My Review

1 out of 10 stars
I had a totally nightmare experience with Kikuchi and my husband and I decided not to enter the restaurant. Firstly, once my husband and I entered the door, we were immediately told that all the tables are fully booked and only two places are available at the counter for 1hr and 30min. Obviously, there was several tables which didn't have 'reserved' signs and no single customer was there. Still, when we said yes we are fine with that counter seats, the next question was the minimum charge is £25 per person. Apparently, the Kikuchi does not want to accept non-Japanese customer for some unknown reason. It is a shame that we went there only because my Japanese colleagues like its Japanese traditional pub-like atmosphere. If you don't want to get dissappointed even before reading the menu, you better avoid visiting the Kikuchi in the first place. Worst experience I have ever had in London restaurant.
