Authentic high quality Japanese, best in Glasgow. I shows the staff a picture of a sushi bowl I had eaten elsewhere that wasn’t on the menu, and this is the art they came up with. Unbelievably good

They do sushi cake !! I made a special request of ordering a sushi cake for collection as a surprise for my partner’s birthday, and it was better than I imagined. I allowed them to have free creative will with the design. I have a photo to show this. The staff were so kind and went above and beyond. Beautiful presentation, delicious fresh sushi, and they even included complimentary drinks, soy sauce, ginger, wasabi, and chopsticks. The whole experience felt really special, even as a takeaway. I highly recommend this place for both the quality of food and the outstanding service.

Had a wonderful experience here! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with pretty, colourful decor that made the space feel warm and inviting. The staff were all friendly and attentive, and service was quick thanks to the efficient chefs and well-organised team. I was served by Leona, who was cheerful, helpful, and made the visit even more enjoyable. Lovely hospitality all around – I’ll definitely be back!
