The overall experience dining here was poor. We booked a special birthday celebration event, and although the staff made an effort to place candles and a happy birthday chocolate in the dessert, the food was mediocre (served hot dish cold, some bites bland and some bites extra salty, some items were extra greasy) and the service pace was odd (appetizer felt very rushed while the rest of the meal came slowly 20mins+ wait). The tasting menu did not feel spectacular, and the fish did not taste fresh. Would not come back.

Fabulous dining experience, the menu has influences from michelin chiefs and it shows! I went with my husband as we’re both big fans of japanese & asian food in general, we were not disappointed. The waiter was particularly helpful. There was a private function happening behind us which was noisy and could easily have deterred us but honestly the food and staff made up for that, well done all!

Great vibe, the duck was fantastic and most of the sushi was delicious, some were nothing to write home about. Service felt rushed. Overall, good, would give it another try. The wagyu beef sushi was not worth.

The team servicing us was fantastic! Quick to respond and super attentive. The taste and quality of the food for what we paid on the other hand is what is driving my rating
