Blacow - Southend

The burger we got was well done instead of the requested rare. However, the sushi steak roll was delicious. Good place for a light lunch.

Korean pulled pork burger was delicious, highly recommend it. Summer roll sushi is also great option if you're looking for sushi. Tequila mockingbird Cocktail is a MUST!!! 10/10

The food is fantastic ! I had the Bento with a burger and a sushi roll. It was the best of both worlds.

Great burgers avail for those who don't want sushi and combo options if you can't decide. It was not crazy expensive, but not cheap either. Only 1 gluten-free option.

It’s hard to say whether the food was good because we didn’t even get that far before we left. We decided to eat lunch here knowing that they open at 11:00. We walked in at 11:02 and noticed the lights were still off and the chairs were still on the table. Despite the website and door saying they opened at 11:00, we decided to step out and give them a few more minutes. Once we could see in the window that the chairs were off table at 11:08, we decided to go back in. Once we walked in, we were noticed by several employees, however, none of them addressed us. Finally, a gentleman that looked like he could be a manager walked over looking half asleep. I said “Hey, are you guys open?” To which he responded with “barely”, which was super unprofessional to me. I offered to go somewhere different but he said we were fine and proceeded to seat us. After we were seated, nobody ever came to take our drink order. We were still willing to give it a try despite the unpleasant start but finally decided to leave after sitting there for 5 min without being acknowledged. I know 5 min doesn’t seem long but we were the only ones in there. They were still obviously prepping the kitchen. If a restaurant claims to be open at 11:00, in my opinion, that means ready to seat and serve. We finally decided to get up and try somewhere different. I did give two stars bc the menu looked really good but I don’t guess I’ll ever find out.

Sadly, we had a bad experience here.We had a reservation. When we walked in, the host sort of nodded at us, looked right at us, and then walked away. This happened a couple of times! We stood in the doorway and waited while the host zoomed around, I guess prepping tables—but not really communicating anything to us! It was super confusing.When we were finally seated, I told our server that I had Celiac’s disease. I wanted to have some sushi, and I ordered a spicy tuna roll and a couple of other things. The server didn’t say anything about my order, but she did bring some gluten-free soy sauce.I had already begun on my sushi when I looked inside the maki roll and found crunchy bits of tempura inside the spicy tuna mix. This has not been the case at other sushi restaurants. I pointed it out to the server, told her I had just ingested gluten, which I have a severe intolerance to, and she admitted that all of the spicy mixes have gluten in them. That would have been nice to know and I would not have gotten sick from it.After that, another, different server began to check in with us. She was actually really fantastic and very communicative.I believe that I then ordered a different maki roll to replace the one I couldn’t eat. The sushi I did have after that was fine and tasted very good.My partner had the Korean pulled pork burger. He said it was good—but it was also spicy… The water glasses were very small and nobody refilled our water even once, sadly.My partner ordered a Moscow mule, which is his go-to drink whenever we go out. He said it was watery and he did not taste any alcohol at all. 🙁The restaurant was busy with several big parties. The waitstaff seemed overwhelmed. I think it would have been a very different experience for us if the host had been communicative at all, and if the original server had been looking out for food intolerances. Our last server was excellent but couldn’t turn the whole thing around. 😕
