Great Japanese food with a subtle Western twist. Our waitresses were pleasant and attentive, and they took good care of us throughout the meal. The only thing I could complain about is that it’s way too dark !! (at least downstairs). I could barely read the menu or even properly see the food on our plates… maybe I’m just getting old 😄 That said, I highly recommend it. Go there and you’ll have a great time!

Visited for lunch, having been here before, and once again the experience was excellent. The food was outstanding, with sushi that was exceptionally fresh. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a very enjoyable place to dine. The staff were attentive, friendly, and professional throughout. The restaurant is clearly very fortunate to have such a fantastic team.

The only place we trust for Japanese food in Bristol! We've been coming here regularly for two years and it never disappoints. The Volcano Roll is a must-try, and the Prawn Tempura is always perfectly crisp. The staff are super friendly and the 'cosy' vibe–particularly in the downstairs seating area–makes it perfect for a night out. Great food, great cocktails, and a great atmosphere. 10/10!

Came here to celebrate my partners birthday, and it was a fantastic experience. Service was very positive & welcoming, we were seated quickly; but we did book ahead, which i'd recommend as it was busy even on a weekday. Although the time for the food to reach the table was a little long it didn’t feel ridiculous and considering how busy it was I could understand why. The quality of food was top notch and we were not disappointed by the presentation, taste & feel of all the food & drink we had. My partner even got a free Brownie for his birthday which was a lovely surprise :). Overall it can be pricy, expect to spend £50+ per person if you want to fully experience all the lovely dishes, drinks & sushi they have to offer.

Honestly my new favourite restaurant! Came here for a nice meal out and I am still dreaming about the volcano roll!! The visit and food was beyond my expectations and for what it is, it’s worth the price. Loved all the food we had !! Drinks were lovely too- I loved the Yuyake. Think I would only want the music to be turned down a bit as sometimes it was hard to hear each other when the restaurant also got busier!
