9/10The food was served hot and served tapas style so you could try a few different dishes. it was both delicious and interesting. We absolutely loved it.This is a hidden gem that not many people know about. There is no menu outside and I only discovered it online. The music was at a pleasant level. They also honoured the 20% discount we were promised when booking online. A great place tho lighting a little dark.

Sophisticated venue, very friendly staff (especially the lovely Scottish lady who checked up on us). Great food, the green dragon sushi and the aubergine were the favourites

4.5/10The sushi sharing plate was utterly tasteless. The rice was so stodgy and it just wasn’t pleasant to eat. I’d seen really good reviews so thought it would be worth a try but really wouldn’t recommend this place. We were the only people in the restaurant at Sunday lunchtime.

Lovely friendly staff, happy and smiling. Food was really good and well presented. There was a live singer on who was good as well, not too loud or over-the-top.

The sushi here was nice however there was not a lot of options on the menu and they wouldn’t do any basic staples such as rice which was disappointing. Also ordered a smashed cucumber salad which came and was just slices or cucumber with no flavour. The restraunt itself was nicely decorated with nice views and they had a Dj playing some good music. Overall nice place but wouldn’t come here if you’re actually hungry

2/10The table was cancelled by the restaurant at very short notice. I couldn’t rebook my son’s birth meal. Extremely frustrating.

8/10Food was excellent. The service was, at best, confused. There didn’t seem to be enough staff - every time we needed a waiter, we had to ask one to come over: they even forgot part of the food order.

9.5/10The best sushi I have ever had in my whole entire life. Cocktails were outstanding. Water also great. Didn’t get the waitresses name but was very friendly and attentive. Would recommend if you’re a sushi lover!!!!!

9.5/10Very nice ambiance, delicious food and nice service. Ordered our drinks twice. Second time it took 15 minutes before we gave up and went to pay as we were done waiting. Other than that it was really nice!

7.5/10This restaurant scores high on location and design, though it felt a bit too crowded for my liking. The staff were super friendly but clearly struggled to keep up with the crowd. **Drinks:** The sake menu is small but well-curated, with options available by the glass, small bottle, or full bottle. I was pretty happy with the two Junmai options. There isn't a specific spirits menu, but they do offer a decent variety of whiskeys. **Food:** The cucumber salad and Asian slaw were nicely presented but lacked flavor. The sashimi platter was excellent, although it was a letdown to have so little ginger and wasabi. The chicken yakitori and the calamansi kaffir lime cream were the highlights of the meal. **Service:** I made it clear when ordering that sake was my priority. However, the sashimi came first and the sake they served was incorrect. I prefer my sake served before the meal. It took 45 minutes to clear my sashimi plate as the ice was nearly overflowing, and I had to prompt the staff to clean it up. Considering it wasn't even busy yet, I expected better service. Overall, the food and drink were great, but the service could definitely use some improvement.

9.5/10Friendly service, fabulous food. Restaurant is beautiful but was very quiet on a Saturday lunchtime. We had sushi, belly pork, crispy chicken, cod croquettes and marshmallow dessert - everything was perfectly presented and tasted wonderful. Highly recommended.

9/10The service was good and the food was great. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered seconds. We were a little put out that, after a while, we weren't able to have conversation due to the music being extremely loud. Fortunately there is a much quieter bar downstairs that we were able to move to once we had finished our food.

10/10We lunched at Sora on a Sunday afternoon in March 2024. The seating is lovely, the staff are well trained, highly competent and friendly. We chose some cocktails and a selection of mixed sushi, pork belly and braised beef. Everything was done to perfection, and the service was well paced. Will definitely come back. Thank you.

10/10So good!! Id tried to find a sushi restaurant that was somewhere in-between wildly expensive/fancy and super chill whenever I came across this place. Please go. It's gorgeous, the service is wonderful, the food is fantastic and it'll soon be super insta famous so go before that happe. Thank you to the wonderful staff, loved it!

9/10Mostly amazing food (there was some quite chewy bees but everything else was great) delicious cocktails and great service. We weren't happy with our table (there's a bit on the end that doesn't have as much atmosphere or a view) and were promptly moved to a better one. Will defo be back!
