We were lucky they could squeeze us in just before 6pm, it was busy. The farm to table concept is great. Let the ingredients speak for themselves. Best described as Japanese western fusion. Really delicious. Lovely atmosphere. Recommended the karaage chicken, tomato gratin, sashimi and bamboo. Nice break from the more traditional Japanese cuisine. English menu available. Helpful and patient staff. Frequented by locals.

Thank god I found this place. The food, atmostphere, service- everything was impeccable. I wanted to visit once more before I left but I just couldn’t. I was there alone but they were still very nice and make the portion little so I can try different kinds. Food was real fresh and tasty and staffs were very helpful. Highly recommended

My omelet took an hour to arrive. Overall, not happy with my visit to this restaurant, although the seating looks nice and staff was friendly in communication. Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3
