Customer Review Summary

Sharing platters draw the most praise, with diners repeatedly describing generous spreads of sushi, fish, and vegetarian options ordered for birthdays and celebrations, plus mentions of gyosa and lamb chops as standout starters. Several reviewers single out one staff member by role, a host who arranged birthday surprises like a sake gift and dry-ice presentation, and many describe meeting the owner personally, calling the welcome friendly and the atmosphere special. A few note reasonable prices and no service charge. Against this, one long-standing customer offers a sharply different account, describing years of visits before a recent decline: the same menu and polite service but an atmosphere they call subdued and transactional rather than warm, adding the restaurant felt noticeably darker and that they would not return. Another visitor mentions the teppanyaki grill was out of action, limiting some dishes that night, though they called the evening still enjoyable overall.

    “There are some reviews that are easy to write. This isn't one of them. I've been coming to Ciscoe's for years. Birthdays, celebrations, anniversaries, dates, family meals, spontaneous evenings out - it became woven into the fabric of so many happy memories. It wasn't just somewhere that served sushi; it was somewhere that genuinely felt special. Walking through the door was like being welcomed by old friends. There was warmth, energy, laughter and a sense that everyone working there actually wanted you to have a wonderful evening. On the surface, very little has changed. The décor is largely the same. The service remains polite and professional. The food is still beautifully presented. And yet... somehow, everything has changed. The sparkle has gone. It's difficult to put into words because nothing obvious is wrong. Instead, it's the atmosphere. What was once vibrant now feels subdued. What once felt full of personality now feels strangely transactional. It no longer feels like a restaurant built around hospitality; it feels like one built around moving customers through the door. The smiles seem rehearsed rather than genuine, and the whole place feels noticeably darker—both literally and figuratively. The food is still good, but good food alone was never what made Ciscoe's exceptional. It was the experience. That indefinable magic that made you leave already looking forward to your next visit. That magic has disappeared. Completely. Perhaps new visitors won't notice because they never experienced what Ciscoe's once was. But for those of us who did, the contrast is heartbreaking. This isn't simply a restaurant that's slipped a little; it feels like an entirely different place. I genuinely hope it finds its way back one day, because it deserves to. Or rather, it deserves to become worthy once again of the reputation it spent years earning. For me, though, that chapter has closed. I'd rather remember Ciscoe's as the place where so many wonderful memories were made than continue visiting this new incarnation, which feels so far removed from everything that made it one of my favourite restaurants. It gives me no pleasure to say that I won't be returning.”

    “Came to celebrate finishing our final university unit and had such an amazing experience at Ciscos. We got the sharing board platter which was £40 per person and it was absolutely worth it! Great fish options, loads of lovely veggie choices too, and everything tasted incredible. The service was amazing from start to finish and the atmosphere made it feel really special. Then later that night we randomly ended up meeting the owner in a bar and he was so lovely as well, which honestly just topped the whole experience off. Great food, great service, great people… would definitely recommend!”

    “As a sushi novice, I was unsure if I’d find much I liked on the menu but it was my son’s birthday choice. I was stunned by how delicious and varied the sushi was and the non-sushi large plate options were delicious. I’d assumed all sushi was like the stuff you get in the supermarket meal deal, how wrong i was! Staff were attentive without being over bearing, the decor was beautiful and we haven’t stopped talking about the food since we left! We will definitely be back.”
