Delicious yakisoba and beef curry as our mains. Excellent tempura and spring rolls for sides. Loved that rice came with the curry at no extra cost. Friendly, efficient staff. Good range of drinks. Central location and nice ambience.

Been here loads in the last few months and it’s amazing every time. Fire alarm went off this time, wasn’t a big deal at all - some people thought differently but that’s their problem - we had a lush time and they dropped 10% off the hill for the inconvenience which we’d have happily paid as it was as great as ever, lush scran each and every time. Staff brilliant and food unreal, we’ll be back asap

Currently my fave restaurant! Wish could go more often but live 45 miles away! We always order temaki salmon rolls, the soft shell crab and ox tongue on hot plate. Spicy kimchi ramen and salmon tartare are delicious too. Staff are always friendly and efficient. Considering everything is cooked to order, the wait time is relatively quick. Definitely recommend 👍

First and last time sadly. Staff miserable. Couldn’t be bothered. We asked if we could order a side of katsu curry sauce as we had ordered too much rice. Said not possible. They sell Katsu Chicken as a main meal. We asked if they can do a side of noodles. They said no. They sell plenty of main dishes with noodles. Spent over £100 while entertaining friend from down south, and a very disappointing evening. Even asked if we could move to a seating booth, rather than a regular table, and told no it was booked (he sounded unsure) - and ten minutes later we see them give it to a walk-in.

I ordered the beef bulgogi but it has nothing to do with the real bulgogi, it's just some stew with no sauce, very expensive for some random beef. It used to be better. All the food is not cooked asian specific. It's bland and tasteless. Even the rice is tasteless with no salt or condiments
Hanna . 2024-07-19

The bulgogi is flavourless, with no actual sauce, just stale marinated beef. Can't even be called bulgogi at that point. The rice tastes dry and old. The beef has been velveted poorly very powdery. A home cooked bulgogi by 90% of people is much better. The beef had a charred flavour(not the good wok kind just tasted bitter burnt). The salmon teriyaki is a lump of stale rice with the tiniest piece of salmon coated in flavourless teriyaki(?) sauce and the rest of the plate is compensated by vegetables that haven't even been cut properly.

Visited here Sunday afternoon with my partner, we hadn’t booked but got seated straight away. Lovely calm atmosphere, great service really efficient. Food was absolutely great, recommend the chicken katsu curry and chicken ramen. Only feedback is that the wine is quite pricey, what was a ‘large’ glass of sauv blanc was smaller than you expect and felt overpriced at £6.50 for the size, beers and some other drinks are reasonably priced. Overall definitely recommend and we will be back :)

The service and the atmosphere was really nice, but if you have a sensitive stomach I really do not recommend going 😭. I had chicken ramen and some salmon maki and my stomach is killing me 😭😭😭😭😭. The broth to the ramen was not really good and then the people I was with had chicken teriyaki which I wasn’t a major fan of but I think that’s down to opinion. However the waiters were so nice and the place is pretty it just spends what you want from a dining experience

Used Uber eats to order a birthday meal - we had been wanting to try for a while, perhaps it was good we hadnt...! Food is on the expensive side, but happy to pay for quality....except thats not really what we got. The momos are essentially gyozas - which is dissapointing and also misleading - expecting something steamed only to get something fried. The duck baos were good. Our main issue lies within the 2 curries we ordered - one chicken and one pumpkin katsu. They sent the chicken katsu with the advertised rice and as a curry dish - expect there were bits of undercooked chicken. The pumpkin one however came with no rice or sauce....so we called the restaurant to try and resolve. They said they would send out the full dish and pick up the pumpkin here - perfect - fine. Lady on phone seemed unbothered by undercooked chicken. 35 mins passes - they advise they will not be sending anything out - so the incorrect pumpkin we had actually recieved has now been sat in a tupperware since it left their restaurant an hour and a half ago.....so now cold and soggy? Again...no mention of the undercooked chicken. They have also only mentioned the pumpkin issue to uber- meaning the ticket is now closed and we cannot raise any other issues. Dissapointing - unfortunately couldnt reccomend food or service - which is a shame.

First impression, this is a busy restaurant during meal times. There are 2 levels of sitting. The main level which is busy, and the basement, which is kinda sad. Remember to ask for the main level table. Wide range of Japanese and Korean food on the menu and we tried both. Overall, the tastes were pretty authentic. The portion was quite big also, so do ask the staff if you had over ordered. The bulgogi is a bit too dry to my liking but the ramen is on point. Also had some warm sake and I find the price quite comfortable.

Tough one. My ramen was a bit underwhelming – really bland, just a tiny bit of pork and bulked up with tinned sweetcorn. BUT my friend had the beef teriyaki and that was incredible. Loads of tender beef, hot sticky rice, just the right amount of heat etc. Other reviewers have mentioned the loud music which is a bit much but they did turn it down when we asked. Prices very reasonable so I’ll go back for the super beef.

The staff here has never been very nice, but today they were straight-up awful. Once we ordered our food, the waiter came back and told us we had to change our order because the kitchen was busy and it would take too long to make what we wanted. We have been coming here forever and we've never had a problem with this dish before. The manager lady got all pissy and just turned her back on me and walked away. Then, they brought out everyone else's food, but mine was nowhere to be seen. I waited for like 5 minutes and then I asked about my order and was told the kitchen was still making it. I asked to speak to the manager who did not come to see me. When my food was ready, the waiter just threw my plate on the table without even looking at me. I was so offended, and they didn't even have the decency to apologize. Honestly, I've never come across such a rude staff in my life. But, at least the food was good, I guess.

Felt expensive. I would stick to the grill. Probably book in advance. - King prawns (BBQ on sizzling plate) looked impressive, but even though they butterflied them, they left the poop sac in so they were bitter. Not worth £14. - chicken wings had the inconsistent temperature distribution and fall-off-the-bone texture of wings that had been reheated in a microwave. Gochujang flavours were great though. - spicy lamb noodles were alright. The lamb was tender but I’d have preferred thinner noodles. - The nigiri platter was nice but the wasabi tasted cheap, the ginger wasn’t great and there wasn’t premium soy sauce.

We ate here last night and although the food was lovely the service was terrible. We were sat at a table next to a speaker that was blasting music, to the point we couldn’t hear each other talk. I had to ask for it to be turned down. The doors were also wide open where we sat which made it very cold. Two of us ordered a set menu and the other two a small plate for starter and then mains. At first, both small plates arrived with both mains. We asked them to take the mains back so they could eat the starters. About 15-20 minutes later the first part of the set menu arrived, which meant the other two guests had finished their starters. This theme repeated when the mains arrived for the other two guests but the main part of the set menu didn’t arrive until the other two guests had finished their mains. This meant throughout the meal, only half the table was eating at a time. At one point I asked if they could check when the rest of the set menu would come and the person never came back to tell me. We were also never offered extra drinks, we had to flag someone down to ask. The same for cutlery, one person was sat with their starter for a while before we could flag someone down to ask for it. The food was really tasty but unfortunately the service really let the meal down and would prevent me returning.

The restaurant is clean and visually appealing- really nicely decorated, you definitely can feel like you are in a higher end restaurant and it is a very pleasant experience simply just sitting at the table. When it comes to prices, the menu offers cheap and affordable options which is greatly appreciated as it can fit all budgets. What caught my attention was the intriguing fact that this restaurant offers a split menu with Japanese and Korean food which is a nice option to have in Newcastle when you can't decide which cuisine you would rather enjoy that day. Another reason this restaurant caught my attention was because they have Ja Jang Myun on their menu, which in my experience is a difficult find. Despite this fact, I have actually not ordered this meal during my visit and have instead ordered Yuk Gae Jang and a Tuna Temaki Roll which are both pictured in my photo. The soup has stayed hot for very long and it made me fall behind when eating this dish so the company I had with me had to sit there waiting for me to finish- even so, I had to take the rest of the meal back home. The soup did taste nice, not as flavourful as I wanted it to be but the spiciness level was pleasant as it was not the type that you need to chug milk after. The temaki was also tasty and fresh but I feel like it could be more flavourful in some ways. I have not come back yet to this restaurant despite the pleasant experience, however, writing this review has made me wonder why haven't I visited again? Unable to find a reason as to why I decided I definitely will be coming back soon to try the other dishes their menu has to offer and I am looking forward to it.

Had a table booked for 6pm, had to wait ten minutes for it to be ready and then ordered five meals straight away with a member of staff, from the table. By 6.50 we asked when it would be ready and explained that if it didn't arrive soon we would have to go as we were on our way to a football match. We were told our order would be the next out of the kitchen - which it wasn't as I could see other orders coming out of the kitchen door. When we were eventually served, over an hour after we had arrived, only three of the five meals we had ordered arrived! There was no explanation why, no apology and no attempt to rectify this. Appalling situation. I feel sorry for the staff as it was very busy, but the restaurant should not take bookings for diners on match days if they cant cope with high volumes. The staff were running round like headless chickens - I watched one waiter carry a plate of soft shell crab around the place and in / out of the kitchen three times before finding the right table. The table next to us were given a random starter they hadn't ordered but did not get their mains, again with no explanation. Never again ...

The place looked clean. Waiters were helpful and discrete. Location is easy enough to get to from Eldon square and from any of the Multistory carparks. My friend who came with me will probably have noticed I was not overly excited over the food. Maybe we were chatting too much - but the food was cold when I started to eat it. Perhaps it's my ignorance, that Japanese/Koreans don't have their food piping hot. It was "nice" enough, but for the price, I wanted to be amazed. This was not amazing! It was "good enough" so as not to be "bad." The Sake (£2.50 for 25ml) was over rated; it was like a whisky that's gone moldy; not a fan. The grilled squid, whilst tasting grilled, lacked taste in the sauces that accompanied it. The sushi - was poor; didn't excite me at all. And the Miso Soup was bland; and was in very small bowls. All the portions were small. No salt too - and poorly seasoned. I will not be coming back - sorry. My friend loves this place, but my Filipino mam can make better squid and miso soup. Why pay the money for something inferior to home cooking?

I would like to give this a higher rating, but the seafood dish was meagre in the seafood it contained - perhaps trying to keep prices down is affecting portion size - and the pork dish needed more attention to the cutting up of the pork, unless that is, Koreans expect long stringy lengths of meat? Some dishes are very spicy, and unlike many sub-continent restaurants there is no menu symbol to indicate how how the dishes are. Staff were friendly and service was speedy, although it took a bit of time before anyone noticed us and came to take us to a table. It was also odd to be asked if we had booked in a restaurant where few tables were occupied either when we arrived or during the whole of our stay. I would give it another go, my companion might not be so willing to do so.

Never eating here again. My friend was served raw chicken with her ramen and when asked for it to be re made, the waiter didn’t apologise. The new dish came back with the wrong noodles and the chicken still raw. When bringing this up the waiter didn’t apologise again and just suggested we cancel the order instead of getting a new one? I woke up the next day with food poisoning. It was also very hard to get ahold of a server when needing assistance and they missed off a starter we had ordered.

Attended here with my wife and another couple. It was the night of the Sam Fender gig and the bar was packed, but we found a table downstairs and when the servers got time to come and attend as they were very pleasant. They had a good range of beers and some nice cocktails. We shared a seafood platter, teriyaki beef, chicken noodles and some miso soup. Generally the food was very good. I wouldn’t necessarily say it was excellent, but each of the individual components on the seafood platter were really tasty. There was this grilled barbecue octopus which was really delicious. Also, as per other reviews, the scallops and the soft shell crab were both really good too! All in all, I would definitely attend again lunch or dinner!

On arrival we were put into a small corner by the bar, where we had the phone ringing in our ear all night with a wobbly table and wobbly chairs. My girlfriend ordered a ramen which was nice, and I ordered the ribeye steak medium-rare which came well-done and dry, with no flavour. The rice was tasty but was such a small portion that after the rice and a steak I had to get a pizza from tesco on the way home. We also ordered sushi that came way after we finished our meal, which looked and tasted like it had been sat out for hours. The wine was as expected and reasonably priced, and there was a good atmosphere. I'm willing to put it down to a bad day because most of the reviews are stellar but I left very disappointed and probably won't bother coming back.

I'd like this review to be useful and easily readable, so I'll write in bullet points: - We, a party of two 30-year-olds, visited on a quiet Wednesday evening (18:00) - Only 2 other tables occupied on arrival - Venue was very loud, we had to move table and it was still too loud - Waiter was suuuper moody, but we don't hold that against him - The order: Spicy Pork Belly Ramen (x2)- broth had zero flavour, noodles were completely waterlogged, mushy Prawn Tempura - crisp, the sauce was good, straight from a bottle, useless half a cucumber on the plate, however Takoyaki - undercooked, raw inside, octopus was the size of a grain of rice, somewhat saved by the sauce, again - straight from a bottle Kimchi Set - cucumber and radish dishes were fine, chilled and quite plain, but the cabbage was warm, and tasted and smelled very bad I have both lived in and travelled Japan and South Korea extensively and can confidently say that this is a very poor representation of their respective dishes. The cabbage kimchi should not be sold like that, it was disgusting. I'm still on the hunt for decent ramen in Newcastle.

We actually had 3 lunches here in the same week. The place has a nice atmosphere and the staff were friendly. The food arrived in good time and was superb, also well priced we though, especially the Korean Ribs as there was such a generous portion. We had a mix of Japanese and Korean dishes - all excellent. Will be back again!

Food is legit and served beautifully ❤️ personally I love the avocado salmon and the sweet potato chips 😍 The place is great to hang out and located at the city centre

Decided to give it a try since I tried most asian, sushi palces around. For the not very generous prices, the service and food were quite bad. My spicy korean fried chicken was ultra sweet, at least I had desert I guess. The portions are very, very small, you'd think fancy restaurants usually offer smaller portions but better quality in food, nope The second chicken portion I got was charred on the outside and close to undercooked on the inside (sign of the food just being thrown on an already hot pan, probably used to cook other dishes beforehand). Very low portion of salmon in the salmon dish, forgot one of the key ingredients in the tobiko dish. Literally no salt on anything. Staff was polite enough but hard to get their attention even though it wasn't busy.

Have visited here several times. The food is always delicious. We tend to go for small 4 or 5 plates and share.

Nice location, with friendly staff. The sushi is always lovely, and the Bao Buns are my absolute favorite. The ramen is a bit hit or miss, the first time the broth was incredibly salty, the following time the broth was perfect but the piece of chicken was chewy and gristly. On more than one of my visits our drinks have been forgotten & we have had to ask for them after our food arrives.

Absolutely terrible service had to ask for cutlery after waiting 40 minutes for food which was bland soggy and Luke warm staff just didn't seem as if they knew what they had to do the restaurant is actually in a bouncing bar with music blasting I couldn't here the waitress or even have a conversation with my wife it was that loud I have never experienced anything like it in my life I would definitely not go back and would definitely not recommend to my worst enemy it was that bad there is much better places to eat but if you like sitting in a night club and dining go for it!

We had our Valentine's lunch here and chose the hot plate set meal. It was absolutely amazing. The chef was full of fun and frolics and the food was delicious. It was great to watch your food being made in front of you. He was full of chat and the waitress was lovely to. We will definitely be returning soon.

Visiting friends and they organised lunch at Fuego’s. Had the tortilla and it was delicious. Spent hours after in the shop spending far too much money (but managed to get a fair bit of Christmas shopping done). Loads of choice and the staff were really helpful and friendly
