Our second times here. Good service. Japanese curry is surprisingly good. Car park at the back of restaurant.

Stumbled upon this sushi spot on our way home the food was amazingly refreshing. Got the avocado, cream cheese sushi on their veggie menu and kanpai cold ramen with salmon, octopus, cucumber, and so much more. It was really refreshing. Also, the service was really good. Barely any wait and no reservations. 100% would recommend.

Rating almost 5-star because teppanyaki wasn’t what I had expected - meat grilled with the legendary sauce that made it tasty…however, the wasabi tasted legit and maki had very generous portions of ingredient. The rice in the maki could be a little more moist though. Japanese pizza took a while but it was delicious :)

Our family of three have a delicious lunch; we've order one lunch set, plus various dishes including tonkatsu, prawn tempura, softshell crab salad, gyoza and "dragonfly shusi". We enjoyed the food and service. We definitely will visit again

Service here was excellent. Food was good, but they really need to ease up on the salt/MSG and sugar. Too many dishes were too salty or too sweet. Overall, I would recommend trying.

Nice small place in Soi 39. Garlic fried rice and the beef were great. Billing separates from the other connecting sushi restaurant. Grilled salmon got a way to improve as it's way too dry, and the cutting is weird. One of the stafcuttinvery attentive.

Wow! Had garlic fried rice with Wagyu beef, which was beef fried rice with a side of steak! The pan-fried gyoza were excellent also. The grill cook definitely has his game going!
