Unique experience! The food is amazing with a very beautiful plate presentation. The place is remarkable, with beautiful decoration and many restaurants close to one another.

Fantastic service delivered by the team here. Even though the allocated time was 90 minutes, they have us extra time. The restaurant was understandably busy, and I can see why it's so popular. A great selection available on the menu. I would recommend it to any foodie, as we as those out on a date.

It's set within a historic building. I'll no doubt be returning to visit the other restaurants.

I was so impressed by the value for money with this beautiful poke bowl. The seating (high shared tables) won’t be for everyone, though I think there are some normal tables too. Very much recommend this dish! Plus enjoying the bar at The Ned afterwards.

The BEST sushi I’ve ever had… and I’ve had a lot haha. Highly recommend the tuna sashimi, it’s was such a fine cut of fish, practically melted in the mouth. My dad treated me here for lunch and we left with big smiles and full stomachs

Good food in a great atmosphere. Excellent service, and tasty vegetarian options. The vegetable dishes from the grill were delicious and filling, especially the mushrooms! For the price though I would've liked more comfortable seating. (There are no backrests.) There are also no hooks under the bar to hang bags from.

I agree with the previous reviews, the dishes are slightly overpriced. Apart from that the food was tasty. I chose some tuna rolls with ponzu sauce as starter they were really fresh and light. My partner had fried chicken and it was really tasty. As main I opted for the aubergine and some coconut rice which were fine, nothing amazing for the price but it was tasty. My partner had (thanks to the other reviews) the black cod and it was truly the highlight of the dinner, the texture was particularly enjoyable. Finally, for dessert I chose the pineapple with coconut and lime sorbet which was a nice and light way to end the meal, whilst he had a selection of 3 ice creams mochis that he did enjoy too. Tbh the dessert are really overpriced but we were too tempted to try. I would still recommend that place but the room can be quite noisy so definitely not the best for a romantic date.

Truly exceptional sushi with a fantastic selection of Robata as well. Plenty of choice on the menu, everything served was absolutely delicious. Would recommend the fatty tuna sashimi. Great place for a special occasion.

Food was average at best. We had to send back the wagyu steak. It was cooked well beyond medium. I've never been to an establishment where they would cook wagyu in such a way.

The plates with red meat weren't fresh (obviously old inventory).

Only saving grace was the miso cod, which was delightful. Otherwise, 1 star for the price we paid.

On two occasions (different waiters) ruined our table. The first time, the waiter spilt sauce all over our table and nearly ruined my wife's dress. The second time a waitress cleared our table and broke a wine glass. Fortunately no glass shards harmed us. On both occasions the staff members didn't apologise or acknowledge their error.

For close to £100pp spent, I won't be coming back. At a fraction of the price, we had many better dining experiences at Michelin restaurants in London .
