To begin, I have 2 statements: I'm not the kind of person visiting fancy and expensive restaurants and I was not prepared for this level of establishment. I love sushi, especially salmon nigiri. So, after a long walk and many visits to tourist attractions and wearing comfortable clothes, we saw this restaurant serving sushi. Mmm, that'll make my day. Upon entering, we were greeted by a very nice man all dressed up in a good looking costume. The first part of the premises looked very nice. Started to wonder what kind of place this is. Continuing to our seats, more and more I'm realising that this is not meeting down to our standards. When we got the menus, all leather inbound, it was a surprise to see the prices. Not really what I'm used to, even if I indulge myself at better places in my hometown. For drinks we ordered still water, wich came all the way from Norways clear springs and the label was printed in gold(color). We ended up ordering a total of 4 salmon Nigeria, just to taste them. All in all 31 pounds, from wich 14,5% was a serving rip-off. Well, after 2 nigiris and a part of a exclusive Norwegian springwater I wanted to pay. I felt a bit embarrassed for our small dinner, so I had to explain our circumstances. Probably not the first guest doing the same. Well, how was the premises, explain my stars. The food was very good, compared to many others I have eaten. I have eaten better and for considerably lower price. But on the other hand, how big part of the yaste is my hunger... The service weren't any special. If it hadn't been for the 14,5% serving rip-off, I had given them 3 stars. The atmosphere was very nice, but all the music playing and people talking made it very noisy. Not my cup of tea, whole others like it. All in all, it was an experience. Absolutely no bad feelings about it, more laughing at ourselves since we weren't prepared for it. If you got money, like noisy restaurants and Japanese food, this is the place for you. Sidenote; this is by all means NOT a bad place, on the contrary it's very good. Instead, it wasn't meant for me. Have fun and enjoy the autumn!

Superb ambiance, food, great service highly attentive at all times. Lose a star for adding 14.5% tip and then a £1 charity donation though. Stop this trend please and let me decide how much to leave as tip and make donations opt-in.
