    Everything was awesome. Try the sea bass, tuna sashimi pizza (pic), tuna maki, pumpkin tempura, sweet potato fries and all desserts. Service was good as well. Not sure what those other tips are about.

    All-you-can-eat sushi, All-you-can-drink wine and beer.... What's not to love about brunch at Kurobuta?!? Oh, and the 'build your own ramen' and live music are a fun twist on this unique combination!

    The vegetarian food here is limited but what is on offer is really good. Ask for help as some items are off menu. Loved the pistachio dessert & aubergine tapas the best. Cool venue & friendly staff

    Went last night and the kurobuta chicken hit the spot. Never had fried chicken with a spark to each bit. Was slightly disappointed that the pistachio and peanut donut option isn't available anymore 😧

    Amazing food, we really enjoyed the aubergine and the tuna sashimi pizza, small portions and quite expensive! Very good service, but a bit noisy and table set up a bit too close together!

    Amazing Japanese with a twist. Very trendy place & the food was out of this world.

    Amazing food. We loved everything we ordered & recommend tuna sashimi pizza, soft shell crab maki, tempura shrimp, bbq pork buns & yellowtail sashimi. Smaller choice of sake than expected

    Food is fantastic. Had some staffing issues (which new restaurants don't!) but these seem to be a-ok now. Great vibe, good fun. If you like sake (and frankly, you SHOULD) this place is the business.

    Everything we ordered was just perfect and full of flavor, I'd definitely come back again. I recommend the sweet potato fries, beef robata, shrimp tempura and ofcourse the sea bass.

    The sea bass was nice and fresh, and confit duck excellent, huge portion of ribs - everything else very heavily salted and/or sweet, hard to carry on after the 3rd dish. Very loud, hard to speak

    By far one of the best restaurant I've ever been to. Cocktails are indredible. We shared different dishes and everything was astounding with such amazing tastes. Greatly recommended.

    Good food, nicely presented. Though not enough Asian staff to give it that authentic feel. It's like a restaurant trying to cater more to the Chelsea folk.

    Amazing flavours and great service. The tasting platter for London Restaurant Festival was a standout!

    The frozen head beer was a new one to me, which I enjoyed. Wagyu beef sliders were great, although much smaller than what I was expecting. Service was good but there's room for improvement.

    Great and diverse menu of Japanese food. All the raw section was amazing. Definitely try the artichokes with truffle dip

    Bottomless brunch: £35pp for unlimited access to the buffet (sushi, steak, ramen) and unlimited beer/wine/brunch punch.

    Casual dinning by the ex-head chefs of Nobu and creators of Bone Daddies & Flesh & Buns. Food isn't bad but overpriced for what it is, if you want to try something new then give this place a go.

    The sliders were fantastic. Order lots of the starters as they were delicious too. Can't wait to go again!

    Best comfort food I've ever had. The pistachio ice cream donut needs to be a permanent fixture on the menu.

    Food is good. But really really expensive for what it is. Portions are very small. Had sashimi pizza (great but small), wagyu bites (great but tiny) and aubergine (ok)

    Foursquare asks 'what's good here?' this is a question I'm having real difficulty with... below average food, above average prices and service like Pizza Hut (casual is an understatement).

    The ribs are to die for. This branch is very noisy though - they need to turn down the music.

    Less than 1 hour after we were seated, the waitress made it very clear that she wanted us out. She took our plates & cutlery away despite us still eating our food. This was not a good experience.

    Horrendously average food and casual service that totally disappoints. The concept of piling dirty plates next to seated guests escapes me. As is the sharing bowl of soy with your sushi. Go to Roka.

    More expensive than you'd think, and service doesn't match the price tag. Great food though.
