SushiYa Glasgow in Glasgow City

Sushi was delicious, attention great.

I recently visited Nuku Nuku with my wife, and unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to our expectations. While I’ll speak primarily for myself, it’s fair to say that neither of us enjoyed our visit. From the moment we arrived, the service felt rushed and inattentive. It seemed like a delivery was being handled at the same time we were trying to place our order, and I got the impression the staff were more focused on that than on us as customers. I was trying to get a feel for the menu and asked the hostess a few questions, but it felt like I was being hurried along rather than helped. I ordered one of the set meals, which came with a few different items. Unfortunately, everything I received was overly oily — to the point where it overwhelmed any potential flavour the dishes might have had. I left feeling unsatisfied and a bit disappointed, especially considering I was genuinely excited to try the place. First impressions matter, and sadly, Nuku Nuku just didn’t make a good one for me. I hope this was just an off day for them, but based on this experience, I’m not in a rush to return.

Disappointing meal to be honest. The sashimi was nice, but the miso soup was not great and neither was the agedashi tofu or the rest of the food. Don’t get me wrong, it was fine in parts (ie acceptable). But I didn’t leave feeling good and I won’t return. The mayo seemed thick like it was out of a cheap bottle, the beef texture was not pleasant, the speciality dragon roll was not great. The American server was also quite clueless, we asked about whether a bowl was from and she just said ‘don’t ask me’ and that was her approach to any questions. The setting and crockery is beautiful. But sadly, the food just wasn’t anywhere near the standard of sushi and Japanese that we had in Edinburgh. I wanted to love this place, but it just wasn’t for me. This was a disappointing (expensive) meal, sadly.

Great food, and staff. Highly recommended.

Reasonable food the reason for rating is that it is overpriced and they also stuck a £40 service charge on the bill
