    Service was unfortunately not great. It took ages to be offered drinks, which when we ordered, I ordered food for my two kids, the tuna mayo oni. Eventually we got our drinks and ordered food too for the adults. The adults food came first, and we were done by the time the kids food, which was ordered first, came! In fact we were midway through the meal when the waitress came and asked us if we wanted the jalapeno's (which weren't listed as ingredients) removed from the tuna mayo uni as they see it's for kids (which I did specify when ordering). It's super frustrating as serving kids first is a basic, which I tried to assist with by placing the order early. My poor kids had to watch us eat (read "eat my food") because obviously they were also hungry! This just was disappointing as the quality of the food was amazing and we loved the ambiance, it's cosy and welcoming.

    An absolutely fantastic experience. Went for my wife's birthday, not only was the staff super friendly and interacted in a very relaxed manner. A very social yet refined mood, and the staff were really happy to be a part of banter. 10/10, coming back real soon!

    We really enjoyed our meal at Hows your oni. We went with a variety of small plates to share instead of any main courses. I think next time I'd love to try a main dish like a vegetable Udon noodle. It can be on the pricier end of the spectrum if you order 3-4 small plates/bites per person, but the taste makes up for it. I had the jackfruit onigiri which was fantastic, but wouldn't necessary recommend the tokoyaki (savoury balls made with a flour batter filled with your choice of squid, prawns or mushrooms). Although, on Tuesdays they have tokoyaki Tuesday, where you get 6 balls instead of 4, which is quite a deal.

    The service was fantastic! We ordered the udon which was lukewarm when it arrived. However, the server didn't miss a beat and brought fresh bowls which were perfectly piping hot, and so good! The prawn tempura was a bit soggy, but I would try it again to be sure because the batter seemed excellent. Overall, definitely will visit again and would recommend to others hoping to try some Japanese food.

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