    Food was really good. Just the restaurant itself felt cold and seats were uncomfortable. Elevating the restaurant feel will elevate the experience.

    We had an incredible meal at How's Your Oni? The onigiri was delicious, the staff were so friendly and helpful and it was great to try some authentic Japanese street food!

    It was great, I made a note that it was my fiance’s birthday. They made her feel very special on her special day. The waitress was also super friendly and helpful with ordering the food.

    Been here a few times. Love the food! It is a little on the pricer side but still worth coming back for. Service is often pretty slow and food usually takes a long time. (don't go if you're in a hurry). Ambience was poor last night as there was only 1 other table so it was extremely quiet. But the food was good and company great, so no complaints. Will go again for sure.
