It was a very good experience. Food quality is comparable to how most restaurants do it in Japan. We ordered 6 entrees (skewers), two main dishes, four drinks and 2 desserts. Final bill was over $130. Not bad for Sydney, but it’d be worthwhile that this is the price point you’ll be looking to pay, for two people who skipped their last meal before coming to this place.

The menu was confusing and expensive. Quantity and quality of the food is 2/5. The taste was below average . We would not go back again.
