   Came here for the first time with my wife on a cold Saturday afternoon in December. Unfortunately, it didn't feel much warmer inside the restaurant than out. Children belonging to staff members were in the restaurant and being a bit noisy. The service was polite but all over the place. The courses were served haphazardly. My wife was already eating her main course before my soup arrived and she'd finished by the time I was served my main course. The restaurant was not busy. My beer wasn't chilled enough. The food itself was nice enough but we didn't stay for dessert. It was just too cold to feel comfortable.

   Had the Sizzling Tender Lamb delivered. It was just the thinly sliced lamb you get for hotpot stir fried. Not sure If they ran out of the lamb they were supposed to use, or if this is just the poor quality you get from this restaurant. Either way, I wouldn't recommend. £16 down the drain.

   Absolutely wonderful experience! Had the hot pot and kbbq set and it was delicious. The servers/owners were so lovely and helpful. The restaurant itself looked brand new and very clean. Will definitely be coming back

   Tried their hotpot and bbq offer. I no longer need to go to Southampton to satisfy my hotpot cravings. Food is good, and service is brillant. Friendly and warm servers and owners. Would highly recommend this place.

   Wow! First time here. Just got a takeaway for lunch. Opted for the Unagi (eel) and deep fried soft shell crab. Both were outstanding. Best I've had by far. Crab was juicy on a little bed of cabbage, carrot and sesame seeds. Eel was smoky and soft on a little pillow of sticky rice and beautifully presented. It's fairly pricey but as an occasional treat, absolutely superb. Beyond anything you'll get in a supermarket. I finished off just stuffing the ginger doused in soy and wasabi!

   Firstly the menu and prices are outdated on their website. Online it says the Agedashi Tofu is £4.80, it is now £8, that's £2 per small cube of tofu! The tofu was also deep fried in tempura batter rather than lightly fried on potato starch, so it was thick, they also hadn't pressed the tofu beforehand, so there was too much moisture making the batter soggy, and the tofu lacking flavour. And as you can see in the photo, there wasn't any daikon radish or spring onion, struggling to understand how they changed £8 for this. For the unagi donburi, the uniagi was quite thin and I think they used teriyaki sauce rather than kabayaki, and the sauce was cooked for slightly too long as it was on the bitter end (high sugar content in sauce burns easily). The staff all spoke to each other in Cantonese, so it may be Hong Kongese ran Japanese restaurant rather than authentic Japanese.

   We went for a birthday anniversary. As we expected, it was another pleasant experience! The same great and tasty Japanese food! The waiter lady, she was a sweet! Paid us a lot of attention! And the tatamy tables makes you feel the Japanese traditional way of enjoying a meal. We would definitely come back!

   Fantastic Japanese restaurant my partner and I chanced upon today. Our server Chelsea was quite friendly and accommodating and got us a seat (despite not having made previous reservations) at one of those booths with low tables where you have to take your shoes off and sit on futton cushions to eat. Food was excellent and well worth the price paid. For starters, we had chili and garlic endemame that were fresh and seemed like it was picked out of a back garden. For the mains, the chicken tori katsu was light and crispy and the curry sauce it was bathed in was thick and very tasty. The unagi was covered in light flavourful teriyaki sauce and was grilled to perfection. It also came with miso soup which I appreciated this chilly day. Overall, my partner and I had a lovely time and will definitely come back in the future to try the sushi and ramen.
