   The experience was amazing. The food was great. However, the wait time for the food was very long (approx. 2 hours). Though the ambiance was great, the spacing was smaller than expected.

   The service was amazing! They were so kind and attentive throughout. The vibes were a little low on a Friday night. It’s just around the corner from Piccadilly theater (I had a 7:30 show after dinner) and it would’ve been fun to have been to a restaurant where there was a buzz but it was lightly patroned while I was there so it was a rather quiet Friday night dinner. Some folks may like that while others may want a more lively scene. The food was really good though! I had the salmon avocado roll and the shrimp tempura roll. They were a bit thick on the sushi rice but the quality of ingredients was high.

   The taste in the food wasn’t good. Fish would fall from the Niguiri. Plain products. Nothing wow.

   Today, I had the pleasure of celebrating a dear friend's birthday at an outstanding Japanese restaurant. From the moment we entered, we were warmly welcomed , setting the tone for what would be an exquisite culinary journey. The service was impeccable—attentive yet unobtrusive, with staff eager to ensure every aspect of our meal was just right. As for the food, it was nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish was a beautiful testament to authentic Japanese cuisine, with fresh ingredients prepared to perfection. The balance of flavors was impeccable, and the presentation a feast for the eyes as much as for the palate. The ambiance was equally delightful—peaceful and elegant,provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration, adding to the joyous atmosphere. If you're seeking an authentic Japanese dining experience in London with a good value for money, This is the place.

   The lady serving was very nice, but unfortunately the tasting sushi menu was not good at all. I would not recommend this restaurant as there are so many delicious Japanese restaurants with excellent sushi in London, and this is not one of them.

    We have been coming here for years but unfortunately are under new ownership. The menu is different and the food does not compare to what it used to be. The quality of the fish is not as fresh and the rolls were full of rice and hardly had any fish. We will not go back, it was very bad.
