    The portions are shrinking substantially while prices creep up every few weeks. We used to love coming here and visited often. We probably will refrain from coming back because we feel somewhat ripped off now. The staff are always warm and friendly but it’s not enough to draw us back

    We reserved a table for two few weeks ago. When we arrived the restaurant, There were a few tables for two people available but we were allocated to a small table. Services are not bad but the front end staff who greets the customer look blank.

    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
