Review of Kulu Kulu Sushi
25 Feb 08, 13:34
Just simple, tasty food 
Don't walk in here expecting a full glamorous experience - this is as basic as it gets.
Help yourself to tea from the sideboard - pick your food from the conveyor belt - and enjoy. Completely unpretentious environment which will see you in and out in 30 minutes.
The food is pretty tasty - a mixture of fresh vegetable and fish dishes, with the occasional bit of chicken for good measure. Lots of hand rolls, sashimi, some deep friend tofu - with plenty of wasabi, ginger and soy sauce on the side. The lack of covers on the conveyor-belted food could be a bit off-putting, but we didn't hear anyone sneezing whilst we there!
The price is pretty good considering what you're getting - presumably kept down by the lack of requirement for waiters.
If you're a fan of Yo! Sushi - treat yourself - you wont go wrong.

Review of Soba

Go to the other branch! 
I'm not sure if its because they were quite busy, understaffed, or what, but I found this branch of Soba to be the more dissapointing restaurant of the two.
Staff were run off their legs, looking pretty angry, and had an air of "its all going wrong" about them.
The food, although having the same ingrediants (presumbly recipies) as the Poland Street restaurant, tasted different, more oily, and it took us 25 minutes to receive our food after ordering.
I note they do have a larger offering of dishes at this branch, with sushi on the menu as well, but thats not enough to pull me in the door - i'd rather spend 5 minutes extra walking down to Poland street for an overall more pleasent experience.

Review of Soba

Good food, great price 
Here's a restaurant you can guarantee a good plate of noodles, complete with fresh ingrediants, at an honest price. They serve quality dishes, be it a huge bowl of soup, stir-fried noodles, or boiled/stir-fried rice, in a style to suit you - in under 10 minutes.
The restaurant itself is a little unusual - a sort of corrugated wall industrial look, filled with communal benches - minimalist in design but it works brilliantly given the Japanese feel they have tried to create.
Given a choice of this or Wagamamas, I'd choose Soba every time.
