If you like sushi and are in London Paddington area, this is a highly recommended place. The treatment by the staff is remarkable, they know the product they offer and advise you wonderfully. The dishes are delicious and the sushi is very tasty, salmon roll and dragon roll are a must. When we went it was Wednesday night and it was busy which means it's quite famous for the quality of the food. appropriate price. Congratulations on your job well done!
