Delicious sushi, but tricky parking

I have experience of challenges around: hearing and moving around.
Overall Rating
Good
Visited Harajuku Kitchen after hearing great things from a family member and being a big fan of sushi myself. The food didn’t disappoint, especially the salmon special, which was a fresh, creative take that I really enjoyed. However, my parents felt the portions were a bit small for the price and were left wanting more - though that might just be down to our appetite!
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
Access inside the restaurant is good. The entrance is level and the space is well-lit. The layout inside was spacious and manageable for my powerchair with no steps to navigate. It was fairly quiet so quite a nice, chill place to have lunch.
Parking & Transport
Poor
Parking and transport were a bit of a challenge. We unloaded my powerchair on the cobbled pavement to the left of the restaurant, which wasn’t ideal. Later, when we tried to load from the smoother area directly in front of the venue, a traffic warden appeared and told us not to stop there - this happened while I was halfway up the ramp, which seemed quite unnecessary and stressful. There isn’t dedicated parking nearby and street access isn’t the smoothest, so worth factoring in if you’re arriving by car.
Accessible Toilets
0I didn’t use the accessible loo on this visit, so can’t speak to what it’s like. That said, I did notice that the route to the toilets is level, so that’s promising for future visits.
Staff
Good
Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Although we didn’t have a lot of direct interaction, they gave us solid menu recommendations and made us feel welcome.
