Ce restaurants n'a rien d'authentiquement japonais. Les plats sont majoritairement frits & accompagnés d'une quantité excessive de sauces & de mayonnaise. Le service laisse également à désirer : nous avons attendu près de 30 minutes avant de recevoir nos cocktails. Nous avions choisi le menu découverte, mais il s'est écoulé environ 40 minutes entre le premier & le deuxième service. À l'inverse, le troisième service est arrivé seulement quelques minutes après le deuxième, ce qui a donné un rythme assez incohérent au repas. Cher pour ce que c'est. Pour une expérience japonaise plus convaincante, je recommande plutôt Biiru, situé à quelques coins de rue, sur Bleury.

Depuis que nous sommes allées à ce restau, les attentes sont élevées dans les autres. Nous avons réservés à ce restau sur un coup de tête & sommes retournés 2 fois dans la même soirée ; avant & après spectacle (ca vous en dit gros). Les plats fondent à la bouche, je ne savais même plus quoi choisir vu tout semblait très intéressant. & bon, vous allez trouver ca loufoque mais le simple accompagnement d'haricots verts était explosif en saveur au point ou j'ai songée virer végétarienne ce soir là. Il y avait aussi une belle variété de Saké pour une bonne dégustation. Le service était impeccable ! les plats ont été bien expliqués, & merci à notre serveur de la soirée Vincent pour la logistique de nos plats. Bref, vous comprendrez que je recommande & compte y retourner avec d'autres invités pour leur faire découvrir.

Super belle découverte. La bouffe était excellente & le service aussi. J'ai enlevé une étoile au service simplement parce que ça a pris longtemps pour avoir l'addition puisqu'il restait juste un serveur sur le plancher à ce moment là & que tout le monde partait en même temps.
Mais super bon restaurant. Je reviendrai sûrement.

Unfortunately chose the « discovery » menu & ended up discovering all the left over produce from the kitchen. So disappointed. I was expecting more from a 4.7 rated restaurant. Service was lovely. Atmosphere & setting is very nice.

This place is so great for lots of shareable meals. Everything is tasty & the portions are great for 2. We ordered the karaage chicken, the crab dip, the takoyaki, the ribs, the fish croquettes. By the end of the meal, we were so full but it was so satisfying. The crab dip was warm & flavourful. The ribs were nice & smoky. We even got some mocktails that were a special mix from our server! I would definitely go back, the decor is great, it's a good location for groups with ample seating, a large menu, & tons of drink options. We got great service too, quick & helpful & friendly!

Fantastic spot for some different Japanese options to your standard fare. We tried 5 of the apps & they were all great. The fried chicken in gochujang sauce is a must try. Also love the sushi taco. Nice atmosphere with the live DJ.

Sashimi excellent. Pork ribs aussi. Gyoza avaient un drôle de goût par contre.
