Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We had dinner at Yakitori House on a Saturday night. The atmosphere was great without being too noisy. The food was very fresh and delicious. Tempura vegetables and fried rice a stand out.

This place is fantastic. The food is fast and good, our server was tentative but not intrusive. We had a large booking which got a bit complicated but they were happy to accommodate. Love coming here

Got the voucher from First Table. It is a small intimate space, friendly staff, Japanese bar culture decoration. We came at 5pm to have family dinner, tried BBQ and main course, very good food! Tempura is my favorite! Definitely will visit again!

Well this place isn't easy to find, and when you finally find it through all the one way streets ( driving a car) around Shorland/ /Qeeun Street. You find an entrance from an abandoned ( Domino's) pizza place, you go downstairs, and there it is....Good food, very nice people. We recommend checking it out!!More

Awesome food, on the expensive side but well worth it on a special night out. Have a happy hour before 7pm although we chose other drinks off the menu
