• "The sushi and maki’s are off a conveyer belt so God knows how long they have been sitting there not fresh at all."
• "The sea bass ceviche the we ordered tastes so fishy we returned it."
• "Everything tasted vinegary. Food is certainly not authentic Japanese, perhaps more Korean."

Cons:

• "Service was really bad. Waited for over 10 mins for each water refill which I had to ask for, this was despite many of the staff members stood around talking to each other."
• "Staff kept avoiding our table as we had to keep asking for more water."
• "When we paid they didn’t bother to bring out our change we had to go and ask for it ourselves after 15 minutes."

Value

Pros:

• "Decently priced for great tastes and good portions."
• "The membership is worthy it, if you go more than twice a year."

• "Fantastic sushi and reasonable prices."

Cons:

• "A quite simply outrageous £4.40 for 4 tiny pieces of vegetable tempura."
• "We did not feel it was worth the price at all."
• "The food was I think a little over priced for what it was."
• "Overpriced, extremely mediocre food, everything was far too salty and virtually inedible."
• "I wouldn’t mind the price if the food was satisfactory but I’m afraid is not worth £90."
• "The food is average and the cost is very expensive."

Ambience

Pros:

• "This restaurant has a good vibe and great outdoor seating."
• "Ambience wise it’s good, apart from the fact that the phone at the unmanned front desk is constantly ringing very loudly."
• "Wonderful food and brilliant service within a beautifully designed environment."
• "It wasn’t too smart or too shabby a setting, it was a relaxed but enticing environment which makes experiencing Japanese cuisine all the better!"
• "The atmosphere was great and the host was very attentive and knowledgeable."
• "Decor is warm and snug, the atmosphere is lively with conversation, but feels private enough to talk freely."
• "Love the ethics that underpin every aspect of this place. sustainable fish, local produce, happy staff and active in the community in every way."

Cons:

• "A modern 21st century restaurant with backwards thinking from the 20th century."
• "The appalling, loud 1990's dance music pervades all and ruins the ambiance."
• "The unnessarcery Covid screens surrounding our table prevented any open views across the restaurant, so there was no atmosphere whatsoever."
• "No back rest to the bench seat, so constantly having the hanging screen being pushed into your back from the seating behind."
• "Looked good when we walked in but because they had no windows at the front it was cold and drafty!"
• "Hygiene is clearly of a secondary priority as someone was permitted to bring their yappy dog in to the restaurant to eat."
• "Their terms and conditions for booking a table are unclear and misleading."
