Read moreGood location and friendly service, but the sushi deal was a huge letdown. We asked if we could have a more traditional sushi experience, and the waitress told us it wasn't possible with the menu deal. Instead, we had to pick from other options, so we chose the 24 piece traditional sushi and the 24 piece sashimi moriawase.
Unfortunately, what we got wasn’t even close to what we expected. The sushi was okay in terms of taste, but it was far from traditional. It seemed like they simply removed the sauces from the fusion version and kept everything else. Same plating, same over the top presentation with small pieces of sashimi. This was not what we wanted when we asked for traditional sushi.
The sashimi moriawase was another issue. It came with a large, barely cut piece of salmon that I had to ask for a knife and fork to cut, which was frustrating... I mean... it's sashimi. There were also propper sized pieces of sashimi and, to make up the numbers for the "24 pieces", there was a single shrimp chopped into tiny bits, which didn’t even come close to feeling like a proper portion.
Overall, the meal wasn't bad in terms of taste, but it was incredibly disappointing. The experience was nothing like what we were led to believe it would be, and I felt like we got very little value for what we paid. The deal was misleading, and it just didn’t deliver on any level... definitely not the traditional sushi experience we...
Read moreSuperlative Sushi.
This was really a very wonderful eating experience. We arrived a bit too early for the amazing all you can eat option and the server seated us and offered us drinks. Then Dada from Brazil helped us understand the situation better, and this was so helpful to us. Once we hat a drink, João described each item in detail and of course we opted for the 'all you eat dinner'
We ordered tempura with the starter, and the starter of scallop, cucumber salad and gyoza was lovely. The tempura was tasty. The cheese tekpura was new to us, but lovely.
Then arrived the 'Combinado' a wonderful platter of sushi with dry ice rolling off, it was stunningly incredible. And so tasty!
We loved the wide and flavoursome selection. So much so we ordered the platter again... And devoured the delicious delicacies a second time!
We were delighted with Sushi that was not known to us, incredible chefs here, for sure.
The Okanonmiyaki is very interesting, with a fascinating history.
The 'seeet set' with cream cheese, strawberry and compote and salmon was mind blowingly good. Who knew? Great work. Thank you.
Really lovely restaurant, stylishly set out, loveky relaxed atmosphere and a fun and welcoming team, with incredibly good, fresh sushi.
Dada agd João were fabulous to us, such a welcome.
