Compared to the other "The Kushi" izakaya on Carlton, portions were teeny tiny! And didn't taste or smell much of the charcoal BBQ. The other dishes were fine, and portion wasn't bad but the actual Kushi (skewers) were way too miniature for me. Especially the scallops...looks like they sliced 1 scallop into 3 pieces like ham...bacon asparagus roll was so thin and too much sauce...The chickens were too hard and not juicy inside. The service was very nice though! I gave 3 stars because of this and a whole bunch of free appetizers after 9!
