    Have been going to Yama Moms since it opened and it is normally very consistent, but not this time. Tried to order a bottle of champagne, but there was none, of any description. We were told it was because they were changing wine lists shortly, but that doesn't really excuse the lack of what is one of their premium offerings. I would have gone over the road to the Off Licence and bought a bottle, but that did not happen. Service was very clunky, with mains trying to be served whilst the sashimi was still being eaten. The sashimi was as good as ever but I don't want to eat rice and truffle beef with it. It felt like they were rushing us and asked for there to be a pause. When we did ask for our mains, they were dry and not as they should have been. My guess was they were simply kept warm, which is unacceptable. They then tried to serve another glass of red wine and another bottle of water, neither of which had been asked for. and were sent back. We were then offered another sashimi platter, which we had already had. These errors were blamed on a 'system error' but I think the reality was that the kitchen was not being properly run and felt like they wanted to get home, which incidentally the manager had departed for, having asked to see them at 9.45pm. For what would be your busiest night of the week, with many new staff and a kitchen that was not working as well as it should, I find that a strange decision. The person I did speak to was very apologetic and understanding and did give me a 15% discount on our meal, which wasn't the point, I really just wanted a problem free service. Somethings these things happen, an 'off night' and we will give it another try in due course but I very much hope this is not a sign of standards being relaxed and the customer being asked to foot the bill for a sub-standard service and meal. Fingers crossed.

    Very lucky to have this brilliant restaurant so near to where we live. It really is as good a Japanese restaurant you would find in Central. Would definitely recommend.

    For the second time we have been placed by the kitchen when the restaurant is largely empty, following a booking. It isn’t clear why and the nicer tables were still empty when we left. Drinks took a very long time to be served, arriving after our food. Size of the main course was miscommunicated and was very poor value. Many nice menu items have gone. Terrible music, very loud. We won’t be back. It is sad as this used to be our number one restaurant for special occasions.

    Tasty food but wouldn’t go back because of the poor service. We requested the food to be served all at once but of course did not happen - this was forgivable. However one of the main meals took over 1 hour to be served and with 4 different waiters saying ‘it’s coming any minute now’ ‘the chef said it’s already done’ ‘it’s coming in 3-4minutes’ .. it was ridiculous. They should’ve communicated with each other before approaching the table. The food is lovely but the service was such a let down.

    Food was amazing, from starters to desserts. Service was great, but a little bit slow due to going at peak time. I will be coming back.
