    Had a delicious rice dish with steak: Gyuniku Donburi. It was a generous portion and good value (€18). Also they were fast and service was very friendly.

    Wonderful dinner. Had sashimi, sushi, dumplings and tempura. All were well done and super yummy. The service staff were attentive. We will definitely be back. While nice to get this food delivered having served directly from kitchen to table can’t be beat.
