Outstanding service! Its alway tricky to find a professional and reliable contractor. We were very fortunate to discover coopson technologies. We required a full 'Electrical Installation Condition Report' for a property purchase and chose coopson, after speaking with 3 contractors in the area, as we were so impressed with how helpful Lewis was when speaking on the phone. He was able to accommodate the day we needed and his communication was excellent throughout. The test was carried out and the report followed promptly. I asked to speak with Lewis over the phone to go over a couple of highlighted areas and, again, he was very helpful. A couple of minor issues required further works which he was happy to discuss and book in at a time that suited us after completion of the purchase. 5* service and will definitely be using Coopson for future works! Thanks

I cannot praise Lewis highly enough for his quick and helpful response. He walked me through fault finding over the phone and I would highly recommend Coopson technologies to anyone.

I am a first time buyer and had a survey done on the house I am hoping to buy which required me to get someone to look at the electrics. Lewis at Coopson Technologies could not have been more friendly and helpful. I was booked in within the week to have an electrical EICR report. I was talked through everything on the report. Everything was explained and nothing was too much trouble. As a first time buyer I was nervous and asked a lot of questions! I am really happy I booked this company and when I get the house (fingers crossed) I will be booking Lewis for the jobs listed, thanks again. A happy customer!

(Edit 30 June 24) Still as good as it was last year when first reviewed. The evening bottomless sushi is still great value, now at £27.95 We decided to let the chef choose a selection of dishes for us but specified to the waitress for no vegetarian only sushi and for plenty of sashimi. The resulting platter was exceptional. (See photo). Great food, great value and good service (the restaurant was busy after sudden rain) We'd go to Kazouku once or twice a month if we lived locally, it's a firm favourite. (July 23) This sushi restaurant is amazing! What a great recent addition to both Folkestone and to Kent. There is a 'bottomless' sushi menu which offers outstanding value. Currently £20 at lunchtime and £25 in the evening. You order your sushi using a tick-sheet which offers a highly varied selection of traditional and modern Japanese dishes. It includes sashimi, which is rare on such unlimited menus. For the very hungry diners, the tick-sheet is returned for a subsequent order. Other diners have criticised the service, but it was quite acceptable on the lunchtime we visited. The food is absolutely delicious, and that's from a regular sushi diner. Food is extremely well presented (see photos of the same platter from 2 views). We will most definitely return in the near future.

Been here multiple times and always lose against the bottomless sushi, will be back for the 5th time soon! Will try to beat my record of 3. Jokes aside hot food is really getting there in taste and consistency whereas the sushi is always great. They give a generous amount of sauce with the sushi, which many love but personally ask for less sauce so I can taste more of the fresh fish. Service is great but sometimes I will flag waiters down/raise my sheet if Im not noticed for a while. Always happy will come again :) Edit : Went recently and they now seem to have the experience, a lot more smooth and streamlined. Food arrived faster and service has improved.

Some of the most delicious South East Asian food my partner and I have had, we were on cloud 9. Reasonable pricing especially for the quality of food and service. I had the chicken sushi (definitely recommend) with the chicken karaage in sauce (must try) and my partner had one of the salmon rolls which was also super tasty.

This was my 2nd time visit to Kazoku. My 1st experience; ambience, hospitality, price, food was luscious. I mostly enjoyed Katsu curry chicken rice. I ordered the same on my 2nd visit but it was not as good as my 1st time. The portion size was minimised, chicken was not amazingly good. The sushi plater was good as expected. The total bill was £83 for a 40 pieces sushi plater, shrimp tempura, one pork ramen, katsu curry chicken rice and some drinks which I think was reasonable. Overall my experience was good. Next time I want to try their fried noodles 🤤

Nice place overall. Birria sauce was very lacking. High prices but tacos in particular didn't really justify their price. Decent enough to stop in too. Given 4 stars as a few tweaks would make a big difference.

Had breakfast here this morning, it was absolutely delicious! Great menu with a good variety of choices at excellent value. Our food came quickly, piping hot and good sized portions. The food was also of a good quality and cooked to perfection, especially the eggs. The stand out part though was the excellent staff giving a fantastic warm friendly welcome, prompt table service (despite being really busy) and going above and beyond to interact with all customers. As a pub & restaurant landlord & landlady, from our point of view, this place has the perfect balance of everything which has clearly made it THE place to go for breakfast in Folkestone. We will definitely be back! 😁

Very nice and clean cafe with friendly staff. Stopped here for breakfast after camping just up the road. Will definitely go back again if we’re in the area. Thank you 🙏

Nice little cafe offering an assortment of food and hot/cold drinks too. The price is about average and the food was hot and didn’t take to long to be served once ordered. Yes it’s wheelchair accessible but the parking is hit and miss as it’s on the corner of a main road and side street. The staff were welcoming which is a bonus but it’s only downside I’d say it’s quite small inside.

1st time eating here, and I should have read the review from the owner, what a plonker I am walking up and down the road a few times until I phoned up felt a fool , inside the scuba the man said and down stairs err . Anyway the starters were to die for , the home cooked Sunday roast beef dinner was probably one of the best I've eaten in a very long time the restaurant was full and I am one of those with very good hearing and all I could hear was how amazing the food was from every table, the chef definitely knows how to cook and his presentation of his food on the plate made you just want to eat the whole lot, I highly recommend eating here and I will definitely be eating during the week as well as Sundays

Really delicious food - the produce sings here and you can taste the quality. The menu says small plates but they are very generous, we had six dishes between two and couldn't finish! Stand out dishes were the venison, skate wing and scallops. Very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend.

We originally chose this pub, because we were looking for a dog friendly eaterie in the centre of Folkestone. We were pleasantly surprised by the stylish interior, with lots of gleaming copper, and the menu choices, which combine old favourites with unusual, like curried cauliflower tacos. The service was friendly and efficient. It all made for a very enjoyable lunch.

One of the best restaurants I ever had in the uk. The chef team have extreme well control on fire power. Excellent seasoning. And cozy vibe. Dog friendly. I am a chef as well, so it is a honest and genuine review.

UNBELIEVABLE. We visited this evening for dinner and I couldn't hold back on leaving a review! Neil and the team in the kitchen satisfied taste buds that I didn't know existed - we tried multiple dishes and were not disappointed by a single bite. We ventured out of our usual comfort foods (bar my steak) and have left wanting more. We are definitely going to returning as soon as possible to try and complete the menu!

I was staying in a nearby hotel and I popped in for a couple of pints. This place has a nice beer garden and I like the copper pumps behind the bar. The barman was friendly and I managed to try a couple of pints of Duddas Tun cider. Which I'd not seen before. I would recommend the Elderflower one. If you should ever happen to see this Paul, great recommendation.

Great vibe from the decor and layout throughout into the beer garden - a feeling of quality and attention to detail. I appreciated the range of drinks - local beers and ciders sourced locally + wide selection of wines. I initially called in for a drink in the evening, and decided to stay for dinner ordering the ribeye steak, which was tasty. I returned the next morning to sample the brunch, choosing the smashed avocado with smoky bacon on sourdough, and a cappuccino. I found the service relaxed and welcoming from bar staff and table servers, who were also very attentive.

Have been several times now for breakfast. Food was delicious and well presented. So far, there isn't anything on the menu I wouldn't recommend. Staff has always been nice and friendly. The time to wait for food was less than what I expected, granted, I missed the peak times. The restaurant itself is clean and has a nice style that sets it apart from the surrounding area. Would highly recommend.

A lovely discovery day 1 but day 2 not so good. I had breakfast and the food was cooked beautifully and with quality ingredients. Further, the kitchen amended the standard menu listing to what I wanted. Comfortable surrounds . Pleasant staff with largely good and speedy service. Given the table call buttons and waiting on service the 'welcome desk' is somewhat formal and unnecessary . Not the cheapest but I think with the positive experience largely appropriate ... It means it's a now and again treat rather than more regular. I will definitely be returning here. I did return the next day as it happened given I was so pleased. Alas the same breakfast was one poached egg and one tomato less than the day before. The manager did bring a second egg but was very reluctant and was abrasive rather than apologetic, suggesting I'd ordered extra the day before . Hopefully a one off blip as the food was again good and not a weights and measures issue. He then tried to charge me for the 2nd egg but finally gave in to just charging 30 p more for a one tomato less meal than yesterday ! I think they need to get their act together here as they turned a delighted returning customer into one that would consider twice about going a further time. My initial five stars across the board have been revised down.
