This is a great tapas style restaurant for a night out with friends and family. The stars were the robatas and the baos. The Iberico pork was perfectly cooked and tender. The pork belly bao was juicy and full of flavor. The food was exceptional and we would definitely come back. Only drawback that evening was the service which was slow and at time non-attentive.

Wow wow wow! Food creations at its finest! If you are meat lover or vegetarian you will find everything on the menu which frequently changes saisonal. We've been there so often and Mark (the chef) surprises us every time. The plates are ideal for sharing - so you can try more different meals. The cocktails are delicious as well. Guys you rock it!

The food is sized like tapas and priced like a dish. Yes, I know it's London, but still... Other than that, it was delicious. Definitely go if you're an oligarch or want to celebrate your yacht sale or finding that sixth oil field.

We went here with quite a large group from work. We were quite skeptical when it came to ordering as we ordered A LOT but they did a great job at serving the food. The food was great and plenty of vegetarian options available.

Was looking for a spot to solo dine before a show in Hackney and landed on this gem The space is open and inviting, perfect for groups of any size, they also have spots at the bar which is a fave of mine, especially if I’m alone. I have the daiquiri which as lovely, nice and tart with a coconut rim. I snacked on a soft shell crab bao, tuna rice cakes (perfect to share) and the cabbage which was in the most delicious miso sauce. Great wine list to boot, def bookmark this east London spot!

Good selection of vegan options with great quality and taste. Nice atmosphere, friendly service and vibe. I had crispy tofu bao and it was delicious, also mushroom gyozas but the portions are on a small side.

A Japanese restaurant with many exciting dishes. The dishes are tapas-like, so it’s common to order 3-4 per person. A brilliant concept that allows you to taste many different dishes. They only had chopsticks on the table, but I imagine you can get a knife and fork if you ask. If I have to nitpick, I’m not a fan of sitting on high bar stools without backrests. The food, drinks, and service were excellent.
