Only serving meals outside on the footpath and we spent the whole time waving the blowies off our food. My rice bowl with chicken was cold. We both had upset stomachs following the visit to this restaurant. The food is very Australianised, nothing like authentic Japanese food at all. I would not recommend.

Is not your typical Japanese sushi but takes you back to the roots of Japanese food. Fresh, Fresh Fresh. The Bento Box was my pick with sashimi of Benito Tuna, salmon, scallops and more delicious tasting foods give it a try its really well priced in comparison to mains you pay elsewhere.

When we politely explained this to the waitress and she took it back the chef stormed from the kitchen into the restaurant to berate us about returning the entree. We were shocked and embarrassed in front of other patrons. Never seen behaviour like it- except the soup Nazi on Seinfeld.
