Was Anonym at Purple Peanuts Japanese Cafe a mag?
We called in here for a late lunch after we got off our train and booked into our hotel around the corner-we only had a couple of sushi rolls each, but thoroughly enjoyed them and appreciated the very friendly service. Other diners meals looked good, we'll be back! View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Purple Peanuts Japanese Cafe:
No longer open. If you want Japanese try another restaurant that is actually open. I am not being a Karen about this it is just closed down, so don't get your hopes up for Japanese fusion. View all feedback.

The TSUKE don at this restaurant was delicious! Whether you have it with or without rice, the salmon salad in poke style was amazing! The kakuni and teriyaki chicken were also very tasty.

This restaurant was a lifesaver for my hunger. They currently only accept cash, but there is a sign stating that card payments will be available soon.

I tried basic curry chicken and rice. Unfortunately, nice but the dining in area is pretty small, less than 10 tables. Don't know how they can expand though, limited space. I will be back.
