   Been here a couple of times in the last few years and was consistently a great experience. Food is a highlight - awesome range from numerous set menu platters to noodle/rice dishes, sushi, and appetisers. Service was pretty solid, and a good social atmosphere (a little loud chatter at times, but still nice especially dining in groups).

   Quite expensive for what you get - I spent $32 for a bento meal and was given five very thin and small slices of sashimi and a spoonful of teriyaki chicken in terms of proteins. The starters looked and tasted like the frozen kind - not fresh or hand made at all. My friends noodle dishes looked awful. In general the sauces were all very sweet and lacked a depth and complexity of flavour. Overall I think this place has seen better days and might be struggling to provide good fresh food for a dwindling crowd. The decor is tired, it’s a large draughty place and the plants and shelves looked in need of a dusting. The service however was very good.

   The best place for big group dinners. Went on a Saturday night and the place was packed-had a great energy. The staff are very professional. They write down you name & order to ensure everyone gets the right thing. Food was alright- felt like the miso soup and the sauce on the grilled fish was overly sweet. But liked the crunchy prawn dumplings. Will definitely be back for future group celebrations

   The BEST Japanese in Wellington. I visited from Australia a few weeks ago & I'm still thinking about the incredible food... I will definitely be back one day! The ladies who served us were super lovely & had great service :)

   Awesome place with outstanding service and the vibes are *chefs kiss* Don't get me wrong food is awesome but servings are a bit small so definitely recommend getting a starter if you have a big appetite

   Value was pretty good, you get a lot of food for the price. So if you’re hungry this could be a great option. However unagi was very rubbery and teriyaki chicken was very underwhelming. Not very authentic. But I appreciate the large menu with lots of combinations. Seems more like a BYO place more than anything.

   Somewhat of a mixed experience. Google review are pretty accurate here. Nothing bad but somewhat underwhelming. Sushimi was not great. Prawn gyoza and takoyaki balls were fantastic. Good chicken karaage and teriyaki salmon was great. Staff were ok. Very busy place, a little canteen like and very cold! We would return but not in a hurry. Prices were fine.

   Good place to visit. Wanted to try for a while. The place is very big and can suit large parties. Tried few things: edamami, aged dashi tofu, and two sets : bbq beef and katsu set. Edamami and aged tofu were delightful ! Very well seasoned edamame was great for start. Tofu was delicious. Very crispy outside and silky inside. I was very pleased. The set were a nice combo: miso soup, rice, and salad, and whatever meal you have chosen. Bbq beef was nice. Thinly sliced, well seasoned, and hot. I thought katsu could be better. It seemed it was little bit overfried. The servise was friendly. They do have specials there on Tuesday, 2 for 1 bento, which we didnt get. But seems like people were coming for that and they had 2 large parties. I thought its a good place but somehow it seemed that they little bit struggle to get customers. The food is good ! Don’t know why I felt this way. Ah ! If you visit, take a jacket with you. Its a little bit cold inside.
