I am regular customer at this restaurant.

The manageress always come to chat with us which is nice and we always feel welcomed. I love their Bento, Ramen and Chicken Katsu Don! They do delivery service as well.

I love sushi, I've had good sushi and not so good sushi from the four corners of the world, but never have I experienced such a bad experience. A disgrace and insult to the Japanese culture and the good name of Sushi!

The food is terrible, unauthentic, pricey and the staff are clueless and rude.

The rice was over cooked to the point of resembling porridge. Plastered around the unfresh fish. I had to fight 12 rounds for the salmon nigiri to go down my throat.

What added to the insult was when I told the staff that the rice was not quite right, "a little over cooked, mushy" I said. I was made to feel quite sheepish when the response was "it's the way we cook rice, now stop complaining and eat up"

How I regret the biggest fight of my culinary life. Every bite, every chew, every swallow was a moment of torture.

I don't usually write reviews but I just felt I had to spread the word to all the sushi lovers out there and warn them of this so called sushi restaurant! Please avoid at all cost, because it certainly cost me!

This review is extraordinarily off the mark. I've been to Poppy Hana several times, the staff are really lovely, the food is fresh and delicious, the menu has something for everyone.

After searching for 'something different' that would not break the bank we came across Poppy Hana, the reviews were good and as my son whose birthday it was loves Japanese food we found ourselves there celebrating his 13th birthday.

It did not disappoint, we all had different starters all good followed by generous bento boxes which were delicious.

If you like Japanese food and don't want to pay a fortune this could be the place for you. so give it a try!

The area isn't the best place to park because the restaurant is on the main road and the side roads are where the council estates were located. Though the atmosphere was nice and the waiter who served us was funny and attentive. He made a few jokes when opening the Ramune (you have to push the marble in to open - soda drink) and I was able to order my favorite japanese drink Calpico (sweet milky drink)!

HOWEVER, the sushi was very disappointing. The pieces were like half the size of normal pieces. Also, the salmon nigris were WARM and I'm assuming it's because they took it from their conveyor belt so it probably sat there for a while (the restaurant has a mini conveyor belt section as well as normal seating tables). The yellowtail wasn't nice. I told the manager who apologised and told me that she would inform the chef. I would have felt better if she took the yellowtail off our bill but I couldn't be bothered to argue.

We ordered other things such as scallop nigris, tobiko nigris, mackrel nigris, soft shell crab rolls etc that were okay. The salmon sashimi, tuna sashimi and tempura roll were nice.

We didn't taste their cooked food but their sushi is not worth returning again. We did go there on a Tuesday when Weds/Thurs is usually the fish day (when the fresh fishes arrive!) but personally, if you are willing to pay for this then I would recommend Ginza Restaurant in Greenwich whose service is just as good and the sushi is much tastier e.g. caterpillar roll (soft shell crab roll wrapped around with avocado) is super yum!
