Atmosphere and Ambiance
Pros:
"On my first visit to Yakinori in Bristol, I was immediately struck by the inviting atmosphere the moment I stepped through the door."
"This is a great restaurant in Bristol! Atmosphere is chill and Restaurant Manager Prajith is doing a great job."
"Great place! Stumbled upon this place while looking for somewhere to eat - Yakinori caught my eye and I’m so pleased it did!"
"The atmosphere in the restaurant was pleasant and the food was reasonably priced. Will definitely be back!"
"We were greeted and served by friendly, attentive and helpful staff who made us feel very welcome."
"The food was insanely delicious and really good value for money. The atmosphere was also great."
"I always like going there as it is quite tasty but as I noticed it is heavily dependent if the chef had prepared your meal."
"This is my first time trying out a Japanese cuisine. Luckily, it didn't go wrong. Everyone treated us so nicely."
Cons:
"The only downside was that the rice ball was a little chewy. Lin who served us, and the other staff were really genuinely friendly and attentive."
"Went for some takeaway sushi and the waiter convinced us to eat in instead. I came with some boba tea from another store and the waiter clearly saw this. Then another waiter very rudely asked me to tip away my tea."
"Service was very slow, prioritising Deliveroo orders over eat-in customers. Incorrect order arrived after the wait, but friendly staff resolved the issue."
"The food was okay; we went on a '50% off for certain dishes' day. If I had of paid full price I would have been pretty disappointed!"
"The service was friendly if a bit slow."
"Service was friendly and professional! The food was phenomenal in particular the gyoza which I thought was sublime! Well located in centre, plenty of paid parking off park street and would definitely recommend to everyone!"
"Service was alright, clean place and all. But if you're by any means a 'weird person' then I don't reccomend going as the staff seem judgemental."
"We ate here today and couldn't fault a single moment. We were greeted and served by friendly, attentive and helpful staff who made us feel very welcome."
Food Quality and Taste
Pros:
"As for the food, it absolutely lived up to the high standard set by the service. The menu offered a variety of choices that catered to different tastes and dietary requirements."
"Food was super tasty and very filling. We had a starter and a main and was more than enough."
"The food was delicious. Tasted to fresh and portion sizes were great - really good for the amount paid."
"We learnt how to make all different types of sushi and everything was delicious."
"The food was delicious, and Aparna, our server, was outstanding."
"Delicious food and came quickly. We had a mixture of starters to share so had a taste of a number of things."
"Visited there to grab sashimi nigiri and rolls. Food came out quickly and the price was reasonable for the amount you receive."
"The food was amazing, the environment was delightful and the staff very friendly and helpful."
Cons:
"The only issue I've had here was that the second time I came here, we were charged twice and were treated very rudely by one of the kitchen staff when we pointed that out."
"Food was ok. More chicken but worse rice than Katsu in Wagamama. Poke bowls had fresh ingredients and the flexibility to build your own was good."
"The portion sizes and quality do not represent the cost at all! £12.50 for a small noodle box is a joke!"
"Very pricey not much on the plate. Sushi was too expensive for quality and quantity we ordered."
"The sushi in the photo was £22.75!!"
"The food was nice, especially the Chicken Bento box and prawn katsu curry."
"It was nice. Good selection of food but rather busy as they operate both a takeout and eat in option."
"The food was okay; we went on a '50% off for certain dishes' day. If I had of paid full price I would have been pretty disappointed!"
Service and Staff
Pros:
"The team greeted us with genuine warmth, creating a pleasant dining environment from start to finish."
"Came in yesterday and had Terry serve us. He made my dining in experience amazing. A real friendly, kind and patient character who was lovely to chat too."
"Thank you to Chef Santi and Ritu for a memorable morning!"
"Everyone was so friendly and especially Aparna she was so nice to us. She explained the menu clearly and helped us throughout with a warm smile."
"Restaurant Manager Prajith is doing a great job, he is very helpful and I have experienced that he and his team main priority is to make his customers happy."
"I had a fantastic dining experience. The food was delicious, and Aparna, our server, was outstanding."
"The staff were really attentive and present."
"The shift manager was excellent and so friendly. Will definitely be returning!"
Cons:
"However, we have experienced several instances of staff who were clearly stressed, resulting in things like being rushed out when ordering to take away."
"I ordered a hot green tea, but it was actually not hot at all. Same as miso soup."
"The waitress was very nice but the manager seemed rude and very short with people, his own staff too."
"Waitress didn't leave me utensils (then proceeded to go for a long chat with one of her friends), one of the chefs then started telling me off for this."
"Took almost 15-20 minutes to get served as it was busy, then another 10 minutes to get some water, I ordered a sirloin steak ramen, half of the steak was fat."
"It was very busy but we have been served very quick. Do recommend"
"Sweet potato croquettes were a great Wagamama imitation (like the menu design). However, they mixed up our orders."
"The staff were really friendly and welcoming when I visited and remembered me on my second visit."
