Visited on a Sunday afternoon for their 2-4-1 Cocktails. They have a nice large indoor bar and dining area as well as a number of outdoor seating. Great place to visit for drinks and food with friends.

Always great food and a nice menu that changes slightly every few month. Attentive staff except when I asked for tap water 3 times and only got it on the 4th time. But other then that it’s always a great experience

Had a voucher for this restaurant and while the food was alright, the service and atmosphere were not great. Servers were not interested and we waited 30m after sitting down to be offered a drink (which we thought was odd). With other restaurants in the neighbourhood I’d give this a miss if you have the choice.

The family arrived after me was greeted first when I was standing right next to them and it was obvious I arrived first. I was speechless, thankfully the nice lady pointed out I should be served first. During the meal the service is slow, cold and inattentive. The food is mediocore. Fish main dish is way too small.

A restaurant in the heart of the city offering a good assortment of dishes to suit all tastes. The food was unfortunately very mediocre, lacking depth of flavour and complexity. The pollock, although tasty, was extremely small portioned. Service was slow although the restaurant was not busy at the time. Would give it another chance but wouldn’t recommend it at this time.

Place was not busy, waiter had to serve only 3 tables including ours. He forgot to bring 2 dishes and one coctail. He never even questioned anything when I was the only one sitting without food and my wife without drink. After we told him he never even apologised properly, or suggested any reasonable solution. Very irresponsible service. Food was ok.

So unfortunately there were some problems with the service, missing drinks and food, deserts arriving with the mains. However, the staff were exceptional, these things happen, it’s life, they realised their mistake and they were very good. The food quality was amazing, the deserts were great. We were given complimentary drinks. It wouldn’t put me off coming back at all. Overall a lovely place to eat, nice day with the sun too.

Very friendly waiters and lovely wine for a reasonable price. However, the lock to the toilet is broken. And frankly, it looked like it has been for quite some time. I did not expect that in this kind of place. I would advice to have it sorted ASAP and in the meantime find a temporary solution.

5 pieces of tortellini for a main course is very poor value for money and whilst it tasted ok, the service was poor (wrong drink, not replaced for 20 mins until we reminded them, then plonked on the table by a man in a jacket who had clearly just come in from a break and made to serve us, no hand wash first ) . Other people in the group said the burger was distinctly average. Not going there again

We were gifted a wine tasting and rocked up at 28-50 Oxford Circus for the experience. Firstly may I say type in market place and not Great Portland Street as that got us completely lost. It really is only 2 mins walk from Oxford circus tune station. We sat at the bar and Mark the sommelier hosted us for the evening and wow what an amazing experience he gave us. We wanted to try wines that we wouldn’t normally order so after a few get to know us questions Mike started serving up the wines he thought we’d like. His knowledge of the wines and the regions were exemplary and his story behind each bottle made our experience exceptional. Thank you Mike, you are awesome and I would recommend anyone who visits the bar to seek out Mike and I’m sure he will make your evening extra special too.

If I could rate this zero I would. Booked this for a special Xmas dinner with my family. They scammed us by taking our deposit before then not taking it off the final bill for the Xmas dinner. We had to follow up continually after the holidays, they also charged us an"optional" tipping amount without our knowledge. I could forgive all of this if dinner was delicious but no it was so bad, missing most of what was promised and totally inedible... would not recommend on a good day much less on such a special occasion. Shame on the management of this place.

I am sorry to write this as I am sure they are all very nice people, BUT the service was non existent: had to ask for menus 3x, had to ask for our food, had to ask for our sides (2x) wine (2x) and check (3x again) The food was Awful.

Food is ok, nothing too special. I have to say that the two stars for the service are only for the curly-haired guy. He was truly lovely and professional. I cannot say the same about the girl, who was rude and arrogant without any reason. It is not my problem if you hate your job. First of all, you should at least now the services that you offer. Not to mention that when clients even tell you that they have to pay some additional stuff you should be thankful that they do not want to cause any trouble.

5 stars. Lovely restaurant with attentive staff and delicious food. Beautiful decor and the Christmas decorations are subtle but pretty. It wasn't very full which we were quite surprised about as the whole experience was lovely. We went for dinner and drinks. The desserts are big so I would share in future but everything else is just enough to fill you up.

Had Christmas dinner here with my colleagues, and it truly was poor. The smoked salmon starter was literally five tiny slices of warm smoked salmon on a plate with some dill and tasteless sauce. The main dish was a disc shaped lump of lamb, that had a strange consistency, on the thinnest layer of mashed potato. The "chocolate mousse" dessert was the consistency and flavour of Angel Delight. Portions were tiny, wanted some toast when I got home. £55 Service was inconsistent, and when the waiter delivered a shandy in a wine glass, he claimed it was a "new beer glass". What a strange experience.

Typical soul-less restaurant, focused all on looks, rather than substance. The place itself is fairly nice and stylish, especially around the bar area, but that’s pretty much where the positives end, for me. The menu offers a relatively small selection of dishes, including a bit of everything (which I always think is a bad sign), from mussels and oysters to lamb stew, and seems to have been put together with no rationale behind whatsoever. My partner and I ordered a baked goat cheese - which had a thick and slightly soggy breaded coating that made me think it had been frozen, and added nothing to the taste, and was served with bits of nuts and flavourless pear - and a ham hock terrine as a starter. After saying they had to double check if the terrine was available, the waiter confirmed after a little while. When they came back with the dishes, a good 20 minutes later, the terrine was not there. We naturally asked for it again and they, slightly puzzled, replied that it should also be about to come and that they would go and double check with the kitchen. Five more minutes passed, then the waiter came back, apologising that a mistake was made and the terrine was not going to come. I stress that nothing was offered to my partner in compensation for his hopeless 25 minutes wait for food, not a starter or a glass of wine on the house, nothing. I honestly never experienced such a bad service in a restaurant. My partner, reasonably speechless by then, decided to skip the starter and just have the burger he ordered, which obviously was also underwhelming and overcooked. I instead had some pumpkin and sage tortelloni, which were honestly quite nice, but had their potential totally frustrated but how they were served with a bit of runny broth, including a very small amount of diced shiitakes, in a very bad attempt at giving the tortelloni an Asian twist. I summary, in our experience the food was mediocre and badly thought-of, and the service terrible. We will never go back.

Just dinned here recently and had a wonderful time with friends and family. My husband ordered the lamb (not his go to choice) and absolutely loved it. The way it was prepared, it took the "gamey" taste away and it was unbelievably tasty. I ordered the polenta and it also did not disappoint. It was very creamy and flavourful. For dessert I ordered the vanilla creme brulee and it was great. Greatly accessible from the main busy street. Very cozy and warm place. Service was excellent. Drinks were for all people.

We came here for dinner. The service and ambience were fantastic as is the location. We got the olives, artichoke tempura and Arancini to start. All were amazing but the artichoke tempura really stood out. For mains we got the ribeye and fillet steak. The portion of meat was quite small and it did lack some salt but the chips were well seasoned as was the salad. Peppercorn sauce lacked some salt and was slightly too watery. We had an offer so our bill totalled £50 which is good value.

Terrible customer service, great white wine and very decent food (includes 50% off on food promotion via The Fork). Husband and I went for a double date night out with a visiting couple from Scotland to give this place a try and, unfortunately, I’m afraid we won’t be returning. Upon arrival, The Manageress (she never introduced herself, sorry if rude) offered a table by the door. We kindly refused and, after a couple of long faces, accepted to move us away from Narnia. His colleague, The Server (he didn’t share his name either - a habit in 28-50, it seems) came and offered us to try some options for white wine and so on. He was forgettable but kind and polite. Then it was time to take the food order, for which The Manageress came into the scene again. Even though she seemed happier this time and offered us some lovely suggestions, she forgot to check the order back. That meant that one of my guests (who doesn’t eat non-veg on Tuesdays -a Hindu thing-) was presented with a dish containing animal protein - such a killer move 🤦🏻♂️ When we approached The Manageress to let her know of the issue, oh man, she wasn’t happy (again). She agreed to change the main to what we thought my guest had ordered originally, not without making us feel how annoyed she was for the whole thing (walking away without a word, carrying her bad vibes away from the table). In the mean time, the mood at the table was going down hill. I had to apologise at my friends for choosing the wrong venue, my guest had to watch us eat our food for +10mins while he was having some sides to fool his stomach and, surprise surprise, we had to steal the cutlery from the table next door because The Manageress forgot to prelay him with fresh cutlery. Fast forward to the bill, I stepped aside to try to share my feedback with The Server. The Manageress, aware of the scene, comes around very casually to see what’s going on. I decide to face the situation, assuming I’m dealing with a professional, and let her know how my guests and I feel about our experience and I made her aware that, apart from her lack of warmth, the main issue, we feel, was not checking the order - to which she responds that she did check the order… oh, dear… When I let her know about my guest’s choice not to eat meat nor fish on Tuesdays, denoting the fact that had she had indeed read the order back, we would’ve mentioned about the veg Tuesdays deal and avoided the derail of our evenings, she became increasingly irritated (bless her). “Okay, fine.” she exclaims (perhaps acknowledging her fault) “… but I’m only going to remove the service charge”. As if removing a forced tip is somehow a discount… ehem, ehem. Next to us, The Waiter is watching the scene, unaware of how unideal our experience had been until now. The Manageress leaves frame and takes her bad vibes along, while I give The Server a cash tip and I appreciate him for his care. I also gave him some feedback regarding some of the dishes we tried. I must say, apart from the +14 unopened mussels my husband had on his main meal, food is actually very yummy here!!! Shame it all got sort-of-ruined by the fact that the leader of this ship was, presumably, not having a great day. Which happens, don’t get my wrong, we’re all humans - but this is just a sincere run of events told from my point of view. Dramas aside, the Verdichio wine was superb: hyper smooth and great with the starters. We went for Malbec for the mains and the guests also loved it. I recommend the seared tuna, the runner beans side (you get like 1kg of them, together with 6 almonds) as well as the roast potatoes. On the down side, my veggie guest (bless him) did not enjoy his polenta main course but, of course, it may have also been influenced by the whole order-taking fiasco I mentioned before. The question is: in such a saturated market, with so many good options to choose from in the block… will a restaurant like this make it to January? Only time will tell 🤷🏻♂️ Thanks a lot for reading about my last night out, Migs @ 2030 Films Global Conscious Media

First time visit, met up with friends to visit London for the first time in about 3 yrs. The menu looked good... sadly, was average imo. Service was incredibly slow, we were comp'd a bread basket for the incredibly long wait. The food came after just over an hour, wife's steak was cooked incorrectly and my burger was subpar, definitely nothing special. The staff were professional, but not talkative, not engaging, and everyone was speaking very softly for some reason. The place wasn't busy, maybe 7 tables being used, so not sure what was going on, but wasn't a great experience. Most likely there will not be a sequel.

Vomit. That’s what you see in the first picture. Disgusting. The toilets are (by the way) 1 mile away from the dinning room and I can still smell them from home today. Now, I’ll try to post a review objectively. Service was excellent, a waiter was with us all the time making sure all was OK. It would be good to see it they can maintain the standards when the restaurant is packed. Food was awful, we had a cheese and charcuterie board and, apart from two cheeses, everything else was horrible. Tasteless meats and cheeses, it wouldn’t surprise me they were unbranded. Then a fillet and ribeye. They claim it’s aged for 28 days but I think it’s not aged but expired for 28 days. Tasteless, chewy and pretty badly seasoned. Comes with a ready to eat rocket salad. We also had reheated sourdough bread which would have been better if it wasn’t off. Comes with an average butter (again, probably unbranded) Tempura artichokes weren’t too bad but you can smell and taste the vegetable oil they’re fried with. I’d expect a decent olive oil at least. Price was insane, about £200 for the three of us without any wine. It doesn’t surprise me that the restaurant was half empty on a Saturday night. I can’t believe how this has more than 4 stars.

If your looking for a break from the hustle of Oxford Street head here. It’s an Oasis of calm for weary shoppers and those who work locally. The food was great, had a Tuna in a broth with Pak choy. Beautifully presented and the taste sublime. Friend had the lamb shoulder, which was described by the waitress as a brick. It looked like one but my friend said it was delicious with a hearty bean stew below. Drinks were good too. My Long Island iced tea kicked in a few minutes after drinking it. The follow up Chablis was the correct temp and lovely. The best thing is the service. All waiting staff were friendly and happy to help in anyway. Thank you !

Unfortunately while giving us menus, the waitress broke a glass on our table and the shattered glass went onto me, cutting one of my fingers.

I am a huge 28-50 restaurant fan…. And have been to most of them. We booked the unlimited oysters and champagne offer in 90 minutes, I even called ahead to find out which restaurants were participating and booked Market Place - Oxford Circus. It was with my cousins from New York. When we sat, I even said this to the staff and confirm that we wanted unlimited oysters and champagne. Initially we were served with 4 oysters, which we finished and asked if they could bring out more at one time. They said this was the policy, so after 15 minutes they served another 4 oysters. Each time we finished we had to get the attention of the staff, even though it was an unlimited offer the food was not topped up automatically. Incidentally there were 4 tables at the time and no one else was having oysters. After 1 hour we had 20 oysters between 4 people, which clearly was not unlimited, in fact I could have asked for two dozen oysters in a normal restaurant and would have been served this immediately. After 1 hour we then spoke to the manager who seemed to say that this was a problem with the marketing department of 28-50! I said whilst we understood there was no reason why they were unable to serve us a dozen or so oysters each time. I also said I would be happy to speak to the marketing department, she suggested I send them an email!. Even after the discussion another 4 came! Then finally at the end we were given a dozen with a bottle of champagne we could finish. Then after the time had passed they gave us 6 more. I am just totally confused as to why this was not done at the beginning? It was an embarrassing experience at a such a lovely place. If it’s unlimited it should be unlimited without having to feel like you have to beg for food especially when it’s £70 per head, about £105 or if we included the other food we ordered. Hope this feedback is useful. I tried to leave review on Openable but that does not work.

I’ve had a really good time here, the restaurant is located very conveniently and the food was excellent. I’ve had the goat’s cheese and chicken supreme with new potatoes which were very tasty. Everybody from the table complimented their food which is a statement to the place. The service was a bit on the slow side as there was a mix up and our mains were sent to the kitchen very late; however, the staff made sure to turn our experience around. Special shout out to the manager of the venue who made sure our food came out asap as well as treated us to complimentary drinks and a further discount. Will be back for sure.

Having read the reviews, I was unsure what to expect. On arriving, we were taken to our table and had to wait 20+ minutes for someone to take our drinks order. We had ordered a bread, starters and mains. Unfortunately the bread never arrived. The starters were nice, but the mains were a big let down. I had ordered the lamb shank but found it dry with a very watery gravy. Fortunately the waiter had comped some of the food to compensate which is the only reason I won't give them 1 star. I expect better at these prices!

I really like this place and wanted it to work. But service on this occasion was terrible. Was hosting business guests and had promised a fast turnaround. The team was polite and pleasant but did not recognise the need for efficient service. I arrived ten minutes ahead of guests gave a clear brief and yet it took 35 minutes to get anything more than water, 45 to get a menu. I had to constantly stand and approach staff when I should have been hosting. Terrible and nearly 500 pounds for the pleasure. This is the closest decent place to my work - but FFS - I am a pretty relaxed customer but this was one of the most annoying dining experiences I have had.

The atmosphere is nice but the service was very slow under pretty normal (I.e. not significantly busy) circumstances. Our server was very absent minded and continuously forgot to bring out simple orders of wine and small starters. Would recommend customers go elsewhere for lunch.

Absolutely amazing place to visit in this restaurant. Great British food to choose from. Absolutely love the grilled octopus tasty! Worth coming here for those who want some experience in central London.

A small group of us visited 28-50 Oxford Circus for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. It was very well located just off of Oxford Circus (the name gives it away) and it’s easy to find. Upon entry, we were greeted by the very friendly staff and sat at a lovely table for three. There were several things that made our visit special. Firstly, the staff – they were very friendly, and nothing was too much trouble, they genuinely seemed to want to give us the best time possible. Secondly, the food – we ordered some Charcuterie and other light lunch bites to eat alongside a bottle of wine. I cannot convey how delicious everything we had was. The Charcuterie was next level, and was one of the best I’ve ever had – the table agreed to. Finally, the restaurant itself – it was gorgeous and felt really exclusive. What was booked for a light lunch and drinks with friends far surpassed all of our expectations, and it was truly a fantastic experience from start to finish. I will certainly return again in the future, and I would highly encourage you to plan a visit yourself!

Amazing sushi and efficient service. Be sure to try the pumpkin katsu as it is the best menu item and will not disappoint! The beef teriyaki is a hit or miss as it is sometimes crispy and delicious but sometimes cut too big and ends up being chewy however I would still recommend.

Came here on a Friday night for dinner. The cocktails were quite nice and some entrees like the prawns and arancini were tasty. The mains were a different story, the cod I ordered was just not pleasant at all.. the flavours left a horrible taste in my mouth and I couldn’t eat more than a couple of bites. My friends all tried it too and said the same thing so I’m not sure if it’s just us or the cod dish is simply just not a good dish. Aside from that we still had an okay time, the staff were a bit slow though (we had to ask multiple times for things like water, our cutlery and bill)

Cannot fault the restaurant. This was my second time visiting 28-50 and the food remained high quality. Ordered the cod with mussels and saffron for mains and was delicious. We got the truffle arancini balls for starters and these were great as well. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

I had an excellent celebratory birthday dinner here last night with 3 girlfriends. The mushroom vol au vent and the chicken supreme were delicious. We were looked after by Helena & Ruben, both of whom went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed and had a good time. Thank you to them for making the evening so successful. We all agreed we will be definitely be returning & look forward to sampling the cocktails ( decided against it for Monday night! ). Professional, fun, relaxed, knowledgeable, good food and lovely atmosphere. Well done 28-50.

Evening meal on a Friday. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Managed to get 50% off for our meals. Free Prosecco too! It’s quite hidden behind Oxford Street.

Restaurant atmosphere is good, not too loud and was not busy when we went. We utilised a Time out 3 course meal offer. Food was very disappointing. The fish and chips were quite disgusting with very stodgy batter which tasted uncooked. The rest of the food was very average 'pub food' but the portion sizes were quite good. Service was good enough

We have been a regulars at Chelsea branch for long time, as we were in the area we decided to try this branch out as the fork app suggested. We are so disappointed, we started a conversation with the new manager in charge asking for wine and cocktail suggestion but she showed very unprofessional and she basically charged for the most expensive wine/cocktail without telling any price or anything(she actually had to look at the bar book for ingredients) Good octopus from Galicia but terrible suggestions of Indians lentils as a side which didn’t match at all. We have been ask for the payment a couple of times with restaurant completely empty where we had to interrupt their chat to be served (?) When we started to put our coats they finally realised that we where leaving. Where do you really need to push in a restaurant to be charged? Service charge applied.

Lovely bar hidden away, went on a quiet day, beautiful decor within the bar. Only downside is the staff lack any personality, blonde girl behind the bar may have been a manager as she didn’t have a uniform on was licking her fingers and didn’t wash them when sorting out all the garnish. Was very odd to see

Very nice decorated restaurant, great location (very quiet despite of being in Oxford Street) Amazing stuff, very welcoming, polite and professional. We been served by a Portuguese lady, she was very nice and told us about the wine bottles decorations aswell. The price was good too as we had a discount for the food and we couldn't drink alcohol. I will definitely come back here.

Totally indifferent service. Nobody at the entrance, waited around a little and after a bit decided to venture into the almost empty dining area, only to be shooed back to the entrance verbally and with arms waving like a stray dog by a server and admonished to wait. When finally seated, no one came to take my order. When I flagged someone down, I was told curtly “I’m.l not your server”. Wow. Wagamama means “selfish” in Japanese but maybe they should add “rude”to this place also.

He sido un cliente leal de Ippudo por más de 12 años, visitando 2 - 5 veces al mes desde 2014. Siempre he apreciado los altos estándares de servicio: saludos amistosos, personal atento y pedidos eficientes. Sin embargo, mi reciente visita el 25. 10 . 2024 fue decepcionante, y me siento obligado a compartir mi experiencia con la esperanza de que se aborde. Pedí dos chahu dons para llevar, un pedido normal para mí. A pesar de que la tienda estaba medio llena y no estaba particularmente ocupada, mi pedido tardó de 25 a 40 minutos. Me di cuenta de que mi recibo de pedido fue empujado detrás de otra cena - en los pedidos, a pesar de que yo era el único cliente para llevar en ese momento. Cuando mi pedido finalmente estuvo listo, permaneció desatendido durante unos 5-10 minutos hasta que tuve que solicitar a un miembro del personal que lo empacara por mí, a pesar de que el gerente fue el que tomó mi pedido y supervisó su preparación durante todo el tiempo, hasta que sonó la campana lista. Como cliente habitual, esta experiencia se sintió particularmente desalentadora. Es preocupante ver un declive en los estándares de servicio, especialmente cuando siempre he valorado la calidad de Ippudo y la atención al cliente. Espero que mis comentarios puedan ser utilizados para mejorar la experiencia de servicio, tanto para los clientes de comida para llevar como para los clientes de mucho tiempo como yo. Gracias por tomarse el tiempo para leer mi mensaje, y espero ver cambios positivos.
