    Pro: good price for all you can eat. Dishes generally decent although mediocre…read more Con: absolutely the worst service in the world. They even tried to give us old wine. We saw the server bring a bottle of wine over to the manager to smell. It tasted like old foot. It took forever to place another order for all you can eat. They don't bring water, drinks, wasabi etc until you ask multiple times. They want to charge like £3 for a little side of teriyaki sauce. The manager seems to mistreat his waitstaff, making then incompetent and helpless with no way to make any decisions independently. They wait staff doesn't even seem to understand simple serving duties such as, seat the table, take a drink order, make sure they have silverware, offer drinks, offer wasabi and soy sauce (it's sushi!). Otherwise, if you want sushi at and decent price and tolerable quality, don't expect any sort of service. Expect to wait a long time for food and dont waste any or they charge!

    I have been here many times when visiting my mother as we both love sushi. Despite the slow…read moreservice, we always enjoy the food and jasmine tea which is fresh and tasty. We tend to try at least 1-2 new dishes each time we visit, plus our usual favourites..... nasu dengaku, crispy salmon skin, crispy prawns, vegetable tempura, gyoza, tori karaage, nigiri and varied maki and urumaki. Be aware of the compulsory service charge of10% added to your bill. You cannot remove it or pay what you wish. Myself and previous members of my family have tried to argue that it should be down to our discretion however each time we failed or the request caused an uproar. So we now just pay. Would recommend for lunch or dinner and will be returning myself!

    AWFUL SERVICE. Especially "Tina" I don't know who all these…read morenew staff members are but for someone who has been coming for almost a decade I'm disgusted with the attitude and straight up dishonesty and accusations when i questioned the a la carte vs buffet menu they responded with if you can't pay just say. I'm a high ranking city professional I don't expect to be spoken to like that by anyone let alone someone who is hired to give professional welcoming service. I fully understand why there's so many awful reviews. Food has also gone down hill completely as well

    I would give this restaurant zero stars if I could. Before coming today, I read reviews saying the…read moreservice was BAD SERVICE ATTITUDE! , but I thought we would be ok. We booked the table for 5 people at 12.30pm. The Chinese woman with glasses (I forgot to ask her name) who I assumed was the manager because she was dressed differently, came over to teach us how to order using the QR code. I asked if there was Wi-Fi and if I could get the password. She said, "Yes! But why don't you use your mobile data?" I explained that my number was American and the signal was weak and slow. She then gave me the password, but I couldn't hear her, so I asked her to speak slowly. She rolled her eyes, started to get annoyed, and raised her voice. I told her it was my first time here and why couldn't she be more polite? How was I supposed to know everything? It's not okay to provide service like that. In the end, I didn't order anything, but my friends did because the kids were hungry. I just sat there and waited to go eat somewhere else. I would recommend going to another restaurant. There are plenty of Japanese restaurants in London. There's no need to eat at a place with terrible service, especially with a 10% service charge. Good luck to anyone who is willing to have a new bad experience at this restaurant!
