Reviews of Bonzai Sushi Bar
A. T.
A great choice for some quality sushi in Leicester. Sushi prepared fresh in their open kitchen and worth the wait! Staff happy to make adjustments to sushi fillings as required. A relaxed atmosphere inside made it a enjoyable spot for Saturday evening dinner with a few drinks.
A. S.
This restaurant is lovely, food is amazingly good, but recently they change management and the prices change as we’ll. That means on online website you have different prices than in restaurants. I had to pay £7 differences in restaurants besides with this small quantity of wasabi for 3 people set I ask for extra and they charge me £1. I recommend to check the price before your order.

Best Japanese food in Leicester!
I love coming to this place, the food is superb, big congrats to the chef.
I'd eat every day here if I could!
The sashimi is generously cut, the rock shrimp tempura and spicy squid is superb.
My fave of all time is the prawn and veg udon noodle soup. Cannot beat this!
Thanks and see you again!

Food service was a bit slow but food was really delicious. Got Kaisen & Kimchi Tonkotsu, Korean spicy beef rice bowl. Starters had sushi not picture here and takoyaki.
c. s.
Enjoyed out sushi here. It was spot on, just like the Bonzai in Nottingham. The only thing i will say is that the service struggles
a bit when they’re busy and take cash if you want to give a tip.
N. M.
I came here with some friends, I’m new to Leicester and I was happy to find a new place to eat; I love sushi! First we got seated down and welcome very warmly, then given some time to think about the order and given some drinks. Our waiter YY was really sweet and attentive, as well as giving us a memorable dine out. The food didn’t take much time considering we ordered a big sushi boat for the four of us. I’ve never had good sushi here in England and was impressed! I paired the sushi with an Asahi beer, nice and tasty together. Finally, we decided to pass on dessert and YY gave us some Hello Panda treats, he was a sweetheart. Very kind and happy, I will definitely come again just for the customer service. We were all more than happy to leave a tip! Would definitely recommend if you are in Leicester
S. B.
First time here, spent less than at other sushi places and the portions were very generous. Food was very fresh, very tasty. They took extra care to cater for my child, making sure nothing is too spicy. The sushi was absolutely gorgeous, one of the best I had so far. Staff was very friendly and attentive, food arrived very quickly considering it was a busy Friday evening.
K. M.
Great food, the staff were also lovely. Definitely one of the best sushi restaurants I've been to.
o.
This sushi bar is a beautiful place to eat, the service was by far the best I've ever experienced, all staff were genuinely kind, friendly and down to earth and went above and beyond in their service for you. The food tasted and looked amazing, especially the bento boxes that allowed you to try a few different things at once, and made for a delicious filling meal. I would absolutely go here again and would recommend to others to try this restaurant :)
A. M.
Went for my Birthday yesterday and absolutely loved it. Originally from Canada and its hard to find good quality sushi restaurants in the UK. I had the pad thai, prawn tempura and various sushi dishes. The food is 10/10. The service from the staff and waiters/waitress was really good and friendly. Hats off to the chef and whole staff at Bonzai Sushi Bar Leicester. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
J. O.
This is my first time in the restaurant. I did check the reviews before I decide. At first, I felt unsure but went there anyway. Please make sure you make a booking before turning up. Food is awesome. Highly recommended. Waitress are always doing their best to keep all customer happy. So be kind even if you need to wait.
J. S. (.
Always a great experience when we visit. We've taken large groups last minute no problem and staff are always happy to accommodate and provide an excellent service. Food is brilliant we've visited nearly a dozen times tried many different dishes and never had a bad meal.
D. L.
The environment is lovely.
The food is excellent. I had udon noodles and a sushi platter, as recommended by Mr. Y.Y. absolutely fantastic.
Great customer service, great food. I can't think of what else to write!
~ A very satisfied and satiated customer.
L. W.
Yummy, good quality food and top service! YY and Angel looked after us very well! Even organised a happy birthday song and treat for my husband. Highly recommend this place.
D. R.
The staff is very very kind, almost to the point of being OTT, the food was good and like the service, the decor was a bit OTT. Dont be swayed by the lack of consistency with the themeing of their interior though, the sushi will more than make up for it. =)
M. W.
Best sushi place in Leicester. Quite cheap if you consider size of a portions. Might get busy sometimes and wait times are quite high but usually you'll find free table
H. P.
Had a wonderful experience, super warm and friendly hospitality, the sumo sushi+sashimi boat was amazing. Must try the YY speciality cocktails, he will tailor-make your cocktails for you, thank you for making this experience a perfect one for us :) We had big smiles on our faces from the moment we entered. See you again soon!
B. B.
Really really recommend this restaurant. Great service and great good, I would highly recommend the Singapore iced tea and salt and chilli prawn. It was easily one of the best dishes I've ever had. Will definitely be returning!!
T. T.
I must say the food is great, crispy tempura, good portion sizes, tastes good too. I've had better sashimi elsewhere but this was still a good place to eat. We had the godzilla sushi role which was delicious, however the rice seemed a bit too compact perhaps? Like it had been pressed and smashed together really hard just so it would stick. However the price for this roll was reasonable, at around 12 quid for 8 pieces. Elsewhere non city prices can sometimes range from 14-20 quid for the same amount. Only real issue was the service. Speed was very slow, albeit a busy night but I mean let's just say the floor staff could've been a bit more focused as to what needs doing- leaving customers waiting about an hr to be seated when there are clearly tables and they seem somewhat negligent to the fact empty tables can be wiped in less than 5 minutes...
H. M.
Improved on second visit. Had vege bonzai forest roll and pumpkin croque.
F. R.
amazing sushi and brought the bottle of chardonnay. also great customer service from YY! will be visiting again soon. (nicest soya sauce + the wasabi i’ve had yet). cheap price considering the ambience, food and service.
Z. L.
my friends and I went to this place today and it was absolutely brilliant!!! I can not recommend bonzai enough! All the staff are friendly especially the girl and the manager YY, he made us feel so welcome and was very accommodating as our diets include halal food, he was extremely understanding and respectful. He needs a raise, best manager I’ve ever come across. Thank you bonzai!
M. A.
Amazing food, thoroughly enjoyed the Singaporean lemon ice tea and the sushi, would 100% recommend an definitely be visiting again, thank you Y Y for the amazing service and recommendations.
B. K.
The customer service is always amazing! Great food, atmosphere and friendly staff. I definitely recommend the Singapore iced lemon tea
E. C.
+ Decent-quality sushi.
+ Generous portions with hot food.
- Manager spoke to us quite rudely as we walked in.
J. O.
Despite the wait for not booking, the food is worth the wait.
R. E.
Had the soft shell crab temaki and the red dragon rolls - both were very tasty and paired with the ginger, the rolls were unbelievable!
A. J.
We went on Wednesday night with the "Eat out to help out" deal and didn't book a table so the place was very busy so long waiting time was understandable.
The restaurant follows the Covid-19 regulations with hand sanitiser, under shoes spray and asking you for telephone number and postcode. The seats are spread out and has barrier so you feel safely distant from the other customers.
The food was amazing! We ordered takoyaki, miso soup and Sumo sushi platter.
Takoyaki - taste good. Nice and crispy outside. Ok amount of octopus
Miso soup - perfect. Not too salty like some places, loads of seaweed and tofu.
Sumo sushi platter - 10/10 for presentation! Sashimi was fresh. The sushi rice was soft yet firm (it didn't just collapsed when you pick it up). I enjoyed every single piece! Hard to pick a favourite!
The toilet wasn't the best. There is only one to share but they kept it clean. Nothing much else to say about it.
The decoration. Lively but not too cluttered. Really nice to look around.
It was really hot outside and the restaurant has open kitchen but they manage to keep it nice and breezy when you're inside.
Overall it was enjoyable dinner. The down side was that they didn't accept card. Not sure if they usually don't accept card or there's a problem with the card reader.
Jasmine tea for 2 - £3.98
Takoyaki - £6.90
Miso soup - £2.90
Sumo sushi platter - £35.99
J.
Amazing food here. Wide range of choice and extremely friendly staff. Only been to a few sushi bars in Leicester, but this one blows the others out the water.
Z. E.
This is the best place to eat Japanese food in Leicester! The food was really delicious and the decor was very pretty. The menu had lots of pictures and descriptions which made it easy to order. The staff was very welcoming. Yy the manager was really sweet and gave us excellent service!! We will definitely be back soon.
S. B.
Absolutely amazing food, ambience, and staff. The sushi was fresh and the Korean Rice Bowl was delicious. Our server, Angel, was also incredibly sweet and made our night. 100% going to be a regular at Bonzai!
h. t.
Friendly staff, great lunch time menu, Following hygiene better than any restaurant I have been to , fresh sushi ! Definitely a new favourite spot
K. W.
Best Japanese restaurant in Leicester - really nice food and extremely good service from Yo Yo :) Thank you so much !
P.S. You have to try the sake from the picture - soo good :)
A. R.
I love this restaurant and it's my first visit. I don't think I've been treated so well at an establishment. The ice teas we ordered we beyond excellent - Singapore lemon ice tea, can't go wrong. The service is fantastic and the staff are very kind. Our waiter was YY and he was great (an amazingly bright personality) - all of his recommendations were perfect!
H. S.
Absolutely amazing, delicious food! Excellent service, beautiful interior and very friendly atmosphere. Definitely recommend!
M. C.
The restaurant is wonderful & clean and service is the best. The waitress angel is the best very smiley face .5* service and the manager y y is profesional ,friendly , funny & good service too. And definetly coming back again
M. K.
Best sushi place in Leicester! First time visiting and the experience outdoes any dining experience I've had. The staff were so welcoming and accommodating not something you experience often which made our visit that much more memorable. The food was so yummy and we were well taken care of with our requests, definitely a must try!
T. C.
I must say I go to many restaurants and I have yet to be served as well as I have at Bonzai Sushi bar. YY (the manager) is a happy soul who made us feel very welcome, I highly recommend!
P. S.
Food is nice, missed tofu on this occasion as they didn't have any. Otherwise quite nice and good size portions
S. A.
First time trying sushi and was not disappointed. Highly recommend, great quality and excellent customer service. And the Halah sauce was amazing
A. M.
Tasty food with a good variety of Sushi, rice and Noodle dishes. The ambience is great and the staff are friendly and helpful.
Things to note:
Teppanyaki Set was not available on Sunday evening. Not an issue as there's plenty of other choice, but only found out after ordering.
Likewise, the restaurant is cash-only, but it's useful to know going in.
Would likely visit again.
A. D.
A really great place for Japanese cuisine people very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent would recommend this restaurant for high quality food
V. V. G.
I like it, but I prefer more traditional sushi! The service was incredible!
S. T.
I love it! the food was amazing and the service is good. nice people working there.

Absolutely amazing! Lovely, kind waitresses and they were very accommodating with our dietary needs. Delicious, authentic food and beautiful atmosphere to eat in. I will definitely be coming again (hopefully after I have improved my chopstick skills). Thank you so much!
s. w.
Fantastic.
Busy Saturday night. Was advised that I could be accomodated but was to be aware that they were very busy. I was accepting of the wait.
The tastiest mango roll. Delicious!
Salmon teriyaki was thoroughly enjoyable.
Really impressed with the service and the food was worth the wait.
Fabulous!
P. M.
Amazing place!!! Loved it!!! And the customer care was extraordinary! Never felt so welcome before!
The secret Singapore Ice Lemon tea is out of this world!!! Super refreshing!! I can wait to come return to this amazing gem if restaurant!! 💕🙌
J. J.
The Best sushi I've ever had.
The food was excellent, First class service
Specially Wayway hes very nice and look after us till we finish and the other staff are very friendly and always ask if we need anything, very polite. Highly recommend it.
K. P.
We had a reservation tonight for 2 people and they accommodated another 2 friends last minute. We ordered and was around 25 minutes before receiving any food to the table, which is slightly slow for my liking but not ridiculous, however the food came to our table rather sporadically and sort of at different times, for about 15 minutes one person was eating a warm dish without anyone else eating anything just because we hadn't got anything else delivered to the table. The food sure made the wait of 1hr20mins less of a blow after the food came out wrong once (an hour and 5 minutes in) and we had started to become increasingly frustrated with the wait, we were told that the girl that had served us was new which us fair enough but this wasn't any excuse for the initial wait of the order.
Overall I'd rate the food a 6/5 for sushi but around a 2 or 3/5 for service and speed. If you have nowhere to be this is a great little pla e to grab some good food!
The supervisor did try to put everything right and apologised for the long delays.
B. C.
I love coming to Bonzai now! before the new managers, there was one that wasn't very nice and for some reason didn't particularly like me. But now all the staff are super friendly and the food is still amazing as it was when i first went in 2015!
D. E.
Great little find. The welcome and service was amazing. Both ladies were attentive and friendly. The food was a little slow which we were warned about due to it being made fresh and the order before us was large. We didn't mind and it was worth the wait.
T. A.
Food, staff (our server Angel) and service were excellent!! The best sushi I have had in the city, highly recommend the crunchy tuna sushi roll.
T. L.
food is delicious and quite wide range from ramen to sushi. only one front house staff struggling to do all waitressing and payment. decoration more in keeping with japanese theme but could be made more sophisticated.
C. F.
I went for the hot chicken curry, and starters 3 course. I don't like sushi but there are so many other options. The staff are actually Japanese. Cute waitress.
E. P.
Amazing place. We went following the government's offer of 50% and the food they offer is amazing. The taste was great, and the staff amazing with us. We will go back for sure.
S. G.
Huge choice of sushi and food and relatively quick service. Very well priced for the portion sizes & recommend the plum wine
k. p.
Lovely food, friendly staff and a nice looking place. I eat sushi fairly regularly and this was excellent. My partner had a cooked meal which was also delicious
c. c.
Very good authentic Japanese food. Very reasonably priced, good location. Their bento boxes are a good deal.
H.
Food was beautiful. Wasn't really a fan of sushi before however, this place absolutely changed my mind. A number of great starters too, love the crispy chicken skewers. Prices are really good for the quality of food you get. Service is the only inconsistency, some days it's great, other days it's a little slow. The service staff are always super nice though. One of my favourite regular spots in Leicester.
L. T.
Y Y was def fantastic, polite, interesting!!! I'd say he's one of the best hosts I've ever met!!!
Comfy environment, gorgeous decoration, awesome service and fresh dishes. Can't lie, Bonzai Sushi Bar was just so perfect!!! I'd def come here AGAIN and AGAIN!!!
N. C.
Great restaurant with a fantastic selection of sushi and traditional dishes. The manager (yy) goes above and beyond to make sure your visit is a pleasant one, with the warmest welcome and attentive, caring service thoughout. On arrival he asked my Japanese girlfriend (who loves the food!) where she was from and adjusted the playlist to include songs from her country. Between the food and the service, this is a restaurant I will continue to return to in the future!
B.
Y.Y. the server has a great welcoming personality and makes a fantastic Singapore lemon ice tea! The design and the food here is amazing. Would definitely recommend.
E. M.
Went with a large group they were really accommodating. The food was delicious and generous portions plus free watermelon! The waiter YY was fantastic! Would recommend
p. m.
Really friendly staff, they let us eat in although it was really late, we got a boat of sushi and it was awesome. Best sushi I have had in ages!
J. B.
Well presented and very tasty! Service was excellent too! Would recommend and I will be returning!
M. C.
AMAZING customer service! I have never felt so welcomed and accommodated for as a muslim in an east asian restaurant. The meat is halal and you are made aware of which sauces have alcohol too! On top of that the sushi is delicious! The matcha ice tea is cooling and comforting and the Singaporean ice tea is divine (I believe it's not on the menu but a chef special). Would give more than 5 stars if I could!
L. J.
Nice place, friendly staff, yummy sushi freshly cooked 🍣 , lots of options
P. L.
Excellent food, the service is amazing
Way way is fantastic
Reccomend it
Place is so relaxing
L. S.
Fantastic authentic Japanese food. Lightest tempura batter you have ever had. The sushi was even better. Buuuut what tops it all off was the service. Staff and manager were amazing. I will definitely be coming back here again. ❤️
A. A.
I've been a regular at bonzai for years to be honest. Today I went down and there was a new manager (I haven't been in a little while due to covid) welcomed us nicely and gave us a table. Towards the end of the meal an Uber delivery man came in and as he was waiting for the food went to use the toilet, the manager practically grabbed him and said "no you can't use, only for customer" the man felt embarrased and was then told to wait outside! Baring in mind there was about 4 customers in the store at the time! Then I was told the card machine doesn't work so went to the cashpoint to cash out, came back and paid and was just taking a couple moments before leaving and I hear the manager speaking to one of the waitresses in his native tongue but I made out him saying "are they not leaving yet" looking in my direction. I then got angry at this and asked him to repeat it to which he started saying "no no you heard wrong" and started to try hold my arms. I was so angry and told him what he did was rude and he said "on bye and just told us to leave. Honestly really upset with this as we loved the food! I have no time for rude people and will not be returning!
E. C.
Absolutely amazing place!!❤️ Food is so delicious.🥢🍣 The staff are lovely and service was at it best.😍 We cant wait to go again. Brilliant place amazing. 😇We absolutely loved our Singapore Lemon Iced Tea- it was amazing! The food was great too!🥰⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
M. Z.
Tried sushi for the first time at this place and was very satisfied. Good was excellent and they had a great choice to choose from. The good was presented very elegantly in a plate the shape of a boat. The customer service was okay only as the staff could barely speak English a little strange for a place in the heart of Leicester City centre. I think the vibe of this place is more for couples and would recommend this place to couples who like their sushi. The prices are a bit on the higher end but nothing unreasonable and the overall experience is very good.
K. S.
Absolutely loved the experience. Great food and the manager is just amazing at hospitality. Would definitely recommend.
A. S.
The setting and the mood were fantastic - so quiet and enjoyable.
The servers were all polite and very happy to help.
The food itself was some of the best I’ve had, definitely the best I’ve had in Leicester.
I can’t wait to go back!
L. P.
The food here was great, very tasty but the experience was let down by a number of mistakes. We order vegetable tempura which had bits of prawn tempura in it by accident. Despite asking several times our noodles did not arrive, neither did our water. Booking a table beforehand was also really difficult.
Disappointing as the food was really good, big portions and at a fair price. But the customer service and desire to make amends were not existant.
m. s.
Absolutely amazing service, got served by two ladies who were so lovely and friendly. The sushi was amazing, one of the best I have ever had. Unforgettable experience, thank you :)
P. P.
Nice food, and decent service.
J. C.
amazing, can't really fault it!
a great experience every time i come, top food, nice atmosphere, the staff were polite and friendly.
the food comes once it’s ready and sometimes you have to wait longer for certain dishes - but once you get it,you can definitely see and taste that it’s been all freshly cooked! worth waiting!
red dragon and thick noodles with prawns and garlic sauce are definitely my favourite dishes!
highly recommend!
N. K.
Singapore lemon + plum drink made by YY is next level! Food was amazing, even for us veges (try the bonsai forest). Attentive service. Highly recommend!
G. T.
Would definitely recommend this restaurant!!! The food arrived quickly and the customer service was amazing. I felt very welcome as a Muslim as there was halal meat and was informed when sauces/dishes had alcohol in them.
S. M.
Really good selection. Food is delicious and portion size is great value.
L. C. M.
The waiter and waitress are really friendly. The food quality is so good when compare it the price. If you come visit leicester, you should try this restaurant.
S. W.
Best sushi in town, bar none. Believe, buy, and Bonzai! 😉
B. A.
Delicious food, portions were huge and well worth the price. Very interesting drinks menus too. They were very COVID safe and the staff were also very sweet. Loved our meal !!
A. E.
They showed a great amount of hospitality and the environment was very positive which I really liked. The food was amazing as I really enjoy Japanese food. The workers were very respectful and friendly and I would definitely go there again. :)
K. G.
Like other reviews mention the service isn't that great but there's a young woman and a bald guy who are very nice. Sushi was great but I wouldn't go for any of the noodle dishes as I saw the chef get the noodles from a packet in the microwave!
C. F.
It's a good place if you are looking to find some iconic Japanese food, served in a very unique composition. I especially enjoyed to see the sushi plate to be served on a wooden mini boat. The decor is original and let's you ponder over the culture for a bit longer. The staff is native Japanese which ads to the experience. They may not speak the greatest English but that is just on of the things you kind of feel good about in a place like this. You will be quickly spotted at the entrance, however the manager always seems to be worried on how to organise your sitting and food delivery time. He will inform you if certain food will take longer to prepare, considering that some of the food you or your friends ordered could arrive faster. It gets you to feel a bit uneasy when you are in front of him trying to make the right decision on what to order, but ultimately the whole experience is unique anyway. I would give five stars if the music was more of a Japanese feel as well, instead it's some sort of random radio station. I truly recommend you give this place a try. You may not return straight away but it will definitely stay in your mind.
J.
The best costumer service I’ve ever experienced. Stuff working there was so sweet and friendly. I had so much fun being there, definitely I’ll come back and will bring my friends there. Food were also amazing, everything was fresh and delicious!!
S. S.
Favourite "Japanese" sushi place in Leicester but the delivery via hungry panda is god awful. Waited 3 hours and 2 hours on separate occasions. Should give you a warning if they know their 1 delivery driver is busy.
Great dishes and reasonable price.
S. R.
Banzai sushi bar is AMAZIING the absolute best sushi eveeer…. Everything was really good including the rose…..Yy was an awesome host.
Thank you you’ll be see me very often.
S. H.
Very good sushi.
Liked the food generally speaking.
Surprised by the lack of seating space.
W. C.
Great sushi and nice atmosphere
S. D.
Y y the manager is the best! the food is amazing! Fresh and tasty I will be coming back again and again! This is amazing! Honestly!
D. B.
Very nice, clean professional place for friends meeting. Food is good and really tasty
M. C.
Delicious food, lovely mocktail and great service. The manager YY is really friendly and helpful. Definitely going back😊
E. T.
Really fresh food. I liked so much how my tempura was warm when it came. Salmon was very fresh as well. It is a little overpriced but I enjoyed eating there. The waiter was so friendly as well.
T. K.
Enjoyed the food. We both had a bento box and enjoyed greatly. Couple of Asahi beers to wash it down, great! Music left a lot to be desired though.... Some "tunes" were "unsuitable" for younger ears! It wasn't very busy, even for a Saturday lunch so perhaps the music was for the staff, not the customer? !
S.
Food tastes amazing and the staff is so friendly and catering!
100% would recommend it
S. W.
I have only ever had delivery from this place, so I cannot comment on customer service which seems to be a bone of contention.
Their sushi is fresh and delicious, the tempura crisp and oil free. Their udon in the ramen still have a chewiness which is rarely found. They have a huge vegetarian selection, so I don't think I will be eating anywhere else for a while!
T. w.
Had a lovely Saturday evening dinner here, excellent attentive service, excellent food, great playlist and excellent covid practices spraying at the door. Would recommend.
j. f.
YY gave us really good service and even knew Taiwanese which made my girlfriend really happy as she’s taiwanese!
Great service through out and the food tasted really good
l. a.
Whilst they advertise "open till 11pm" on entering at 10.05pm one of the "chefs" was angry with the waitress for agreeing to take our order. They stated the kitchen closed at 10.30pm, I pointed out it was only 5 past, so what was the problem? Atmosphere was so uncomfortable my 2 companions left, rather than stay and get food. Very bizarre behaviour. Food was nice, though way too much wasabi was put on my meal, so some of the sushi was ruined as it was literally caked in wasabi.
M. K.
Amazing experience and some of the best sushi I've had!
S. S.
Very nice selection of sushi and soup etc. Lovely atmosphere
A. M.
I've eaten a lot of sushi around the UK and Bonsai sushi is one of the best... great price for great sushi.. I'm sure you could find nicer but would cost you alot more, this is hands down one of the best in the Midlands and gets a major thumbs up from me..
M. K. H.
The Takoyaki was delicious.
D. C. B.
Great menu full of traditional Japanese food. Lovely, peaceful atmosphere. Nice themed décor, friendly staff, professional service. The tea is excellent and the food is delicious.
N. B.
Excellent food, lovely staff. Our favourite sushi restaurant!
J. E.
YY had fantastic service and the food was spectacular. Definitely will be coming again!
j. s.
Tasty sushi place, reasonably priced Japanese cuisine that tastes good without being crazy pricey. Sadly manager and staff were rude and slow (even though the place wasn't packed
A.
Top notch stuff, can tell they're very busy but that doesn't take away anything.
A. D.
The staff were so kind, the sushi is incredible, the staff topped up our glasses with water and when we were finished gave us complimentary grapes before paying
f. m.
The sushi was generously sized, tasty and fresh...other mains we ordered were ramen soup, miso soup, stir fried pad Thai. The flavours were really distinct, food was overall worth the money
K. B.

Absolutely superb menu, attentive staff, reasonably priced and melt in the mouth Takoyaki. 🐙 Slightly larger desert menu might be nice but try the black sesame ice cream. Sounds bizarre but suprisingly amazing.

Took mum for her birthday, nice food though clumsy service. We went on a Tuesday night straight after work so it was very empty but that meant that we easily got a table.

I usually go there or I order takeaway food at least once per week. I love their noodle soups, their rice dishes, and obviously the sushi. The prices are more than reasonable and the food is excellent.

Although known for their sushi which is great, it's worth trying their other main dishes as they are just as good, relaxed atmosphere and good service, would recommend.

Whilst they advertise "open till 11pm" on entering at 10.05pm one of the "chefs" was angry with the waitress for agreeing to take our order. They stated the kitchen closed at 10.30pm, I pointed out it was only 5 past, so what was the …

(Translated) The best sushi in Leicester! They are really good, and I know what I'm talking about because I tried 3 other restaurants before this one ...
But a little advice: to order on deliveroo, you have to do it early because the trays are quickly out of stock
(Original)
Les meilleurs sushis de Leicester ! Ils sont vraiment bons, et je sais de quoi je parle car j'ai testé 3 autres restaurants avant celui-ci ...
Mais petit conseil : pour commander sur deliveroo, il faut s'y prendre tôt car les plateaux sont vite en rupture de stock
