The menu offered a variety of Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese dishes. While the dishes looked appealing for taking Instagram photos, I found them to not be the most authentic or flavorful. The service was okay, but it seemed like the staff was more attentive to Asian students, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, my visit was decent but not as amazing as others had made it out to be. The prices were reasonable, but the decor was a bit lacking, with tables needing a clean and the floor needing attention. While the food looked better than it tasted, it would be a good spot for younger, Instagram-loving customers.

The food was decent, but didn't quite match the pictures and some ingredients were missing. The staff seemed uninterested in cleaning the tables and the journey to the restroom felt like climbing up to someone's apartment. The windows were dirty and the carpet on the stairs was messy. Overall, the floor was in poor condition.

The food is a mixture of Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese all delicious, and quite cheap for the centre of Nottingham. You order and pay at the counter. There 's a good selection of what the wee man calls 'weird drinks ' this is apparently a good thing. I usually have an (excellent) pot of green tea.

We had the octopus balls, wasabi squid and tofu, then the spicy chicken and pork dishes. All were incredible in their own way, we’ll definitely be returning and I’d recommend to anyone

Despite still being under renovation/decoration, the superb Tapas-style food at a reasonable price more than made up for it.
