Edamame tastes pretty much the same everywhere else, but the tofu was excellent. Normally people associate tofu with being bland, but this was something else. The tofu was fried and comes served in a flavorful broth. I also had the Udon noodles, which was amazing. I didn 't have udon noodles before (they are like very thick noodles) but I became an instant fan. So many wonderful flavors. Very fresh ingredients. I had to try out the coconut panna cotta and matcha green tea ice cream to finish things off. Matcha still isn 't my cup of tea (pun intended), and the portion size was a little on the small size, but it still tasted lovely and 'different ' overall. Will definitely be back to try out their sushi!

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!
