Hi Sushi Salsa

It's not really Japanese food but it is a nice place to meet friends in the middle of Camden. My friends' bentos were fine, so were my nigiris/ rolls and the prices are average. Service was not as bad as the previous review in my experience - I'd say adequate.

However, unless my mates suggest going there, I won't choose to go there myself. There are so many far nicer, and more authentic places to go in London.

A friend of mine was leaving London so we decided to reserve a table for dinner.

I have to say, apart from the wonderful company of my friends, I had a lousy time.

First of all, we were left to stand alone for a while before we were shown to our table. In fact, I had to approach a member of staff, who walked straight pass us, to inform her that we had reserved a table.

We received no greeting whatsoever. So we sat down and decided on our drinks. No one attended to us until we "caught" someone. And then they forgot our drinks.

The food was very disappointing. My friends and I have been to a few Japanese restaurants around the world and we all agreed that we felt like we were in a fast food restaurant. The sushi was falling apart and the grilled unagi (eel) was definitely burnt. Even so, they would never serve you burnt burgers in Macdonalds!

The music was awful. I am a fan of Lady Gaga but I would never want to listen to her entire album whilst having dinner.

I felt embarrassed and I actually apologised for my choice of restaurant.

I was perhaps slightly amused by the restaurant layout. The sunken seats were interesting but one would find it difficult standing up and leaving the table gracefully.

I would absolutely not recommend this place to anyone.
