• "Great Japanese music. It’s very rare in London."

• "The only downside was the poorly air-conditioned interior."

Value

Cons:

• "It was quite expensive considering the quality of food, which wasn't that nice or fulfilling."
• "This place is overpriced for what it is: very average Japanese-ish food."
