Excellent service from the time of arrival to departure. Cocktails (of which we had a few) were creative and delicious. The food was authentic Japanese and of the highest quality. We sat outside which allowed us to take in the hustle and Bustle of Spice Alley. A super enjoyable meal and experience and one we will be sure to do again in the not too distant future.

What a hidden delight in Haymarket. Walking in the door we felt as though we travelled to a bar in Europe or Japan. Fantastic bites, great selection of alcohol and the atmosphere was amazing. We will definitely be back to try some whiskey.
