"If you're looking for authentic, freshly cooked Japanese cuisine, look no further than this restaurant. It's not fancy like the Ritz, but more like sitting at the chef's table with the kitchen nearby. The service was polite and accommodating, and the star of the show is definitely the food. The portion sizes are generous and the sushi rolls are large. While it may not be the place for a special occasion, it's perfect for enjoying great food and drinks. For foodies, this is a must-visit spot for top-notch Asian cuisine. A tip for the owner - consider playing Japanese background music to enhance the experience. Would I go back? Absolutely!"

"I had hoped to dine in with my daughter, but after finally finding a nearby parking spot, we were informed that it was takeout only. I must have missed the signs or assumed incorrectly. The restaurant looked nice and there were several employees working to fulfill orders, indicating its popularity. Some items were unavailable or off the menu, but there were plenty of other options to choose from. We decided on cake and ice cream. My daughter enjoyed the layered cake, but couldn't finish the entire serving. I'm not a huge fan of cake, but I found it to be acceptable. The ice creams were too rich for my daughter, but I especially enjoyed the vanilla and strawberry flavors. The chocolate ice cream was a hit with everyone else who later got a taste."

"Have never eaten here, but only ever heard positive feed back. Cousins birthday, I do not live in the area so rang to order some bottles of bubbles for the table. Only writing this as experience was very upsetting and I am still shocked. I spoke with a lady, explained cousin having birthday dinner (I did get name wrong that table was ordered under) so wanted to make sure was correct table. She said I was loud and shouting. I have a loud voice (nodules on voice box). But its also naturally loud as well. I do not raise my voice, it is not my style also my voice loud enough. It doesnt need raising. We finally worked out correct table, I then thought she had gone to get payment machine. But she just hung up. So I called back, another waitress answered. I explained previous call and again asked if I could pay over phone for bottles of bubbles. I was asked to wait a moment whilst she fetched the machine. Whilst I waited I had to listen to what herself and the first waitress were saying about me. Won 't lie, it was very upsetting and I 'm quite a tough cookie. Completely unnecessary and unprofessional as well as hurtful. When she came back on phone I politely told her I heard all their conversation, she went quiet and apologised then asked if still wanted the bubbles. I politely replied 'I don 't think so '. Not sure what to take away from this experience. At least cover phone or put on hold if your going to talk badly about someone who wishes to spend money whom you have never met............"

"We regret to say that our most recent visit to this restaurant will also be our last. We do not wish to lay blame on the new owners, but we believe they need to address some issues. We have dined here several times before and always enjoyed it, but our last experience was unfortunately disappointing. Despite making a reservation, we were the only ones in the restaurant when we arrived (party of 6). After ordering, another couple came in, ordered, received their food, ate, and left, while we were still waiting. Our food finally arrived 50 minutes later and it was also underwhelming. The soup seemed to be diluted and other dishes were not up to standard. We are truly disappointed that we will not be returning."

"Lovely little authentic Italian restaurant...a bit of a hidden gem to be honest. We went for a early Friday night dinner with the kids. Lovely fresh calamari and a steak with beautiful gorgonzola sauce for me, we also had a beautiful lasagne and the kids had delicious looking fresh cooked pizza. I m sure the gelato and tiramisu was lovely too, I just couldn't fit it in. the service was great too...very busy for take away too, although not disruptive."
