    A very pleasant meal before our visit to Sadlers Wells Theatre (less than 10 minutes walk away). Good portion sizes, great flavours and good value.

    Good Japanese restaurant. No tempura. Speciality is Katsu and teriyaki. Nice plum wine is a good alternative to poor European wine. Charming service. Apparently, the table is given away if you’re 10 minutes late so beware.

    Really enjoyed our pre-theatre meal here, a little gem slightly away from the main "Angel" centre. Service was excellent, attentive, fast and helpful. The restaurant was comfortably busy enough to create an atmosphere without being packed, though being early (17:30) I expect they may get pretty busy later. The katsu curry was delicious and a welcome change from our usual meal style. Would definitely come here again next time we're in the locality.

    A very good take on Japanese cuisine focusing on sushi, sashimi, teriyaki and (given the name, inevitably) katsu. It's generally pitched at a level a bit more authentic than, say, Wagamama, but more informal than a traditional Japanese restaurant. That said, the food and service were both very good. The value for money was excellent.

    Amazing food and everything— except, during the summer months the place gets boiling hot. Worth the sacrifice even still!

    We were going to order one of their specials but our waiter advised against it since we were on a tight timescale due to theatre tickets. I had the pumpkin katsu and my friend had the chicken and it may have been the best I've tasted in London! The food came out promptly as promised and wine sold by the carafe as well as the bottle and glass so we were able to eat and drink well and still make it to the theatre on time! Top Job!

    I came here with great expectations. I was recommended to upgrade the set for a more juicy fried pork for 5 pounds, however, the taste was normal. The rice was little and you need to pay extra money for more rice and iceberg. The overall service is good but I don't think I would come here again,
