Cons:

• "Neutral decor, not really evocative of Japan but hardly distracted from the overall experience."
• "Very cramped tables."
• "Ambience does not justify the additional 12 percent either if that's the angle, it's not brand spanking new in any way."
• "At busy periods you may be awkwardly placed next to the toilet."
• "The place is really small though, and you'd be right up against strangers on the same table."
