James: “There is a real comfort about the place. It’s fun, not pretentious and the food is really interesting and well thought out. They are doing a fixed menu, but you can eat snacks in the bar room. If you go in the main dining room, it’s got a really great vibe, high ceilings, and very simple. They have a crackin’ wine list as well.”

James: “You always leave feeling like you’ve had something incredibly healthy, no matter how much you eat. I love that chef Junya Yamasaki changes the menu regularly. He’s a Japanese guy cooking British food with a Japanese sensibility. It’s very simple, but with a lot of thought and care behind the food. They are the only ones in the country making their own udon and everything in-house.”
Courtney: “This is my idea of soul food. A big bowl of ramen noodles that are warming and hearty. Don’t forget to check out the specials, some serious treats. The focus in not on drinks, so chill out with a beer or a carafe of house wine.”
