Our wish list was to have sushi and this place did not fail. It does not get any better, the service and mazing food was delicious. I would go there everyday if I was living in Nelson, but sadly will treasure the memories.It was nice to see that vegetarian option was available for the guest who sat next to me, would be great to see more people visit this amazing bistro. Thank you Youki and team.

Very satisfying lunch. Quantity was only just enough but great beef and salmon donburi. Service was fast and the table well cleaned between customers. It's a busy place with a queue of customers and a shortage of seats at times. Very authentic

Been here a few times and wanted to say the reason I come back is that the sushi is tasty, the place is well laid out, the service is great and that's all you can ask for. Keep it up. Love the Miso soup in particular and the crispy chicken.

I work nearby. The sushi I always free and now they offer gf soy sauce too which saves me having to bring my own to work! Miso soup was GF too, the only one in town I think. Staff are always smiley and helpful. I come here all the time for a quick lunch.
