The Empire Bar - (Near Hackney, london)

Steve Weir Fantastic! Friendly helpful staff that clearly care a lot about giving guests a positive experience! A little cramped in the dining area, but still a nice ambience! Good job lads, everything tasted amazing, but particular hats-off to the chefs special rice!

Jonathan Choi Food was simple but nicely done. Generous portions that came out very quickly. Extensive vegan menu. As other reviews have pointed out, its on a busy road so can be quite noisy but that didnt detract from our enjoyment of the food. Decor is, like the food, simple but nicely done.

Sara Silva Everything we had was good, not specially incredible but really good. The shrimp was too little flesh for the amount of sauce and it also didnt come with any bread or anything so it was slightly awkward, the pate toast was the best dish, and the mushrooms and eggs were also great, I just think the texture of the potato bread doesnt much the mushroom texture that well. Great wine repertoire.

Luke Howst I always order from here as my Monday treat of the month. Never disappointed! Nigiri is the best Ive ever tasted. Then the california maki is just the Bomb!! Wish they had a number so I could ask for some extra sesame seeds!

George Serafeim Lovely place, really nice vibes, very welcoming staff! It’s great for dinner dates! Would love to see also a white base pizza! for sure will be a regular!

O S Everything was delicious, from start to finish. My first time visiting and now Marcella is my new favourite in London. Thank you very much to Katie and Felix for looking after me
