Outstanding Japanese in the middle of Clovelly. Amazing quality fish and food, sashimi is melt in your mouth. Only criticism would be that some of the portion sizes are quite small, especially to share between 4 people. Otherwise, well worth a visit for some tasty food. More

Enjoyed the high quality and delicious Japanese food. Make sure you book to secure a table. The twice cooked duck, miso eggplant, slow cooked (and wonderfully charred) octopus, and double prawn spicy (not very) roll delighted us. More

Absolutely unreal food. Had 7 dishes and they were all delicious. Only feedback is the gyoza could use a more flavourful bed/soy/dipping sauce, but still delicious. Great service, all round fab. More

A cosy little local Japanese-fusion spot. Service can be a bit slow and portions are on the smaller side. The pork belly skewers weren’t great, with a burnt and bitter taste on the first bite, so I wouldn’t recommend them. However, the … More

I am shocked! This place is incredible, I expected to pay double the price for the food we ate. We were a group of 8, and had a set menu with a plethora of wines and sake. Everything was delicious and super fresh. It’s one of the most affordable restaurants I’ve been to. Highly recommend! More

Dined here with my family of 4 with 2 teenagers/young adults. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and each dish was presented beautifully. We enjoyed our meal, the ambience was really nice and the restaurant was full by 6pm.Must book. My teens were hungry so for them the food could have come out quicker ;) More
