If you're searching for an authentic, high-quality Japanese dining experience, look no further! This restaurant exceeded all my expectations. From the first bite of the gyoza to the last spoonful of miso soup, every dish was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication. Let's start with the gyoza – simply incredible. The wrappers were perfectly crisp, and the filling was bursting with flavor. You could tell they were handmade, and the attention to detail was evident. The shaomai were equally impressive, delicate and savory, showcasing a wonderful balance of textures and tastes. The tuna sashimi was a highlight. The fish was incredibly fresh, practically melting in my mouth. It was clear that the restaurant sources only the finest ingredients. The vibrant color and pristine texture spoke volumes about its quality. Even the simple miso soup was exceptional, rich and comforting, a perfect complement to the other dishes. What truly sets this restaurant apart is the fact that everything is made in-house. You can taste the passion and care that goes into each and every dish. It's a rare treat to find a restaurant that takes such pride in its culinary creations. The service was also top-notch, friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The staff was knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we had. In summary, this restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience that's well worth seeking out. The combination of fresh, high-quality ingredients, meticulous preparation, and warm service makes it a true gem. I wholeheartedly give it 5/5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates authentic Japanese cuisine. You won't be...
Read moreWe recently dined at this dumpling restaurant and had a disappointing experience. We ordered the meat tofu and gyoza set, fried squid, a mixed noodle, and a cucumber salad through the QR code menu, which included pictures of the dishes. Specifically, the cucumber salad was shown to include cucumber, and we were looking forward to it for its refreshing taste.
However, when the dish was served, there was no cucumber. We tried to explain this to the staff, even though we don’t speak Japanese. What followed was shocking, a man- senior waiter (may be he also is a chef) who was with white hair, responded by taking out some cucumber from the refrigerator with his bare hands—right in front of us—without washing his hands, as we had seen him earlier handling various tasks like cleaning tables and opening doors for customers, so this was extremely unhygienic.
When we expressed that this was unacceptable, he reluctantly put on gloves and used tongs to re-serve the cucumber. The entire interaction left us feeling as though we were the ones causing trouble and that he was doing us a favor, rather than providing the basic hygiene and respect expected from a Japanese restaurant. We also couldn’t help but feel that we were treated differently because we aren’t Japanese. We have visited Japan over 20 times and this level of service is exceptionally rare in our experience. I read through the other comments and noticed that no one has mentioned issues with service. Perhaps we received this “special” treatment because we don’t speak Japanese.
This encounter has left such a bad impression that we will never return to...
Read moreOne of my favourite locations in the city. Amazing pricing for great food. If you’re lucky to hit happy hour the deals become even better!
Food here is amazing! They have many dishes and options. Me us are available in English and Japanese. Location offers several drink options as well.
Service is relatively quick, and responsive. Orders are placed through an app/QR code menu. Gyoza is delivered hot, fresh and very quickly. Atmosphere is cozy, inviting and a little cramped at peak hours.
Overall, one of the best locations in the city for quick eats on the cheap. Highly...
