“Asked if they had anything gluten free... Silly question. Most of it was gf. Chef Ryan was great." If it's not gf I can deconstruct it and make whatever you want". We chose pork spare ribs and lamb croquettes. It was great to watch a talented chef who obviously Ioves his work preparing our meals. Friendly, cheerful service. Super delicious food carefully seasoned. We will be back!”

“Very tasty Japanese food. I tried the chicken curry and fried chicken rice. Both very good.”

“Half crispy half teriyaki rice bowl. Well priced and well filled! Thank you”

“Absolutely delicious! The food was incredibly fresh, and every detail was well thought out—even the takeaway came with a clever chip cup to stop any dripping. I had the mix with the shredded beef and it was so tender and full of flavour—absolutely delicious. And the churros were a standout—soft in the middle and just amazing. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves quality food and great service!”
