Food Quality
Pros:
"The food was delicious, decided to go out of my comfort zone and try the salmon sashimi, tasted amazing and melt in your mouth."
"Absolutely delicious food, would recommending sharing the small plates as they are incredible."
"Every dish was beautifully presented and we really enjoyed every course."
"The food was outstanding and came out very quick."
"Quality of the food is great - which you want when eating sashimi."
"The overall food quality is quite high for the izakaya style dining place and the dishes were creative and full of flavors."
"Every item tasted truly amazing, you could tell the care they had taken with each item to perfectly cook it and fill it each dish with a huge amount of flavour."
Cons:
"Limited menu at the moment. Tried many dishes (wings, pork sandwich, calamari, salmon tacos and bao bun) and they were all mediocre at best."
"The food was ok but most was covered in very sweet sauces which dominated any other flavours."
"The crispy fried squid (not pictured) was extremely salty, as was the yuzu kosho mayo."
"The rabbit katsu and Iberic katsu sandos were pretty dry and also the bread was quite greasy."
"The only dish I didn’t really like is the tacos."
"The Iberico curry was a bit disappointing for the price, the meat was dry and smelly, also too salty."
"The Katsu Sando could have been done being less greasy which put me off it."
Service
Pros:
"Appreciate how the waitresses/waiters gave a courteous response when there was once, we complained about the soft serve Matcha taste being oddly sour."
"The service was excellent. Thank you Pablo!"
"The service was impeccable, the waiters and waitresses knew exactly how to treat their customers and gave great food recommendations."
"Service brisk, and food came quickly which considering they were at full capacity, was impressive."
"The staff were attentative and always there to clear the multiple dishes we had stacked after ordering 70%of the menu."
"Very friendly staff, quick service and great value for the quality of food."
"Service was great, place was buzzing."
Cons:
"The service could have been friendlier... Bar staff a little on the edge too."
"Food was good but service was a bit hit and miss."
"The server immediately disregarded us after we were honest and said that we're here only for the dessert."
"The staff were a bit rude and the plates came out too fast before we were finished the plates that came before."
"It was slightly difficult to get the waitresses attention."
"Service was a real let down (bank holiday 1st May)."
"The service was mixed. Some people were helpful, but there was also some mayor neglect and discoordination of the timing on the delivery of many fundamental items like the main dish, water and salt."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"The restaurant had a real buzz about it when we arrived too."
"The atmosphere in the place is great, just perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience."
"The atmosphere was cosy and inviting."
"It's a lively yet cosy Japanese inspired restaurant."
"The atmosphere is relaxed and chill."
"Nice vibe inside and great service."
"A buzzy restaurant with quick service."
Cons:
"The restaurant was noisy and packed."
"It is a shame that the restaurant is super hot and it smells outside."
"The atmosphere was a bit loud for me."
"The restaurant itself is quite small and if you are seated in 2's, you may find other customers seated quite closeby."
"And it was extremely loud at the restaurant."
"The atmosphere, however, was very loud and dark with tables placed too close to each other making it difficult to navigate through the restaurant."
"The ambience was a bit hectic and at the table we were seating we could see the full garbage bin and food on the floor."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Looking at c.£30 pp plus drinks and service if you go here so definitely mid-range - affordable but not cheap."
"Another good point is that its pocket friendly."
"Price was good for the quantity and the quality."
"The theatre menu is definitely worth it and the selection is great and at the right value."
"A fun lunch out that is relatively cheap as far as Soho goes."
"The food was outstanding and reasonably priced."
"Enjoyed it yet again, especially the meats, and all at a reasonable price."
Cons:
"Overpriced and I feel something dodgy is going on there, as the prices in the menu are not the ones you end up paying."
"I would say it was a bit overpriced. £60pp for a few small plates and a couple of drinks."
"The portions are tiny & very overpriced."
"You can easily spend £50pp here which is not bad but some portions are a bit small given the cost."
"It is expensive but the quality of the ingredients and the fact that Soho rents are insane, plus the rise of all costs in hospitality, means I think this is justified."
