I made a reservation for 2 pax around 40 minutes before because it's usually rather full for dinner. The atmosphere is nice, good lighting if you love taking pictures of your food. Friendly and helpful staff, but the wait is a bit long …

Absolutely impressed with my experience at Rakuzen Publika. The food quality is consistently excellent with fresh ingredients, well-balanced flavours and generous portions. Every dish tasted like it was prepared with care. …

Nice place and good food, but the service was extremely disappointing. Plates were taken away even though we hadn’t finished eating. Having to request wasabi and soy sauce is ridiculous, especially for a relatively expensive Japanese restaurant where these should be standard. We also got a private room, but the server didn’t bother to close the door at all, which defeated the purpose of having a private space. On top of that, the server placed dishes at the edge of the table and walked away without a word, which came across as quite rude.
