Really good food and amazing service. Recommend for family and friends get together. Rice donabe is a must have dish, but it takes 45mins to cook, so it’s better to order before.

We had a great evening. The menu is enormous, so definitely something for all tastes. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Great cocktails too. Tuna tartare bites and prawn maki were my favourites, but there are things I’d like to try next time. Our servers Amanda and Kamil made us feel very welcome and were helpful with navigating the menu. Extra thanks to them for making my friend feel special on her birthday dinner too.
