"Visited this lovely hidden gem in Middlesbrough on a work trip up North and I can honestly say it was an absolute delight. I had the bao bun to start and the Tonkotsu Pork Bone broth with the pork belly and both were delicious! One main thing to mention is for a solo trip, the ambience was perfect and it felt like such a welcoming and safe space. The waiter I had (I never found out his name! was so attentive, polite and respectful; sometimes it can be a little awkward when eating alone but he had the balance just right : Such a shame I was only up for a couple of days. Will certainly return if I’m ever working up north again."

Honestly, the best Japanese food we've had in the UK. £20 for a 3 course meal too, you can't go wrong
Sasha
Quite a lot of vegan options, you need to specify vegan, although some are made differently with egg/milk. Small and cozy
Kia
Great service super friendly, we were served by Matthew who was awesome!! Food was delicious, nice veggie options for main. Set lunch is great value.
Lewis
Nice vegan options to try here! Lunch menu only £19 containing an appetizer, starter, main and a drink We had edemmame, gyoza, inari bags, and two nets
Jackson
The food was amazing with such a depth of flavour. Cosy restaurant with limited seating, but you don’t feel cramped or rushed. A few vegan options and a few of the vegetarian meals can be made vegan. The pumpkin curry in particular was perfect.
Bethany
Both the food and the staff are absolutely outstanding. Picked a couple of dishes on the recommendation of our waiter and they did not disappoint. Honestly cannot recommend this restaurant enough both for the food and for the experience, the staff couldn't be any better. Didn't book but just came for my daughter's birthday and were given a birthday desert at the end of our meal. Faultless

Was able to get a vegan tofu curry upon request, and everything we ordered was so tasty. However, having gone back for a third time and physically sitting in, I found the environment very anxious and unnerving. My requested tofu vegan curry had bits in that didn’t belong in the curry, even though it seemed to only be a piece of batter or so I really wasn’t happy as having obviously had crosstamination with my food, god knows what else it could have been : .

If I had fallen into a tub of Katsu Curry in a dream, I would wake up to a happy day. I spent the second half of every visit here turning my bowl around and looking for the best last smiling curry. This is a beautiful place that they do vegans well and are a beautiful couple with a friendly team of waiting staff. If you ever have this other dream that your pillow turned into a tofu pillow case filled with boiled rice well they have, toofu inari. Updated by previous review on 2020 01 16
