The meals were excellent and quite impressive. We had a very nice experience with the Japanese foods here. The chef was quite friendly, even to non-Japanese, and he could speak English, explaining the meals. The dishes were quite delicious and they changed the meals very frequently. Although the price might be a little bit high, the quality was really worthy.

First of all, thank you so much for the great experience, ありがとうございます。 Everything was great with the overall food and dining experience. Every dish has been made with great details and it was so great that there were english translation for every dish while it was presented to us. Food was fresh and there was even the fresh rice to bring home afterwards since we were so full! Excellent way to celebrate my wife’s birthday and they also provided the traditional Japanese rice for birthday. Last but not least, the matcha at last was also excellent as well. I can describe every single dish in this review but this could take pages to do so, so I suggest you go and book a table to give it a try instead. Keep in mind that one dish which is the grilled fish head that might has lots of fish bones.. so for those who wants meat with no bones, just bear in mind with that! Otherwise, you just get so full and satisfied so it’s all good. 🙂 Thanks again and hope we can visit here again soon and of course, Japan too! Excited to have Japan being opened for everyone now! Cheers!!
