I agree with the criticisms of Miso as somewhat "soulless", but certainly no moreso than Wagamama, hence the general comparison. I am certainly in favour of more family-orientated establishments with their own unique atmosphere — something far more commonly found with Chinese restaurants and hopefully on the rise with Japanese cuisine's growing popularity. No name, I would warn against trying to order food at Misco. I'll just say that it's unlikely to end well.

The Miso in Croydon is always really cold, and just feels like a fast food joint in America in terms of lack of soul and flimsy décor. Although to be fair, that style is popular in Japan too (Just wander around some of the underground malls in Ōsaka and Ky�?to to see it!). I recently had my first Wagamama-ness in Croydon and I was also disappointed with the restrictive menu – eating this kind of food in Japan is completely different – you choose which noodles to go with which sauce to go with which meat/fish – every conceivable menu is available, whereas out here in the rest you get to choose from a set of dishes much more in the style of a western restaurant. And whilst it was a pleasure to get free green tea and quick service, neither was quite as good as the equivalent in Japan – even though the Japanese restaurants frequently have about a third of the staff! Hopefully this smaller family style of restaurant will start to open up in town as Japanese food gets more popular…

I should try out the Misco in Croydon. Checked out the menu, price and range looks very attractive.

Seriously, people felt the need to _defend_ that film from a mediocre rating?
