4.9 / 5.0(3,601 reviews)

Service is excellent here. The staff offered us heat warmers as we waited in line outside, which was a positive start to our experience. Of course, the real test was still the food, and they delivered. The batter was delicious, the meats tender and fresh, my family and I had 2 bowls of rice each. This intimate place is run by young people and their passion for food and service shows. Would 100% recommend. An amazing little place! Staff were welcoming and very happy to accommodate us. My wife and daughter went for the Wagyu set meal A and I had Set meal B (pork cutlet + Chicken). The food was delicious. Rather than having all the food piled on you straight away, it's brought to you in stages. Rice, curry sauce and other sauces arrived first, then I received my chicken and they got the 1st half of the steak. Then progressively more bits were added as you ate. Would definitely recommend going, well worth the money. So yummy! They make you grind your own sesame and whisk your matcha for the Beer. Such a fun experience. Kai did amazing explaining everything. Hiyori was super nice too, great staff!

Amazing spot! The food is incredibly delicious, prepared with great attention to detail and super fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is really cool and relaxed, giving you that authentic Japanese dining experience. Service is kind and attentive, and every dish from the rice to the sides was perfectly executed. Definitely a place worth visiting. Highly recommended!

I found this place from their reviews online and they did not disappoint! Curry sauce is delicious I could drink it, pretty much did. The staff were lovely and explained how everything went together. I love how they cook everything in front of you. Chicken and pork had the nice golden crisp and tender inside. Well done team, please send recipe for curry sauce haha
