Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was a fantastic place for Japanese food. The staff were fantastic and the food was out of this world! We had the nigiri platter, wagyu rice box amongst other things and we could not find a single fault. It a must visit when in...London.More

Six of us had a fabulous meal on Monday, 10th July, 2023. All the staff were welcoming, very helpful in suggesting what we might order and the food was fresh, different, so tasty and just delicious. A couple of our guests said it was the...best meal they’d ever had! The manner in which the food is cooked, at your table, is quite exciting and good fun. All the staff were great and ‘Nathan’ who looked after us was friendly, efficient and, icing on the cake, a Manchester City fan! Will definitely return next time we’re in London.More

Pre theatre food needed and there were queues everywhere. We got a table in here and very glad we did: delicious sashimi and tempura bentos. There were hotpot’s at other tables too which looked great. Highly recommend

We found Charco Charco Hot Pot in Martins lane. We had no booking and they found us a table, it was great. Some of the best tempura prawns I ever had. We will be going back.

Love this place - it’s just a short walk from Russel Square and Holborn. Serve authentic food and sushi. Offers not Korean/Japanese grill and hotpot too, if you go as a group it’s more affordable and I would recommend booking in advance if possible as...it gets very busy.More

Just had one of the most amazing meals out ever. Fantastic sashimi followed by bbq cooked meat at the table with incredibly tasty marinades and dipping sauces. Excellent service and lovely ambience. Can't praise this place highly enough. Wish I lived around the corner!!

My family and I were at Charco Charco Bloomsbury, London. The guy who welcomed us and explained their menu was good and friendly, although the rest of the staff had a bit more difficulty in communicating in English. The food was fresh and good. They...were quite pricey though but worth the experience.More

We had a look on tripadvisor, and decided to go for a walk and see if there was any tables. Opened the door, and waiter nr. 1 saw us and pointed at "our" table right away.. From there on, excellent waiters and delicious food. Will...be back and then try some of their upscale dishes.More

We happened to find this restaurant when walking along the street. We didn't have a booking so waited for 10-15 minutes. The staff were very friendly and the restaurant had a great vibe. After our wait for a table, the staff offered us drinks on...the house, and I recommend the sakura blossom mocktail. We ordered a platter of sushi which melted in our mouth as well as extremely crispy prawn tempura. Lastly, we ordered 3 plated of well sliced meat which we cooked ourselves on a charcoal grill. Amazing food and I would definitely eat there again.More

We discovered this restaurant by accident, noticing it while driving up Southampton Row and curious that it was so full of young Asian diners - never a bad sign. Since we hadn’t booked we had to wait but we soon discovered why this restaurant draws...such discerning clientele. The barbecued meats, which you grill at your table over a freshly delivered urn of smouldering charcoals which sit in the pit of your dining table, are fabulously tasty and tender. We also had shrimp tempura and a big plate of sushi, both of which were exquisite. We can’t wait to go again - we hadn’t even tried their hotpot.More

We booked a table in advance, and still got a bad table. Fortunately we got moved to a better table when it got available. The food was just amazing. We had the wagyu, maki and chicken. The vibe in the restaurant is very cool and...I really like the concept. Only thing to point out is that we would have liked more information about the food and how they grill it as we didn’t really understand what was happening at times…More

So glad we booked this restaurant on our visit to London. Located between Russell Square and Holborn this very busy popular restaurant didn’t disappoint. The service was great and the staff were very helpful and explained everything so well. Cooking your own food over the...hot coals in the middle of your table was a treat and the choice of ingredients very good. We certainly recommend this restaurant which was good value for moneyMore
