    We went for a team work lunch, set lunch menu is good value, live cooking was fun but we had to wait for a little while before chef was ready. Would come again

    Service was attentive if not a bit on the side of rushed even when the tables weren’t full. Food was a major disappointment, nothing to the degree of sending it back, merely under flavoured and flat. The prawn tempura batter was thick and overpowered the delicate prawns. Any decent tempura restaurant in Japan would be offended at serving that. The gyoza were no more interesting than some bought from Waitrose. The “side salad” was worse than a service station offering covered in a blob of tasteless dressing. The hibachi prawns were tasteless with no suggestion of the lemon and butter offered by the menu. The beef was the only stand out item of the lunch, tender and cooked to request, the sauce provided for the beef lacked zing or any suggestion of spice or the promised ginger. The egg fried rice (supplement) was tasteless. The wine list was very appropriate for the quality of the food, the Gavi being light and crisp to complement the food. I suspect the custom comes from the spectacle of preparation definitely not the quality of the offering. I am sure they could do better. I won’t be returning.
