    A total disaster all round - we had booked this a few weeks before as a special night out with our daughter and husband - both couples celebrating engagement and. Valentine’s. We rang to say we were running a few minutes late - the right thing to do - to be told ‘you can be half hour late - one table had not finished yet’. We duly arrived at correct time and it was total chaos - at 8.50pm we were still waiting (standing on the steps) for a table - only to be told be a very abrupt waitress that did we know the kitchen closed at 9.00 pm !!! A very helpful couple at nearby table said they had been there for 2hrs and no food had arrived at all !! Needless to say we were not going to be fed there that night- no apologies no offer of a drink - nothing. We whizzed across the road to Trio who were amazing and helpful and we got fed. Will be risk going again - the jury is still out.

    You have new staff all be it from one young lad and lady who have been there for a while who are very good , the lady came in at around 6 ish at which point she started to take orders etc , but the new guys no so good , the young guy serving needed more of where things were but he was good , the other manager type well no comment ,the other issue is there was at one stage 8 people standing between tables waiting on take aways which were not ready the kitchen was overwhelmed , while we were trying to have a nice Valitine’s dinner 🤦‍♂️ We love coming and we love the food but it needs better organising or your loose your regulars and new dinners ,

    It's a shame when your favourite restaurant lets you down. We've been here a lot and generally left delighted. For a Valentine's Day special lunch you would expect superlative service despite the restaurant being full. As it happened, our order seemed to get lost and we had to wait for an hour to get served. Once glass of complimentary wine did't seem much to outweigh the inconvenience as we watched customers who had arrived after us get served snd depart. The waiters were polite through this embarrassment but we did not want to hear excuses about short staffing.

    We had a range of dishes and it was all delicious - even for a non sushi fan. The spicy udon noodles are so good - as are dumplings, pork belly, squid and I always really enjoy the salads. Service was friendly and fun and we really enjoyed our evening.

    Nice decor and service was good. Starters were nice but main dishes were awful. Took one bite of tuna teriyaki and left it as it was undercooked and tasted bad. Noodles were greasy and had a horrible after taste that kept repeating on me all the way home. Left most of my meal and wouldn’t bother coming back here. Very expensive and below average quality.

    I have to say Saffron Walden Sushi and Salad is my favourite restaurant and the restaurant that made me fall in love with Japanese cuisine. I am going to bring my mother sometime to check out the food because she has not yet experienced Japanese food. And I’m sure she would be pleasantly surprised
