Ambience and Decor

Pros:

  • "Aesthetically, this place felt like I was back in a small alley way in Tokyo."
  • "The decor of the restaurant was fantastic, super fun and added to the atmosphere."
  • "Beautiful selection of Ramen, my favourite is the Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen from Fukuoka, the broth was stunning! The decor and interior design of the restaurant is transformative. You really do feel you are in Tokyo!"
  • "Great atmosphere as well."

Cons:

  • "The seating was also uncomfortable, I had cramp afterwards."
  • "The atmosphere looks like old Japan 50 years ago."
  • "The music is really loud inside."
  • "The place itself was awesome. The food was nice. The service was distressing."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food was delicious, big portions and good value for money!"
  • "The quality of the food was impressive. I love the wagyu meat! It's like butter in your mouth."
  • "The ramen is quite decent. Got the tonkotsu broth and the flavour was strong and garlicky."
  • "The food was great and consistent, the decor is amazing."

Cons:

  • "The noodles was very disappointing. Both bowls were too salty and tasted average at best."
  • "The food is good but not that special."
  • "The food is sooooo good. I had the spicy chicken ramen, pan fried gyoaza and takoyaki. I really love the takoyaki 10/10. The service can be improved though."
  • "The food is great and consistent, the decor is amazing. But the restaurant is clearly understaffed and the staff are not efficient."

Service

Pros:

  • "The staff is very welcoming and attentive. Definitely, we will come back soon."
  • "The staff were super nice and gave me an extra serving miku mat to take home when I ordered the miku meal."
  • "The staff was really nice and amazing for making my sister's day really special! Would definitely come back."
  • "The staff delivered an excellent customer service, although the restaurant was very busy, the waiting time for the food was less than expected."

Cons:

  • "The service, however, isn't as great as before. It takes a long time to get their attention, place an order, or to even ask for the bill."
  • "The food was delicious, but the service was very poor: friendly staff but they kept forgetting stuff."
  • "The service was bad from the start, I should have taken that as a sign."
  • "The service was really bad and slow. The writer forgot our order and we got the food after 45 min."
