    Really really good veggie options! You can also get a lot of the dishes in different sizes, which meant we got to try a couple things. I would book ahead next time to get a table rather than barstools but still thoroughly enjoyed the meal

    Good food at good prices, cool vibe but annoyed that Ramune (200ml) was £6, which was more than the chicken wings and nearly the same price as half Ramen (£6.50), annoyance compounded because soft drink prices weren't anywhere I could see on the Main Menu or the Drinks Menu which appeared to be alcoholic drinks only. That said the sesame chicken wings were good, both the ramens we tried had good depth of flavour and the black sesame ice cream was delicious. Unfortunately the Apple Gyoza was hotter than the Sun and I left with a burnt tongue. Overall nearly fabulous but not quite
