Chelsea ClarkMay 2, 2013Spring onion skewer is probably not on your radar, but EAT IT! Grilled asparagus feel, savoury onion taste. My fav. Get a shochu cocktail too, especially if you like drinks that aren't so intense.UpvoteDownvote
ChikaeMarch 19, 2013Literally one of my favourite restaurants. Great atmosphere and amazing yakitori. Try the ninniku chaahan (garlic rice) you'll never look back!UpvoteDownvote
Katrina SchmidtDecember 1, 2012Every time I come, I get The Seven Samurai - seven of their most popular skewers and they're all delicious! Good deal at £10 too (would be £13.20).UpvoteDownvote
Aline NoizetMay 18, 2014Ver y recomendable place. Great Price/quality. Service quick and efficient. 7 samurái are great as an iniciación to japanese food.UpvoteDownvote
Cagdas HatinogluMay 15, 2013Very nice tapas style Japanese Yakitori.They had some problems with their kitchen so we couldn't try anything except the grills. Portions are small and bill adds up quickly.UpvoteDownvote- Cagdas HatinogluMay 15, 2013Atmosphere is very nice and staff very friendly. Try the Asahi beer and sake. Definitely worth a visit again!Upvote1Downvote
Amy RobinsonFebruary 28, 2013Food and service upstairs was perfect -- Unagi was delicious. But downstairs the barman was patronising and pretentious. Disappointing as I was looking forward to some Japanese Whiskey, but we left.UpvoteDownvote
Peter LillevoldDecember 1, 2013Excellent whisky bar in the basement, they specialize in Japanese brands. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.UpvoteDownvote

Michał GałuszekJune 4, 2014Chicken skin skewers are to die for, so is miss aubergine. Definitely worthy paying a visit.UpvoteDownvote
Laura RDecember 9, 2013The quail egg wrapped in panacetta is pure foodgasm! Soo good! Drinks wise Oolong Hai (too watery) and Chu Hai (too sweet) tho disappointingly miss the mark.UpvoteDownvote
Sass MoniosMay 7, 2014There's something about the Oyako Don which is just addictive and the Sori Yakitori (Chicken Oysters) are just so succulent.UpvoteDownvote
DRAZJanuary 25, 2014Pretty nice yakitori try the duck with wasabi and ponzu and the sake is pretty good value :)UpvoteDownvote
Business TravellerAugust 24, 2010Strictly speaking, yakitori refers to the poultry part of the menu, which includes wonderfully flavoursome sori (chicken oysters) and tangy aigamo (duck with spring onion and wasabi). Read moreUpvote1Downvote

James ShadeJuly 2, 2013Not sure their pricing system is strictly legal.... It costs £3, but you must order two of everything. Anyway, looking forward to my two half bottles of rosé.UpvoteDownvote

Sof CNovember 14, 2012Tasty Yakitori if they cook it right: we had raw chicken in ours and food poisoning on two occasions. Terrible service and rude arrogant manager; shame as Jap staff are sweet. Quite overpriced overallUpvoteDownvote
Shell sterOctober 25, 2013Don't expect good service at the bar. Drinks are inconsistent and management is passive aggressive.UpvoteDownvote
