    Really cute spot, highly recommend booking before arriving as seating is limited. Don't recommend parties over 5 persons and people that can't sit on low stools. Food and ambience were spot on for Japan is known for. Definitely highly recommend.

    We had a wonderful meal and evening at the Battersea branch. Our waitress (Nisha A) was excellent! Incredibly knowledgeable of the menu (we needed help identifying vegan options) and helpful in advising us how much to order. She was attentive and allowed us to have a really relaxing evening. We sat outside on the terrace and it was lovely and peaceful. The food and drinks were really good. Would highly recommend!

    Exceptional food, particularly the sushi but everything was great. The two of us had a random selection of five small dishes and one main and we were full. The view is lovely and the staff are friendly and helpful. There was nice live music. The noise was not intrusive and we could still have a conversation.

    Fantastic restaurant, situated on the River Thames. Started with sushi, which was very tasty and beautifully presented, then carried on with a mixture of sharing starters, my favourite being the bruschetta. Sat outside on the Waterfront Terrace overlooking the River Thames, sipping great cocktails, and watching the sun set over the river. Highly recommend it, good service, good food and lovey cocktails.
