O'Shio Japanese and Korean Restaurant Reviews Summary

Food Quality and Variety

Pros:

• "One of the best sushi & sashimi you can get in Southern UK. The raw fish are fresh and tasty."
• "Everything was fresh, delicious and great portions."
• "The Korean spicy pot with a very original taste."
• "The kimchi stew?! I think it is, it’s the best of all the dish and it tastes so warm, spicy with the rice!!"
• "The food was superb and tasted very authentic!"
• "Incredible white prawn sushi, fried chicken (the sweet soya sauce was possibly the best wings I’ve ever had)."
• "The sushi is incredibly fresh; I also tried the new sashimi carpaccio for starter this time which was AMAZING."
• "We had a beef rib soup.it didn't taste fresh. The meat disintegrated into tiny pieces and had a strong taste of beef fat."

Cons:

• "The only thing that doesn’t go well on the rice is that, some exceptional pieces of fish are really solid and hard."
• "6 pieces of spicy tuna sushi, it’s approx. £12-13 which was a bit pricey, and it doesn’t really taste exceptionally good."
• "The maki did come a little warm, which was odd as I've usually had sushi either at room temperature or slightly cooler."
• "The Prawn Tempura was not freshly made to order (bought from wholesaler I am sure)."
• "Their food were really salty to the point we had to ask for a refill of water."
• "Sushi rice was still slightly warm and all pieces were different sizes and falling apart."
• "My sushi was really disappointing. It didn’t seem fresh."
• "I found it quite overpriced and overrated. The dining area was very cramped and uncomfortable to move around."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "The staff were really friendly and accommodating with our dog."
• "Service was great and nice atmosphere inside."
• "Lovely boss prepared a table for us again, very nice of her."
• "The server kindly explained the flavour of each sake."
• "The staff are so friendly and accommodating, their suggestions have ended up being some of our favourite dishes."
• "The staff were very kind and attentive - the manager/owner was very curt... grumpy really... and made us feel a bit unwelcome, rushed and uncomfortable."
• "The service was quick and the staff super lovely."
• "The staff are friendly and quick at their job. The food came out without much of a wait and was very very good."

Cons:

• "Be careful! This restaurant is dangerous! I have the serious food allergy of mushroom and I asked the stuff not to add the mushrooms in my meals... However, there was still some mushrooms in my meal."
• "Firstly they got us the main dishes before the starters. And my food was cold! Service wasn’t the best."
• "Waitress who served us was a bit moody and rude but the other waitresses were really nice."
• "Although they forgot my second drink, the amazing food more than makes up for the mistake."
• "came alone for the dinner with pre-booked table for 2 people(cuz the minimum number for online pre-booking is 2). The waiter said it’s “cheating”!!And he kept annoying me while I was trying to finish my meal."
• "Food was really great except they gave pork to my partner who has been vegan for dietary reasons for over 10 years. When we asked for it to be removed from the bill they still made us pay for it."
• "The worst service I ever had in England! I arrived at 20:20 and one of the waiters gave me the menu... I called three different waiters to take my order and I was ignored for all of them."
• "Tried to book a table for 15 over phone. Women said no and gave no reason and tried to hang up."
