We had a table booked for 7.30 but we had to wait 20 minutes until our table was ready. Food was nice though, but they never had banana fritters which I would say they should have seen as it's mostly Chinese food

Alcove style seating created a cosy feeling. Attractive room. Novelty food presentation was interesting and food was good. At first didn't realise the food circulating would be changing all the time so this gave us a nice surprise. Vegatables particularly tasty, especially the green beans. Only downside is that the continually circulating dishes distract the eye and can sometimes make it hard to focus on the conversation at the table until you have all found your choices, but would definitely go back.

Waiters very helpful and friendly, plates on table cleared efficiently. The food on the conveyor seemed to be replenished quite quickly. They were good with the small children

First visit and plan to go back soon. Staff very helpful and professional. Food lovely with a good selection. As it was my first visit wasn't sure how it worked but the staff explained well and it didn't take long to get in the way of it. Good layout as well didn't feel cramped and even although it was busy it didn't feel that way and there was always plenty of food circling. Thanks all most enjoyable.

It was an interesting experience but it was very distracting looking for food all the time. The selection wasn't very big when it came to food that wasn't breaded or chips, nuggets etc but it was a novelty experience and the price was good.

Maybe a good concept but many flaws ie, you do not know how long food has been on belt and food often cold a bit mish-mash way of presenting food as you may want something that goes with noodles or rice and by the time they come round the dish you chose was not hot, and we had a seat right outside of the kitchen. Also very slow in replacing or re-newing dishes so a bit disappointing so probably won't be back at this restaurant.

Went along with Mini-me who was very excited by the double-deck conveyor belts! Despite making a booking and arriving a little early, we still had to wait for quite a while to be seated - perhaps a good sign as to how popular it is! The food, however, was really good and my small companion was soon tucking into sushi, sashimi, dumplings, crispy squid, etc! The only potential 'problem' was stopping him from taking food off the conveyor and then wasting it (hate that!). The staff were quick and attentive, but the best bot was when the bill arrived. For what we had, we'd easily have paid another £20 than the less than £30 that we did pay. Great place - we'll be back.

Food is excellent, with great variety to cater for every taste. Diners can eat as much or as little as they wish and fill their plates multiple times. The waiting staff can be a bit quick to whisk away empty plates, which can be a bit intrusive but that is the only downside. This is a great place to come if you are very hungry!

We had a good choice of food and drink. Each plate is delicious. Kids loved the food going round in front of them. Music is a bit loud for dinner. You have to pay cash.

Nice and relaxed, as we arrived at opening time. Sometimes there can be pressure to clear the table quite quickly at peak times. Good selection of dishes considering only just open. Food nice and fresh as always and staff very friendly. Highly recommend.

Food was not hot enough & tasted as if it had been lying for a while, lots of gaps in the conveyor belt when the food was going round. The sushi was very dry

too much fish dishes for me and the puddings are a bit of a let down want more gateuxs and cheesecakes. They did very kindly make me some Banana fritters that were delicious.
