I felt like this restaurant is fusion style, not authentic Japanese foods.
If you’re looking for higher end Japanese food, this would be that place!
The sushi were very fresh and delicious.
I love their wine and sake collections the most

This restaurant offers an authentic Japanese dining experience with fresh sushi, flavorful ramen, and perfectly crispy tempura. The wagyu beef is a highlight—tender, juicy, and rich in flavor, cooked to perfection and melting in your mouth.

The ambiance is elegant, and the service is attentive and knowledgeable. Whether you’re a fan of Japanese cuisine or new to it, this is a must-visit spot in Abu Dhabi. Highly recommended!

Nothing spectacular about the food, compared with other Japanese restaurant which is half price of it. Fancy place for hanging out or special event.
It's good for sake of experience in Abu Dhabi.

This is one of two high-end Japanese restaurants in Galleria Mall. It seems that locals prefer this restaurant over the other, based on my observations.  The dishes are more traditional Japanese rather than fusion, which I really appreciate.  Additionally, they offer an expansive sake menu that enhances the dining experience.  The service and the dishes were good, and I particularly liked the decor and openness of the restaurant floor, which created a welcoming atmosphere.  The bar and the restaurant's high ceilings also contributed to a feeling of spaciousness, making it feel less crowded and not bunched together

Amazing vibes only if the Dj played more Afro music it would've hit it on a different level! But over all it was a lovely night!
