   Returning customer. Went for the Xmas tasting menu. Staff very pleasant but kitchen under pressure as responsible for Smiths Grill as well. Food was not great. Miso cod not true to black cod recipe or taste. Turkey done well but trimmings felt done on a budget. Sprouts supplied without wild rice. We asked for roast potatoes as a substitute .. arrived when mean finished and charged an extra £8. An experience best forgotten.

   Service trop rapide le jour de Noël, assiettes débarrassées alors que les convives n’ont pas tous terminé leurs plats. Entrées très bonnes mais les plats principaux étaient secs et fades.

   First time we tried Japanese food. We went without expectations and now I know that I will not stop discovering this wonder. They recommended us without having a clue and they hit the nail on the head, yes, they recommended the most tasty dishes haha but it was honestly the best. The best are the nigiris with a special recommendation from the waiter, a success without a doubt. In short I will repeat for sure. PS: there was no time for the photo :p

   Two years since our last visit here in Paddington basin, and we still had the best time! The food and service at this restaurant are fantastic. We asked for a wine recommendation and Maurizio treated to a delicious french white that was absolutely perfect. The staff also offered great advice on our food choices, helping us not to over-order, which made the experience even better. The soft-shell crab was so tasty, and the beef tiradito was definitely my favorite. We will be back for sure!

   Really fabulous service and varied menu, beautiful decor and great location in Paddington, had lovely sushi and perfect bao buns, would highly reccomend the dragon roll which was a true winner. You should try this place.

   Leaving a performance at the Theater in Paddington, with many venues with the kitchen closed or the sign full, we booked in and thanks to the Ayllu team in which Morella acted in an efficient, friendly and facilitating version, he surprised us with a wonderful dinner . Very nice place, food that you have to try. Great and thank you very much.

   Service was outstanding. The food was filling and portion sizes more than enough. A good evening for us.

    I had anticipated this to be a lovely experience but I found the staff extremely rude. I also felt I was pushed to make my food and drink choices quickly and overal didn’t enjoy that was constantly asked questions on my next order and also unfinished food taken away. I will not go there again. Food was lovely albeit on the expensive side.
