   I have been to this restaurant a couple of times, and the food has always been great, but the service was poor (from one staff member in particular), not including the people serving at the bar were very friendly and accommodating.

   Sam showed us to our table and was very smiley and professional. Eve was our table host, knowledgeable, smiley, and had excellent customer service. The food was lovely, noodles however a disappointing as very stodgy. The birthday dessert was a lovely touch as the occasion was for our daughter's 20th Birthday. We had a lovely time and the restaurant was beautifully decorated. Thank you.

   The restaurant is gorgeous inside but that’s about it. Food was really disappointing - sashimi was rubbery, dumplings had no flavour, dry chicken, overcooked rice, and the char siu pork was really chewy. For the price, expected more interesting flavours or at least nicely cooked meat but wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of it was microwaved. Portions were small and super overpriced. Cocktails were also nothing special. Great spot for photos but that’s about it. Everything was so bland!

   We had the "Experience" £49pp menu, but it wasn't much of an experience to be honest. I expected that the waiter would describe or at least tell us what the dishes were as they were served, but each course was served without much comment. We wondered, "what is this?" and "what is that", but the dishes were just dropped on the table. So I think calling it an experience is misleading. Also, I was rather embarrassed that, because we were ordering the £49 per-person menu (which is certainly not cheap for most people), as opposed to the £60 "Experience" menu, the water said several times, you'll be getting the "budget" menu. He must have said you've chosen the "BUDGET" version about four or five times, and each time I cringed because I was treating my mother-in-law to the meal and didn't want her to think I was being a cheapskate. After taking the order, the waiter reminded me "you've gone for the BUDGET menu". Neither menu included any type of drink, so neither menu are in any way "BUDGET" versions. With that said, the staff were generally pleasant and the food very tasty, just overpriced.

    We found the service confusing and not communicated well and didn't enjoy our starters, although the salt and pepper beef was very tasty and we enjoyed the mocktails
