Umaii Kitchen

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 I made the stupid mistake of tasting the food before taking a picture, and after the 1st bite, totally forgetting that I even owned a phone. Great tasting food, great choice and the ribs are to die for. Oh boy those ribs... Now I know what they have to offer, will need to try more off the menu. Abs...

Donburi & Co Croydon

Pan-Asian restaurant

👍👍 Really nice flavors and attention to detail. It took about 12 mins to get our food due to a lot of deliveries but the staff were really nice and apologized for taking longer than the 7 minutes they had promised.

The Rising Sun

Sushi restaurant

😠 1 star for the overall experience. The food is amazing, best sushi in southeastern London, but service needs to improve. It is impossible to order over the phone, the line is either busy or rings with no answer. I will change my review/ratings once a more effective way to order the sushi is availabl...

Taru

Takeout restaurant

😐 I may be a bit spoiled with having eaten amazing Japanese food but this one didn't make the grade. It was OK for the price, specially with the 15% off for takeaway (we later found out that 25% off on delivery so probably better to do that). We had vegetable spring roles which were average. The sus...
