AbdullahMay 9, 2018I liked their sushi platters and the teriyaki beef. The ingredients used are of high quality and the food presentation is very good. The portions are relatively small compared to the expensive prices.

Very busy and trendy. Book ahead. Great for special occasions. Very good fusion foods...slightly pretentious. Great cocktails. Fab lamb chops, asparagus, deserts.Upvote4Downvote
Russ McCullochMay 12, 2012LUSH: lovely place for a few cocktails or a nice cold bottle of beer. Built by the same company that runs the Oast house. Good standards. Its on the pricey scale but well worth a visit! : Marks 9/10Upvote3DownvoteUpvoted Jan 25

Highly recommend.UpvoteDownvote- Good range of Japanese cuisines in fusion style - sushi, tempura, grill, mains & cool deserts / cocktails. Go there to impress ...UpvoteDownvote
Megan AJuly 6, 2015Great sashimi. Hand grated wasabi. Amazing service. And I guess the fact that they spent more on their pretty sanitary disposal units, I should mention it?UpvoteDownvote

Daniel AshcroftDecember 31, 2011Play the "Steal the table" game. Hover close to a table where people have nearly finished (with your yummy cocktail) and pounce on it when they leave before someone else doesUpvote3Downvote- Tony TickleFebruary 8, 2013What's not to like? Great atmosphere, lovely staff and top nosh. Highlight was the Mango SouffléUpvoteDownvote

Daren WilliamsApril 24, 2016Decent tempura, interesting menu but ingredients seemed under flavoured. Solution: order dishes that are in season - eg. lambUpvoteDownvote

Paul UnsworthFebruary 23, 2016Was "ok". Bit pricey and pretentious. Didn't like how the cocktail menu didn't explain what was in the cocktails and I would have expected table service for the priceUpvoteDownvote
Such a relaxing place to unwind, whatever you're doing

Sazzle MOctober 9, 2014This place is a bit of a novelty to visit, massively over-rated though. Food was fairly average and not worth the extortionate priceUpvoteDownvote
Paul WidgerSeptember 1, 2011The "Sexiest Singapore Sling" is pretty good. Not superlative, but fairly sexy.UpvoteDownvote
Elizabeth ClarkOctober 23, 2011The entrance is not where it said it was, look out for a glass triangle coming out the ground facing DeansgateUpvoteDownvote
Lars BahnsonOctober 2, 2015Slow bar, slow service (our table was 30 minuttes delayed), rarely any smiles from the staff, food was okay, but couldn't make up for a generally poor experience:(UpvoteDownvote
