The waitress's attitude was quite bad. She waited for about half a minute while waiting for us to order a drink, and then walked away impatiently alone. We tried the Ramen here. The soup was very salty and disappointing.

Maybe it's because we arrived at 8:45. Near the closing time (in fact, our friends have ordered us in advance) the waiter's attitude is very poor and there is no service at all. We have ramen. The noodles are not elastic and the soup is salty. It can be said that it is not worth the price at all. The conclusion is that the cost is expensive, the service attitude is poor, and the decoration is average!

Good quality and very nice service. Just as an opinion, I think there's too much cucumber in the sushi pieces. Make them smaller with less cucumber or have some options without cucumber altogether. Regardless of this, recommended!

Definitely worth a visit! Japanese vibes. Great service from staff. Come for the pork ramen or fresh sushi.

The starters were quite intriguing. The sushi rice was still warm but didn't hold together very well. The fish was fresh and expertly prepared. However, I was puzzled by the avocado nigiri.
