    Love this location! Food is amazing but the menu is overwhelming like a bible…maki rolls and appetisers are excellent. We weren’t as keen on the skewers. The prawns we had were over grilled and not so tasty. Otherwise a fab place for a birthday!

    The first thing you notice upon entering is the sleek, modern interior with a stylish Japanese ambiance – minimalist, yet thoughtfully designed. A surprising highlight was the menu itself: beautifully presented with stunning photos of each dish, making it a joy to choose. We opted for the Set for Success menu, which turned out to be an excellent choice. Every course was carefully prepared and full of flavor. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys Japanese cuisine in a contemporary setting.
