This restaurant deserves 10 stars. The food quality is very good, coupled with excellent service from the staff. They are very communicative and takes the time to explain to questions. Price wise, it is also very competitively priced. Will definitely return often to this restaurant.
Sashimi salad still as good and large portion. Sushi platter was great too. Fried garlic rice flavourful. BBQ pork was tender & nice bite & good portion of fatty parts. Staff were attentive. I whatsapp them for reservation, very responsive.
Solid food , like I'm in Japan , the sashimi and sushi is dam thick ,value for money , local waiter is superb friendly and good recommendations on food and choices ..and environment is excellent..
Booked in advanced for dinner on Sat, and it was the right move. The place opened at 5.30pm, and by 6pm, it was already full. Classy and cosy setting. Service is great and the servers were attentive. Food quality and presentation is excellent. No wow factor, but taste is decent and ingredients are fresh. Overall a very pleasant dining experience and price wise, I would say it is reasonable. I would recommend to visit again.
It's a proper Japanese restaurant. Food variety and quality is good. The service are good too. The prices are also on he higher end.
Beautiful cozy Japanese restaurant. I strongly advise to book ahead. We chanced on available counter sits during a walk-in. We don't frequent visit Malacca so we walked in out of whim and got lucky. Staff were polite and helpful despite being very busy. If you can, try to plan your order before coming to cut back on the waiting time. The menu has wide selection of food. We thought we could eat more but surprisingly their sushi not only very fresh and delicious, they were also generously portioned. Even our baby loved her plain soup and rice albeit served very late. We will sure be back should we come visit Malacca.
My first time visiting this Japanese restaurant. Had lunch with my mum Was welcome by their friendly staff, the food was the delicious. Will definitely come again when I am back to Melaka
