Food Quality and Variety
Pros:
"Sushi options, from classic rolls to inventive creations, showcase expert craftsmanship and high-quality ingredients."
"The quality of the sashimi was supreme so did the sushi combo plate (sushi and sashimi combo)."
"The crispy mushroom roll was a favourite and we were recommended the cheesecake for dessert which didn’t disappoint."
"Absolutely delicious. Everything we ate was delicious, but I highly recommend trying out their boa buns, 10/10!"
"Small restaurant. Booking recommended as seems to be busy all the time. Food is amazing."
"Super tasty sushi, probably the best around the whole area, including Cambridge."
"Every dish we tried was delicious, rich in flavour. You could feel that no shortcuts have been made."

Cons:
"Slightly underwhelmed, food looks delicious, but is slightly bland inho."
"Salmon skin roll wasn't tasty and it was literally falling apart."
"Sushi pieces far too large not delicate, difficult to eat with chopsticks."
"For a decent amount of food i.e. 1 main + 15-20 sushi expect around £40-£45 per person."
"The “sushi rolls” were inconsistent in temperature, and the matcha latte was simply milk with green powder."
"Only feedback is that, at the window table, you do feel a little forgotten about and have to kind of turn and wave to get the attention of the wait staff."
"The food was good. But the space was small & there wasn’t any music playing to give it some atmosphere."
