Had Sushi for the first time and loved their platter the staff is very good neat clean place and awesome food.

I had their chicken karaage rice set, and it tasted just like home 😊🎌 Perfect place for a quick Japanese lunch/dinner!

I really wanted to like this place but the fish was terrible. The tuna was off! Seriously, a manky taste and slightly eggy smell. The one thing a sushi restaurant needs to get right… won’t go again.

Tasty but tiny portions, the amount of rice is ridiculously small. Quite overpriced.

No gluten-free sushi options - very disappointing

Great team, always very friendly and helpful, food is always delicious.

We booked the Ivy Asia - St Paul’s for my son’s birthday. Lovely venue with fabulous views of St Paul’s, stunning interior. Unfortunately, the music was so loud it spoiled our experience, it was like a night club. We visited at 12:45pm so I didn’t think the music would have been quite so loud but there was a DJ there playing music, so table conversation was almost impossible The food was lovely - we had the small plates, interesting dishes of prawns, chicken, barbecued duck etc and service was good - unfortunately the waiter spilled the chilli oil on my husband’s trousers but the manager was good enough to give us a round of drinks off the bill - but only after we asked for it. I had read the reviews about the loud music and genuinely thought it wouldn’t affect us at 1pm on a Saturday afternoon, but I was wrong. Be warned that the music is really, really loud and ruins any ambience/conversation. I’m afraid we won’t be visiting the Ivy Asia again and I think we would have had a better value meal in a different restaurant

The sunken table area is quite cool downstairs but we sat at a normal table. The atmosphere was super off with it being dead quiet with no music. Just an awkward atmosphere. The salmon sashimi was really good, super fresh! I had a rice bowl with steak as my main and it was just okay- it was pretty bland and could’ve done with a sauce, there was just so so much pickled ginger as well, it would’ve been nice to have some other veg. The waitress was amazing, super lovely and she was concerned when we left loads of food at the end but we were just so full!

Itsu restaurant Strand 32-33 Strand, London WC2N 5HY We stumbled across this restaurant by chance whilst looking for a place to have lunch near Trafalgar Square & Charing Cross Station. The food appears to be freshly prepared, more than adequate in quantity, very satisfying in quality and value for money. A variety of sauces are available to suit all tastes. I would have preferred a little more wasabi provided with the lunches but that’s a personal choice. The seating arrangements are not the most comfortable nor convenient with narrow stools and facing other customers literally a meter opposite. Furthermore, this establishment does not accept cash hence bring your card with you.(A mute point: call me old fashioned). Finally there are no toilet facilities available (apologies if there are and I missed it). With all the “negatives” considered, if you got your bank card, you want a quick lunch and you don’t need the toilet it’s worth visiting this establishment for the food.

Absolutely terrible costumer service, food was basically thrown at us and staff were very rude. Not coming back!

Best California roll I’ve ever tasted!! Food came super quick, and the waitress was very nice. Right outside of Farringdon station so very convenient!

Why can’t you update your opening hours on Google ? Boring …

Banihanaaaaaaaaaa,,,, I really enjoy the wonderful food with style... The chef was really good. Really love to go back this place as soon as possible...

The host of this location is an arrogant, rude little man. He is incredibly unprofessional. Worst customers service ever experienced. I practically had to beg to see the location, and even after my plea, I was met with hostility at the door. The place needs a re-paint but not even paint can wash away the bad mind spirit. I urge you not to book with this man. Toby Carvery would be a better venue.

On a rainy London morning, the English Breakfast Ramen absolutely hit the spot. The curry Ramen was even better! I would definitely go back the next time in London.
