Too good! Super fresh, generously cut sashimi. The scallops and crispy pork belly were cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of miso lightly flamed and baked into the scallops. Weโre visiting from Melbourne and were genuinely impressed by both the portion sizes and the depth of flavour. Everything was well balanced and thoughtfully prepared. Would definitely come back again.
A different concept of tapas style Japanese food and it was delicious and beautifully presented. We are a family of 5 and shared 12 plates and totally loved every one of them. Definitely recommend dining here.
Overall a good experience, but a bit disappointing for the price. The salmon was nice, however the teriyaki sauce was too sweet and overpowered the flavour. The upgraded wagyu beef was tougher than expected. At this price point, I would expect more balanced and refined flavours. With less sweetness, the dishes would be much more enjoyable.
Amazing food, so good we came twice. A great tucked away spot with friendly staff. Lovely wine and Japanese larger. The sashimi salmon was gorgeous and our two Poke bowls were delicious.
An absolute hidden gem! This Japanese tapas restaurant was a delightful surprise from start to finish (the perfect spot for a surprise date - 10 points to the Hubby). Every dish was a small work of art: delicate, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavour in a way that felt both refined and comforting. It was such a treat to try dishes I wouldn't normally go for, and each one was a revelation. The ambiance was elegant without being pretentious โ tables were dressed immaculately, and every detail of the setting felt thoughtfully considered. Table service was smooth, attentive, and elevated the entire experience. Truly not a single fault to be found. A memorable dining experience that Iโd recommend in a heartbeat. Five stars without hesitation!
