  • "8 pieces of small sushi for 9 pounds. :DDDD Edit: add weight of your portions."

  • "Delivery times are never met and with my latest delivery the Deliveroo rider was waiting half an hour before it was ready and I only ordered three items."
  • "WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT for takeaway."
  • "Would not recommend for a take away, every time I’ve ordered, there’s been something wrong with the order."
  • "Ordered to get food delivered, the driver didn't even bother to get out of the car, I had to get it myself."
  • "Even when ordering well in advance with hours notice they can still be half an hour late."
