   Guys very not impressed with the bill! 12.5% charge for the table? What is this? Especially a table for two people??? I won’t be back here…

   Thank you for taking your time to leave us a review. It really helps us to improve our customer service. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by our part. We charge the service charge to show appreciation to our hardworking staff, but it is optional, you can refuse to pay it. We would never want you to feel obligated to pay for something you don't want to. Thank you for coming to our restaurant and we really hope you give us a second chance.

   We were celebrating our friend's birthday so I clicked "birthday" in the booking option. I didn't think much of it since in the other restaurants I've booked on here, they don't really do anything about it so I was pleasantly surprised when they came out with mochi ice cream with a candle and happy birthday written on the dish! The food was delicious and plated beautifully as usual and the servers were all really nice. We went to one of their karaoke studios after dinner and our booking finished at 11:30pm. It turns out we were the last customers in the restaurant and the servers were still very pleasant and professional!

   Very enjoyable food and lunch menu was good value with lots of options. And kindly catered to my request of no raw fish for the sushi part of the bento box. Really fresh and tasty. Dessert menu was pricy though x 2 Mochi was 7.50€. Only thing was 12.5% service charge was surprising for party of 2 - you can ask for it to be removed but that would be a little awkward of course! I would return again as food was really good.

    I think it’s the best sashimi and rolls in London. A bit unusual with no branded spirits, but sake cocktails where awesome. Also very attentive and fun staff, would highly recommend.

    I will not come back. When we went, there was a party so it was incredibly loud to the point where all guest in our room looked a bit embarrassed by the situation. We couldn’t enjoy about the noise, people screaming and sing instead of nice night evening music. Also, food is OK at best. They served scallops with French fries, which is a unusual combination to say the least. The staff was friendly and did their best to handle the situation. Sorry but it was terrible!

    Good food and sake. Staff where all lovely and the service was good throughout. Overall it was nothing too spectacular (at least the vegetarian selection), vegan salmon was weird wet and spongy. Although we where sat in the quiet Fuji room we could barely hear each other with the sound of the people upstairs singing and drunkenly shouting which was a real shame as it really took away from the experience. Would definitely return to eat here to try the hot dishes that looked delicious, but on booking I will always ask if there are groups upstairs and steer clear of those evenings.

    ManekiResponded on 28 March 2022

    Thank you for taking your time to give us a review and for sharing your thoughts with us. We are happy you enjoyed our service. Our food is from very good quality. Japanese food is plainer, to taste the seafood and ingredients original taste, more natural. But like any other service and, by nature, sometimes we are flawed.

    I had a lunch with a friend in a Friday afternoon! The food is outstanding and the vegan selection just a dream to have so many options, including dessert. Staff are very friendly, from the reception to the bill. Elisa looked after our table and we couldn’t recommend her enough, very kindly answered to all our questions about the options and food was quickly served. From the booking to the end a fantastic experience, we will definitely be going back soon.

    I have been to Maneki a few times, everything I've eaten there has always been amazing. Particularly recommend the Tempura Prawns they are a must eat, batter is always so light and crispy. Tepanyaki Duck also standout.

    Would have rated 5 star, except for their mandatory tipping policy on top of which they hand you the payment terminal with additional 15% as the default amount on top. At no point was the service charge mentioned, almost gave a 30% tip, before my wife pointed out service was already included. I left feeling that they had tried to con me, which they had. Excuses that it is mentioned on the menu don't cut it.

    ManekiResponded on 18 March 2022

    Thank you for your review. We are very sorry our service wasn't how both of us expected. The service charge is optional, you can choose not to pay it, and we mention the service charge on the bill. As for the tips, the system in our credit card machine has a step where you can choose if you want to leave tips or no tip. We would never want to make you feel obligated to pay any of them. We are sorry we made you feel that way and hope you give us another chance. We would love to serve you again.

    Food was delayed as per my usual experience here. But the worst part was they now add 12.5% service charge even at lunchtime and the waiter added an additional tip for himself without my consent which made it 25% service charge. Expensive lunch. Won't be returning again!!

    ManekiResponded on 9 March 2022

    Thank you for your review, Ruth. We are sorry your experience wasn't what both of us expected. The service charge is optional, you can choose not to pay it, we state "the guest has the right to refuse to pay the 12.5% TCfee" in the bill. It is not likely that our server tipped himself, seeing that we make sure they ask you to select the amount of tip or no tip at all. If it happened we will take very seriously. We are sorry about any inconvenience and hope to see you again.

    My first trip to Maneki was much better partially because I ordered Udon instead of Sabi. The maneki sabi yoba was rather unsatisfying and left me hungry. This compared to my last time were I got the beef udon soup which was cheaper and more delicious and filling.
