Ambiance and Decor

Pros:

  • "Lovely authentic feel, but could do with the lights lowered or dimmer to create some ambiance."
  • "The atmosphere was calm and cool."
  • "Interiors were tastefully done, even the basement where we ended up eating was cozy."
  • "It's quite small with tables too close to each other but otherwise the atmosphere isn't that bad."
  • "The place looks very nice, so Japanese."
  • "Nice Japanese restaurant in the British Museum area."

Cons:

  • "Inside is very small."
  • "I felt a bit self-conscious the entire time."
  • "Service felt very akin to a busy Chinatown joint rather than an out-of-the-way Japanese gem - they rush you to eat, to pay, they add the mandatory service charge and they wanted to close the downstairs so they literally turned off the lights. At 8:30pm."

Service and Staff

Pros:

  • "Staff were very friendly and helpful."
  • "The waiters were kinda awkward but they were sweet."
  • "Service was fine, wasn't particularly outstanding or bad overall."
  • "The older male server and the lady there were nice enough."
  • "The service is lovely - plenty of staff who are very kind."
  • "The service was outstandingly good. I was coughing a lot when I dine there and the staff came to offer me hot water and put lemon inside."

Cons:

  • "But the food was very bad, at least what I ate."
  • "But I wouldn’t come back because of that."
  • "There were cute booths that would've been nice for a party of 3 but we were rudely told a stern NO by their youngest member of staff."
  • "The younger man was really rude. You'd get better value at Eat Tokyo."
  • "Food was really good, the service was also fine, just the last time I went there, the boss (I think he was the boss) was feeling nervous, I didn't know why."
  • "They didn’t have my reservation when I arrived."

Food Quality and Variety

Pros:

  • "Highly recommend the Dragon Rolls."
  • "The rest of the food was good."
  • "A small friendly Japanese restaurant. I enjoyed a delicious Chicken Teriyaki and my son had a delicious beef dish."
  • "Stoped by before the British museum! Great choice, fish was fresh, tasty and descent portions."
  • "Exceeded our expectations. Fresh and delicious sushi rolls."
  • "Really top Japanese food."

Cons:

  • "The Miso soup tasted like hot water with a light flavour of something."
  • "A little bit disappointed that they used frozen seafood instead of fresh seafood for the soba."
  • "The sushi overall was fresh, but it just wasn't the top quality."
  • "The Miso soup was below average, couldn't taste the miso at all."
  • "The pumpkin croquettes ver tasteless."
  • "The fried ebi was really burnt though so avoid that if possible."

Price and Value

Pros:

  • "For the price of £20.99 this was very worth it though so it's still pretty good. Portion was huge as well."
  • "If you want a simple and tasty meal after leaving the British Museum, this place ticks the boxes."
  • "The Bento Box are so generous and delicious for a more than fair price! The one is the picture is £22 (including miso soup and rice on side!)"
  • "I paid £20 for a sashimi and sushi bento box and it was the best £20 I ever spent."
  • "Highly recommended for dinner and look forward to coming back and trying the bento boxes as a quick,cheap lunchtime option."
  • "Great value for good quality Japanese food."

Cons:

  • "Cost £120 with drinks for about 8 or 9 plates and bowls."
  • "They may also have increased their price because it’s more expensive than the photos posted earlier."
  • "The standard of food here has really dropped since I came 8 months ago."
  • "Food was really good, but this is definitely a one off."
  • "The prices were nice as well."
  • "Overall, a nice Japanese restaurant in London that I would recommend."
