Food Quality and Variety
Pros:
"The food is incredible, tastes amazing and very filling!"
"Food was unreal! Huge portion sizes!"
"The food was really really lovely. Especially the fried cauliflower."
"The Korean Fried Chicken should replace every KFC!!"
"Everything we ate was delicious, and the whiskey after was very moorish."
"The Korean fried chicken, mapo tofu and chicken katsu curry arancini balls were all excellent."
"The food was fantastic, we enjoyed everything we ate and would highly recommend this restaurant."
"The food was so worth the wait, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful."
Cons:
"Salmon sashimi- ponzu sauce very watery, tasteless and adds nothing to the dish."
"Mussles- yes, in kimchi sauce but dish was quite tasteless. Mussles very tiny."
"The aubergine sushi wasn’t as flavourful as I’d hoped but would be improved with a spicy mayo."
"The ribs weren’t great. Unfortunately, they didn’t have a rice cooker so we couldn’t try to the sushi."
"The kimchi fries were cooked well but they lacked much in flavour."
"Korean fried chicken: disappointed they used chicken breast, was crunchy not because fried nice but over fried and was dry."
"Salmon sashimi: salmon not cold enough."
"The veggie Bento was one of THE BEST meals I have ever had!! Also the Kimchi fries!"
Service and Staff Attitude
Pros:
"Staff are really friendly! Food was unreal!"
"The staff are nice and friendly and the food is served incredibly fast!"
"Can't really fault the service, the team are friendly and polite."
"Throughout our whole dining experience Martha was extremely nice and helped us when ordering."
"Staff were friendly, efficient and accommodating."
"The staff were very patient with my ridiculous allergies."
"Heard other people's recommendations and was not disappointed. This is the place I will tell anyone to go. Great service and great food."
"The food is so worth the wait, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful."
Cons:
"Service was very lacklustre. Staff seem apathetic. No smiles. No check ups."
"A little too relaxed for my liking. Service was a little too slow."
"Only criticisms would be how rushed the service felt."
"We were recommended to have 3/4 dishes each but in the end it was at least 4 plates per person totally £35 per person for food only, not including desserts or drinks."
"Unfortunately had to give 3 stars for the service. We were a bit forgotten and had to try to catch the waitresses eyes for every step of the meal."
"The service wasn't particularly good. It was often difficult to get served."
"The customer service was far from great. One person was super friendly but everyone else treated us like we were an inconvenience."
"Not sure why this place gets so many good reviews. The food is mediocre and the staff have managed to achieve the “perfect” combination of both ignoring their customers and being rude when you do finally manage to get someone’s attention."
Ambiance and Location
Pros:
"Located in the second floor as container rooftop, this resto has indoor and outdoor seats."
"Very busy and fun place to eat. A simple but really interesting menu."
"The atmosphere was lovely. Book to go here, do not skip on this place!"
"Beautiful food. Shared 5 small plates between 2 and every one was amazing."
"Really cool little eatery upstairs in the Wapping Wharf area."
"Service was friendly and timely, atmosphere very good with the flickering fires and street food aesthetic."
"Love the vibe, love the street food."
"Fantastic choice of interesting dishes and friendly, helpful staff."
Cons:
"Definitely would not recommend this place. I know the interior is meant to feel rustic but tables were not clean nor were the side plates."
"Food comes out as it is ready, so you know nothing is sat waiting under a heat lamp, which is always a bonus."
"Tables that ordered way after us had their food arrive before ours."
"Went here to eat for my birthday and it was a fabulous experience. Got there at 5:15 and the food was on the table by 5:25."
"It feels harsh knocking the venue overall so will leave 5 stars. By way of some friendly critique, ideally we would not have had bored staff dancing around 3ft from our table and talking loudly."
"A rather new pan-Asian izakaya (Japanese pub) at the Cargo, an addition apparently so recent that its name is missing from the directories."
"Although very busy, the turnover is rapid."
"Unfortunately, my friends and I booked a two hour 'bottomless' brunch hosted by Seven Lucky Gods at the Festival of Beer. A misleading 'sample menu' was provided upon booking."
