10 out of 10 restaurant. We did the premium Nigiri and sasimi menu, and shu Toro nigiri for drinks we got signature cocktails are Akenotini and Passion-Rita well worth the money. The service was absolutely outstanding, all the dishes were amazing.

We are so happy we decided to give this place another try. We came here within two weeks of them opening as we live walking distance away. Well it certainly wasn’t bad I would say it was mediocre. But now this place has completely blown...Read More

I like this place. Been there three times, the sushi is fine and their other dishes are right too. Lychee cocktail is particularly nice and the boat presentation for sushis is quite memorable. Atmosphere is nice, good decor. Service is polite.
