Amazing service. Affordable and big serving. I ordered their bento and was really full afterwards. Love their salad and pickled side dish! Free miso soup at lunch time as well!

Visited Hotaru and whilst eating unfortunately I could someone’s hair in my meal. I alerted my server who then took my food away. She came back and asked if I wanted it to be replaced of which I could fathom the idea of eating again from here. Moments later she offered two scoops of ice cream on the house. I asked for the bill and when it arrived I noticed that it was full price for my items, when queried the server brought out the manger. The manager advised that because more than half the meal was eaten then she will not discount or remove from my bill but to my surprise she was willing to removed the servers 12.5% charge. I denied as it wasn’t the severs fault and paid and left. Overall: Cleanliness : 7/10 there was a random dirty spoon in the radiator next to my table, plus the hair in my food Food : Mid 6/10 Servers : 10/10 friendly and helpful Manager: -10 because the time in which you spoke to me was horrible and then blamed it on a ‘language barrier’ I will never again eat from here

I must say I am unsure why it's ranked 5 stars on Google. This experience has made me doubt the usefulness of Google reviews in general. While the service was fast and friendly, the food was average at best. We ordered starters, 4 different mains, and a sushi set but none of it was good enough to make us want to come back. The restaurant's venue had an old-school feel and didn't appear to be refurbished for a while. Overall, if you're looking for good Japanese food, this may not be the place for you.
