The food was delicious, staff very kind and helpful. The music was bit loud and not necessarily in tune with the place. I understand the concept behind the seating although after an hour it becomes a bit uncomfortable.

overall great food great service great ambience and i love the concept of someone’s home. the communication with some of the waiting staff was not the most smooth due to English proficiency. but i guess that adds to the authenticity…

I was a bit hesitant when i checked previous reviews but me and my friend had a lovely time there. Our food came quick we didn't have to wait long. The staff was really polite with the explanations as i needed halal options and she did an elaborate description of which food had alcohol in the sauce etc. Overall it was a lovely atmosphere there if you want to relax and let this place take you to japan.

I can't fault the food or wonderful service. Because of the nature of the offering, smallish, delicious plates, it does get quite pricy to feed a group. I wonder why in such an authentic setting they pipe jazz music. The rest rooms need attention. But we had a super time and are just so lucky to have this standard of restaurant in the borough. We had a great time. Thank you Uchi.

Overall it was a lovely experience. The food was incredible, and the ambience of the restaurant was something you rarely experience in London. The service was friendly and welcoming but there were points where we felt forgotten.

Great food, service a bit random and confusing due to having to write selections on menu?
Tables and seating pretty awkward and uncomfortable. Not somewhere to linger

Great but was hoping for the soup and menu could have gone with explaining. But food was great
