The amount you get is so much less than if you got a proper ramen bowl yet they want to charge you £13! It’s a rip off. AVOID.

The quality has seriously declined, with missing items from our order, bland noodles, and tough asparagus. The guyoza, a traditional Japanese dish, was awful. There were no Japanese natives working there, and there was a lot of unnecessary waste. The prices have gone up significantly, and the once busy weekend tables are now empty by 7pm. It's not surprising. Overall, it's not worth the visit or the money. I don't think we will be returning anytime soon. It's a shame.

The place is in serious need of a manager, never ever going back...
