Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Well priced, decent quality and plenty of selection. Less than £20 for all you can eat!"
  • "Really value for money all you can eat sushi. You can choose between several dishes for 20£ each."
  • "Their 'All you can eat' option is brilliant value and although you can only order the hot menu once, the cold menu can be altered each time around."
  • "All you can eat menu with a very competitive price."
  • "For more or less £20 per person, it’s extremely good value for money."
  • "It is an amazing deal, especially the less people you are because if you are 2 or 4 it doesn't matter you still get to order 6 times."
  • "For £25 per person it is definitely worth it."

Cons:

  • "Pretty expensive for not such good quality of sushi as well."
  • "Very disappointing for an all you can sushi place."
  • "The only downside is that there weren't a lot of choices in the all you can eat menu 😂"
  • "However the price has been getting higher and higher, before lockdown, it was £20 without a service charge if I remember right, now it’s near £25 plus service charge."
  • "Total cost for 2 to dine and 1 can of coke was £45.00+- complete rip off."
  • "So after £26-odd not only was I still hungry, I was more upset with wasting that amount of money on little food and had to grab something else afterwards when it was intended to be a small treat for myself."
  • "Prices at around £20-21 with 10% service charge. Also an 1.5 hour time limit. Staff are annoyed all time and unfriendly."

  • "Nice place to enjoy fresh fish and talk to friends, staff are nice too."

Cons:

  • "YES, YOU ARE SHARING TABLE EVEN UNDER COVID."
  • "Seating was strange as the tables are sunken into the floor making it hard for people with disabilities to dine."
  • "A very small sushi restaurant and most seats located in basement, good atmosphere with low music playing in the background. However, NO social distance at all."
  • "The seating is a little awkward. You have two groups sitting on the same table with no barrier between."
  • "The seating space is very tight and not very comfortable to the back. You rarely have space to put your coat/jacket."
  • "The downstairs area is not very pleasant nor comfortable, and it is cramped."
  • "Inside you have to share the table with other people because it’s packed during the weekend."

  • "They don't accept card payments in 2023, bit suspicious in my opinion."
  • "It’s CASH only!"

  • "They will add £5 penalties per person if you leave anything in your plates but they never notice you!!!"
