Great service amazing food. Justina served us and she was amazing along with what I believe to be the owner. I would recommend trying the plumb wine warm, buy a bottle and will serve four people. Excellent service. Accessible toilets available. Step free access to enter

Sure! Here's a polished review you can use: --- Review: I had an incredible dining experience at this Japanese restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with authentic flavors. The service was just as impressive: the staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. It’s clear that Sharof in particular takes pride in his work. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for top-quality Japanese food.

The food is great. The ramen is impressive. I have been in the UK for two years. This ramen is one of the most delicious ones I have ever had. The sushi is kinda ok, not that bad.

Beautiful food, amazing service. I ordered the super seafood bento box and it was pleasant and delicious. The food wasn't too heavy while also having a perfect portion size. My friends ordered ramen and they also loved it. Btw I usually don't like sushi but it was really nice here

Pleasant and very friendly staff (Moin served us) all inviting once you walk in and guaranteed to have food that'll fill you for the rest of the day (in a good way). Comfortable seating and the lantern display on the back wall is wonderful. Thank you all!

We came here for my elder brother’s birthday, without a booking, and were promptly sat. Couldn’t have asked for better service! A slice of cheesecake was brought out with a candle on which made his day! The food was great. I had the Hibachi steak bowl, cooked medium rare, which was delicious. Everyone really enjoyed their meal. Recommend highly!!

Took my daughter here as she loves all things Japanese. She really wanted to try their bao buns and me the Gyozas.. we were not disappointed. My daughter had the chicken option, and I had the vegetable option. We also ordered a portion of salmon and avocado sushi that was made fresh for us. All the food was served beautiful, was fresh and so tasty. The staff was super, very informative, friendly, and helpful. The atmosphere was very relaxed and informal. Perfect for a lunchtime drop it. Deco was a mix of fun neon lights and being elegant, with beautiful lanterns. It was our first time, but I can definitely see us returning here for a second visit.
