Rika Moon in Kensington and Chelsea

Found this amazing corner restaurant , very nice atmosphere inside has a quirkiness about it apparently Robbie Williams use to live above the restaurant. We managed to get a table down stairs which is a completely different vibe than upstairs with much more cosiness perfect for dinner, had the most amazing lamb was speechless to say the least, the sushi was out of this world. Have to say it’s probably some of the best sushi I have tried in London and with fresh wasabi just lifted the experience. Service was very good approachable and friendly will be definitely be back.

I was keen to try out this establishment in my neighbourhood, I entered for my booking and was seated right by the door (I'm a black female). I politely asked if there was any seating downstairs, to which I was told no. We went downstairs and there were 3 tables vacant (granted a booking could've been made for those). The waitress looked at me sheepishly and said we could sit at the table downstairs. Drinks order took 25mins. Drinks never came. Food came out 45 mins later salty, cold and inauthentic. Drinks arrived after food. I found it telling that two well to do white women next to me were going back and forth re their bill and how they didn't wish to pay for half of the total amount because of the dreadful food and service. I also noticed they charge 14% - the bloody cheek. I watched food sit at the pass for as long as we dined there. Subsequently, I went to speak to whom I believed to be the manager, albeit the owner. Complete and utter rudeness bellowed from this man, totally combative and dismissive. I believe we most definitely were not the first nor were we the last to make a verbal complaint to him that day or any other. I was treated poorly, yet to still have paid in its entirety miffs my soul the next day. Don't waste your time. My drink - the dragonfruit cocktail quite literally had no vodka in after waiting 50mins for it to arrive. What a let down. Do better. Treat paying customers no matter their colour with respect. *******Boycott if brown skinned******* LET others waste their money in this heinous establishment - sushi is better at waitrose.

My boyfriend and I are Japanese food enthusiasts and even though we knew this would not be the most authentic experience (just from the interior design, name and menu), we decided to visit last friday evening. It was still a complete let down. The service was another thing altogether: on the menu it states omakase (or literally 'leave it to the chef') and when we asked what the sashimi selection was, the waiter looked at a loss, and said it was actually up to us. He then said in a rather blase manner, 'oh there's salmon, some tuna... you know the usuals'. Confused, we probed: Shrimp? Scallop? Fatty or lean tuna? He just nodded and shrugged his shoulders. Rude, bored, unengaged. The food itself was subpar: scallops too firm, and the wagyu beef bowl was awful: all minced up into unidentifiable bits and much too salty. Even the chicken legs were too sugary and eggplant too saucy. The only good thing was the miso cod. All the dishes were over-seasoned and not refined at all. There also wasn't one Japanese customer or server in sight, which says a lot. Disappointed and will not return.

Nothing authentic about this place. Pre-mixed packet cocktails as admitted by the bar man, and a cheek selling at an average of £16. Even more so, martini glass was half full. Ordered the chicken and prawn katsu buns, weren't bad taste wise but the prawns still had shell on - absolutely a no no in any restaurant. Scallops with asparagus needed something to boost the taste as pretty bland. Finally, another no-no is a waiter that has BO, and quite severely. Due to all this, we waived the descretional service charge of 14% !!!! Thanks Rika Moon, you won't be seeing us again.

Fabolous asian food! Just lovely. My first Yakiniku Chicken, which is unconventional, and it was so good. Alongside I had their rise with vegetables, which in itself was magically good. My wife had the set Tempura menue, and she was as happy as I was.
