When trying too hard is combined with London hype and prices... And why, oh why, do you guys charge £20 corkage for a birthday cake brought on site that you do not offer on your menu? We have NEVER seen this before!!! A modest menu which brings nothing original compared to other Japanese-themed restaurants, with the need to have sides with your main as the plate comes pretty much just with the meat. They only provide you with chopsticks (why would you want to try to eat the sea bass or the chicken thigh elegantly anyway?!). The dessert options are laughable (although I admit that you don't go to a Japanese restaurant for the desserts). The food tasted good though, with kudos on the broccoli and the pork tonkatsu. The white wines weren't great. The staff was pleasant enough, but half of them couldn't advise on the wine options and none was able to explain any of the Japanese wording on the menu properly. The venue itself is very hipster, with furniture and minimalist decoration which was tasteful. It gets a bit loud when the live music is on but at least, the jazz band knew what they were doing. Just don't have dinner in the 30 mins before they play because they spent a good 15 mins setting up and testing their instruments and sound levels in a rather unpleasant manner (and I say this as a musician myself). In short, we won't bother again.

This place is incredible for people who love savouring jazz and small plates in an intimate setting. My favorite things to order are the scallops, side of mushrooms, & tuna and crispy rice. And I order chips & dip them in the mushroom sauce lol. Wasnt wowed by the cod or chicken.
