Food Quality

"Chirashi is my favourite and this one is beyond amazing."

"The sashimi was not quite up to scratch, in my view."
"Food was good, but the sushi was better than the cooked food."
"Unfortunately, I was very disappointed and felt seriously ripped off at the restaurant."
"The sashimi was only 'good', not excellent."
"The food was below average and some of it was borderline inedible (miso soup)."
"The more expensive the fish, the thinner they slice it."

Cons:

"Service was lackluster and we had a hard time communicating, with several mistake orders."
"The service wasn't great, they made mistakes and didn't bother to apologize."
"We were rushed the entire time we spent in the restaurant."
"They just rush through everything to have the table back as soon as possible."
"Rude staff, poor quality, and sashimi was too cold!"
"At one point, in the middle of dinner, they kicked us and another table next to us out just because they were closing."
"We were rushed from the beginning in a mostly empty restaurant."
"The service was poor, my partner had finished eating his beef donburi before my nigiri set arrived."
"Food is OK, but staff is not friendly."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Unagi don is at par with most other Japanese restaurants, but cheaper than most of them (£15.99) so it's good value for money."
"The sashimi was amazing, we particularly love the yellow tail fish. Grilled eel was delicious too. Definitely recommend this restaurant for a date night."
"We had three sets of sushi, lovely and fresh, the grilled aubergine, perfectly cooked with an unusual sauce, and the grilled salmon teriyaki, also excellent."
"Great food and a really relaxed atmosphere."
Cons:
"Prices are mid-high, we paid 75£ with just water and we were not full and taste was standard."
"More expensive than other places with limited choice."
"Overpriced; could spend the same amount at high-quality restaurants like Cube."
"30 quid for some sashimi and soft shell crab maki rolls seems like more than daylight robbery."
"The quality of the food and ambience was simply average, overpriced, and we left hungry."
