It is indeed undisputable, tonight is not just dining, it is simply an unforgettable experience. Every sushi served for the night brings you surprises and a discovery of a well blended mix of taste and texture. And as the chef shared, the finishing will always be completed with the original taste of the main ingredient. Simply awesome and a must for a return!

Foods were good as expected. The squid nigiri was the best in my life. That was a surprise. Their sushi rice is very delicate and well prepared. Not too sweet or sour, which is a big difference from other sushi restaurant. Chefs were good performers but one apprentice placed a knife on the counter with the sharp side facing me, which is a really bad manner for Japanese. The main chef corrected her there, though. She might not be Japanese as it is a common sense in Japan. Since we are in London, I don’t blame that seriously. The waiters can be trained a bit better as I felt they were just part timer students. That might be because of their clothes. Overall the experience was great and we enjoyed the foods. After seeing the chef’s replies to bad reviews, I wanted to remove some stars. And they said Japanese people don’t want to hear anything about sushi from non Japanese chefs. It is not true and I felt offended by that. The foods price was fair for the central locations but I did not like their attitudes. They thought they were discriminated but it is their delusion. If they are confident with their service, they would not say that. I was expecting chef Araki was there but I did not get disappointed but after I heard the discriminating comments on Japanese, I did not think the restaurant is not good enough to serve people.

My fiancé made the booking to surprise me on my Birthday and I love every bit of it, the food, the experience, the service and the atmosphere. The fish were really fresh and each dish was creative and full of favours. However I did leave the place feeling slightly unsatisfied and hungry and for the price point I think I should be at least fuller. The number of nigiris were decent but each sushi were on the smaller side. However it was still an amazing experience, although I don’t think I would go back but would still recommend people if their had extra special occasion or extra dollar to splash out.
