When I discovered that the restaurant featured a fusion of Japanese cuisine crafted by Chef Lawrence Tomlinson, I knew I was in for a treat-& it certainly did not disappoint. The chef's creativity & innovative twists on high-quality ingredients resulted in a vibrant menu bursting with flavor. Each dish left me eager to inquire about the secret ingredient that elevated the flavors to an extraordinary level, yet I couldn't quite pinpoint it. I absolutely adored everything about this place! My only regret was not trying a cocktail, as the ones I saw being served looked simply irresistible. You will not be disappointed.

Honestly really pleasantly surprised how good this was! The interior design is beautiful & well thought of, especially the sound system is pretty amazing. You can hear the music but also have a conversation with your friends at the table.
The food was really good as well - special mention of the Gindara, which comes with side dishes & rice. I don't know what they do with the spinach but oh my god, I need the recipe!!
My mocktail was also delicious. All in all, definitely recommended & service was great as well.
