    Excellent service but very cramped environment! You almost feel like you’re on top of the people beside you. Food is very good but table sizes are far too small to eat comfortably without knocking things over. Would definitely benefit to increase table sizes and space them out a bit more to create more room.

    Had a delicious rice dish with steak: Gyuniku Donburi. It was a generous portion and good value (€18). Also they were fast and service was very friendly.

    Wonderful dinner. Had sashimi, sushi, dumplings and tempura. All were well done and super yummy. The service staff were attentive. We will definitely be back. While nice to get this food delivered having served directly from kitchen to table can’t be beat.
