Nishi Restaurant

We had (one of) my birthday dinners here. Food and service were amazing! Everything we’ve ordered was delicious (ceviche, sushi, crispy rice etc). It’s on a pricier side but definitely worth it - we left full and happy!

Disappointing given the hype around this place. The service was super poor. I feel bad as he was very polite but we were waiting an hour for starters that we could see on the sushi bar for 20+ minutes. The hot appetisers were tepid at best. The sushi was Ok but after you and a few other tables get angry at the manager for poor service it ruins the vibe and the meal. To their credit they removed a bottle of wine from the bill and didn’t add the service charge (which would have been removed no matter what). Won’t be going back.

The service was excellent from the moment my husband and I arrived. The food came VERY quickly and the taste was heavenly! Even the presentation of the food was almost to pretty to eat. I don't have a single negative thing to say about this experience. They only added the cherry to top off a fantastic 30th birthday for me! I will most definitely be returning here!

A great venue with an expensive but cosy feel. The service was friendly but in my opinion could be better. 4 of us were sat on the first floor close to the chefs working the Sushi bar - which was fun to watch. We arrived early (around 18:00hrs) as we were still lagging with UK time difference and the restaurant was empty upstairs. In general the food was VERY delicious with a few exceptions - for me the Ceviche starter was tasteless, which was a real shame as I had some great expectations of this dish based on the menu write-up and the description given by the waitress when requested... and this is the thing. It would have been really good if the waitress had taken a little longer to explain the dishes we were interested in, in a little more detail - especially as we were the only occupied table on the floor at the time. Another example was the Dim Sum basket; we had no idea it was coming with a little bit of everything from dumplings to Bao buns which was fantastic, and again very tasty and the experience could have been enhanced with a simple elaboration on the dish by the waitress at the time. We also ordered the Child Beef, Dynamite Spider Roll, Thai Curry and a kids meal - all very delicious indeed. Along with all this scrumptious food I also ordered a carafe of Diamond Sake and asked to have it served warm - it arrived close to boiling and when I picked it up to pour I had to drop it as it was too hot to handle... I asked the waitress for a napkin so I could pour the sake and explained I had dropped it (and spilt a fair amount of that liquid gold on the table) - I received my napkin along with a warning that the sake was hot! - Better late than never I guess lol. No effort was made to top-up my sake, I guess I could have asked. The Diamond Sake was actually very agreeable considering it had been boiled - I wonder what it might have been like without the over-eager preparation? For the 4 of us (3 adults, 1 kid) the total bill was $603 In summary Nishi serves up delicious food, is a great location with good customer care. It wouldn't take much to make this a 5-star venue (again, in my opinion) with a little more explanation on the dishes and a little more awareness of the customers needs/concerns. We look forward to eating there again soon.

The food is amazing everytime. Even if your not a sushi lover, I'd recommend their other menu options. They also have a live performer on Friday nights and some Saturday nights. I'm telling you she is phenomenal and makes the experience that much better!
