    Yummy Japanese! Kingfish was amazing, just wish there was more of it. Everyone else loved their meals too, and there was 10 of us! Lovely service and love those Tokyo Sours! Definitely recommend!

    We really enjoyed our dinner; pork gyoza, kingfish sashimi and ramen for two were all delicious! Service was very friendly and responsive. Thank you.

    The staff were excellent, friendly and efficient. The food was disappointing overall. We ordered the set menu and most of it tasted bland, not the Japanese flavours we have eaten elsewhere.
