Really shocked at some of the reviews! 😱 This place is outstanding! We had our 4th visit of the year last night for sushi and sax night (first time was NYE 2022; we don't have time to get out much or else we would be here more) the food is out of this world and the online presence this place perceives for itself doesn't even scratch the surface of how incredible this restaurant is. Every time we have visited, our food has been divinely fresh, I have had the short rib in the past which just falls apart and melts in your mouth, my partner has had a pork dish before which he says the same about. My dad has had prawns and noodles which he devoured, and the oxtail gyoza are out of this world, tasty, fresh, and cooked to perfection! .... but it is all about the sushi for me! Completely fresh, full of flavours and presented beautifully. The service is impeccable, the cocktail menu has changed since our first visit where my partner discovered one of the most amazing whisky sours, but every time we visit the staff are more than happy to make him one regardless of it being on the menu or not. The little blonde lady who does the marketing is very friendly, as are all the floor servers, and I can openly say they have never expected a tip from us and when we do tip (every time) they are over the moon with gratitude. The atmosphere is simply beautiful, very authentic and you are never bombarded with servers checking on you, they time it perfectly to drop by the tables to see if food is good and to make sure we are enjoying our visit. I am also very pleased to hear they are now offering takeaway and this will definitely be of use to us with our busy lifestyle! I just hope that team lokkys realise the positive impact they are having for the majority of their customers and that their efforts don't go unnoticed! Keep up the good work!...
Read moreMy husband and I dined here 8th June, and booked about 2 weeks prior. That was very easy to do online! When arriving we had a choice of tables which was quite nice. The atmosphere was lovely. It was filled with couples, families and even a little dog had a visit! With it being attached to a hotel it does get very busy, but we really enjoyed this vibe and atmosphere. The menu is small with something for everyone in my opinion. The only reason I have given one less star for the food is because the Gyozas were nothing overly special (they are one of my go to dishes generally and I make my own sometimes, so I expected something quite outstanding, but they were pretty generic) Other than that, the summer rolls were gorgeous (the option of meat in them would have been quite nice) and the peanut dipping sauce was gorgeous. The mains in the photos were super delicious. The umami flavours were so poignant they really did hit the spot. Only downfall of my main (the short rib) I'd say there were too many noodles! But that's just me being picky possibly! Staff were great. We loved the small touches like the fact that when served the dishes, staff wore black cotton gloves. Just gave it that boujee edge. We will certainly be back with our children next time in tow. Thankyou for a...
Read moreI was lucky enough to win afternoon tea for 2 on Facebook from Lokky’s! We eat here frequently but had yet to try their Asian afternoon tea. Lokky’s got me booked in the next weekend and I messaged if it would be possible to have a vegan one as I’m a Veggie and my breastfed baby has a cows milk allergy. They said it should be fine the only tricky part would be dessert as they all contain milk and I said I was happy with just savoury options. My partner, myself and our baby arrived for our afternoon tea. The savoury options were so so good! If I could order those items as a main dish I would deffo do so any day of the week! The waiter brought it over and explained all the vegan items to me and the normal ones for my partner and checked with us that all was okay. The desserts then came out and I was blown away by the effort the chef had put in to make dairy free desserts for me. Again, he explained which were dairy free and what each dessert was as I had a variety of desserts, my favourite being the rice pudding but they were all really tasty. Thank you so much Lokky’s for me winning the giveaway but also for the great attention to detail and all the effort put in to accommodate my dairy free diet and making sure I still was able to have the perfect Asian afternoon tea...
