    Given the reputation and the difficulty of booking, we expected better standards...firstly, even a basic Asian restaurant does not provide disposable wooden chopsticks! We noticed poor communication between the servers because we had to ask several servers for the same thing to get things. The quality of the food and presentation are top but the portion is really ridiculous for the price.

    Overall the staff were accommodating we ate early at 7 pm but the restaurant didn’t really start to fill up until we were leaving and then it was only a third full. The food was nice. We had the Omakase menu. Don’t go expecting any help with wine choices we were told they do not have a Sommelier.
    May Fair KitchenResponded on June 2, 2025
    Dear Sarah, Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you found our team accommodating and enjoyed the Omakase menu.
