    The service was ok but they’re very friendly, they gave us the wrong dish and only realised it when they double checked our order. It looked like the waiters were a bit green and inexperience. Food wise it was very nice although not cheap (but Japanese Wagyu is never cheap!).

    I went to that restaurant in Covent Garden for dinner today because I saw they had a half-price promotion on wagyu, so I went with some expectations. However, when we arrived, we ordered the Wagyu Hotpot and Wagyu Ribeye. Neither of these dishes required cooking, yet we waited for nearly an hour. We even asked the server to check on our order, and when we mentioned that we had been waiting for almost an hour, his response was simply, “I see.” When the food finally arrived, the table, which was for two, was so small that it couldn’t accommodate both dishes. The server suggested we finish one dish before they served the other. But after waiting for an hour, we were already very hungry, and the two dishes were completely different. As for the food itself, the wagyu in the Wagyu Hotpot didn’t even look like proper cuts—it was just scraps and trimmings. The portion size was also very small. We spent nearly £100 and left feeling nowhere near full. It was absolutely not worth the price.

    Service could have been better. Waiters not very attentive in refilling water and clearing the table to make room for the next dish. Took a while to get the bill and pay as well. Shabu shabu soup was too salty and no truffle taste in the udon.

    Food portion is small. Service is extremely slow. Ordered 3 items. Took 1.5 hrs for everything to arrive. Asked staff questions and they look clueless. Send the wrong dishes to wrong table multiple times. Food quality as average as itsu/wasabi but charging a premium. I think the chefs are not authentic jap

    Not great experience despite the food being quite good, the portion though are very small for the price even for Central London. It was a booking for a birthday, it was noted and the person greeted mentioning that, it was due to be a surprise. The first waitress did not bother communicating with us, she did not seem to speak English or interested in even being polite. The second one was kind and efficient but despite that the food took 45min to arrive and that it is despite mentioning we had a theatre play and chasing. No commercial gesture. Overall, it is hard to want to go back despite decent food.

    A fantastic restaurant. The Waygu hot pot was astoundingly good, the vegetable gyoza were flavorful and beautifully cooked and the cocktails were perfect. A great experience.

    A new restaurant close to Covent Garden. Beautiful Japanese-style ambience and outstanding service. The food is very good and, overall, offers excellent value for money. A great addition to the area. Highly recommend and will go again.
