    Verdict: It's... Ok. Definitely wouldn't get a reservation or wait longer than 10 minutes to get…read moreseated. I don't think I'll be back, and I wouldn't recommend this unless you were extremely uncultured and didn't know what real Asian food was like. Non-Asian folks may love this place - so take other reviews with a grain of salt (I personally am shocked at how highly rated this place is). The missus rates it lower than me (3/5 from me), so I give this place her rating cuz we were both... very sad about this. Missus and I showed up at 4pm on a Saturday in May. It was hella busy when we arrived, but quickly emptied out after we started getting our food. This place claims its Thai but they only have the spice part down... I doubt this is actually authentic. Maybe it's Southeast Asian inspired?? If anyone else knows please comment. The portion sizes are predictably small, and I don't think we ordered enough for two to be full, even though it was quite pricey (given the portion size). We ordered the rump cap, curry, clay pot, and a lager to drink. Nothing was that memorable - the rump cap was well made but the curry definitely made us question the cultural authenticity of this place. I wouldn't order the curries here - the meat dishes seem decent though. The ambiance in here is definitely loud, since sound carries - any conversation gets amplified and you can hear every word - even the annoying laughs or coughs are at volume 11 (so try to keep your voices down!). There's a background music track but it's faint and you can only barely hear it when anyone is talking. The restaurant layout is very good for communal dining, but really bad for intimate settings. If I were a dating man (I'm not), I wouldn't bring a date here. The service is also extremely slow - from when we ordered to when we got all of our food was roughly 45 min - which, given how hungry we were, and how empty the place was - inexcusable and really disappointing. Note: mandatory 12.5% service charge on top of your meal.

    Food was excellent. Unique flavours and very well priced. Service was also very good, great…read morerecommendations. Lovely vibe in the restaurant.

    Sake list is insane so for those who love Sake - you will be in heaven!…read more The food was very good. Sashimi's presentation was beautiful and the sashimi was very fresh. The wagyu from Japan was pricey but well worth the price (69). Chicken Karaage - Delicious and the batter wasn't heavy Wagyu from Japan - Highly recommend! Sashimi Duo (salmon & tuna) - Fresh and melted like butter! Hamachi (yellowtail) - Fresh & delicious Gyoza - Good Tara Miso Yaki - Very flavorful and a bit sweet Service was a bit of a miss in the beginning as we got seated without menus. It took awhile before our waitress noticed that the hostess didn't provide us menus, but she was nice about it. After that, it was fine. Food was exceptional!

There were three in our group which was suggested one starter and one main per person. I had the Gozen bento which was sashimi of high grade along with salad, sticky rice and miso soup for £20. It was divine. I also sampled some of my partner's tempura bento. Prepared well it was crispy and fresh. The third in our party had sashimi which was super fresh and delicious. We shared pork gyoza and agedashi tofu. Amazing. Everyone left happy with quality and price. They have a stellar drink menu from beer to shochu, sake and cocktails. Everything was on point. The dessert menu was tempting but everyone was too full to order. I will definitely be back for an enjoyable date night or even to entertain colleagues. A great place without breaking the bank.
