Food was bland , lack of flavour and not worth the price. Chicken katsu curry nearly £14 but no rice and not fresh. Beef rice dish had salty but bland taste. Would not recommend

Good experience but not good enough. I would recommend them to keep cleaning things out of sight. I would recommend them not to rush all the food to the table when there is few people and it is not even late. There are more things that can be picked, but I just wish to give a small help to improve. Food acceptable but does not shine. They are not far from shining but needs better presentation.

Lovely staff and authentic Japanese cuisine. Drinks were particularly well priced, and I would recommend the sizzling salmon as a must have main. The starters were also delicious, with the takoyaki being a personal favourite of mine. Definitely would visit again / recommend to others.
