Excellent. We were recommended to this place by a friend who’s a bit of a gourmet, and we really owe her for this. The food is mind-blowingly good. It is expensive but every penny was well spent. At first we were a bit concerned about the price so we ordered conservatively, but what we had was so good that we had to order more. In the end we ate two portions each, plus dessert. Everything we had was excellent, we can’t think of anything that wasn’t, even the sides like pickles, cucumber and ginger that we usually never touch were so good that we uncharacteristically ate them as well. Even though we usually don’t eat oranges the ones given to us were so delicious that we finished all of it. We left literally nothing on our plates. I want to give the details of how good every dish is but then this review would be too long. The staff were attentive and gave us good recommendations on what dishes have fresh ingredients on the day. We left the restaurant feeling elated. This place has spoiled me when it comes to Japanese cuisine.

I did not have a good experience at this restaurant. I had dinner at Ikeda when I was visiting London with a friend. We were craving sushi, and happened upon this restaurant while walking to find another one. We saw the Zagat rating inside the door and the older Japanese couple eating at a nearby table, so we assumed it had to be a relatively good restaurant. But it was a mistaken assumption on our part. After we were seated, we were brought some sort of small tuna appetizer. Then we ordered some sushi, sake and edamame. The sushi was OK, not mind-blowing by any means, yet very very expensive. When we got our bill, we saw that we were charged 2 pounds for the tuna appetizer that we did not order. We were also charged 2 pounds for the water we ordered with our meal — which was regular tap water brought in two tiny glasses. Seriously? 2 pounds for each glass of water? The following week after i got back to the U.S., I checked my credit card bill and found out they charged me twice for my meal. Now I’m going to have to call my credit card company and dispute the additional charge they put on my card. I think these people are shysters. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. Stay away!
