   I was disappointed since I read all the good reviews! But will have to give an honest opinion. . . Starting with the positives, the service was amazing and I really loved the takoyaki and takowasa (a little salty) but still 10/10!! But unfortunately was super let down by the ramen and kushiyaki set .. meat was so dry and was disappointed with every single different skewer I tried :”( The ramen was a complete let down as it wasn’t even hot. The broth tasted like it was only made with water + gochujang. Noodles were soggy and didn’t have the bounciness you would get from a proper ramen place . I will be coming back to give some other items a go next time as they have so many and will see if it is any better,, ^__^

   Has to be some of the best Japanese food in Christchurch! And PLEASE get the kimchi pork nabe with noodles, it'll change your life. The whole menu looks awesome, there's loads of amazing kushiyaki skewers (yakitori and kushiyaki are used interchangeably in Japan) and if you like raw octopus, then the takowasa is for you. The service was good, everything came as fast as the kitchen/bar could pump it out (the place was busy), and we had a great time. Highly recommend!

   We ran into this place last night and it was so delicious and welcoming! The place is obviously quite new and is super clean and tidy - I love all the vegan / vegetarian options on the menu as well. Thanks so much for having us! I wish you all the success.

   Come on Christchurch you should be lining up to go here, by far one of the better Japanese restaurants I've been to, Great selection of dishes, Nabe was a good size and had plenty of ingredients, the gouza is best I've had in NZ, nice kick with the kimchi, and only my wife makes better. The meat skewers are rich and have good BBQ flavour. Only one dessert but what a treat.

   Really nice Japanese restaurant with great kitchen and authentic vibe. Plenty of vegetarian options and vegan on request! Nice and polite service. Perfect place to share many small dishes. Food was amazing, think we tried every single vegan option. Gyoza is delicious, so are skewers. Recommend mushroom and mixed Vege one. If you want to try something different try Mushroom Nabe noodle soup. Kaiso salad is also yummy. Vege tempura and Agedashi tofu are average, but overall it’s solid choice. Make sure to make booking as it gets busy !
