Overall - it was alright. sashimi was fresh and the sushi was somewhat authentic. However, it is deafening inside and waiters have a hard time paying attention to you. And for the price I paid, I think I can find a restaurant that is more authentic and of better quality. The sushi rice was clearly machine-made and it just didn't have the extra mile I expect from mid to high price range restaurants.

Incredible food. Truly amazing. Really appreciated that there was a play pen for kiddos too that made the evening so much easier. Aircon was too high and we all got quite cold unfortunately but that was the only thing with the noise level. Will still recommend and come back for sure.
