The sunken table area is quite cool downstairs but we sat at a normal table. The atmosphere was super off with it being dead quiet with no music. Just an awkward atmosphere. The salmon sashimi was really good, super fresh! I had a rice bowl with steak as my main and it was just okay- it was pretty bland and could’ve done with a sauce, there was just so so much pickled ginger as well, it would’ve been nice to have some other veg. The waitress was amazing, super lovely and she was concerned when we left loads of food at the end but we were just so full!
It was fun watching sushi going around on the belt conveyor. The restaurant has table service downstairs and a take away section at the entrance as well as the belt conveyor counter. Sushi and other dishes are on the different colour plates indicating it's prices. Orange £3.50 Red £3.90 Green £4.50 Blue £4.90 Pink £5.50 Yellow £5.90 Most cooked dishes from the kitchen were on the yellow plates and I thought they were good value as long as you pick them up while it's still hot. Most dishes including sushi are on the belt without top covers for the first few rounds, and I found them unhygienic. Sushi chefs in the corner were friendly, though they are very busy making all sushi for takeaway, downstairs tables as well as the belt conveyor counter. You'll get your bill from a staff, and pay at the till by the entrance. Be aware that the service charge is astonishingly high even for the city standards. It is 20%! For pick up by yourself sushi and pay at the till, I think it is outrageous. I don't think bringing a drink and counting the plates and writing it down isn't worth 20%. Or am I mean to think that way. Prawn tempura was good, machareal sushi was good, others I had weren't. One experience was enough for me.
Re: Friday 4th August evening Food was good and I feel the pricing was fair for a central London restaurant. Seating was downstairs. A little too cozy. It's nice they give you the option to sit at the tables or on the sunken floor area that requires slippers. The waitress was fantastic and did a great job working by herself, tending to all tables and checking in on us. They are lucky to have her! Bad look to see who I got the impression of the owner sitting at a table drinking and looking unfriendly or helpful. Unfortunately, the condition of the one toilet available was atrocious. For this reason we will not come back. I forgot to take an image of the sink- it would be impossible to wash hands if someone were to use the urinal which is in front of it. I do not think I would feel comfortable bringing children into that toilet without waiting for them. There is no excuse to have it in the condition it is and this could be renovated over a weekend. They are closed on the weekends so that baffles me even more. The majority of the floor tiles are loose. Additionally, the amount of fruit flies in the toilet and restaurant needs to be addressed. I'm sure this goes against many H&S standards. Disappointed to say the least.
Nice conveyor belt sushi Fresh fish and quality sushi. High service charge to eat in compared to take out. Sushi sets and hot food available to take away.Food: 4/5
I bought some take out Sushi for lunch. It was very nice and felt you got a bit more fish than you do in the usual packs from the likes of Itsu or Wasabi. It was however expensive what London lunches aren’t!? at £11.50, but on par with similar foods. However, reading the other comments on the cleanliness of the place, I’m not sure I’ll be coming back. Shame, because I do enjoy a nice Sushi restaurant and saw they also have a conveyor belt set up too. Would have liked to return but going to give it a miss.
This place had been on our list for a while. Maybe this place is better at lunch - but tonight the restaurant floor was dirty not great when we had to get down to your socks; no heating and a few spiders crawling around. The toilets were mostly out of order, had no lights, a small candle in the cubicle and cables hanging out the roof and bulbs in the corner and had to use to phone torch to wash hands. The waitress was lovely and more than helpful. But this didn’t make up for the food we sent back - stringy, dry and tough pork. We won’t go back - but maybe this is great for a lunch spot or for a takeaway.
Great takeaway lunch options. I’ve been enjoying different options they provided, Teriyaki chicken is the best I reckon. By the way, this week has been disappointing as rice quality was so bad…was too sticky and couldn’t finish more than half 2 days in row. And £1 for extra teriyaki sauce is a bit disappointing as it needed only because the original drizzle is too less.
I just found this place while looking for a nice restaurant for a date. It's such a precious gem in the city. The food is just amazing, presentation is also very authentic. They have two different spots so you can choose between running sushi upstairs or enjoying downstairs take service. The decoration is just perfect too. We were attended by a very nice waiter called Rafael which was very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely go back there soon again.
Great dining experience on tatami mats. Loved the spicy tuna maki roll. Unagi ju was tad bit sweet, only other feedback is that waiting service could be improved.
Worst meal I've had in a while. Ordered the £49.50 Chef's Nigiri Special 3 and a number of items were switched out for cheaper ingredients without explanation. What did arrive was cold, old and lacking in flavour. This extended even to the dry ginger. I've never had toro fatty tuna that hasn't first been blowtorched to render the fat and bring out the flavour. The waiter wasn't particularly engaged but did offer £5 off the price after I pointed out the switches. No questions were asked when I left five pieces of nigiri when requesting the bill.
