Review of Satsuma

Good Quick Bento 
This place is, as all the other reviews state very similar to Wagamamas, but with more lived in and more established feel to it. It is like they believe in the food they are serving, however in Wagamamas it's no so convincing.
The atmosphere is buzzing and busy, but service was quick and efficient. I opted for the chicken katsu bento and was suitably impressed. I love the idea of bento and having lots of different type of food, suits me well. This is my first try of bento so I may have it all wrong.
Great juices - the strawberry and orange is really worth a try!
This place is ideally situated for a quick bite before going out in the west end, or even before a trip to the Curzon cinema.

Review of Yo! Sushi

You Can't Order???
Ok, I love sushi and before I moved to London coming here to go to Yo Sushi was always an exciting prospect. I have been to a few branches around London now and this one is most unorganized by far.
The food is good and the atmosphere is also really buzzing, but the service is really patchy. I have been here at the weekend and the service was better but still not great.
There always seems to be a real atmosphere with the staff, when sat at the bar facing the food preparation area the staff (obviously overworked and under paid) were swearing and complaining about customers and management. It was really off-putting and it was hard to concentrate on the meal.
That was not the worst thing by far, it was more frustrating never being able to grab someone to take your order - this place is well set up for off the conveyor belt diners but not if you want to order off the menu.
Good food as always just too busy and bad employee relations!
