"I used to love this place and go there all the time. Great sushi, reasonable prices and super helpful staff. The new management taking over is incredibly unhelpful. I called them to make a booking flagging that I was loyal customer and i have been going there for the last ten years. The restaurant manager was completely inflexible, couldn’t care less and she invited me to book on open table where everything was obviously fully booked. If you don’t care about your loyal customers, whom do you a care about? Very disappointing."

Great food! Very attentive staff. We had a lovely meal and we found the portion sizes generous! Quality of food was amazing and extremely tasty!
Ashley
Food was fresh. Service was below par. No atmosphere. Not particularly welcoming. Menu is not terribly long but good enough. Not sure I'd go back.
Dale

We had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. Our favorite dishes included the Aburi truffle tuna, wagyu, assorted nigiri, and salmon roe. The cocktails were delicious and reasonably priced, and the service was welcoming and friendly.

Don't be put off by the exterior of the restaurant. I know the inside isn't much cosier but the food was delicious! I loved the sushi platter and there was so much of it that we could even take some home (in environmentally friendly containers my friends loved their soups. Friendly communication via email and easy to book. Toilet facilities were clean and had some nice toiletries. I would happily return!
Tracy
Really good quality Sashimi and sushi we went on a Friday night and it was quite busy. The menu is not too big which I liked and the selection was pretty good. I particularly liked the salmon sashimi marinated in soy sauce and the crab shell sushi. It wasn’t too expensive either. The service was friendly and attentive too, our waitress made us feel at ease and was genuinely friendly. We will definitely go back! Thanks for a lovely evening.
