I go here maybe once a month, or just less than, and the food is always so good, and the service is very nice, and it's just a lovely atmosphere. I love the maki, and green tea, and their pumpkin katsu curry is very good. I also love how you can see the chefs making the food.

I usually have a 'you have to try everything twice rule'. Unfortunately, I will not be applying this here. This was the first and only time I would come here. Firstly, we had the, all you can eat, so the menu was different (maybe the a la carte is better). I enjoyed the process of scanning the QR and selecting 6 hot dishes and 6 sushi dishes every 15 minutes for your 90-minute duration. The seaweed was the chewiest I've been served, the children peeled it off. The hot dishes were better, but the kimchi rice was stodgy and lacked any flavour. The sashimi was also low quality cuts. If the food is poor at a restaurant, it doesn't really matter about the other notable items. However, in this case, it was also incredibly tired. There was stock, extra chairs, and tables piled on the restaurant floor. The toliets were no better. There were sections of units missing and it had exposed pipework. As you can see in the video, there were also small flies that were there the entire time, even after removing a few. Overall, it wasn't worth the £100+ bill for two dry adults, one child and a baby.

Went for a lovely birthday meal with my partner, and it was great. The staff were friendly, the sushi was fresh and delicious. For dessert we had tiramisu and black sesame ice cream, and both were really good. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for good Japanese food.

I've been coming to Tonkotsu for some years now, both London and Brighton. The quality and flavours have never changed, love them completely. My main problem is with the ramen portions, they used to be HUGE. And yes, it was difficult to finish them and yei for no more food waste, but the prices didn't go down with the portions. That has bugged me ever since. Even so, love the food, nice atmosphere and always great service. I still go there so, yeah, love them.
