    Best Japanese food I've tasted - absolutely delicious. Especially recommend the Teryaki Salmon, Gyozas & the Aubergine. Celebrating a 21st birthday & Sarah was amazing, recommending delicious dishes & surprising us with a birthday desert with fresh fruit. Lovely restaurant with authentic Japanese feel - will definitely be back.

    It was ok. The sushi was not top tier. We had some octopus sashimi that was partially frozen still which was very disappointing. The wagyu did not live up to other wagyu I’ve had even to the slightest. The cocktails are amazing and the mochi was some of the best I’ve had though. Very nice ambiance. Would not come back for the food though.

    Took 20 minutes to be offered a drink, had to chase further drinks, plates not cleared away. No attempt to make us welcome or help us enjoy our meal.

    We had a lovely birthday dinner here. The service was fantastic, even on quite a busy night. The food was wonderful. It was nice to try some things I’ve never had before (surf clam), but the crispy brussel sprouts and the panko salmon maki were my favourites!

    Might be some of the best sushi I had. The fish was the freshest and melt-in-your-mouth. My favourite thing were soft shell crab rolls. The ambience and service were excellent.
