    I have been going here once a month. The value is getting less and less, i ordered some chicken wings, they were tiny mid joints, 4 pcs and charge over £10. Bowl of rice is only half full…I frequently sped £200 a meal for 2 for good food but the chicken wings was really poor

    Worst sushi I’ve had in London. Sushi rice was mush. There is a terrible reusable towel in the toilets to dry your hands, incredibly unhygienic.

    Sat down in Teppanyaki counter and it was nice to interact and see how the chef cooks. We ordered salmon in teriyaki sauce Mixed vegetables Wagyu steak (1) Drinks: Sake White wine Asahi beer Price: 142£ My boyfriend liked the salmon while I liked the Wagyu steak. It was quite expensive and the food was not a lot of serving. Though the vibe was good and I wished I also tried their sushi. Lastly, their ladies toilet looks old but clean and one cubicle was out of order 😅 Food: 3.5-4/5 Ambiance 4/5 Price: 3/5
