    Mitsuru - Salmon with kimchi rice

    Oh dear, oh dear, I got a tempura King Prawn bento box (at £7.8) and this is one of those unusual…read morefood places; what makes it so for me is that it rather stupidly shoots itself in the foot. It's just about 2 stars, chiefly because the food was mostly served cold. I mean it should be totally perfect as the food portion was reasonable for the price paid, and the ingredients were mostly excellent. Imagine serving crap, cold food from top notch ingredients and thinking it's acceptable. The oriental place right next door sells cheap food, cheaply and it had a queue of not fussy customers, yet I was only one of two customers who bought here the whole time I was dining. The king prawns (3) were great quality and the tempura batter was light, properly seasoned, crisp and free from oil. They should have been cooked to order, like all fish. The rice and sushi on the side too were darn good quality as was the pickled ginger and wasabi. I chose fried rice so it was well laced with fried, whisked egg but, like the tempura prawns, both were far too cold to be great tasting. The price also included a vegetable spring roll that, despite being burnt on cooking (see photo) was also stone cold and pretty much devoid of filling. I'll not return, but as a tip, if you go and you intend ordering hot food, be sure to say that you do expect your food to be hot. There's a recession on the way and if this is the standard they aspire to it'll all end in tears.

    I loved this place when I first started going but last night was the last time I'll go. I wanted…read morethe salt n pepper chips but the guy working said they wouldn't have anymore despite it only being half past 18. I always get the large with three sides of caramel chicken. Last night the guy told me there was a limit of two of the same types of chicken. No one has ever told me that. He was rude.

    Grim news as they have stopped serving salt & chilli king prawn and salt & chilli squid. These…read morechoices were among the few dishes that were cooked relatively freshly and here they were exceptionally good. What a shame they've decided instead to rely on pre cooked food that can sit in Bain Marie's for hours and skin develops on the surface. I passed by at 11am one weekday morning once lockdown began to lift and there already was a full display of cooked dishes - well over a dozen choices. The centre was pretty empty that morning and I'd imagined that some of the food would still be poaching there by 1pm. No thanks. The young staff have always been mostly a surly bunch, no idle chat, no shooting the breeze and a smile is rare - maybe it's cultural. They also have a sign up on charging for the plastic bag for takeaway when the plastic bag tax doesn't apply to hot food (yet but will from April 2021). The prices here have risen steadily in recent years and with the demise of the above dishes I find there's little left that's attractive about it for me. I tried food but the crispy chicken wasn't crispy and all the food was barely warm. If you go here you are buying rubbish. I'm glad there's a Japanese restaurant place right next door too which will be my new go to.
