Sushi Hiroba - London

I tried to order from Hiroba twice tonight using Deliveroo, but they never confirmed my orders. I called them both times but no one answered. It was a very frustrating experience. I'm not even sure if they were open. They may have closed down, in which case Deliveroo may be at fault.

The sushi at this restaurant is fantastic, and the service is outstanding. The location is perfect, just a two-minute walk from Holborn station. It is highly recommended to make a reservation as it appeared to be very busy when we arrived.

We visited one if the private rooms for a birthday party. Really cosy intimate setting, good food and helpful staff. Overall great value for money, esp for a smaller group. Everyone had a great time and quite a few people told me they were considering booking it themselves!

I came here a few years ago when the food was amazing and great service, and I recommended this place to a lot of friends. Decided to go again recently on a Saturday night around 6pm. The restaurant wasn't full as we arrived when they just opened, the staff looked and sounded unenthusiastic, we eventually caught their attention to order some food off the menu that wasn't on the sushi train, our ordered food took a long time to arrive even though we could see it sitting there in the open kitchen. Food quality has really slipped since I went before, fish didn't have much taste or tasted all that fresh. The price has gone up a lot and is quite expensive for what it is now, and service charge was automatically added for very minimum service really, won't return and won't recommend unfortunately. A total contrast to what I experienced before.

I wasn't very hungry when I decided to give this place a try. Unfortunately, some of the wines listed on the menu were not available. The service was good, and the food was decent, but it didn't really stand out in any particular way.
