Really good for a sushi experience!The service was good and quick!The platters of sushi take a bit of time but they are really good!They don't take card unless you do a bank transfer and they take cash!Definitely worth going again!

I had a sushi+nigiri set and a glass of wine. It was very good. Staff is very friendly. Place looks nice but I think they had water leak problems when I was there which causes unpleasant atmosphere (buckets and signs around the place).To sum it up, I will definitely go there again to taste ramen and unagi dishes.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor, no stairs, accessible

Having dinner with my family last Saturday was a great experience. Although the restaurant was busy and we had to wait for a while, But it was definitely worth it. The food was totally terrific and the staff was friendly, even though they were busy but still will come check us. We will definitely come back next time and recommend it to others.

Absolutely terrible!!! I used to enjoy the sushi here, it’s really good… HOWEVER on arrival yesterday I witnessed one of the chefs spitting into something whilst making eye contact casually. Maybe she forgot where she was? I asked the waiter who was about to seat us what it is she’s spitting into, food? The sink? She said Yeh the sink. I mean….. Eat there at your own risk. Hygiene is important and spitting is disgusting, let alone in a restaurant whilst cooking. I will NEVER eat here

I used to be a regular, but stopped coming 6+ months ago due to the hygiene of the tea pots of the green tea I thought it was disgusting. I thought to give it another shot today, I was even more disappointed with the Ton Katsu Don rices and Unaigi Bento's rice. The rice was hard and didn't even feel like I was having sushi rice it wasnt soft and sticky, felt almost like ordinary rice and hasnt been cooked properly. The worst part about the Bento box the tofu was sour, so I believe its beginning to go off and they still served it. Then towards the end some of the rice in the Bento box tasted weird like soapy, I hope they have been rinsing their dishes properly after wash, and they must have forgotten our Bento box as everything was almost finished and it still hasnt arrived, we had to chase it, and even after chasing it didn't come till 15mins later. Finally, the Teriyaki Seafood Udon was absolutely brilliant in flavours, however the beansprouts within absolutely ruined it, as it wasnt fresh so it tasted funny. I hope there's improvements can be made as you used to be my favourite sushi place. Overall, the service was lovely, nice staffs, very polite and helping.

Superb sushi, we particularly love the Rainbow roll. Lovely staff who are very attentive, quick service and food. Worth every penny for great quality sushi.

Service was great, staff was lovely. However, this was the worst ramen I ever had. Noodles were overcooked and were falling apart, broth had no taste, egg was overcooked and old, and the pork was so hard I couldn’t even bite throughout it, this is the first time I left a full dish and just didn’t eat it. Takoyaki was great.

Chose this sushi place for lunch, had an incredibly lovely waitress look after us, cannot fault the service. Unfortunately, I ended up having very bad food poisoning after eating here, possibly due to how warm it was in the restaurant. From what I could tell, the rice was freshly made meaning it was still warm when it was made into sushi which may be what caused the fish to go bad. I imagine it was a one off but did ruin my personal experience of the sushi bar. Mostly thought it was important to leave a review so the restaurant can avoid this happening to customers in the future!

This Japanese restaurant is great for casual night out, and party too, you can book a party at the back, i had my birthday party here. It was great. Food- every time we come here they never fail us it's always delicious that's why we keep coming back Noodles ahhh so perfect Highly recommended the tepanyaki noodles and the soup noodles. It's got full of flavours, Sushi was freshly made. Value of money it's very good, portions are good. Highly recommended it We love food and we always look for full of flavours and this is the place for a very good food. You should try you won't get disappointed.

The restaurant was quiet. I booked a table for one and placed my order 20 minutes later. The waitress asked if I would be prepared to wait an extra half an hour for my mail because they were really busy. This was not people in the restaurant. This was takeaway orders. I said I was not happy to wait another half an hour and to be fair my first course, arrived fairly soon after. Whilst eating my meal two Islamic fully clothed, women entered the restaurant and having moved table 3 times placed themselves next to me within a few minutes of sitting next to me, One of them called me a filthy tramp because I had looked at her. She demanded to be moved and was moved again to her fourth choice of place for the evening. I waited for my second course which never arrived and went to pay, and as I did so I was abused again by these two Muslim women. The staff at the restaurant, raise their eyes in disapproval, but did nothing to prevent the abuse. I did nothing and said nothing to offend either of these women, but quite clearly whatever I did or said they would’ve played the race card and I would’ve been the underdog. Very disappointing evening with no support from the restaurant staff
