    Super attentive service for our party that included a toddler. Well made cocktails and very tasty food, highlights were the wagu steak and signature sushi rolls.

    The foie gras and beef rice are delicious. The quality of the foie gras is excellent, and most importantly, the set meal is very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

    Set lunch is best value for money. I thought it would be choosing anyone from appetisers but it served everything in the list. Even included the sashimi and dessert. Surprisingly all dishes taste good and quantity is nothing to say!

    Avoid the set menu- good value but mains were uniformly bad. The sushi was out of this world. A 2 person serve fed all 4 of us really well. (We only asked for a 1 person serving, but the waitress had a few failings and that was one.) Would go back and order more sushi

    We had the February set menu and the food was very disappointing: - miso soup was luke warm - chef’s appetiser was simply cold seaweed and cucumber (side dishes you would get for free at a Korean restaurant) - I have never tasted uni like this before. It felt fake and rubbery and was not even a full slither of uni! - the beef was so tough I couldn’t even chew it. I gave them feedback on the beef when paying the bill and the waitress seemed somewhat surprised but failed to follow up or ask me anything! Would not go back or recommend this restaurant.

    The sashimi experience at this London restaurant was quite disappointing. The tuna tasted slightly sour, indicating it wasn’t fresh, while the surf clam (hokkigai) also lacked freshness. The texture of the tuna was very loose and fell apart when picked up, which was far from ideal. The service was average, and while the staff eventually refunded my order, I feel the restaurant needs to focus more on the quality of their ingredients to improve the dining experience. Hopefully, they’ll take this feedback into consideration.
