The steak was pretty good, the fillings in tacos are well made and balanced too. For the chicken katsu, I feel like there’s too less curry. Warm and welcoming atmosphere is present and well maintained by the staffs

Really enjoyed lunch with ex colleagues, although there was a gas leak in the local vicinity and the whole area was closed off so had to rush out at the end of the meal but all good, food was really nice I had two small plates which was more than enough for lunch, colleagues had crispy beef salad and katsu curry, plates were cleared. Staff were lovely and did their best to get the bill to us as they too had to evacuate the premises. Will definitely return.

Menu has changed a few days earlier and it wasn’t updated online so very little for vegetarians - only cauliflower for starter and cauliflower for main course. Huge delay between courses as people had arrived for dinner that weren’t accounted for.

Our reservation was at 12:45 some of our party didn’t eat until 2:30 after one of the waitresses got the order wrong. However the staff recognised the issue, apologised and gave us a discount without asking. They tried to resolve the issue which was helpful. They were also super polite about the whole thing.

The door host wasn’t very friendly when we arrived, we had a table booked for 6 people and she tried to sit us at a 5 seated table, they did find us a big enough table though. We were brought 2 bottles of Prosecco almost immediately but had to wait 30 minutes to order food and drinks which isn’t great when the bottomless brunch is 90 minutes. When the food came we were a meal short so one guest had to wait for their meal. Due to all of this we opted not to pay the £24 service charge that was added. We would not come back.
