   We ate here on New Year’s Eve without a booking, and they still managed to squeeze us in — which was much appreciated. Definitely an under-appreciated little spot. Although we were tucked into a corner, the food and service were almost perfect. I may have gone a bit overboard with the number of small plates, but dish after dish impressed us both. The prawn tempura were lovely and crunchy, with beautifully tender prawns inside. The pork bao was incredible, with subtle hints of wasabi. For me though, the pork ribs were the star of the dinner — sweet, sticky, and falling straight off the bone. An absolute must-order. Special mention also to the sweetcorn ribs, which were excellent. Will definitely be returning!

   We enjoyed our meal at Uchi, having booked on the recommendation of a family member who knows how much we enjoy Japanese food. The restaurant is lovely, we sat upstairs near window and it was a great spot to enjoy the atmosphere. The staff were also fantastic, really friendly and attentive. There was a mishap involving a spilled drink on the table adjacent to us and the waitress handled it really well (so did the customer which was nice to see!). Food was good overall. Standouts were the sashimi plate and takoyaki. The only criticism and reason for the 4 stars rather than 5 is that some of the hot dishes arrived lukewarm and we had to rush to eat them (they were very tasty!). I expect the dishes were sitting for a while in the dumb waiter from the kitchen to the 1st floor. Overall very good, we will return.

   Food was nice and there was plenty of vegan and vegetarian option, the dishes did come out as and when are ready. The staff are lovely. The restaurant is kind of cold. Lots of cocktail choice. Is on the pricier side especially if you’re ordering a few dishes to share.

   This restaurant has got a lovely decor and atmosphere and the staff was really lovely! However…. The food was a huge disappointment. I ordered the Japanese potato salad which basically came as raw pieces of carrots and potatoes drowned in cheap mayonnaise. The makis were really average and the rice tasted like old rice (quite hard and dry). I rarely leave bad reviews but I honestly would not recommend and would definitely not be going back.
