Ciscoe's Pan Asian & Sushi in Norwich

My boyfriend booked this as a surprise for me. Lovely welcome from the staff who were all friendly. We were sat in the room to the left which I do feel could do with a little more decor to match the room you first walk into. Felt a little bit like there was a lot of focus on the first room being made cosy and pretty with the room on the left a bit basic. As this was a romantic meal for us it did mean we lost a bit of that mood due to the decor. Food was lovely. Lots of choice and portion sizes were ideal for us. We did feedback to the manager that a member of staff had cleared our plates as I was taking my first bite of the last bit of sushi we had which made me feel really rushed and uncomfortable. We're always nervous about giving feedback but the manager was great and took this on board, addressed it with the staff straight away and was so polite and grateful which we appreciated. I have to mention the dessert which was INCREDIBLE and one of the best desserts l've ever had. Tempura ice cream! I was so intrigued when I saw it on the menu so had to try it and to be honest, thought it sounded like it wouldn't work but it was amazing. I'd recommend saving room so you can try it, I'm also someone who wouldn't usually order an ice cream dessert let alone recommend ice cream. Can't imagine anyone not liking it.

Top notch. What a cracking meal. Thank you

What a cracking experience! With so many restaurants taking the easy option of less team and smaller portions whilst inflating prices to maintain margins, Ciscoes is bucking the trend. Our family of 4 had a smashing meal of ramen, the most incredible sushi platter and a chicken and chips for a fussy 11 year old, it was all spot on, fast, tasty and quality of the food exemplary! Could not recommend more highly.

This supposed to be a special night out to celebrate my birthday but upon entering we were directed to a shabby little table in a corner. The decor gives you a feeling of a depressing teens bedroom and due to it's size it doesn't need many people before the noise of chatting, laughing and swearing(we had our two young children with us) became deafening. It was a shock that for a 'premium' Asian style restaurant to be given cheap throwaway chopsticks was quite an insult not to mention my wife received a splinter from hers. Finally and unfortunately we come to the food. We ordered Yakitori Chicken skewers and Tempura Prawn Ramen for starters. We asked for a few bowls to share the Ramen. While waiting, the manager came over and attempted to take the dry clean bowls while saying 'I will clean away your miso bowls' we had NOT ordered Miso and explained we are still waiting for the Ramen starter. Embarrassing he went to check on the Ramen. The Yakitori arrived along with the Tempura prawns but no Ramen. We started presuming the Ramen was on its way. The Yakitori was quite bland and needed to be drowned in sweet chilli and soy to be granted any flavour. Eventually after ten minutes we asked where was the Ramen that the manger went to the kitchen to chase up. It turned out it was not prepared and had to wait another ten minutes for it to be made. Eventually it arrived and we shared it out accordingly. Again this was a 'premium' dish that was quite bland. But even as we were serving it out the mains came along which led to a confused rearranging of the small table. For the mains we ordered the Sushi lover's platter and two side sushi plates. At last these looked very special and something Ciscoe's could be proud of. We spoke too soon...the rice was low grade and nearly all the sushi fell apart when picked up. It was clearly made to look beautiful but eating it showed its true quality. Based on the other sushi providers in Norwich Ciscoe's has a very long way to go to be considered adequate let alone premium. In truth the only premium part of Ciscoe's is their prices. If you love quality sushi avoid Ciscoe's at all costs. To summarise what was supposed to be a pleasant evening out to celebrate my birthday with my family turned out to be an expensive lesson on how not to enjoy sushi.

Fantastic food and atmosphere! Starter, main and dessert were lovely and presented beautifully. Will Be back again and again!

I had heard good things about Ciscoes but it surpassed my expectations! We all had a fabulous evening, the food was spectacular especially the sushi. The staff were great, nothing was too much trouble. We will be returning soon.

We came here for lunch on Mother's Day. We enjoyed a beautiful sushi platter and a range of delicious soups and other dishes. The staff were attentive and helpful, advising us about how much to order. A lovely experience, would return here and highly recommend.

This was a Mothers Day treat for my wife. We had not been before but my daughter (who was with us) and my son (who was at Uni) had been and recommended it. We can see why. The food was excellent from a very extensive choice. Very impressed. The service matched up - friendly and efficient. All that and the ambience of the restaurant means we can't wait to go back.

On the 11th of march, me and my mum came here for a late mother’s day meal and the food was absolutely to die for! The service was fast and the food started instantly flowing in as soon as we placed our order. We got the Fukomaki Soft shell Crab and prawn sushi and it was honestly, heavenly. Ali and Lee were amazing waiters and catered to us with expertise. We would deffinately come here again and again!

A pleasant meal, although I’d say it was extremely borderline on value. The food was reasonably well cooked, the service was pleasant, but we just felt that everything could have been of a higher standard. The sushi was a 7/10. The ramen was ok, but the flavour was somewhat lacking. The lighting was a bit harsh. It was an evening meal, so dimmer lights would have been much nicer. Getting lighting right can change an experience entirely. I don’t normally write reviews, but when paying £110 for a meal for 2, you kind of hope they’ll make it feel at least like an a bit of an experience. It didn’t feel particularly special at all. Honestly, if you want pan Asian, XO kitchen blows this place out of the water for value, food flavours, service and ambience.

Favourite place to eat!! Lovely service, and the food is consistently amazing! We visit every month we love it here so much!

My daughter is sushi crazy so we had to try here. It did not disappoint. From entering the restaurant to Leaving we had 10 out of 10 service and were made to feel really welcome even though the restaurant was busy. We had some starters and then went for a sushi platter which was a real show stopper! When going to a new sushi restaurant it can be confusing what to order, what the portion size will be, but the menu was explained to us and we were super happy with the food. We even left with a Bento box of leftovers. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic food, fantastic staff. Thank you for a wonderful meal! Always a special place to celebrate special occasions, the rendition of Happy Birthday from the staff just topped it off

Our second time at Ciscoe’s and it didn’t disappoint. Excellent food. Good service and important for us excellent vegan choices too

This is our second time at Ciscoe’s and it is now one of our favourite restaurants in Norwich! The food is AMAZING and the staff are great! We’ll definitely be back.

Visited whilst on a weekend break with my husband & 2 sons. Food was fantastic. Really enjoyed our meal and would return if we were not 2 hours away.

First time at a sushi restaurant had a bar seat so could watch the amazing talented chefs at work amazing atmosphere and food and lots of it very generous portions will definitely return

Really lovely food! Service was great and it filled us up for a pretty good price too! I usually think showmanship in a restaurant is tacky but the dry ice was a fun touch. I think they know people like it. Would recommend!

Went for dinner on Saturday night, was expecting a much better experience than we got. Heavy handed waiter, almost spilt everything down my fiancé when clearing the table, had to chase for the bill twice and ended up going to the bar myself to pay....

Great food. Great presentation. Great restaurant. I've been recommending it to anyone that will listen. It was for my daughters 8th birthday, and it exceeded my sushi loving pink one 😊 thank you!

What a brilliant place to eat - amazing food in a beautiful but relaxed atmosphere. The staff were so friendly and helpful too. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing atmosphere, staff and food. We sat at the bar and had a great view of the kitchen. Our waiter and waitress were both friendly and attentive despite it being a busy Saturday night. We ordered the seaweed fries, large platter with california rolls, tuna...

Had the one of the best meals we have had in a long time here to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. The food was quick, top quality, fresh made sushi, with the perfect level of show and theatricality that topped it all off, without trying too hard or being too in-your-face. The hostess was so friendly and helpful, couldn’t have asked for anything more. The pricing was perfectly reasonable for the quality we experienced. We will be back here very soon and would recommend it to anyone.

The food was actually good, but it does not compensate for over one hour waiting time with an empty restaurant Very BAD service, no one checked on us for half hour... Other tables were checked regularly but we were not. We waited for so long that we lost our appetite and will to be there and spend more money on food and drinks. We left the restaurant hungry.

Everything my daughter said it was. Superb food, service and probably the best Sushi I have ever tried. I would thoroughly recommend it.

Best sushi I’ve had in such a long time. The term quantity over quality applies here perfectly. My partner took me here for a belated birthday meal and we ordered a freestyle platter which meant the chef could put whatever they wanted onto our platter....

Brilliant atmosphere, service and food. Loved it and will go again for sure. Food was fresh and amazing and service was spot on.

The noodle soup is absolutely delicious. it reminds me of home.

The food was amazing as always. The staff were exceptional and it felt like another level of service. This is the place that turned us onto sushi and has fast become our favourite restaurant and any excuse to go is taken. Highly and always recommended...

Omg. The sushi is lush fresh and everything pairs well. The best sushi place I've been to, you get what you pay for. Delicious. I can highly recommend the honey pork, sushi lovers platter and spicy miso soup. Best sushi in Norfolk or lowerstoft. (I...

Service was very good. food was excellent and well presented.

Fantastic food with great service. Always great to come to Ciscoes The sushi was great and the tempura was light and fluffy. Had enough to take away for a snack later.

Absolutely love this restaurant. A true gem in Norwich. Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food and professional staff. Full on futo maki with the soft shell crab is one of the most delicious dishes I’ve ever had.

We came here for an early Sunday dinner and thought it might be too quiet and lacking in atmosphere... well the place was full, lovely bustling atmosphere and really delicious sushi! Great service from Hesam too!

Myself and my partner visited Ciscoes Saturday evening, we had the pleasure of sitting at the bar. Having the opportunity to watch the chefs prepare our food in front of us just added to the magic of the whole experience! The food was just outstanding!...

Ciscoes is an absolute gem for sushi. The full-on futomaki is a favourite however everything on the menu is just as great. They have amazing fine dining evenings with new and exciting menus each time, the food however isn’t everything that keeps us coming back,...

Ciscoes is an absolute gem for sushi. The full-on futomaki is a favourite however everything on the menu is just as great. They have amazing fine dining evenings with new and exciting menus each time, the food however isn’t everything that keeps us coming back, the staff's friendliness and helpfulness is also a huge asset. We always have a delightful dining experience and will often go out of our way to eat here. Best sushi in the wider area!

As a first time visiting the restaurant, myself and my wife were blown away by the whole experience. The food, staff and venue were top quality ! I never had sushi until I went to Ciscoes, and I am proud to say that I am...

We’ve been to Ciscoes for a long time and it never disappoints!! Staff lovely , food comes in a timely manner , fresh and tasty ! This time we’ve had a variety of full on futomaki (our fave), gyosas, tempura prawns, sashimi and rolls! The...

Visited for the first time and wasn’t disappointed. From the warm friendly welcoming of Tammy , the service was impeccable throughout. We tried so many different dishes and they were all delicious, I cannot recommend enough, it was such a lovely experience and will definitely...

It’s rare these days to find a restaurant with a level of customer service that matches its amazing food. Thank you!

Let’s just say I’m not the easiest to go out to dinner with, however, I had no problems eating here! The was a huge variety available for gluten free eaters! I let our waitress Rachel know and she happily pointed out what to look for...

Amazing Sushi restaurant, with super friendly efficient service, food perfect, as was the entire visit, would highly recommend the Freestyle Board, full of Theatre

Came for a group Christmas booking and the entire experience start to finish was amazing! The food was fresh and tasty, the staff were so warm and friendly and the atmosphere was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Had an amazing evening with family and friends who have come from up north to visit. They have always wanted to try sushi and heard this was the place! And it definitely is! Food was amazing. Freestyle player was full of everything we loved and...

Booked for a post Christmas family meal out and had a great time. Food was on point and the service was brilliant! Rachell was our waitress and made our night! She was friendly, helpful and provided us all with a great time. Looking forward to...

First time visiting Ciscoe’s this evening and wasn’t disappointed. The food was amazing, lots to choose from. Rachell was fantastic and recommended a few dishes that she thought we would like. Very friendly and made our experience one to remember. Definitely be returning.

Me and my boyfriend came here for our one year anniversary and it was amazing as usual. The waitress Tammy greeted us with hugs which was so lovely. We then had the freestyle platter which was perfect. It had everything we both loved on it...

Absolutely amazing meal! Staff were fantastic. We had a mixture of small plates to try all the different dishes. Loved them all definitely recommend

This is our second visit and again its been an excellent choice. On this occasion my other half went for Cambodian steak and Korean seafood noodle soup for myself. Boy oh boy, the Korean noodle soup lived up to and then surpassed expectations. This on...

What can I say! This place is wonderful from when you first enter to when you leave. The whole team deliver wonderful customer service as well as food and they honestly treat you like royalty. Thank you for the experience, we shall be back!

The whole team at ciscoes is amazing. We love eating here and it’s always a warm welcome when we arrive. The food is exceptional and amazing at catering for gluten free and vegan dietary requirements. The food is always so fresh and we love watching...

Really good, really impressed with the food and professional service

We had an amazing meal for my son’s 18th. A real wow experience plus delicious food and drinks. Staff so helpful, even when I lost my earring. I would highly recommend.

I generally didn't enjoy my experience here. The food was alright but nothing I'd consider special, a disappointment considering the price! I don't know their personal situation, but one member of the service staff was wearing a hoodie and joggers, somewhat contradicting the appearance of the restaurant, which looked like it was supposed to be providing a fine dining experience. We were seated in a cramped table, which wasn't ideal but something I could have looked past had the rest of the experience been fantastic. My biggest grievance was we were asked if we wanted water, which we said yes to, and rather than providing tap water, a new bottle was cracked open before it reached the table but when the staff had made eye contact with us. This felt really underhanded, as had the bottle remained unopened when it reached the table, they knew we'd have sent it back. They opened it away from the table but within sight to ensure they could add it to the tab. I will likely never go back here.

What an amazing evening, food absolutely beautiful and delicious. Continues to impress me on every visit.Staff so friendly and attentive. A very special thank you to TAMMY for making it happen.

We went for lunch today December 16th for the first time and it was amazing and it did not disappoint. We had the platter and let the chef pick for us as we were willing to try it all. The whole presentation was incredible and...

This is the best sushi restaurant in Norwich! So tasty and fresh and a lovely atmosphere, staff are super friendly and attentive. 100% a must for a lovely meal and evening.

Went to Ciscoes with a group of friends and had a fantastic time. The food and service was exceptional. Tammy was our waitress for the evening and she managed what can only be described as musical chairs with ease!We had zero issues with waiting times...

Such a friendly atmosphere, the food was beautifully cooked and presented. Tammy went above and beyond to make our visit special. Thank you.

Food was mega, service was spectacular, specially Tammy! Highly recommend! Fantastic wine choice also.

Phenomenal meal yet again! My favourite restaurant. Always top food, excellent service and go away feeling fantastic

Amazing service, highest quality food. Highly recommend

Great dishes not just amazing fresh sushi. Really enjoyed it . Helpful staff, I have allergy and chef was very accommodating

Very polite waiters and delicious food to match. Nice calming atmosphere, what more could you want from a sushi bar!

Super meal!, we had the sushi platter which was amazing!!! Good service. Definitely will be returning.

We had a great evening. Gluten free is excellent, and staff are super helpful - particularly Tammy who was doing all the front of house on her own that evening! We were an early cover, and in a bit of a rush, but everything was...

Staff were fantastic. Food was absolutely amazing! The ambience and atmosphere was great. All in all, this place is not to be missed. We had a selection of small plates and sides, to get a good mix of the wonderful dishes on offer.

Food = good but nothing special Service = very disappointing Upon arrival, a staff member promptly (before we’d even sat down) offered water for our table but surprised us with a £4.20 bottle, almost making a point to open it as they got to our table. We felt like they were trying to catch us out- not the nicest experience. The chopsticks were cheap disposable ones . Never have I seen this in a restaurant when ordering £20 dishes! Our server was wearing a tracksuit sweatshirt which I found really unprofessional. I’m not expecting anything especially formal, but it’s preferable if staff don’t look like they’ve been called in at the last minute. There was no hot water to wash hands in the toilets, and it was a freezing winter evening. Leaving, I couldn't help but wish we had chosen to dine at Matane for food just as good at a fraction of the price.

Well after booking my birthday meal I received a phone call 2 months later and was left a voicemail saying the restaurant have cancelled my table. The reason was because they had a large booking. Who had booked after me... So clearly booking early for...

My favourite restaurant in Norwich - beautiful food, fantastic genuine staff, pretty scenery.. a total vibe!

I’ve always been a bit ambivalent about Japanese food, mainly as I’m never really sure what to order. However, we arrived early and had to sit at the bar for a few minutes while we waited for our table to be got ready. The bar...

The food is absolutely stunning, fresh, delicious and a work of art but unfortunately the service is the worst I have ever experienced. Shown to table, before we can sit down the waitress asks us "still or sparkling" we order still water and thank goodness...

I used to really rate this restaurant. Having not been for several years, we were disappointed. The food was uninspiring (a lot of batter) and service was average. Perhaps we chose badly; the large sushi platter on the neighbouring table looked impressive.

This is definitely one of the best sushi I've ever tried. So tasty and very well presented. The restaurant is lovely with a cosy and worm atmosphere and not less important for me, great music in background. The staff are really on par with the...

Lovely sushi and friendly staff. Only negative thing; the place itself was cold. Will visit again, but with warm clothing ;)

Was sooo lovely here this evening! We got the chef special sushi platter, dry ice for decoration and everything was explained to us! Lovely service too, excited to come back soon!

This is the second time we’ve been here and this experience was one I will want to have again in the future. The waitress was very amazing and even took a picture with us, that’s the type of experience I’d always want from a good...

The best place to go for sushi in Norwich! Quality is insane and always looks incredible! We love to go for the chefs freestyle platter! Service is top notch and very friendly couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Amazing spot, this was our second visit, one of us was vegan and he loved the amount of options and the food, and my young daughter had a special roll made for her which she also loved. All the food was delicious, the sushi is...

Delicious fresh sushi served and prepared by lovely people! A real gem in Norwich- one of the best places to eat. They also have delightful warm sake. 10/10 every time.

Ciscoe’s is my favourite Japanese restaurant in Norwich, it never fails to impress me. The service is always really good with helpful and friendly front of house staff, the chefs are always friendly and very professional (especially if you get the honour to sit at...

Really friendly staff. Excellent food, no other sushi compares! A range of options to cater to everyone’s dietary requirements. All freshly prepared and tastes amazing!

Went here and The food is so tasty and good portion sizes. The customer service was great too thank you!

We came to their Fine Dining evening (with wine pairing). Just amazing. Food you can’t do yourself. Very accomplished. Absolutely delicious. Would love to come every month. So good.

Great food,the waitress Punya, was amazing, service was top tier, and comparable to places with rosettes that I have been to in the past. I will definitely be returning for a great experience. If you are from Norwich and haven’t been here before, you NEED...

Amazing service from the chefs and waitresses Punya & Tammy, it felt more like an experience then just a meal would highly recommend to anyone looking for great food at reasonable prices :).

I usually don’t have time for reviews, but I must say my wife and I have had so many lovely nights at Ciscoe’s and it has become a bit of a guilty pleasure this last few months. Whether it’s the amazing freestyle sushi with friends...

Exquisite Asian cuisine with beautiful decor and super friendly staff. Best restaurant in Norwich, hands down!

Thank you so much for your hospitality and amazing food! We had the best time, everybody were so friendly, and the sushi is absolutely to die for! Highly recommend the chicken & ginger gyozas - and highly recommend Ciscoe’s in general! Not to be missed...

Beautiful ambiance alongside an absolutely amazing meal. Really enjoyed the dry ice as our Sushi platter came out! Staff were so nice and friendly and complemented this lovely, ambient restaurant. The best Sushi I’ve had yet!

Lovely food, great selection to choose from, especially if you're vegan, vegetarian or coeliac (or a coeliac vegetarian in my case!). Helpful and very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

A fantastic meal, great attention to detail, had sharing platter,beautifully explained by staff, we are planning our next trip back agsin

Really nailed the balance between good, efficient service and friendly relaxed atmosphere all wrapped in a sophisticated decor. Our first visit, so we jumped right in and asked for the Chef’s Freestyle Platter for £70. Asked if they could put on the platter California roll...

Had such a lovely family dinner. The kids loved the sushi and the decoration. The waitresses were great and chatted to the kids making them feel very included. Excellent food and service

We had a wonderful evening celebrating our son William's 13th birthday this evening. The sushi platter was amazing, all the food was delicious and the service from Tammy was excellent. She looked after us brilliantly. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend this restaurant!!

Beautiful decor, amazing service and outstanding food. Every mouthful was delicious and freshly made. Rachel the waitress was so attentive and so good at her job! We will 100% be back to sample the rest of the menu.

A great evening meal with friends. Amazing service and great food. Drinks were really nice also. Tammy and Rachell were fantastic hosts!! California roll is a must ! Would definitely come back and will recommend to anyone !

Receive absolutely exception service from Tammy and Rachell for our dinner with friends. From the starters all the way through to dessert, service was second to none with such brilliant food. Most definitely a 5 star experience and would highly recommend everyone to come and...
