    Amazing place! It feels very authentic, staff are extremely kind and attentive and the kitchen was very catering to allergies especially gluten free. The Onigiri are amazing inside the restaurant while they are still hot but also work very well as take away lunches, very all rounded.

    Amazing food! Service was terrible, but as long as you're not in a hurry, it's worth it! We waited for nearly half an hour before getting the beer and wine glass we were waiting for. The food came soon enough, but the second beer I ordered had to be requested three times before it was brought eventually. But the food was good value, large portions, and amazing flavours. We will be back, and allow more time for waiting.

    Hi Marc So sorry about this, we were a little bit busy and understaffed on Saturday. I can assure you this is not our usual standard! We’re glad you enjoyed your meal but please do come back so we can redeem ourselves with regards to service! :)

    This is our second time here and it was awesome. We took our twins and they also really loved seeing all the Ghibli posters and Japanese paraphernalia. My daughter loves egg fried rice which was not on the menu but the chef prepared us fresh egg fried rice on request and I must say its the best we've ever had. The onigiri was amazing as always. The fish flake one was my personal favorite. My wife loved the jalapeño and chicken mayo. The Japanese fried chicken was also exceptional. We finished off with iced matcha. What a great meal and experience.

    Spent my birthday there having an intimate lunch with some friends and everything was just superb, from the vibes to the food, everything was out of this world! If you want incredible Asian cuisine, the I highly recommend this place!
