“ We travelled from London down for an event and just so happened to get dinner here, absolutely delicious bento boxes and donburi, the starters were also amazing! Service was speedy and very attentive and they were so friendly! Definitely will back!! Would highly recommend ”
“ Not bad for the taste, service is spot on. But table setting is very crowed, I can hear the conversation next table. Feel sorry for the couple next to us, trying to keep our kids to talk quietly was the challenge of the meal. Food is good in general, menu is too complex to read, could do with some photos. Really busy restaurant, please book in advance! ”
“ First time ate there. Lovely food. Just the guy who attempted to take our orders probably not a front of house staff as he struggled a lot. But the food was lovely so no complaints. They also put premium toilet paper in their toilets I have never seen in any other restaurant. Just made me feel like they care. Will definitely visit again. ”
“ Super delicious, authentic Japanese food . Great selection for the whole family, great flavours and freshly prepared. Service was friendly and attentive - thank you, we will be back! Didn’t take more pictures as we got overexcited with the food - crispy squid, dumplings, black miso cod...yummy ”
“ Delicious Japanese food. Only 10 tables so worth booking. I loved the sushi and starters, the bento box was nice but not quite as good. Which is okay because I’ll try something else WHEN I come back next time!! ”
“ Really yummy food and good for vegans and veggies! ”
“ Really great and one of the more authentic Japanese places I've been in England outside of a major city. Some things I think they did better even than in major cities like the tempura - the tempura batter was really good! The miso aubergine was so delicious and perfectly cooked. The miso soup somehow stole the show as one of the better ones I've had in England. The fried rice was interesting. That was the least authentic thing from my experience but it was still tasty, however next time I would like to try some other things on the menu! The decor of the place is such a vibe, and the name of the restaurant, 'family' is fitting thanks! ”
“ The place to go when you want an absolute feast! You could go for a light meal, but realistically once you are there you will want to try everything!! Super friendly staff, nothing is too much. The quality will not be beaten and then there’s the sauces, oh my the sauces!!! ”
