Our second time here and it was even better than the first. Fabulous restaurant-the type you’d find in most Japanese neighbourhoods. Nice, fresh, reasonably priced food. Love the wagyu beef bowl. Also loved the icy cold oolong tea- perfect for a summer’s day

Thanks! Great meal. We had all enjoyed it. One of us who's specifically sensitive to food quality (can easily get stomach upset) commented that she's very satisfied with the food. Good quality indeed.
