Great cocktails and great service. They had cocktail deals 2 for 18 and 3 for 27 when we went and the server was great fun. Would highly recommend as the cocktails were also excellent! I would just go for the japanese spin on well known cocktails. Highly recommend!
One of the best Japanese places I have found. Incredible sushi and fried chicken. Run by very friendly lady who has some great staff. Perfect outside on a summer evening.
First visit to this restaurant and we were not disappointed! Fantastic service and delicious food - with plenty of vegan options. So happy to have discovered this lovely Japanese restaurant and can't wait to go back.
10/10 loved this Japanese family run place — if you love cats, sushi and cat puns this is your place The love of cats is a part of the fiber of Necco and its executed in such a pawferct way, from the cutlery to the cartoons in the menu The food was excellent from soup to mains to mochis, and the teas were hot and flavorful The glazed eggplant and the sushi salmon lover were our highlights and we can’t wait to become regular cats at Necco My only concern is that it was a bit chilly inside so we all kept our coats on, due to our lack of fur The food was also delivered a bit haphazardly as we were a larger group but the quality made up for it
This lovely and cute restaurant was amazing from the cute menu designs, the illustrations and the food. Outstanding service by the staff there as they’re all really lovely. You cannot go wrong with a cat-themed restaurant. We opted for the set menu which was 10.80. So rare to find cheap eats at restaurants these days. Portion sizes for the main and side were reasonable and rice portion was too. The beef and seaweed were lovely. I ordered a doriyaki on top of the set menu which was good and soft. Not too sweet. A trip to this adorable restaurant again is much needed.
Amazing cat-themed Japanese restaurant! Great environment and staff was very pleasant! The food was very tasty! Great value for money! We tried a few cocktails with Japanese incredients and there is happy hour for sale 5-7pm! Will definitely return!
The lunch menu was utterly delicious and fantastic value for money! The karaage chicken was particularly delicious - I had it alongside spicy salmon tartare, rice, and a drink all for 13 including service!
Cute cosy Japanese cafe with inside and outside seating. The service is absolutely top notch and cannot be faulted definitely thumbs up. I like the food, it tastes great, and they have great healthy, vegetarian and gluten free options too. The cute cat deco is an added bonus. They sell cakes online as well, but I have never tried as you need to order in advance and I keep forgetting to.
