Fantastic fresh and tasty Japanese food. Friendly staff but space is limited so maybe book ahead. We enjoyed a range of dishes but the hot salmon was my favourite.

Nice and small place with a exceptional service and great food. Small and tasty plates to delight yourself with a great sake! Don’t expect to eat sushi. We had de pancake, mixed sashimi, tempura, noodles, miso-soup and an amazing raw ribeye. Worth the visit!

The place is small, the food is great and the service is fast. Wouldn't recommend this place for a multi hour dinner, but rather for drinks and some great Japanese tapas. Would recommend!

Best to book! Very small and busy and an eclectic tapas-style menu of Japanese food. Staff so lovely and happy and efficient! Rare beef with smokey sauce fabulous as were scallops.
