This time, I ordered the TakaHisa course and enjoyed both sushi and Wagyu. I’ve been here several times, and every visit guarantees amazing food! When I have a day off and want to treat myself to something special or experience authentic Japanese cuisine, this is the place to go. You can never go wrong with TakaHisa!

A very good experience helped by being in a good window seat. Staff were all very good indeed. Would go again. But , it’s an expensive night out.
