    This edition of Cheyne's magical gastronomy is as fabulous as ever -- his food never fails to astonish and delight. All our dishes were delectable -- but the Tempura prawns, Mumbai beef and peanut butter ice cream were outstanding. Value is also excellent and service spot-on. Just two small fussy niggles (as a former Cheyne's regular!): please bring back beer on tap (make a deal with your neighbours!!) and would really love to be able to have a good coffee. Still among the very best dining experiences in town: we'll be back!

    HIRO Izakaya responded on Mon 31 Mar 25:
    Dear Anahid Thank you so much for your generous and thoughtful review. We’re truly delighted that you continue to enjoy Cheyne’s culinary creations—your words mean the world to us. It’s always our aim to delight, and we’re thrilled that the tempura prawns, Mumbai beef, and peanut butter ice cream made an impression. We also really appreciate your kind mention of the value and service—it’s something we work hard to uphold. And of course, thank you for your gentle suggestions. As a former regular, your feedback is especially meaningful, and we’ll certainly take your notes on the beer on tap and coffee offerings into consideration as we continue to evolve. It’s an honour to be counted among your favourite dining experiences in town. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for more moments around the table. Danielle

    Horrendously overpriced deep fried sauce covered nonsense.

    HIRO Izakaya responded on Mon 31 Mar 25:
    Dear Franz Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. That said, we do feel it’s important to address the tone and language of your review. Referring to our food as “nonsense” is not only dismissive of the care and quality we put into every dish, but also disrespectful to the chefs and team who work with intention and pride each day. We are always open to constructive criticism, and we take guest feedback seriously as part of our commitment to excellence. However, we believe that respectful dialogue is essential—both for honest growth and for a community built on mutual respect. We remain committed to offering thoughtfully prepared dishes using high-quality ingredients, and we regret that this wasn’t reflected in your visit. Should you wish to discuss your experience further in a more constructive way, we would welcome the opportunity. You can contact us 0790674919 Please be aware how powerful words are , the destruction and ripple effect it has. Danielle

    We first ate here just after Hiro opened and it felt fresh, interesting and different. Sadly the same could not be said last night. The flavours were cloying, overbearing and predictable. Too many dishes are deep fried and even the duck fat chips were slightly overcooked and too hard. Our table was in a back room and felt like an annexe to the kitchen with staff constantly grouping past. We sat down at 7:30 and by 9:30 the restaurant was cleared and packed up and we had been forgotten. When we reminded staff that we’d ordered dessert, they remembered us but in the end we waited for 20 minutes for it, where all the plates beforehand had been delivered rather too quickly and in no particular order. It felt rushed and disorganised, followed by a lengthy wait. Sadly a disappointing experience that we had all been keenly anticipating.

    Dear Sheila Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your recent experience did not meet your expectations, especially after a visit that had once left a positive impression. That said, we also feel it’s important to address the tone and manner in which this review was shared. We welcome constructive criticism—when delivered with fairness and respect, it helps us grow and improve. However, the language and sweeping negativity in this review feel unnecessarily harsh and, quite frankly, destructive. Reviews like this carry real impact, not just for a business, but for the people behind it—those who work hard every day to create something meaningful and thoughtful for our guests. If there were issues on the evening, we truly wish they had been raised with us directly, either at the time or privately afterward. We would have welcomed the opportunity to engage in an open, respectful conversation and do what we could to make it right. We remain committed to the highest standards in both food and hospitality, and we will continue to refine every part of the experience we offer. Danielle
