"We went to this place for two dinners. I was craving for Japanese teriyaki and sushi. This place is crowded during weekends and we waited for 30 minutes to get a seat. I loved the teriyaki and rice. We also tried their udon, roll and the combo menu. Everything was upto the mark and a definite yes to visit this when you are around Stanley street."

"Great authentic Japanese food served by friendly and easygoing staff. Their chicken katsu is always excellent and a, generous serve, but my favourite is their beef teriyaki. The beef is finely cut and incredibly tender, and the sauce is rich and has just the right amount of sweetness. It might be my favourite umami experience ever - and that's saying something. It's a must try. It's not a glamorous place, but that's part of its charm. You feel like you're tucked away in a back lane in Tokyo somewhere. Great value for money too."

"A nice little place to go for some Japanese food. Ordered their Lunch Combo Set with a few of my colleagues, presentation may seems lacking but all tasted very decent. May not be the cleanest and fanciest restaurant to have your meal. But if you are looking for a place that is down to earth and good value this could be the place. Note that seating is limited so not idea for big group but can choose to sit inside or outside"

"Great service and lovely food. Very affordable and a more authentic Japanese vibe to the place. Never been to japan but it has that vibe none the less. I imagine this is what it’s like there. I love the rustic food and you can bring your own booze. Highly recommend this place"

"The food & service were great, such lovely people! During lunch time there was a waiting line (probably because the place is so good), but went by quick. The ambiance was nice but a bit stress full because of the pigeons that were going crazy because of the food the people next to us left at their table. Would be convenient to have a certain spot where you can leave your plate when you’re leaving! Next to that, would definitely go back."

"Excellent sushi! My local for over 20 years! Always outstanding and friendly service by the owner! The sushi here is simply exceptional. Every piece showcases the freshness and quality of ingredients, from buttery, melt-in-your-mouth sashimi to perfectly seasoned rice that holds each roll together. Standout dishes include: Omakase Set – A chef’s choice selection of the freshest seasonal fish, beautifully presented. Toro Nigiri – The fatty tuna is incredibly rich and delicate. Dragon Roll – A creative and flavourful roll featuring eel, avocado, and a light drizzle of eel sauce. Uni (Sea Urchin) Sushi – A must-try for seafood lovers, with a creamy and slightly sweet taste. Every dish is prepared with precision and artistry, making it a true feast for both the palate and the eyes."
