Great Sake options, for any taste,sold in 50ml and also in 360ml jars,definitely try sake in this restaurant. I have got to say that all the plates are very small and quite high in price for the size that you get, but the food was in a very high quality and service was great,therefore I believe its forgivable. Plenty of seafood options as ceviches and sushi, my favourite was Yellowtail tiradito. For desert options we decided to go for a plant based chocolate desert which was very interesting, not overly sweet which is exactly what we wanted. Thanks to both of the friendly waitresses who looked after us, the lady with pink hair and the other lady who's name we unfortunately did not get (fabulous service)

Had the bottomless Saturday Brunch. The food and drinks available on the brunch menu were a nice variety, most dietary requirements are catered to. My only negative feedback is that they shouldn't bring all your food courses at once, as your hot dishes get cold. However, the food was delectable and the drinks are FLOWING. You can mix and match between specialist cocktails, Sake, Prosecco or soft drinks. Staff were absolutely top notch and I highly recommend this Brunch. They also have an accessible toilet.

Good place for an after work team get together. Also good for a couple on weekends. Good music and vibe Staff were amazing, very helpful. Cocktails are lovely too especially the tropical one. Could do with a bit more variety though. Food is tasty and 5* for the roasted pepper sushi šŸ£ 4* as the security shouldnā€™t ask if people have a booking. There could be a bigger cocktail selection and thereā€™s room for improvement.

We had a fantastic meal here for a date night, a good buzzing atmosphere and good service. The food was delicious. Ordered 2 lots of the miso aubergine as it was so tasty. Also loved the soft shell crab, short rib and the belly pork. Will definitely return here.

Had the brunch set menu here, and the dishes were really good. The chicken gyoza were was delicious, the brocoli and cauliflower were very nice that you forget they are vegetables šŸ˜‹ the bao was ok, that was my least favourite and the sushi was nice, but I would preferred them all with fish than having two all veg ones. The noodles were also not that great. It felt like it was missing something. The drinks were nice, I had the summer cup which felt a tab bit watered down and the garibaldi, which I really liked, but if you're not a fan of grapefruit I'd stat away from that. The prosseco was nice, too. All in all, it's a good bottomless brunch for the price. It's worth noting that everyone in the group has to order at the same time, so if anyone is running late and you're hungry you might want to get their order so you can order ahead for them.

This is a great venue and the food is excellent. Its not cheap, but you pay for the efficient friendly service, and surroundings. I can find no fault with the food. We had a varied choice of soup, Sushi salad and tempura. Highly recommended.

Monday evening dinner - town is dead and wanted to support businesses on a quiet day. Welcomed immediately by Jordan who was so friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately the grill chef was poorly so they offered a glass of fizz on the house to apologize for a reduced menu. We were almost relieved because if any more dishes were on the menu, we'd have to eat them all. We ordered two raw fish dishes which were delicious and a fantastic palate cleanser almost. The cauliflower is banging I could eat that all day. We got the fries cos why not, but seemed a bit out of place on the menu. Wasn't needed. However!!! Fried chicken was a great recommendation from our waitress Letty who was also a legend, great service and sense of humour. Cocktails were on happy hour (Ā£7) and were very good. Sushi was delicious and the decor was lovely. We didn't feel rushed and everything felt perfect. Comparing the reviews from a year ago to now, it seems they have a really great team together and I actually really am looking forward to returningā¤ļø

Came here for my anniversary and I must say this place is real busy even on week days. Could not get proper table seating. Ended up seating on a higher table seating. Food wise, most of them were tasty of all the dishes ordered. The only want that disappointed us was the cheesecake because it was salty and lack of sweetness in it. The selection of ice cream was something : green tea and miso caramel are definitely the one going for. Overall it is a nice place to be for some good food in a nice ambience. Do book in advance!

Very good vibe. Nice minimal decor and just a good setting. The food was really good and I would recommend the brisket bao bun. The only downer I would say is that Iā€™m not 100% sure if the food was value for money. Definitely try and arrive between 5-7 and to get the discount off the cocktails. Iā€™ll be honest theyā€™re a bit hit and miss so another reason to not give 5* but definitely worth trying.

Perfect for a group. Spacious interiors and the menu is sharing tapas style. They have a cocktail hour. I got the mocktail and the fruit leather was a nice touch. The food was quite good with some of the dishes being exceptional and others being quite meh. The bao buns were superb. Fluffy and the fillings flavorful. Our favorites were the yellow tail tuna in ponzu, eggplant miso and the cauliflower. The sushi was quite bland in comparison and the yaki soba was not up to par. We didn't even finish it. It was quite. Ketchup-y in flavor and a real miss for us. The cheesecake was a delightful way to finish the mean. On the whole a solid night out!

I am traveling round the world. And looking for new places. And I think I found one in London . I love this restaurant and the atmosphere. The dishes and our dinner was excellent. Absolutely amazing. I love to come back. PS Yes as always I am starting in the toilet. I think itā€™s an important part to look behind the scene. Well everything was there, soap papers and no disturbing smell. Well but it could be slightly a bit cleaner . And the space downstairs to the toilets could be more friendly.

Cool vibes and the food has massive potential but there could be improvements. The pork bao was cooked well but lacked a zing. The salmon tataki was a bit bland unfortunately, no matter how much I dipped it in the sauce it was a bit disappointing. The miso glazed aubergine was delicious but the texture was wrong because the aubergine was burnt. I did like the pork belly skewers, they were smokey and possibly cooked sous vide before being grilled. The chicken karaage was quite nice, crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside, just as it should be. The portions are also extremely tiny and yes, I know it's supposed to be an izakaya. Overall, I expected more. It's a nice place with nice food but it's not going into my list of Top London Eats. I wouldn't mind going again and trying it on another night.

Wow, loved Apothocary East. My friend and I were greeted by a super friendly host and seated promptly. Iman looked after our order and was outstanding when it came to my food allergies. She spoke with the chefs who identified what I could and couldn't have, and there were heaps of choices. So anyone who has FODMAP restrictions this restaurant was wonderful. A huge thank you to the chefs who prepared the most divine food. Iman and Josh for the great chats and service. Wonderful vibe, great music but not too loud and the most amazing cauliflower I've ever had (and I'm not a huge fan of cauliflower) . Can't wait to visit again. Thank you.

The staff is very friendly and the coctails are nice. The sushi wasn't the best though.

Food and drinks where amazing. Best sushi I've had. If your looking for qaulity over quantity this place has the perfect balance. 100% going again as the drinks where just as sublime as the food.
