   Food was amazing. Service not so great which is a shame. We didn’t order more food despite being hungry because it was so slow

   The food there is incredible, would happily go back and recommend for the food alone. However both times I have been to this restaurant I have found some of the staff rude. This could be an amazing place but some team members including managers need to step up and do better. I would be hesitant to return again due to this.

   Wonderful experience at lunch time. Brilliant customer service, smiling, attentive service (who also respected the need for some distance), and great banter. Lovely Bento Box, unique and delicious from the perspective of a seasoned eater of what Brighton has to offer for Japanese cuisine. Don’t underestimate this hidden gem; I am already planning my next visit.

   We've been here before and had dinner to celebrate a birthday on this occasion. Lovely food: the tempura and the dashi tofu were real stars! Really nice atmosphere as always and nice staff.

   I'd heard great things and it lived up to our expectations. The food is delicious, the cocktails even more so. The oyster mushrooms and the deconstructed cheesecake were incredible. We went early evening before a film and I already want to go back when the evening is in full swing.

    A really special evening in a beautiful setting. Food was absolutely delicious, creative and beautifully presented. Up there with some of my best Japanese meals. Every detail attended to from beautiful crockery and glassware, cloth napkins, quality chopsticks, excellent drink selection. And a stunning ambience with really private table arrangements. Loved it and will definitely return

    The food was tasty but expensive. The small plates were mostly £7-£8 each but generally a little scatter of things which were in no way filling. We ordered a sushi dish which was supposed to be 8 pieces but they only gave us 6. I would go back to try the curries next time.

    Best service I have had in a long time, it was a very enjoyable experience. The sweet potato patty that comes with the kastu style curry was truly incredible, and the Inari was the first time my (carnivore) partner has enjoyed tofu! The desserts were a real highlight, the deconstructed cheesecake was just unreal. We had the shibui cocktails which were a real treat as well.

    The food was so well priced for how tasty and unique it was. The speed of the food coming out was also incredibly quick. One thing I will say is that I did book to eat in the standard restaurant but we were placed at the bar, even though my booking did say it was for standard seating. Other than that, a great restaurant with some great and friendly workers!

    Delicious flavours but definitely not value for money! Small portions for all dishes (including large plates)! but also surprisingly small and expensive cocktails. Bottles of wine are extortionate too! Big problem with noise level caused by a group celebrating something at 5 p.m.! We had to re-locate our table due to noise level - we had expected a quiet, calm and peaceful environment as required occasionally by the older generation!

    Very welcoming and warm environment, especially in the evening. The staff were attentive but not overbearing or intrusive. Interesting combination of flavours and ingredients. You could tell a lot of research, care and attention had been put into the menu. We went for the sharing platter which was excellent but perhaps would have benefitted from more variety. We were slightly disappointed being sat at a table next to the bar as opposed to the main dining area but we’ll definitely go again as we want to try more dishes from the menu.

    good food, good recipes, mostly beautifully cooked in terms of flavours and textures, sometimes slightly over seasoned (could not taste the veggies but the nice miso-etc seasoning). Roasted Shiitake mushrooms were the best bit. VERY small portions, especially the "large" plates. We were hungry at the end of the meal, we were tempted to order something else but we didn't dare as we waited so long before the food arrived. Surprisingly noisy for a small place, we had to shout at each other. Waiters not particularly cheerful. Nice looking restaurant, lovely tableware and decorations, good location. Smart and efficient booking system.

Every morsel of food was delicious, the setting was beautiful and the staff were excellent. This will definitely go on the list of best restaurants that we have been to.

    Fantastic food. Love the fact that it comes out as it’s cooked. We all had different things and everyone was wowed. Service was very good. Great atmosphere. Good range of drinks, non alcoholic as well. We went early so it was busy but not noisy. Lots of space so doesn’t feel cramped. Highly recommend.

    Not what we were expecting. Vegan not vegetarian so no fish, cheese or eggs. Run out of edamame and only diet drinks. Guess it was our fault for not reading the agenda

    All the staff were absolutely delightful. The ambiance and decor was authentic and transported me to another land. We ordered a range of dishes without really knowing what they might be. Everything we eat was simply a masterpiece. I would have to say the watermelon steak was an absolute must. It blew my mind. Three meat eaters didn’t notice for a second that there was no meat in any of the dishes and were all incredibly satisfied. Food was very reasonably priced and I have told all my friends about it and will visit again soon.
