    Food is ok, price is not bad, service is decent but odd, they look at your food and remove your plates immediately when u finish it and adjust your plates for you. The way they do it immediately makes me feel pushed to finish my food .

    It’s a Michelin star resto. Good food. Coat check was welcome. Elevator and staircases both modern and luxurious. Greeted with a welcome sip of Prosecco for my friend’s birthday which I thought was a great start to our evening. Service was a bit too intense. We were continually upsold for dishes despite being quite full from the edamame, two rolls and main dishes and dessert and tea we ordered. Also several times tried to take our dishes when we weren’t finished. Lovely customised birthday message on my friend’s dessert. Very pricey. Would be better if I wasn’t paying lol

    The food was amazing. I had the Eggplant, Mushroom Toban and fried rice. Totally worth it. The service was also amazing. The servers were kind, knew the menu well and able to provide good suggestions.
