We are visiting my cousin and her family in New Castle. Im…read moreoriginally from Latin America and my husband is Polish. We live in the USA and love Hibashi. We decided to bring everyone to this place that I found on Yelp. We sat down and they took our drink order. Normally my husband and I prefer natural drinks over soda. (Orange juice, tea, lemonade). I heard someone order lemonade so when it was my turn I ordered the same and then my husband who was next to me ordered one as well. When the drinks arrive we both get soda: a Sprite. Then they explained to me that in UK there is no such thing as lemonade (fresh water, lemon juice, sugar) but Sprite, the soda has completely replaced the natural drink. I explained to the lady the confusion. Told her we were visiting UK and this was our first experience ever in a UK restaurant. Explained what lemonade was in the US and asked if she could exchange both our drinks to coke. If We were going to have a fountain drink we prefer coke and did not like sprite. She came back again with our Sprites explaining how they had already come out of the fountain sprayer and they could not sell them to anyone else. We had to consume them. I asked my family if we could just leave and go somewhere else where customer service was existant and they were fine so I got up, paid our drink tab and we all left to a really good restaurant. I will write a good review about it. The manager/owner of this place is so xxxxxx that he lost 11 patrons just because he wouldn't exchange 2 sprites for 2 cokes. They were not even can or bottle. The guy was pouring them out from that fountain hose looking thing. I bet the cost is pennies. Not smart at all I understand the confusion and how I should have research how words differ here. However, customer satisfaction is global. Im not giving any restaurant a penny more of my money if they cant even change a sprite for a coke. Especially because there was a good reason why. It wasnt that we changed our mind. I explained we were foreigners and for us lemonade is lemons, water, sugar. This guy didnt care about his buisness (lost 11 patrons and possible later referrals plus a bad yelp review) Did not care about his city, New Castle (our fist experience in NC) Did not care about how tourists view his country as a whole. If he is the manager, he should get fired. If he owns the place they should close it down for bad service!!!

But we just put our faith in them, letting them make up a plate of chef's choice (they did take note of our preferences to cater to our particular tastes, which was nice). The sushi arrived beautifully presented and incredibly professional-looking. The flavour combinations were bright and bold, and they were more unique than any other sushi I've had locally. My husband loves what he calls "American sushi" - creative, big rolls instead of just simple, traditional flavors. And this place really nails what we love about sushi in the US without it being over the top. It still feels light, and easy to put a whole piece in your mouth, but there's a lot going on inside the rice. Can't wait to try it again! For those who haven't been, this place is upstairs in The Stack - a complex of shipping containers filled with food and drink venues on the old Odeon site. There's a little seating inside their particular container, but lots more seating outside. There are heat lamps, and they'll bring you your food wherever you're sat.

We had high hopes for Nudo. I think it was encouraging in some aspects and a let down in others. I…read moream probably a bit more generous with the stars as I was just overjoyed to find food with dynamic flavor in the NE. We ordered both sushi and traditional dumplings/udon. As my friend said below the maki rolls seemed old, the nori and fish were both off. Interestingly, I ordered a salmon hand roll that was super fresh and very good. So, the sushi seems to be a bit of a hit and miss. I would try the sushi again, but if it was the same I probably wouldnt be returning. As for the rest of the meal I came away thinking I had just ordered too much on the rich side. I had a shredded duck with udon noodle dish. It was very good, but the strong, rich flavor of the duck covered the whole dish and you needed something else to balance it out. Overall though a very good dish that I am already craving again. My mistake was also ordering northern pork dumplings which were also slightly greasy and rich, though very good. Overall the ambiance of this place is very nice, like a traditional noodle house, though very busy and slightly loud at times. The service was adequate though not terribly friendly. I will definitely try Nudo again, but will be more selective about my choices.

The menu is quite complicated with a large combinations of set menus or main courses. The set menus are a nice way to try a large variety of the restaurants dishes. I had the duck main which came with a Fujiyama salad, miso soup, fried rice and vegetables. The salad was a little disappointing but what I expected for a Japanese restaurant - simple supermarket salad with a spicy mayo. The duck was nice although don't expect to get your rice with your duck unless you want to eat the duck cold(still good though). Overall great entertainment and nice food

The side dishes were good. If I decide to go back I wouldn't reorder the meat platter. I think it might be a better idea to just share #71 instead. You get marinated beef and chicken. 2 bowls of rice with 2 side dishes and friend dumplings. I've never tried their fried dumpling though :)

All the food was delicious. Feeling satisfied we got the check for the four of us, which came to £167 ( £148 + 19 tip), equivalent to $234 ($60/head). Not inexpensive but worth it. I would return when we come for a visit to the city.

Their menu is vast and can be scary to those new to Japanese cuisine. For me, it was a heaven and hell of choices (I wanted everything). When I'm solo dining, I typically order hamachi kama (grilled yellowtail collar) and a bowl of white rice. When I'm with friends, depending on our budget and interests or bravery to explore different fish, I get a medley of nigiri and appetizers. If you like fried foods, it's good to start with tempura which are fried mixed vegetables and shrimp in a light batter. Another good thing is the karaage (fried chicken). Other great starters are edamame and miso soup. For the meal and drinks, don't hesitate to get recommendations from the servers. They're super friendly and accommodating. If you're looking for more filling meals, they have bento boxes with katsu curry, large bowls of ramen, and special sets. Overall, presentation is the biggest reason why you're here. Following close behind is the exceptional customer service and the food is always great.

There are several to choose from, which aren't described on their online menu. Basically at least 2 people need to get it (don't think the whole table does), and they just bring you tons of food. TONS. We went for the second cheapest, which wasn't cheap at all - £18.50 - so only go for that if you're really hungry. You can easily build a cheaper meal than that from the regular menu, but it was fun to try a lot of dishes. We all got miso soup first, then some beautifully presented sushi came out - salmon nigiri, egg nigiri, and one piece of maki. The pieces were huge! I love how they give you the exact right amount for how many people are in your party, so no fighting. The fish was fresh, and the maki roll looked really precisely made. Presented on a granite slab, really lovely. Then we got an onslaught of food. It was intense. Tempura veggies, shrimp, and crabstick. Seafood fried rice. Little fried chicken bites. Pork gyoza. Is that it?? I think so. The dumplings were a big hit, really delicious. The chicken and rice were both a bit under salted, but I'm not going to lie, I really enjoyed them. Some of my dining mates weren't sold on them - and yes, they needed more seasoning, but I guess I just love fried things! The fried rice had a really classic taste, reminded me of fried rice I used to have when I was a kid. The squid in it was too chewy though! I loved the tempura, big crisp fresh vegetables in a light batter (I didn't try the prawns). And dessert was a creative but hard-to-eat tempura apple (warm) served with cold vanilla ice cream. Loved the differing textures and temperatures. We didn't come close to finishing! We were STUFFED but left lots of fried rice and some tempura and chicken bites. Only order this if you're really, really hungry. But it's a fun way to try lots of dishes! I'd definitely come back here anytime, for a set menu, some sushi, or some Japanese dishes I've not tried before. Pretty good prices for wine and beer, too.
