Description

Nestled in the bustling Chapel Street, this long-standing Japanese restaurant has been a favourite for over three decades. Patrons appreciate the fresh and generous portions of sushi, teppanyaki, and gyoza, while the informal atmosphere fosters a sense of warmth and friendliness. However, the service can be hit or miss, often marked by busy staff and a lack of attention to detail. Despite the outdated décor and occasional mix-ups with orders, the restaurant remains popular for its reasonable prices and vibrant location. Diners seeking authentic Japanese cuisine at a good value may still find satisfaction here, though expectations should be tempered.
