Great little hidden spot just off the mall. Had prawns, beans, pork and scallops. The food was all delicious. It's a pretty small restaurant. Would suggest getting there around 6pm as people were being turned away because they filled up so quickly. You can put your name down on a waiting list though, but they don't take bookings.Plenty of places around to grab a drink while you wait for a table to be ready for you.

A recommendation and a very good one. A small intimate restaurant that offers lovely Japanese cuisine with good variety. We chose to share our dishes but that is an individual choice. Wine selection good. We didn't order all at once as if you do it comes all at once !! Recommend order 2 dishes at a time and then just keep going until you are full. Tongatsu and Eggplant were my standouts ! Would definitely go back.

It used to be a regular restaurant style but its been changed up and is now more like a food court. It really feels like it has become more "grab and go" rather being able to sit and enjoy your mea with service. BUT, the food is still really really good. Just the overall experience is not as good as it used to be. If you want your food yummy and fast then its your place... not so much if you want to linger and chat!
