   Their miso soup is a bit sweet, same goes with the Katsu Don. I would like to try their Katsu curry next time. The ground level is more like a takeaway place and also for conveyor belt sushi

   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!

   It was fun watching sushi going around on the belt conveyor. The restaurant has table service downstairs and a take away section at the entrance as well as the belt conveyor counter. Sushi and other dishes are on the different colour plates indicating it's prices. Orange £3.50 Red £3.90 Green £4.50 Blue £4.90 Pink £5.50 Yellow £5.90 Most cooked dishes from the kitchen were on the yellow plates and I thought they were good value as long as you pick them up while it's still hot. Most dishes including sushi are on the belt without top covers for the first few rounds, and I found them unhygienic. Sushi chefs in the corner were friendly, though they are very busy making all sushi for takeaway, downstairs tables as well as the belt conveyor counter. You'll get your bill from a staff, and pay at the till by the entrance. Be aware that the service charge is astonishingly high even for the city standards. It is 20%! For pick up by yourself sushi and pay at the till, I think it is outrageous. I don't think bringing a drink and counting the plates and writing it down isn't worth 20%. Or am I mean to think that way. Prawn tempura was good, machareal sushi was good, others I had weren't. One experience was enough for me.

   Re: Friday 4th August evening Food was good and I feel the pricing was fair for a central London restaurant. Seating was downstairs. A little too cozy. It's nice they give you the option to sit at the tables or on the sunken floor area that requires slippers. The waitress was fantastic and did a great job working by herself, tending to all tables and checking in on us. They are lucky to have her! Bad look to see who I got the impression of the owner sitting at a table drinking and looking unfriendly or helpful. Unfortunately, the condition of the one toilet available was atrocious. For this reason we will not come back. I forgot to take an image of the sink- it would be impossible to wash hands if someone were to use the urinal which is in front of it. I do not think I would feel comfortable bringing children into that toilet without waiting for them. There is no excuse to have it in the condition it is and this could be renovated over a weekend. They are closed on the weekends so that baffles me even more. The majority of the floor tiles are loose. Additionally, the amount of fruit flies in the toilet and restaurant needs to be addressed. I'm sure this goes against many H&S standards. Disappointed to say the least.

   Upstairs has a takeaway counter and seating with a conveyor belt for a quick lunch. But downstairs is a gem - lovely seating and excellent food. There is quite a lot of seats available considering it’s central London and I’ve never had to wait long for a table. It can get a little loud but still lovely.

   Amazing takeaway lunches! I’ve been enjoying different options they provided, Teriyaki chicken is the best I reckon. By the way, this week has been disappointing as rice quality was so bad…was too sticky and couldn’t finish more than half 2 days in row.

   Food was good but sadly all but the traditional eating area is a bit grubby, toilets particularly. Staff were friendly and attentive. Overall was let down by the chefs sushi special, which had several substitutions to different fish than the menu without warning. The food was good but several pieces weren’t what we would have chosen. There was also no hot Sake, and then not able to offer my choice of beer out of four on offer. Therefore only three stars.

   Great dining experience on tatami mats. Loved the spicy tuna maki roll. Unagi ju was tad bit sweet, only other feedback is that waiting service could be improved.
