    My wife and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary at Marble Yakiniku, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was simply outstanding—10/10 for quality, presentation, and flavour. Every dish was delicious and prepared to perfection. What truly made the evening special, however, was the incredible staff. They were warm, kind, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. Their hospitality turned a wonderful dinner into a memorable celebration. Thank you to the entire team for helping make our anniversary so special. We had a delightful evening and can’t wait to come back. See you again soon!

    ★★★★★ We celebrated my husband’s birthday at Bansho and had an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the host was warm, generous, and incredibly knowledgeable. He guided us through the sake selection, making the process of choosing both our sake and the vessel to drink from a memorable and enjoyable part of the evening. His thoughtful recommendations also helped us create the perfect menu, with a beautiful balance of premium meats, sushi, and sashimi, all expertly prepared before us at the sushi bar. To finish, we shared a delicious dessert for my husband’s birthday and celebrated our newlywed life with a special sake recommended by the host. It was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. Thank you for creating such a special dining experience. We left feeling truly looked after and can’t wait to return. Bansho is a memorable restaurant and somewhere we’re especially fond of, having even received a voucher here as a wedding gift. Highly recommended.
