J	John Luu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went here for lunch on a weekday afternoon. Service was pretty slow, but the servers were pleasant. I came in because of the amazing menu on the outside of the restaurant. When they couldn't give me a custom order of tuna sashimi with salmon roe on rice, I opted for a simple salon and tuna in rice. It was $18.99 and the fish was sliced deli sandwich meat thin. The sashimi tasted average. Don't let the menu pictures fool you.I should have went to the other end of the mall and went to T&T for sushi. Only come here if you want to try the expensive cuts. Pictures of the T&T sushi section in the same mall included.
A	Angela Liao on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This restaurant is great for families with young children because it has a separate play area for children and offers decent kids' menu.
J	Jay Why on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The food was pretty good but the service wasn't great. I notice a lot of take out orders so I assume they are understaffed like a lot of the restaurants now. We were pretty much ignored the whole time we were there. The portion size was also pretty small especially for what they charge. The good thing is there are a lot on the menu but this is not a restaurant that I will be visiting often
H	Hayley Mah on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The atmosphere of this restaurant is definitely what catches your eye first. Dark colours but great lighting. They have quite the variety of dishes but what I was most interested in was the whole fish sashimi. On the menu it says “please as your server for availability” so when our waitress came in I inquired and pointed to the item on the menu. Fish of the day was shima aji so we ordered it. On the menu it says comes with 2 courses with sashimi and hotpot and my mom doesn’t like raw items so we thought this would be perfect. Our food comes, I eat the sashimi while she’s eating the other things and then they take the fish bone away and bring it back fried. Confused, we asked another server if our hotpot was coming and he informed us that our waitress ordered us something else but with the same fish. On top of that, the froi gras nigiri fell apart when you picked it up. We were both disappointed and had to go somewhere else afterwards because my mom was still hungry. I’m not sure why our waitress put in the wrong order when I literally pointed to it on the menu, so I will not be back.
P	Patrick Soon on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Huge selection of dishes. Good food. Fairly reasonable prices for lunch sets. Reasonably quick service though I waited like 15 mins to pay at the end (but they were quite busy), even though they have bell service. Two things of note: (1) the tipping POS conflates the your subtotal with your total with tax combined. So if you're paying via percentage, you'll be paying on top of taxes, which isn't cool. (2) Secondly, tables are very sticky here and the layout is very strange. Tables are on top of steps, so you have to be careful when getting in and out of booths. This is especially inconvenient when you come with older patrons or those with mobility challenges. Other than that, this was a good Japanese place that I will return to.
L	Lily Tan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I would come back, staff are nice and they know English. They can split the bill which is bonus. Our orders were coming out fast at first but slowed down and the vegetarian sushi came out last for some odd reason. Probably there were more customers towards our end of the dinner. I would definitely come back and try other dishes.
H	Huang Sally on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s western style Japanese restaurant. Services could be better. The sushi tasted bad and it’s not fresh at all. Convenient location with lots parking space at Lansdowne Center.
a	an chu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Came here with a friend for dinner on a weekday. No troubles getting a seat as it wasn't super busy. Pretty big menu and food wasn't too bad either. Got the beef carpacio and that was pretty good. Also a fish liver dish; wasn't a huge fan of it as it tasted like canned fish. Oysters and sashimi were nice and fresh so I'd recommend that. For rolls: got a mango paradise roll and a black sesame roll. My friend didn't like either of the rolls, though I enjoyed the black sesame one. Mango paradise wasn't that great as it had carrots in it; not really a fan of carrots in a sushi roll to be honest. Overall, enjoyed my time there, would come again.
