From the moment we arrived to when we left we were made to feel very special, staff amazing and food equally amazing, a little bit pricey but in London you expect that. The only negative is they bring food out when it's ready so not everything necessarily comes together, which is fine but I can't understand why my pork belly came a good 6 to 7 minutes before something as simple as the noodles I ordered. Overall an amazing experience in a lovely restaurant, I would highly recommend a visit.
