Tasty but not authentic.I had the mixed sashimi bento. I ordered it around dinner time so it was quite hectic, but I do believe they forgot my miso soup.The salmon and yellowfin were nice, but you can taste the freezer-burn in the tuna's texture.The agedashi tofu were done completely wrong. Wrong kind of tofu (they used medium hardness rather than soft), the batter is very even and not "fluffy", and the sauce is the wrong sauce. Having said that, it does taste good, but I was hoping for the authentic version.

Pretty good Japanese restaurant. The service was fast and the food was very good. Had to knock off one star as although the prices are what you'd expect to pay in a mid tier restaurant £20 per head), the decor simply does not match and the tables are arranged in a grid like school desks or some kind of canteen. You've really got to enjoy Japanese food to come here. I'll probably go again but dress down more next time.

Amazingly Delicious Food 5 Stars for me. I have eaten in the restaurant and had takeaway and would highly recommend. Excellent Sushi as well, Best in Town.

We dined last night. A few items were not available on menu. Most of the menu is fried which I cannot eat. I opted for what I thought was the safest after asking their advice…… I have been really I’ll today & im not at all happy.The service was good apart from being mains out when starters had not been finished. I would not go there again. I thought Japanese was healthy cooking ??‍♀️

All stunning flavours as always, I did miss the normal amount of vegetables in the Katsu but that is my only criticism (though the chicken portions were a bit bigger than normal)

Sophie Martin

Wonderful food at a really reasonable price. Great variety and different to the usual chain options. Quick too! Very tasty.

Great food. I went when it first opened and the menu was a bit limited, but they have expanded it now and serve a good range of sushi. Absolutely will go again

Very nice! I recommend the spider roll, only one issue we asked for our sushi without tobiko, was told it would come with out it but it ended up having it.
