Was just here for drinks and snacks , was blown away at how good the fried chicken and skewers were Would come back

This is a Japanese restaurant, but you have to pay extra for wasabi and ginger if you order them. It's a hybrid eatery – seemingly imitating Japanese style, but the ingredients aren't good. The food is expensive, but the quality is the opposite. Wasabi and ginger are charged extra (even though I ordered a portion of smoked tuna sashimi). The ramen was terrible; I left the whole bowl uneaten – the noodles were overcooked and mushy when I picked them up. The restaurant was messy; the area where I sat was where the staff left their trash and backpacks, and later the staff had to ask me to get them for them. The only redeeming factor for the 2-star rating was the decent grilled skewers and polite staff. This was a very bad experience. I recommend going to other, better restaurants with reasonable prices.

Beautiful restaurant. Delicious food and drinks. Will come back again!

Food took an hour and a half to come, staff seemed stressed and panicky. The food was clearly overbooked/ overfull without ample preparation and management, as the tables on either side of us took a long time to receive their food and drink. The food itself was alright but would have rathered worse food for less wait time.

very good service
