The best Japanese food I have ever tasted. Service was excellent with recommendations provided by our waiter. I would 100% recommend this place. Lovely relaxed vibes, cocktails tasted equally as good as the food. We will definitely be returning again soon.

We visited Gin and Sake for my husband’s birthday this evening and had a really great experience. We ordered the chicken gyoza and chicken karaage starters, the salmon sharing platter, chicken teriyaki and a yuzu cheesecake. Each dish was very tasty and well presented. The food definitely lived up to the great reviews we had read. We were served by Oswin who was very professional and attentive. It was the best customer service we have had in a restaurant in a long time. Keep up the great work Oswin!

Went to the restaurant for lunch, initial first impressions were good , nice decor. Sushi was decent enough, but lacking any real flavour and seasoning. We ordered the "grilled" sea bass however received 2 frozen fillets that had been floured and shallow fried. Also the seafood udon noodles, came as small yaki style noodles, with over cooked bits of seafood which had clearly come from the frozen mixed seafood packs you find in the supermarket. Not really acceptable for almost 20 pound for the dish. We were the only table in the restaurant but some how the waitress still didn't come over to check so we were unable to tell her we had received the wrong dish and that we weren't really happy with our food. We explained this when we eventually had to go to the bar and pay but she didn't really seem to be that bothered.

Gin & Sake Restaurant in Bridgend is one of the best restaurants we’ve been to. Tasty asian foods that are reasonably priced. Thanks to the 2 amazing chefs, on duty- head chef Noy and chef Moises. We definitely enjoyed every single food we ordered. Great staff and ambiance. We will surely be back!

Wow! This restaurant really ticks all the boxes for food and service. We were there on a Saturday evening but the service was attentive, friendly and well timed. We all opted for the £45 pp special as it gave a chance to try a few different parts of the menu. The portions were HUGE and we all struggled to finish. It felt like incredible value, offering a large starter, a lot of sushi, a main, edamame, a dessert AND a cocktail. We tried a few different cocktails and the hot sake so our bill was big, but it felt worth it. We left a large tip to reflect just how impressed we were. It was lovely to see yet another fab restaurant in Bridgend. This is easily the most impressive IMO.

Popped in for a couple of drinks as we were passing, had the delicious gin and sake cocktail. Whilst there we noticed the food looked really good so had a look at the menu, couldn’t help but order a couple of nigiri (salmon and scallop) both were delicious. The atmosphere and decoration is also nice in there. We are coming back for a meal

We visited here to celebrate a friend's birthday. I had heard good reviews . The decor and ambience was good and we settled down to a drink after being instructed to arrive 15 minutes before our booking. Wine was reasonable, and a decent selection, non alcohol lager £5 330mil can !!!! And cider £4 half left a bitter taste. Whilst initially we were waiting for one guest to arrive After 45 mins of all of us patiently waiting we summoned a waitress over to order some food . Food was a mixed bag, two seafood rice , £20 pounds for some dryish rice and four prawns, seafood yakisoba , this wad tasty , teriyaki chicken and salad... again very dry and a salmon dish which was OK Sadly Charlotte the waitress spent more time chatting with two friends in the restaurant than serving the rest of the tables so we were constantly flagging her down for drinks .Decor nice , service and food poor , we won't return

We went to Gin & Sake with friends as a large group. Because of this, we preordered a few weeks in advance. Despite preordering, we had to wait an hour and a half for some dishes. There was no explanation or apology for this. The way the food was served was quite strange - dishes were brought out for some of the party, but the two of us who had ordered the sushi boats were left waiting, which meant some of our friends had had three courses by the time we had ours. Everyone had finished eating a long while before our food came. After 45 minutes waiting we were told the kitchen were just "starting to make the sushi boats now" and it was a further 45 minutes before they were served. Disappointingly, only one of the orders was actually served on the wooden boat, the second was just put on plates. The amount of sushi on the boat wasn't really worth £80, and while nice enough, lots of it was actually quite bland. Eventually, some money was taken off the bill, but we had to ask twice for this, the staff were really quite grumpy about it, and no apology or explanation was offered.

A slightly mixed review. First time here and it was nice enough. Decor is lovely and a very relaxed atmosphere. I had the tempura tofu, described on menu as delicious, but I couldn’t eat it, it was large chunks of tofu, fluffy in texture with a light ‘dusty’ coating. The texture made me feel sick. I do like tofu but am used to it cooked to a more pleasant texture and marinated for flavour. So, I don’t recommend this dish and will try veggie gyoza if we return. I enjoyed the veggie tamaki. Fresh flavours. We then had a long wait for mains, which was fine as we were relaxed with drinks, we were updated there was an issue in the kitchen and could hear them updating other tables too, we also had long wait for drinks and were told they were short staffed. My main of vegetable yasai soba was nice, but was all one flavour, like a gravy type of flavour and reminded me of a chow mein. Hate to say it but yasai soba is my fave dish at Wagamama and it’s full of different flavours and textures and is a ‘dry dish’ it’s ’wet’ here, which I appreciate may be more traditional? It just lacked a big flavour and noodles in a gravy style dish didn’t really do it for me. I like to taste the peppers, the various veg but it all tasted the same, I was slightly disappointed Husband loved it all, he had squid, chicken udon and said it was amazing. Overall it was nice but I wouldn’t rush back but looks like we will be as husband enjoyed and I would like to try other options too

Come for the food and you won’t be disappointed come for the atmosphere and the service and you will find it hard not to make this your regular! This is very very good food!

Although I had booked many weeks in advance and was not a walk in , we were seated on a tiny table between two other couples ,which was slightly off putting and there were many larger tables unoccupied but we were able to order drinks immediately ( waiting staff were attentive but not intrusive ) and we were excited to try the menu. The food was beautifully presented but my soft shell crab lacked flavour and I had to add soy sauce and the seafood noodles dish whilst delicious , contained a very small portion of seafood, with just two mussels , two pieces of squid and several prawns . A dish costing almost twenty pounds deserves to be bursting with the colours and flavours of the sea . My friends rice dish was also very small for the price. We decided to add dessert and this was just a great disappointment, as it was literally a pancake cut into pieces with a small scoop of ice cream and a quarter of a strawberry . It tasted quite bland and not really what we had expected at all. Our bill with wine, was just under seventy pounds each and whilst I am thrilled Bridgend now has more choice of restaurants than ever before, Gin and Sake will need to improve in portion size and generosity of ingredients to compete . I hope it can do this, as the decor is lovely and the staff were amazing from start to finish .

Absolutely stunning lunch today at the restaurant, we had the large sushi platter which was gorgeous. Fabulous service from the gent and the lady on the floor. Bonus points for her asking if I’d like water when I was feeding my 10 month old. Really appreciated. Thank you all!

Stopped here for a quick lunch while out cycling. Their paninies were really good and they were happy to amend the filling slightly to suit my taste. Service is really good and very friendly. The cakes and pasties looked good as well but I wasn't sure I'd be able to cycle home if I indulged so I resisted. They have a good choice of hot and cold drinks as well and they make a very nice cup of tea.

Me and my ''WHOLE'' Family enjoyed a nice and relaxing Indian at Momtaj, First of is that somehow they had enough Space to fit all 24 of us in whilst not being squashed, My starter was sooo good that I had to order seconds!, The meal that I had was delicious it was the ''Railway lamb curry'', ''The whole meal was to a breathtaking experience.'' "Superb food and atmosphere, serving staff were great too, very enjoyable evening" ''I will defo be going back to momtaj'' For 24 of us it only came to £267 without the drinks because my cousin Joni bought the drinks for us on the night
