Absolutely beautiful, fantastic food and bubble tea. Lovely friendly staff, this is definitely my go to place in Melton when I want a beautiful drink with or without food .

Terrific, elegant, authentic sushi in Newark, Nottinghamshire? Absolutely, and at very reasonable prices with exceptional, friendly, family service. This was Ga Sushi last Saturday night (the only evening it opens at the moment, otherwise daytime only). The spicy Tan Tan Tuna starter (a seaweed cone of rice topped with spicy shredded tuna, delicious) and the delicately constructed and arranged seafood sushi main course. I had the Hana Nigiri 14-piece set menu sushi with tuna, prawn, seaweed salad etc. Tasted as good as it looks. Superb. Companions opted for the mixed veggie ramen bowl and some had ice cream for dessert. The Hong Kong family running Ga Sushi plan to expand the menu and apply for an alcohol licence. Meanwhile drinks options include alcohol-free beer at just £3.50 and bubble tea. I had both and my first-ever bubble tea was interesting and novel but far sweeter than anything I’d normally drink. Total bill with tip, £25 per head - a bargain. Diners please note – this is highly sophisticated, beautiful food at bargain prices. The surroundings are clean, bright and basic – but you are there for the food, right, not expensive upholstery? The warm welcome comes free. And incidentally, one couple there on Saturday had come from Nottingham – because nowhere in the city has sushi as good as this... Saturday is currently the only evening opening, otherwise daytime only for now.

This hidden gem of a sushi place is an absolute delight for any sushi enthusiast. The staff greeted us with warm smiles and a genuine passion for the cuisine they serve. Every bite is a revelation, a perfect fusion of tradition and innovation. The chef's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every piece, from the delicate arrangement to the carefully chosen garnishes. The menu offers an impressive variety, catering to both sushi connoisseurs and newcomers. Whether you're a fan of classic nigiri, sashimi, or daring specialty rolls, there's something for everyone.

Hermoso restaurante pequeño para llevar. Tienen opciones de cajas dobladas con katsu (pollo y cerdo) teriyaki (pollo y salmón) , tempura vegetal . Teníamos katsu pollo bento caja y cerdo ramen Tonkatsu. Rollos de primavera de pato casero era súper.

We had booked the Berlin Blue Door Supper Club for my friend's hen and it was such a lovely experience!! Mark and Johanna were fabulous and the food was absolutely delicious 😍😍 They catered for various dietary requirements as well. We wish you guys could move to London so we could book this more often! I would 10000% reccomend this to anyone!

As sushi lovers me and my daughter have always been looking for good sushi in our local area. How did I not know this place even existed in Worksop, and that it was right on our doorstep?! OML we now order this most weeks and we love our sushi nights again. We always order 4 mini maki sets of 8 and a tub of seaweed salad. Everything looks and tastes amazing and is so fresh! It travels well for home delivery and the customer service is good. The complimentary chopsticks and extras make this so authentic! ...although when asked, the lady on the phone was happy to ommit the Soy sauce (too strong for our tastes), the wasabi and the Pickled ginger (we just don't like them). Instead, we received extra sweet chilli mayonnaise instead. We love Always Sushi and would recommend giving the food a try as soon as you can! :)

My son absolutely loved the 30 Piece Maki Sushi Set from SunSushi Northampton. Unfortunately, I didn't get to sample any - as he wolfed them all down whilst gaming 🚉 (How is that even possible ???) 🤯 I was pleasantly surprised when I visited the premises this on this occasion - as the whole shopfront has been 'opened up' with the removal of dark window stickers . . so there is a new 'spacious, clean and fresh feel to the establishment.' A special 'Thank You' to Katia . . who is really pleasant and a great business manager.

Visited for the first time and loved it. The curry don (I got the grilled chicken) was a generous portion. Absolutely amazing food, and the owner is so friendly!

Sushi was really good, everything else was ‘ok’ but nothing special. Problem was it was way too cramped. They need to remove a few tables to give more of an open feel.

Wonderful authentic food, very friendly and helpful staff, just a great meal, loved it. Thank you, arigato.

Terrific sushi for what we had and made fresh there and then, which was nice to watch.

I visited Akasaka with my colleagues, first time for them and they all enjoyed the food. It was really quiet though, I hope business picks up for them as I really like going when I am in Northampton. Worked out around £30 pp for starters and main courses each. I think it’s pretty good value as the portions are pretty big too.

A minimalist Japanese restaurant tucked away in a hidden alleyway in Nottingham, Kushi-ya offers creative small plates and skewers. The cheesecake was exceptional - an explosion of flavours with a perfectly firm and crisp crust. However, the tuna was underwhelming, lacking flavour and suggesting that the quality of the fish may not match the premium pricing. While the overall experience was enjoyable, I agree with some reviews that suggest the restaurant is somewhat overhyped, especially considering the abundance of similar establishments offering comparable quality at more competitive prices.
