Z	Zo Wade on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was a great experience and our food was delicious. We wanted to dine in so we had to sign up on a tablet in front of restaurant to enter our phone number. You will receive a text for when the table is ready. It was busy but only took 30 mins to be seated. We ordered the seafood tendon and the original. They were both great. I noticed right away that the ebi was amazing ...so much flavor. The egg was cooked perfectly and the rice was of very good quality. All meals come with Miso soup. The size was perfect and the sauce was sweet. We also had the strawberry cheese cake and matcha ice cream..they were small servings but delicious. Overall great experience and we want to come back again.
M	Melissa Fung on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There was a 40 minute wait for a table on Saturday even at 2pm! Ordered the Kohaku Tendon and combo'd it with the crown melon milk. The food was great, the tempura was hot and crisp, but portions were a bit small. You wont be full afterwards but you won't be hungry. It would have been nice to get a little bit more rice. The drink has a nice melon aroma and flavour, but it was too sweet. If they could use 50% sugar, it would be perfect. Still worth a try though and I would come back.
T	Tammy Y on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Food is really tasty but a little too salty IMO. Portions are really big, we couldn’t finish our food. Although I do think they could’ve addd a little more sashimi in the rice. Nonetheless It’s worth the price! Cheesecake was creamy ( a little too much personally) and pretty tasty. Friendly, patient and helpful service. Would highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you love some tasty fried food!
J	Jacky Ng on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Zen style decorations and dinning environments, modern minimalism Japanese style. Not too many choices on the menu but that’s easy to choice your favourite items from it. Foods are tasty but small portions! I hope they can put more rices in the bowl, definitely not enough for an adult. Miso soups were a little too salty. Highly recommended the honey melon milk, my daughter is a big fans of it. Recommended!
S	Sandra Chan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The food was good, but not amazing as anticipated. The tempura wasn’t greasy which is nice, but it also wasn’t very crispy which would have been more enjoyable. Also, for the price, there wasn’t a lot of rice, not enough to match the toppings. There was a wait before they texted that our table was ready…the ‘table’ was the bar with, for me, dangerous high bar stools. I mentioned this because even though I made a comment to the server that the seating is not ideal for an older person and there were tables of people about to leave, nothing was changed.
M	Madelaine Quon on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Was a very aesthetic place and a good chill spot to eat with friends. Was quite busy so make sure you make reservations ahead of time as people were waiting outside the whole time we ate (6:45pm). Food had beautiful presentation but I definitely was still hungry after. I’ll definitely be trying the milk tea, if I go again.. but I think I’m good going once.
J	John Wu (Bun) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ When I first came to this restaurant, I was attracted to their design and decoration. I never seen a Japanese style design other than on IG. I like it. The whole ambient and lighting is soft and calm. Sitting space is good too Food wise ; not my cup of tea. I found the tempura batter to be quite heavy. Opposite of how I imagine and what I had from other restaurants before. I imagine tempura to be light and crunchy. However, the mushroom is a wild surprise. It's very juicy. I mean you can't over cook them right? The shrimps, chicken and the other veggies are alright. They still kept their flavours. The chicken is almost over cook. The sauce that the restaurant provided don't have much flavour. But it gets real thirsty afterward Speaking of which. The miso soup is quite salty. Rice portion is consider small. But it's a good match with the heavy batter. You will get full for sure. The tomato is quite refreshing. But importantly, looks good. The drinks are okay. But the bottles have a nice gimmick I like the service. Overall they done a good job. Felt very welcoming. But some waitresses and waiters done a better a job than the others. I feel the passion from them. Really feel they want to help, instead just to be here to work Price wise, i don't think it is justify for the food quality. Kinda over price. But overall, should definitely come here for the gimmicks, and the environment. Would I come back again? Probably not
J	Justin Lam on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I really had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately I won’t be coming back. Let’s start with the good: the decor and ambiance is amazing. The lighting is soft and comforting, the wooden textures are cozy, and the dried grass hanging in the ceiling is very cool. We also fortunately didn’t have to wait for a table around 6:45pm on a Thursday evening. However, the food itself was less than stellar. I ordered the spicy kohaku don, and although it was nicely presented, the quality was just not there. Despite the shrimp being freshly fried, the egg was cold and soggy. The other pieces felt like they had been sitting for a while, likely waiting until the shrimp was done cooking. The chicken was dry and was unevenly battered, as shown in one of the pics below. The tempura was on the oily side, whereas I prefer it light and crisp. The sauce was salty and overpowering. To top it off, the rice was not cooked well and had been sitting for a while, since the top layer had dried out, but the bottom became mushy. You shouldn’t be able to pick up a chunk of rice like this! All in all, a disappointing experience to what could have been a very enjoyable meal. Please work on improving your consistency and quality!
