a meal, I don't care about the issues, I still expected good service and my food to turn up. Overall I thought the service was absolutely terrible. I will not be visiting this restaurant again and I will not be recommending the restaurant to anyone."
