Flying Fish Sushi

This is an odd restaurant. In fact I'm actually reviewing the restaurant here, which isn't branded 'Flying Fish', but 'Bonburi'. The kitchen is the same though. The food is very good. Great Kara Age, lovely dumplings, eel is good, nice teriyaki salmon, sashimi is good. The staff are also nice. But the service overall is rather odd. Firstly, you have to order on these little bits of paper, which is a bit irritating. Oh, that's very Japanese I hear people saying. Yeah, I don't care. Often things don't quite turn up as expected (missing dishes, things come with somewhat random timings, etc). They also make you share dips and things (by bringing fewer than one per dish), which personally I don't mind, but some might. The really strange thing is that the delivery menu is different. And better in many ways (4 dumplings per option instead of 3, extra dishes available). I still eat there regularly and would recommend it, partly because of this sightly quirky charm. And because the food is excellent.

Grabbed a quick lunch on a Friday with a couple of Friends. Had a chicken Katsu curry, was awesome and shared some prawn toast (which had an entire prawn battered into it with a light batter) and some pork dumplings. All the food was really good. It was quiet so the service was rapid, but good atmosphere and the waitress was very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely go again and try some more items from their menu.

Eaten there 4 times now, and have always eaten in the restaurant or picked up take-away (the complaints all appear to be about their delivery). The lunch menu is expensive (£25 head inc service for 3 courses and a drink) but everything I've had has been wonderful... Except the Spider roll. which was simply not to my taste. The "Asian Paella" was tasty but a bit too too spicy for, with no warning on the lunch menu, . The sushi bombs and dragon roll are gorgeous however,
