Seven Lucky Gods in Bristol, City of

I visited the Japanese restaurant Seven Lucky Gods and was quite satisfied with the taste of the dishes. The fried potatoes were especially delicious – simply amazing. However, there are a few drawbacks. First of all, the menu doesn't indicate the portion sizes, which makes ordering a bit difficult, especially when you're with a group. Additionally, the portion size of some dishes doesn't match the price. For example, for £7, we received a very small piece of fish, which was a bit surprising. It would be great if the restaurant could address these issues. Also, keep in mind that the service charge is included in the bill. Otherwise, everything else was great – nice atmosphere and tasty food.

Just eaten an obsulutely gorgeous meal, super ribs sashimi bento box .well worth a visit .Small just a bit hard to find but worth the search

Great atmosphere, you definitely need a res for popular times. If we are being critical, I’d say the rice used for the rolls is dry, but minor complaint.

Our frequent visits never dissapoint

Delicious food and attentive staff. Love this place.

Beautiful food and good portions. The tapas style is easy to work with and allows you to have your fix of whatever you desire. Waiting service was average, no outstanding negatives or positives. However it is an expensive dinner (£70+ for two of us) and more so with their outrageous 12.5% service charge! This should be scraped in my opinion. Overall, it is nice to do once but perhaps only on a special occasion. Pricey yet yummy, think about this one first. And don't forget your payment card as cashless.

This was one of the best meals I’ve had in Bristol in recent memory. Phenomenal food and really delicious cocktails. We tried the salmon sashimi, plus a bunch of different veggie small plates and everything was outstanding. We can’t wait to go back and try more from the menu!

Located in a container and quite busy makes the atmosphere a bit chaotic and noisy. The waitress suggested me to take 2-3 dishes. with an average price of 10-15£ + drinks it doesn't make it super affordable. Food is ok, but the quantity is not enough in my opinion. water is free tho, but you want a beer I suppose 😁 Service is not particularly fast. You'll seat on benches if on a big table. Small tables have access to power plug for your phone. I took 3 plates and a beer and spent: 39£ + service Friendly staff

Great food, good atmosphere, and the service was on point.

Fantastic place for Asian fusion small plates. The sushi was average but everything else was incredible! I especially liked the charred celeriac!

Smallish menu because each thing on there is absolutely perfected, if I’m ever back in Bristol I’ll go straight back! If your wondering where to eat tonight look no further :)

Been previously to this place 3/4 times and has always been amazing and really tasty food. Went recently and the food didn’t seem to be as good and the service was awful, complete let down!

We went to Seven Lucky Gods on a Tuesday evening, and sat outside because the weather was nice. There was lovely covered seating available. The restaurant style is small plates, so we ordered 8 between the 4 of us. The quantity of each dish was small, but the quality was amazing. We ordered two servings of the arancini as there are just two on each plate, but everything else was good to share amongst 4. In fact, the curry fries were so incredible, we had to order a second serving. Great Southeast Asian fusion-style cuisine, I'll definitely be going back again.

Not my expectation. If you wanna Japanese food, I don’t recommend this restaurant.

Awesome place, delicious food and complementary Champagne for Graduation Girl 🤩🙌🏻🤩... Thank you 🙏🏻

Great place, great team, great food. Very happy graduation meal !!

Been here three times and the food is nice but way overpriced for what you get and small portions. The service is below average, and that is relevant to the three different waitresses I had each time I went.

Nice but better places to spend your money Been here three times and the food is nice but way overpriced for what you get. The service is below average, and that is relevant to the three different waitresses I had each time I went.

We were recommended to go by a friend. No greeting when we arrived. When we asked we were told to find a table which we did. An incredibly rude waitress then came and asked us if we had a booking and then told us they had no tables. Very rude!! Would not return or recommend:-(

A bit disappointing. Ribs were lacking flavour (and meat) - too sweet, not umami enough. KFC and Sichuan cauliflower were both good but not showstopping. The uramaki were both bad. The crab had so little crab in it, it never had any hope of being tasted alongside the kimchi (an already questionable combination), and the mushroom uramaki was tasted by everyone on the table to unanimous agreement it was oversalted. The seaweed salad was a good rendition of the Japanese classic. The deep fried oyster mushrooms desperately needed more sauce and more seasoning and a lighter batter, they're a bit of a thick oily thing. I really like the ideas of the menu (minus crab with kimchi) but the execution was bad. To be prepared for when dining in this area of Bristol though; a good reminder to look away from the centre for good eats. Won't be returning.

Food was alright, but the service was terrible.

Tasty small plates. Best when you can sit outside. The wine was a bit disappointing. Overall a fun place to share food and enjoy Wapping wharf.

Probably the best sushi I've tasted in Bristol, excellent selection of food and drinks.

Food was tasty. Service was polite. Maybe could increase portion size slightly or reduce price. Cider was £6.50 for 330ml which was over priced. Overall very good however.

Really innovative take on asian tapas. Very flavourful and delicious. I really enjoyed it here and will come back.

Tasty small plates. My only negative comment is that there is some disparity in the portion sizes of each dish in terms of size and value for money. Expensive for what you get, especially the edamame beans and the celeriac.

Excellent restaurant in the box park area close to the docks. Small sharing plates perfect for a group and exploring the cuisine. Charming and efficient staff.

Randomly booked this place after seeing multiple reviews and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Having a good look through the menu so many dishes that is up my street I was certainly excited, we were sat outside and under the canopy very street food vibe. Let’s talk about the dishes - I ordered multiple dishes and I’m break them down into my favourite to lest favourite. I’m not going to go too in depth as be here all week, but a quick overview on each dish and how I rated it. 1st - Korean baby back ribs - this was first dish to come out and wow! This was incredible ribs were tender, well seasoned beautiful depth of flavour. Not over sauced actually perfect! This dish alone 9/10 solid! 2nd - Korean fried oyster mushrooms - this dish came out near the end of our plates but wow, it hit the money again solid dish, really crispy batter amazing flavours running throughout with nice little touches 9/10 again! 3rd - chicken katsu curry arancini - was unsure what to expect but really wanted to try this and not be disappointed, really nice balance of flavours the Parmesan cheese with that katsu curry sauce really did work! Could have definitely ate more of those! 4th - Scottish scallops - this probably were I started to want a bit more from the dishes and felt a bit meh, also a solid dish scallops had little flavour dressed well but over powering wasabi just ran through the whole dish, pork belly underneath was crispy but soft and melted like butter, was a nice combo but again the wasabi mayo took over. 5th - spicy Korean fried chicken - look it says what you get it’s good it’s fiery it’s crispy it’s saucy! It’s decent sized thigh maybe a little dry overall inside but flavours deffo hit! 6th - Sichuan Fried Cauliflower - a bit underwhelming when comes to a cauliflower play on dish, no real flavour depth, good charing and portion size but pretty boring dish, when served in a bowl it going to sweat and kinda kill the crispy vibe. 7th / 8th dish are both the fries for me, unseasoned over cooked frozen fries dressed poorly. The curry fires lacked the sauces about 6 fries had touch of sauce on and rest just boring unseasoned fries, and same with kimchi fries again nothing special at all kimchi was ok but wasn’t exciting with that warm acidity and bright flavour. 9th - bbq mackerel filet - lack of any real flavour this dish wasn’t for me, overcooked very dry fish covered up by a heavy sauce. Some people may like this dish but for me it’s a no. The food was good overall I could see what these guys are trying to do, it’s worth a look it’s worth having a go. I would say the service was a bit hit and miss tho, and being sat outside I just never vibe with sitting on benches when eating meals but I know space is limited but we had 3 people on a bench for about 6/8. Overall score here is a 7/10 for me, loads of room for improvement and certainly not bad food by all means, the price point seemed a little steep for the quality on show this time. it is a busy market here with lots of competition and these guys seem to be super busy so they must be doing something right eh!

Excellent food and drinks in a vibrant lively dining setting, the whole area is buzzing. Professional but relaxed service. Delicious food with enough choice for a quick bite with a drink or a feast of sharing plates.

I liked the concept: some small restaurants and business in containers near to the harbour. Seven Lucky Gods is a small restaurant serving Korean/Japanese style food. Supposedly the dishes are tapas-like, 2 or 3 should be enough. I had the kimchi fries, they were so-so, not warm enough and far too much. The kimchi on top of them were nice though. The Scottisch scallops with pork belly were delicious.

Wouldn't even let me poo on the floor. Never again.

I bought a take-away from its ‘sushi to go’ shop. The sushi was prepared the day before. The rice in the sushi is very dry. Will never buy any take-away from this restaurant.

Epic food, epic service. Highly highly recommended. The food was exceptional and the service awesome. Thank you for a superb evening.

Pretty much like what everyone has said in their reviews. This place is an absolute cracker. For casual Japanese / Korean dining this is one of the best I have ever been to. 2 of us shared 6 plates and ranked 5 of them 10 / 10 and the other a 9 / 10. If you are after fancy rather than funky then don’t go; if you have an issue with going to loos that are not directly accessible from the restaurant then don’t go. But if you like really well considered Asian food at decent prices for the quality then you really need to get yourself here. It’s a belter

Great food and vibe, service a little slow on the terrace and had to ask twice to pay the bill.

Really nice place to go and eat but they charge £3.50 for a can of coke which I thought was a bit much considering it literally came from a can. They also add service charge at the end which caught me out and took me over my budget for the meal. Otherwise all good and lovely staff. I'll come back but will be aware of these things in the future.

Scallops was delicious as was the tuna. Some over seasoned dishes ie mackerel and Korean fried mushroom. But generally sushi was v v expensive for too small quantity. Lunch Bentos are better value.

We came to 7LG for my partner's birthday and were very impressed by how much intense flavour every dish had. We're huge fans of Korean fried chicken and we both agreed that this was probably the best we've ever had. Would highly recommend the peanut cauliflower as well! Our server was exceptionally lovely (didn't catch their name but long, dark hair with blonde underneath) and is an absolute asset to the restaurant :)

Staff were not nice and tried to refuse us entry. I think it may have been because we had a 2 year old with us but he was not crying or causing any problems. We had this place recommended by a friend and they did warn us the service can be off-putting.

I come here for the lunch bento very often. Food is decadent ❤️, prices reasonable, staff warm and friendly. They have a couple of tables outside, under a big canvas covering, which is really pleasant when the weather is warm and also when it's lightly raining. 😊

Wanted to catch up with a friend and he recommend I try this place with him, as he had tried it the previous week and had loved it. He was not wrong in his assessment. Staff were super attentive, friendly and informative. My friend was running late, so the waiter straightaway kindly extended our booking. The food was outstanding. We ordered 6 dishes (a number recommended by the waiter) and the flavour of every dish was sensational. As a veggie, I would also say that both the brocolli and the cauliflower dishes were far beyond typical veggie fare flavour-wise, with the cauliflower probably being the best cauliflower dish I have ever tasted (let's face it, it can often be pretty bland...but not here!). An overall exceptional meal, with the only drawback being how expensive it is (came to over £70 for two of us with four drinks in total, two of them soft) which was a lot, considering I could actually have eaten more. Eitherway, I'll probably be returning

Very good restaurant, good service, well presented dishes, fried chicken was amazing.

I ordered the Korean chicken, baby back ribs, pineapple juice, curry fries & sake. The ribs tasted like perfection, chicken was delicious too. I sat in the outdoor section & loved the minimalist feel it had, it was also great to get some sun! The service was great too. I can't wait to show up when next I am in Bristol!

Menu concealed that 90%(!) of items were NOT available. If you skip past the easily seen "bentos available 12-5pm" then, in very small text you can see that all the OTHER items are not available! The tempura soft-shelled crab uramaki had interesting sounding ingredients, but it turned out to be impossible to distinguish them. Summary: as advertised, but disappointing.

Great food! You should definitely try the food here and I recommend to book in advance

We shared 5 dishes between the two of us for dinner, which was plenty. Food came out quickly. The Korean fried chicken and soft shell crab were standouts but everything was delicious. This was our second visit and both times have been excellent. Super friendly staff too.

Easy and good value. Good location

Went out for a birthday meal her and I have to say. The food is sooooooooo good. Honestly, if youre looking for a treat or a cute date night go here! You will not regret it! Try the cauliflower, the Korean chicken and the ribs. Unbelievable!

We had an incredible lunch. Between my husband and I we had 5 small plates which was perfect. Lovely service and excellent atmosphere. We highly recommend.

Went here a couple months ago with a voucher that we were given over Christmas. My girlfriend has a sesame allergy, which we found out was the one allergy that couldn't be catered for, but unfortunately we had no choice. Our waiter, who was also the manager, was incredible and made sure we could try as many dishes as possible, with the additional issue of me being gluten-free. The food was great and we were incredibly well taken care of. Thanks for saving the evening!

Cost me £10 of 4 small pieces of chicken at Newport Market. I’d hate to think if I ordered the small 😂 I asked for no Spring onion, “suprise” it was laced with it. Tasted good but not worth the money. Bigger portion or lower price and I’d be back

Salty, spicy, pricey... could eat a bucket of that chicken

Absolutely delicious. Loads of choice and price points and really friendly service

Very delicious food. Ended up finishing every last bit. The cauliflower was the best dish - though perhaps don't finish all the sauce as you will be chugging water all afternoon from the salt.

What a cute little venue! SLG is in one of the converted shipping containers at Wapping Warf and is definitely worth a visit if you haven't already. There are options for everyone, including vegan options that are full of flavour and left me feeling full and satisfied. I paid £10 for a large veggie bento bowl, which had Sichuan fried cauliflower, sticky rice, mushrooms, edamame etc. I would definitely recommend this place, and the service was quick and friendly too.

Japanese/Korean fusion cuisine restaurant Concept of small plates that allow you to taste several à la carte creations. Everything is excellent, well measured and balanced in terms of flavors. You will find spicy, fried or even raw elements. If you are a fan of Japanese beers, you will find Asahi on tap! Large varieties of cocktails with Japanese flavors. Very pleasant and attentive staff, pleasant and friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend, to do and redo. If you want to dine there, remember to make a reservation

I came here for a birthday dinner, and it was absolutely amazing!! certain dishes are definitely better value for money. The salmon sashimi is £12 for just 4 slices and some microgreens, whereas the mapo tofu is £9 for a nice bowl of rice, mushrooms, and tofu. standout dish was definitely the fried katsu balls. They were so savoury and really had that katsu flavour, which went amazingly with the parmesan. the mussels with kimchi jiggae were also great, had a rich seafood flavour, and the kimchi broth was perfect slurped up with the mussels. there were some things that weren't so great though, the serving sizes for everything is tiny, but this is that kind of restaurant so you can't complain too much. The korean fried chicken could be better, the sauce was nice, although a bit too sweet, and the chicken was dry and overcooked. Overall though, this was a great experience! Our server was very nice and came back to check on us at the perfect times throughout our meal. Would definitely recommend this if you want a nice treat

Really enjoyed our visit, all the food was amazing, all the staff were lovely. Definitely would recommend

Second time we've been to this restaurant. Food was every bit as good as the first. The service was excellent, staff are very friendly.

A decent concept restaurant. Lovely small plates, which are quite reasonably priced. I loved the wings and sushi!

Tasty food if you like spicy stuff! The curry fries are great!

The best food I have had for a long time. Great atmosphere and service too

Menu just gets better and better each time we go!

Food was absolutely delicious, staff were very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was fun. Can't wait to go again.

After reading some comments I know why other people is complaining: front of house couldn't be more rude. In special there is a blonde guy with very short hair that makes you feel unwelcome since the moment you show up. The food in the other hand is totally delicious. I just hope management would make something about that, as it is a shame that a great place like this is ruined by the lack of good service.

Lovely selection of food here. A bit pricey, some seating open to the elements and toilets not directly on site.

Wow, just wow! Arancini and fried chicken that could save your life! Friendly, efficient service and super tasty food!

Been here a few times now, and always blown away with the quality of the food, service and vibes. The loaded fries portion size has been halved mind but I won’t mark them down for that, everything is delicious. Highly recommend the baby back ribs and spicy fried chicken!

The sushi I had was average. The rice and the prawn tempura in it were too cold. I liked the Sichuan fried cauliflower. It was amazing.

Came here in September and been meaning to review as the food was soo delicious! The last time I came (about a year ago) the food had really dipped in quality in my opinion, but very happy that its now back up to its amazing standard! Everything tasted amazinggg and was cooked perfectly. I asked one of the waiters and they said there had been a new chef in the last year which explains the change - keep up the good work!!

Had a lovely evening here. The service was brilliant (thank you Joe!) and the food was delicious. Great range of tasty vegan options and not a meat sub in sight! Inspiring me to be a better cook 😅 The drinks also looked amazing, will be getting someone else to drive next time!

Food was incredible!! Would recommend the katsu aranchini, sichuan cauliflower and the miso celeriac. Food arrived quickly and the staff were helpful.

Really splendid dinner. We tried a good variety of dishes, with helpful recommendations from the manager. Everything was delicious but the highlights were the kimchi mussels and the scallops with pork belly. Yum!

Stopped here for a quick lunch on a Saturday afternoon - the service was friendly and the food was very good. We tried the korean ribs, kimchi fries and salmon sashimi which were all excellent and well presented. I would definitely come back to try more of the menu as it all sounded delicious.

Very overhyped place. Been wanting to come for ages. Convinced 3 other friends of going. Service was very lacklustre. Staff seem apathetic. No smiles. No check ups. You feel like you're doing them a favour my being there. We ordered drinks (£7 for Asahi is ridiculous). We ordered several dishes. What we liked: - Korean fried chicken - Cauliflower - Tenderstem brocoli - Tofu with mushroom and rice What we thought was OK. - Scallops and pork - pork was very fatty What we didn't like: - Salmon sashimi- ponzu sauce very watery, tasteless and adds nothing to the dish - Kimchi and curry fries. More like fries topped wish kimchi and curry. Would prefer if fries are tossed in spices rather than dumped on top. -Mussles- yes, in kimchi sauce but dish was quite tasteless. Mussles very tiny. Worst dish of the whole meal. Definitely would not recommend this place. I know the interior is meant to feel rustic but tables were not clean nor were the side plates. Insult to injury, a 12.5 % service charge for pretty poor service.

Delish food & lovely inside. Would highly recommend & definitely come again. :) Wish they offered the bento boxes on weekends!

Went there for lunch . Food is good but expensive for what it is. Cauliflower was the highlight . Manager has no idea about customer service . I dared reflect on the cost of £6.50 for a can of beer. He proceeded to condescendingly comment that this was clearly stated on the menu and if i did not like it i should leave or not ordered it in the first place . He then proceeded to bang down a bottle of wine on the table in front my wife. Totally unacceptable behaviour. We proceeded to have a lovely meal , the table service was good. This individual unfortunately let himself and this fine establishment down through his behaviour. Frankly if the owners are happy with this person fronting their business, good luck to them .

Very busy and fun place to eat. A simple but really interesting menu. Sushi well prepared, great oriental flavours and will spice things up if you ask. Very friendly staff. Love the vibe, love the street food.

The food was really really lovely. Especially the fried cauliflower. Can’t wait to go back! Tom was very friendly. Only criticisms would be how rushed the service felt. We were asked to order within 5 mins of sitting down. Then the plates were cleared minutes before 90 mins was up. Also, during the meal three plates were forgotten about. They were brought out once we flagged it, but we’d finished eating the other bits by then. We were sat outside and that was nice - the heaters were good and the tent kept the rain out.

Solid food, but not particularly authentic. Interesting choice of dishes on the menu with a western twist, Korean Ribs and Chicken were stand out for me. Service, staff and atmosphere were great.

The menu was new to me so a chance to try some things I've not tried before, everyone enjoyed their choices and the service was great for a reasonable price.

A party of us went here last night for a birthday treat. The food atmosphere and service amazing!! The staff were friendly and professional….. Will be looking forward to eating here again!!

The food here is consistently very good. Service is friendly and quick. I rate the lunchtime bento option very highly.

Well what can I say, this was simply phenomenal. They were really busy but managed to get us a table after a short wait (chance to visit a pub before hand), I had some of the most delicious food I've had in a long long time. The service was really friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. Book to go here, do not skip on this place!

A little too relaxed for my liking. Food was alright and had a variety of options for people with different dietary requirements. Service was a little too slow, taking about 20 minutes for the bill. Portions with rice could have a little more rice.

Ate here last night and it was so delicious. Personal favourites were the arancini, cauliflower, and curry fries. The aubergine sushi wasn’t as flavourful as I’d hoped but would be improved with a spicy mayo or katsu mayo I’d say. Overall, would definitely recommend

Fantastic, spicy & flavoursome food. Small menu but everything packs a punch. Great atmosphere and service, too.

Wow, what can I say about this place. The food is amazing, was recommended on Topjaw and so glad I went.I had the bento bowl for late lunch and so good. These guys know what they are doing and the food is great. If you like japanese street food style then definitely go and try it.

The food here is so good plus in a really cool area of Bristol. We absolutely loved our sushi, the portions aren’t huge though

Food was freshly cooked and delightful. Easy recommend.

Very nice food, lovely variety and very well cooked. Very reasonable price. NOISE from the music meant we might have well been at a rave. Only way to converse with our friends was to shout. Server thought the the noise was cool as he could bop around the resturant and "why wouldn't you like it?".

If you like Japanese/ Tapas this is somewhere you have to try. Every dish is stunning. They recommend 2-3 dishes per person and this is right. But as we loved the dishes we always end up ordering more.

Staff and venue were great but food tasted incredibly bland. Also very over priced, £7 for an asahi??

Fantastic service. Very, very friendly and competent staff. I recommend booking a table in advance because they have a lot of guests, but it's really worth it. The food was delicious and wonderfully presented. Cocktails worth recommending. We will definitely go back there.

We had a great meal here on Sunday night. We were seated quickly and shown the menu and specials. The menu has a good choice of tapas selections but not so much you need hours to read the menu. Prices range from £3 for some information the veg smaller meals up to £9/10 for the main meat/fish based tapas meals. Good choice of wines, beers and soft drinks. I had a very tasty peach beer. For the two of us we chose six dishes plus a shared dessert. Perfect amount of food (for us). Highlight were the katsu curry arancini balls and the Korean BBQ chicken and the Korean spare ribs and Sichuan fried cauliflower. To be honest, all our dishes were great and special mention for the Yuzu ice cream sando for dessert. Very good service and very quick food preparation as well. A worthy 5 star experience.

Absolutely incredible food and one of the best meals I have ever eaten. Best of all, they took my gluten intolerance seriously and I was able to have a large amount of the dishes gluten free. The restaurant is casual and cool inside, and the menu fairly small but with some interesting options. Everything looked and tasted delicious, and I kept thinking "This cannot be gluten free!", but I was absolutely fine afterwards. Really friendly staff too, and would definitely recommend and visit again. We had some sushi, tuna tataki, curry fries, ribs, seaweed salad, kimchi and pickled cucumbers, as well as a nice sake. YUM!

Located in the second floor as container rooftop, this resto has indoor and outdoor seats. We really enjoy their Meat Bento (only avail WD 12PM-5PM!) because it has crispy pork in it and not sold separately. Arancini is also good! Inside is Japanese potato curry. Definitely will come here again.

Well this was a delicious find. 10 dishes between three of us and all were delicious. A good variety to choose from and service was efficient and friendly. Tuna, ribs, salmon and the pork with scallops all a must for next time. Cocktails pack a punch and you can taste the alcohol. Highly recommend. A great sharing experience.

Cracking find. In perhaps the funkiest part of Bristol. Lots of indies creating a real buzz. This is great dining. Recommend.
