    Came by myself on a Wednesday night without a reservation. I had to wait a little bit but was able…read moreto get seated. It is very loud, both from people talking and then with music once that started. This is more of a vibe place than a good food place. Misoshiru has too much miso. The mackerel was a bit disappointing, the vinegar flavoring is light and it has that thawed from frozen texture. The rice is good, much better than I typically see stateside. The tuna was oddly sweet and didn't have firmness. The hamachi was spot on though, not sure why the other two were misses. The signature dish is fried monkfish in something similar to sweet and sour sauce, honestly not that impressed. Cheesecake is not as dense as American cheesecake and not fluffy like a soufflé, I think it was a good middle ground. Not too sweet.

    Very different (in a good way) dining experience. Dimmed lights, extravagant Japanese-style design…read moreand glorious decor on your way to the toilet upstairs are definitely memorable! The food was simply amazing and arranged like a work of art! We were quite a big group and the food arrived at the same time. The menu is quite varied - from more traditional Japanese style dishes to quite modern cuisine - I for one had a meal called 'Mad crab' which was a selection of seafood with a delicious cheese sauce and poached oak Choi with oyster sauce. The service was very attentive.

    Came here while in Belfast, and was left expecting more, but not terribly disappointed…read more After arriving they were able to seat us quick as it was just me and one other. However, there was a line nearly out the door after we showed up, and people were waiting a while for seating, even though there was a good number of tables open. The food itself was subpar, with a lot of cost for very little Sushi. The pictures they advertised were much larger but for £8 you get a plate smaller than your hand. Additionally, we ordered water with our dish and never received it. Finally, they have a "Treat Yo Self" conveyor belt of sushi that you can take and be charged depending on the color of the bowl; however, there were only about 5 plates on the entire belt, none of which were reasonably priced. The staff were alright, but the facility was understaffed. Not enough cooks or hosts to accommodate the size of the place. I don't blame them, but rather management. Was also hard to find a waitress to take our order. The atmosphere was nice, but definitely felt rushed and hard to enjoy my meal. Will probably not come back to the establishment unless they fully staff the venue.

    The sushi here is absolutely delicious and so was the squid. The one server they had on shift was…read morevery polite and was rushed off of their feet but they could've definitely of done with having more staff. The food was all made fresh and came to the table quick. The only issue I had was the booths are very very small and uncomfortable to sit in.

    MMMM, lovely Japanese food. One of the healthier options for a meal out. I actually didn't notice…read morethis restaurant for a long time, and I am in the area around the Omniplex quite often. Before the cinema one night, we fancied trying something a bit different, so gave Ginza a go, and we were glad we did. I got the Teryaki Salmon Fillet, which was absolutely to die for! The food, as is typical in a Teppanyaki restaurant, is all cooked in front of you, which is very interesting, as you can see exactly how it is done. The staff were fantastic, as I needed a lot of advice as to what to choose, they were more than happy to oblige, and have even given me some hints for dishes to try of future visits. Drinks were brought quickly and before we finished someone always came to ask if we wanted more without having to be called over. I can't wait to go back!

    My one experience of eating in Ginza was a surprisingly good one, and I would have no hesitation in…read moregoing back soon! Teppanyaki is a modern Japanese style of cooking that involves cooking food on a hot plate in front of the customer, which is really interesting to watch and adds something special to your experience. The staff where very professional,remaining attentive at all times . The food was beautifully presented and was totally scrumptious Everything was reasonably priced too with my girlfriend and me enjoying starters for £4 and mains for £7.My sweet and sour chicken was excellent, with the blend of flavours being just right, whilst my girlfriend's duck was tender and well cooked, with a lovely Oak flavour. The menu will contain something for everyone, but the only real complaint I would have about this place would be that the portions are a little bit small, especially for an appetite that is as fervent as mine!

    This place used to be great but it's totally gone down hill badly. Really poor service and the food…read morewas dreadful when it eventually arrived. ordered at 7 pm and the original delivery time was 7.45 - this was changed to 8.15 after they had accepted the order. Rang at 8.25 and they said it was on the way then again 20 minutes later when it still hadn't arrived. We ordered wontons which had absolutely no filling - just greasy flat bits of filo. The "Vietnamese" spring rolls were just standard greasy pre-made rubbish, not the fresh rice paper rolls we were expecting. The special fried rice was just standard fried rice with 4 small pieces of chicken and 2 prawns on top - no veg or anything. The only nice thing was the miso soup but unfortunately half of it had spilled in the bag making the spring rolls even more soggy. Definitely won't order from here again.

My attention was initially captured by the…read moresuperb selection of vegetarian Sushi rolls made with either white or brown rice on their menu. Tonight I ordered avocado, egg and asparagus rolls served with traditional garnishes of pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce. Wonderfully delicious, fresh and mouth-wateringly flavourful. As well as Sushi Gangnan serve Dim Sum and Tempura dishes, both with a vegetarian option available. Plus there's a full range of Honey Chilli, Peking, Curry, Kung Po, Satay, Szechuan, Black Bean, Teriyaki, Cashew Nut and Black Pepper etc meals, all also available as vegetarian dishes. Additionally there are noodle, soup, fried rice and traditional Chinese dishes. An extensive menu. It's sometimes extremely difficult to get a table in Gangnan, especially over lunchtime, as it's very busy and popular with Asian patrons. I sat in Gangnan on my visit tonight, however takeaway and delivery are also available. The restaurant itself is small, simple and clean. Prices, portion sizes, service and atmosphere are good. Plus it's BYOB. I will be returning and can see myself becoming a regular customer.

The dining area is very chic with lots of sleek lines. Very elegant but modern style. Loved all the tableware as well - everything seemed earthy and hand thrown. Our favorites of the night were hands down the duck and truffle fried rice - we all fought for this dish toward the end. It was one of the most unctuous bites of food that I've ever had. The fried rice was PERFECT - each grain of rice was coated in beautiful fat and was the homiest and warmest kind of dish. Would come back for this alone. I highly recommend coming to YuGo, especially if you have a large group and want to try a variety of dishes. All the flavors and cook were spot on, and we really enjoyed our time. Thank you YuGo!

Once seated they immediately came with water and we gave our drink order. We decided what to eat fairly quickly so when they came back they were ready to take our order! I feel like from sitting down to receiving our food it took maybe 10 minutes. Definitely the quickest service and exactly what we needed because we were so hungry! The food was incredible! They are very small portions so they recommend 2-3 per person. We also got the chef's sushi selection and it was so yummy, the fish was so fresh! I was afraid I wouldn't be full but after the meal I was perfectly full. The whole vibe of the restaurant was also great! Busy but not overwhelming and beautiful plates and presentation of the food! Would recommend!

    Delighted by a lengthy vegan menu, but not so delighted by the actual food. Spiced potato cake…read morestarter consisted of potato cakes which seemed like frozen, mass-produced items. While the Tofu Saag Main consisted of sauce which was flavourful, the tofu itself was soft, gelatinous and poorly prepared. I cannot understand why a restaurant would bother serving tofu if it's not going to do it properly. Tofu should be crispy, firm, well-pressed and marinated - this tofu possessed none of these qualities. Indeed it was a soft tofu more suited to making desserts rather than a firm tofu which would be better suited to such a main dish. Pluses included tasty vegan naan bread, a dedicated vegan/ vegetarian menu, excellent service from two attentive waitresses and a beautiful restaurant interior. Food in Soul is not cheap, so it should be of better quality and it could be with a few small tweaks.

    Good for the soul!…read more That's their motto and I couldn't agree more, let me tell you a wee story... It was my pals birthday and I said I'd meet him for lunch and as he works on the Dublin road that seemed the logical place to have lunch, especially as we both only had an hour to spare. I have to admit that initially we planned to go to Kitch but unfortunately the door was still locked when we approached. I suggested Souls as I had seen it when passing by and had also seen it pop up on my trusty Yelp app. To be perfectly honest I wasn't too hopeful, not because it didn't look great but because I thought it was more of a dinner destination that a lunch spot. Let's start with the decor, it's light bright and modernly furnished - a really comfortable environment without being overly formal - just what you want for a lunch time destination. We were presented with lunch menus when we entered. the options were good although they were definitely a little more expensive in comparison to other lunch menus I've seen. I ordered the Chicken Tikka wrap! When it came I was shocked at the presentation, they made what could have been a simple wrap in to a work of art, the salad sat in a lettuce leaf, the sauce was smeared on the plate michelin style and the wrap was cut in half exposing the tender chicken. The wrap was actually a gluten free naan bread - sensational is the only word I can use to describe it. The wrap had a spicy kick but it wasn't overbearing. Overall the food was incredible, a really great lunch. I didn't feel too full and it was pretty healthy. Really top class food. The other thing to note was the speed of the food (lunch crowd take note) We ordered at 12:15 and our food was with us by 12:35! The staff were great too - granted there was only two of us in the restaurant but they were attentive and eager to help! The whole experience was fantastic - it won't be long until I'm back!
