    Me and my wife had a great experience at the chef's table last night. It has been over a year since we last visited since our son was born and we were so glad to see the food not only has maintained its high quality but in fact has best our last experience! Well done to Keita and his talented team behind the kitchen counter!

    This is our couple's regular date night now. Perfect and authentic Japanese food by professional and very kind Japanese chefs and staff. Drinks are also awesome and reasonably priced. Must try their chicken crackling yakitori, garlic fried rice, wagyu tartare, and uni hand roll sushi (special menu)!!!

    Fantastic Set was brought out really good value. The ambience of the restaurant transports you to Japan without leaving Sydney! The waitress is very enthusiastic and happy to assist in any way she could. Excellent all round experience - we will be back to try out the dinner menu. Highly recommended!

    In Japan, they use Binchotan to grill skewers. This store uses CHEAP charcoal you can buy at Bunnings. The output is very very average.

    Disappointing. Service was strange …either very busy or indifferent. Food was ok. The miso soup was the tastiest order. Nice ambience…
