Food Quality

Pros:

Cons:

  • "The duck and rice was overpriced for what you got."
  • "It is too expensive for the amount and quality of food you get."
  • "The side dishes were lacking a little."
  • "Only reason I give 3 stars for food is because we were bold and went for the miso cod to share (43£ for a small-ish portion) and it was easily the worst thing we ate."
  • "Most dishes were overly salty especially the duck with rice dish."
  • "The mushroom ceviche was just alright, and the mapo tofu and aubergine dishes were super salty."
