  • "When our food arrived my chicken yakatori was dry and over cooked my rice had been left out for way to long before serving it was dry and clumpy."
  • "Had the katsu curry which tasted just like a tesco curry ready meal."

  • "My partner and I found the flavour of the dishes disgusting...my noodles had a strong chemical taste."
