Great quality and decent prices. Came here randomly after landing and checking into a hotel nearby. We really enjoyed ourselves and food was quite good along with the service. As expected. Nothing too amazing but really good if you're nearby, hungry and need a bite. Highly recommended.

Expensive but definitely a visit worth. The sushi master make the sushi in front of you and prepared everything to the best. The service was awesome. But keep in mind the smallest 10 piece Suzanne costs about 8800¥
