    Sensational Wagyu Omakase experience that is quite rare in London. A bit pricey but it’s overally worth.

    The food was exceptional and the beef was the best I have ever tasted. It was great fun to try so many differenr ways to taste Wagyu beef. Recommend this resaurant as well worth a visit and great fun to have the food prepared at your table.
