"Head through the arch of Enfield Chambers and you'll be transported to this uber-cool setting. The Japanese cooking revolves around small plates and skewers, cooked over a charcoal grill with consummate skill. Bright, authentic and generous, each dish is a joy to eat and sensibly priced too. If you're coming for lunch, get here early as they don't take bookings and the lunchtime offer is phenomenally good value. Efficient service, a dynamic atmosphere and a courtyard terrace all add to the already considerable appeal." - Michelin Inspector

The best meal I’ve ever had out. The food was incredible and was the prefect place to celebrate Valentine’s Day early. I would definitely come back. We rated each dish an easy 9/10 or 10/10 each which is a first. The cocktails were interesting and very strong! Tried sake for the first time here too

This was a seriously tasty lunch. Service was friendly and efficient. Prawn toast was so good - I could have eaten five of them. Pickles delicate, fresh, cleansing and perky. Inhaled the sando. It was divine. Beef Skewers were deep and Smokey. Rice with curry sauce like a katsu with none of the meat. My only regret was too full to try dessert. Top notch.

Had an amazing experience last night at Kushi-ya. The food was exceptional. Ben the general manager and our server throughout was knowledgeable and friendly. It was our first time (and not last) so we decided to let Ben choose for us and OMG he did not disappoint with his choices. Reasonably priced for the quality of the food, execution and service. Thank you all involved for a wonderful experience

Had the lunch set, beef skewers were tender and juicy. Black garlic mustard sauce elevated the charcoal flavour from the yakitori. Prawn toast was excellent bite-sized side dish that contrasted with the crunch. Prawn sando was on the salty side, but shokupan was really good. Finally, the chocolate and Kinako sundae was our favourite! If you are someone who likes soy bean and Nutella taste, would highly recommend! Very unique and delicious dessert!

We went to Kushi-ya on Saturday for lunch. We arrived 10 mins before opening time to ensure first seating. We were 2nd in line. By the time it opened, the queue is about 10 parties deep. The menu seemed to have refreshed since we last been. We chose the super value lunch meal deal and a pork shoulder side dish. Very tasty !

Pretty incredible to be honest. Beef skewers were incredible, perfectly cooked, prawn katsu sando was off the chart, Brussels sprout skewers were super tasty too. Black sesame parfait was amazing too. Cocktails were also super good. We go to Japan once a year and apart from the fact that one cup sake (which is gross) is £8 here (lol) everything was absolutely spot on.

Super exiting Japanese small plates. We ate everything on the menu and doubled up on all the skewers. Literally everything that we tasted was delicious and surprised us. The service was warm and efficient, the staff knowledgeable and all friendly. Interesting drinks menu.

The food is UNREAL, some of the best Japanese food I’ve ever had. Restaurant is gorgeous, modern, clean. Every member of the team but in particular my waitress (blonde lady, cool hair clips). Prawn Toast was exceptional and loved the Chilli Cheese Mocchi, all stunning mixed with the rice and curry sauce. 1000% recommend the lunch offer, such good value for a brilliant meal that will totally fill you up. Don’t snooze on this venue if you’re in Nottingham!
