I will never go there again!

We were regulars since the restaurant is right next to the bank I work in, though the food is not that fresh and it's overpriced. Last night we went again and ordered our favourite - soft shell crab handroll, which always has been coming on a flower plate, every time we have been there. We made an order to the chef behind the belt and as usual, it came on a flower plate. My friend did the same. But when we order two more to the chef, the waitress interrupted and she insisted to take the order instead of the chef. When the food was ready, she insisted that the handrolls should be placed on another plate, which made them more than twice the price! We declined to have it but she then said we had to pay for the higher price for the handrolls we had already eaten! That's absolutely unacceptable since we ordered it on a flower plate and we ate them on a floor plate. That's how it works in a Japanese sushi restaurant. It's amazing how they could raise the price AFTER the customers have eaten the food! If there were a mistake with the plates they used, the staffs were responsible for them, not us! Moreover, we have been eaten the rolls on a flower plate every time we were there. It's unbelievable that such thing can happen in London!

If you want fresh sushi, I recommend Wasabi nearby, which is 1/3 the price! If you really want to sit at a belt, K10 nearby has much nicer food and better service.

Keeping on the Indian theme, I have to say that this restaurant in my opnion, has the best offering of Indian cuisine, that I have experienced outside of India,

From the begining until the end, the quality was high, popodoms, naan bread, and the ghost rogan josh incredible,

The Ambience is relaxed, extremely well presented, and the staff offer a great service, attending to every need.

The place is pricey, but I dont mind paying for high quality service, excellent food, especially when its a real taste of India.

Given the number of terrible sushi places in London this one's actually pretty good. But like the other reviewer here, it's the little things that annoy you, especially the disorganised staff (typically three or four different people will serve you through the course of a meal, with inevitable confusion) and the fact you have to squeeze up to a till to pay does grate. Still, the food (especially the sashimi) is good and their heart's in the right place (with their commitment to sustainable fishing). Good for a quick stop-off any time.

This is very popular with Highgate residents, but in my opinion is only just above average regular style Indian, at a price. You can do far better

Minty from Eastenders is meant to be a local according to the barman. (Have seen him there once). Also, they do some wonderful strawberry beer :)

A sushi restaurant in a railway station. There's something right about the context, but Moshi Moshi could do a lot more with it. It seems to be a great place to grab a quick bite at the Kaiten-zushi conveyor belt. Should you choose to take advantage of the secluded booths that overlook the Liverpool Street platforms, you'll find the service to be polite and efficient and a healthy choice of food - my advice would be to give preference to the nigiri over the temaki selection, the seaweed wrap was not the freshest. Group diners also benefit from interestingly designed pods to separate them from the main restaurant. However, there's a lacking cutting edge that could give the place a much needed boost. Simple things like having fresh flowers, keeping the windows clean, and the ability to pay at your table would give Moshi Moshi a more professional and city-chic feel that its diners are currently missing out on.

One of the last remaining caffs in central London, it's a down-at-heel gem.

Was a great pub with some great staff. Staff has changed a lot in the last year and the service has gone downhill.

A great place to grab a bite to eat. Despite the retro appeal it now has, the menu remains full and well priced for a West End venue. It's a relaxed atmosphere and you never leave hungry!

The New Piccadilly is an original 1950's coffee shop, with all fixtures and fittings dating back to that era. From the pink enamel and chrome espresso maker, to the Festival of Britain-era Formica table-tops, the vintage cash register, the neon lights, and worn booths, everything is exactly as it was half a century ago. Even the menus remain the same& where else can you buy a peach melba and banana split?!
The one thing missing is a girl with a beehive, wearing an A-line skirt.
The founder, Pietro Marioni, moved to London with his wife shortly after the Second World War and opened the New Piccadilly in 1951 along with six other cafes on this narrow street. When it first opened it was a rock n' roll hotspot, a place where gangsters and tarts mixed with foreign royal exiles, and where you could buy ravioli and chips for three shillings.

Lorenzo, Pietro's son, who now runs the café, started to working there at the age of six, washing up and peeling potatoes. Although the other cafes on the street have closed, this one has managed to survive, mostly thanks to Lorenzo's charm, his commitment to informality and his army of loyal diners, immortalised by the wallpaper of postcards from satisfied customer behind the counter.
Marioni says, a good caff should feel like an old comfortable suit you put it on and immediately feel relaxed.
Film director David Yates agrees and says that the café had a, quintessential romantic quality that was perfect for his film The Girl in the Café, a love story by Richard Curtis.
