Been a few times. Would recommend trying the salmon and avocado roll with scallop on top at 17. The special rolls are a bit more compared to the classics but they come a bit bigger, if you are in to try something different. The tea is very good and you can request a top up at no extra cost. The staff is very friendly. I’d recommend coming early before it gets busy if you don’t want to wait too long for your food.

It felt so genuinely Japanese! From the brown interior, lanterns and chefs behind food stations, to the food. Good selection of sushi, noodle dishes, spare ribs, and seasonal deals. Nice tea and stronger drinks, and super friendly service.

Absolutely fantastic food here and lots of veggie options. I had a tofu and vegetable ramen and it was delicious — super fresh veg and it wasn’t too salty (like some miso-based dishes can be). Highly recommend!
