Saki

Saki's is simple, cheap, with decent food. It's not the most astounding atmosphere (although the Brompton Road one is slightly livelier than the one at Queensway) but it's fair enough deal. The staff are friendly, the food is good, the place is clean, what more do you want?

Saki restaurant, Queensway, which once tabled basic but authentic Japanese food, is now a place best to be avoided. Today, a hotchpotch of disgusting mismatches awaits its customers. Shrimp Tempura soba consists of chunky Korean or Chinese noodles, depending on the whim of the maitre d’ . Saturated in a mix of soya and water and accompanied by shrimp tempura, the taste is simply…Ugh…!! One of the most sickening blends ever savoured can be acquired by frequenting this establishment. Even a request for “hot saki” results in a cold shiver down the spine.

i go to saki every week, sometimes 2 or 3 times

simply because its brilliant, the food, particularly the ramen is excellent, the sushi cheap as far as japanese goes and most importantly the service, me and my friends don't know the managers name so we call him 'old man ramen' but he's the most friendly guy you'll ever meet, once we got to know him, he started giving us free, shusi, drinks and sometimes no service charge

i admit the atmosphere isn't great and it is barely ever packed out but once you give it a chance you realise how excellent this resturant really is,

i wouldn't advise it for a formal outing with friends but as a more casual thing like lunches and dinner

if your looking to go, as i have tried almost every thing on the menu i would say order:

yaki udon £5.50 and egg fried rice £2.80 (i think)
