FOOD. I had a delightful experience at this Japanese restaurant, where the culinary offerings left a positive impression. The food, while not exceptional, was certainly fine and met expectations. The true standout was the meticulous presentation – each dish was a visual delight, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail. PLACE. The ambiance of the place added to the overall dining pleasure. The restaurant has a charming atmosphere, making it a nice spot for a meal. The interior design and decor create a cozy and welcoming environment that enhances the overall dining experience. SERVICE. The service at this establishment was commendable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient. They were quick to address any requests or questions, contributing to a positive and comfortable dining atmosphere. The waitstaff's knowledge of the menu and willingness to assist with recommendations further added to the overall positive experience.

This is a gem find! I came here for a belated birthday dinner celebration with my husband and daughter last Thursday, 7th Dec. It is tucked away in a side street between a couple of buildings. The food is exquisite and well presented. The menu is amazing with a variety of very interesting and unusual dishes that were incredibly delicious. We had Otsukuri, Cauliflower Mizore, Nasu Gommae, Omakase Tempura, Scallops, and Waygu Sute'eki (the best I've ever eaten - melt in your mouth). We had about six cocktails between us and didn't disappoint. If you are after fine dining at a reasonable price, I highly recommend this restaurant. Well done to the chef/s, and a team of very attentive staff members.

Delicious!! Friendly staff, cute space (so nice on a warm evening to sit outside), and food was fantastic! Not just “another” Japanese restaurant- refined and interesting. Eg our Balmain big (a special) tempura came with Balmain bug head mayo (not just kewpie) and salt / lobster salt combined as the salt served with the dish - just thing like this which elevated it from usual fare. Would return!

We tried the new Izakaya Nights menu and it exceeded our expectations. The presentation of everything was very beautiful, the flavours were unique and interesting, and the staff were very hospitable and welcoming. They incorporated a lot of thoughtful additions as we were celebrating a birthday, and also very good about proactively managing a food intolerance. It was surprisingly quiet on the Thursday night we visited but I am sure it will pick up once more people discover this hidden gem. Our favourite dish was the swordfish mizozuke, the soy tonyu dashi was very delicious and flavourful.

A neat little Japanese cafe tucked away from the main road. The service was fantastic and the staff was super friendly and attentive. I feel like the taste and the food was good but wasn’t that memorable though especially considering the price. I felt the very pretty bowls and plates and interesting presentation left more of an impression than the taste of the food.
