The food tasted amazing and definitely good value. The ambience was really nice with slow music that elevated the experience. Portions were generous and staff were brilliant with excellent service. Definitely recommend!

Disappointing this time- A lot of food is frozen by the looks of it- sushi was nice, soba was good but lacked finesse for a Japanese restaurant. Tempura squid was clearly frozen and reheated as was the gyoza- service was lovely and friendly , I am not in a rush back but thanks for the experience

Food absolutely delicious as it was on previous visit. Service fine. Ordered coffee after the meal. Served in takeaway cardboard cups. Unusual. So paid bill and left with them. Maybe it was a hint!😀 will be back. Love the food in this place. Picked up a cheap bottle of wine next door. Sorted.

High quality food, extensive selection of food and drinks on offer coupled with attentive staff. We (party of two) were seated quickly and our orders were taken and presented in good time. I ordered a fruit drink which was refreshing and full of flavour. The main courses were freshly made, full of flavour and delicious. An excellent and well priced place to eat. Highly recommended

We've been several times and are never disappointed. This time we brought our 3 grandchildren (2,5 and 6) - the bigger ones were given children's chopsticks and had great fun. The kids meal is really good value for money and they loved it. The only issue we had was that there was no vegan ice cream or pancakes - so no dairy free alternative for our grandson for dessert. Otherwise a fabulous experience
