Disappointed by their so-called omakase. It was not authentic Japanese omakase style. Food was very average and not our expectation at all. Service was below average. The waitress did not pay attention to us at all. If you want to enjoy the authentic Japanese omakase, must skip this one.

Nice little Japanese restaurant offering very good value for money. Service nice but a bit slow. The signature Tuna Cigar had too much onion, unfortunately

Love the new restaurant location Sitting out the back was a bit strange, as service was patchy, plus we were seated next to the only other table - in a very large space - and they were VERY noisy Food was great as always Please top up water glasses more often, or just leave a jug for us!

We arrived on time. The staff didnt handle the previous reservations properly and asked all of us who had reservations around that time to either cancel the reservation or wait for 1 hour. Horrible to force us to cancel plans on Valentines Day!
