   Everything feels tired and uninspired - the selection of sushi is reminiscent of chain of supermarket sushi - more of a cocktail bar than a restaurant

   I am writing to express my disappointment with the service my guest and I received during our visit to Ukai on 16/10/24. From the moment I engaged the waiter, his demeanour was abrupt, unpleasant, and he conducted himself with an authoritative manner that made both my guest and I uncomfortable. This was particularly unfortunate as it was her first experience at Ukai, a place I have always recommended highly to others. Over the years, I have introduced many people to your establishment, always expecting and receiving a high standard of service. However, this recent visit fell far short of what I know Ukai to represent. Looking back, I realize that I could have handled the situation differently in the moment, but I did not expect such a disappointing encounter from an establishment that prides itself on excellence. I trust that this is an isolated incident, but I wanted to bring it to your attention as this is not the standard of service I associate with Ukai. I would appreciate any feedback on how this can be addressed moving forward, and I hope for a more positive experience on future visits.

   Had no prior expectations of this restaurant but we all really enjoyed the meal. The restaurant was quiet - it was a very wet Tuesday lunchtime. The service was really excellent, the food arrived promptly and the portion size was perfect. Highly recommended, thank you!

   Grilled seabass was nicely done, we had the ukai deluxe platter, the sashimi was very fresh. Great service. Sunday afternoon we enjoyed the live music 😍

    Really lovely food, great price point, too. Lots of choice of drinks and food. The gentleman waiter we had was attentive although the host didn’t offer an overly warm and friendly welcome. Saturday afternoon they have a very loud jazz band which I was not expecting and would likely not have booked had I known. The setting is really lovely though, would have been perfect if the music was even slightly quieter ( could hear them well enough without speakers on full)
