We visited the restaurant as two couples after hearing many glowing recommendations — and fortunately, it truly lived up to all of them and more.
First, the service was exceptional. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and fluent in English. They approached us promptly, and the ordering process was smooth and efficient.
Second — and most importantly — the food: this was truly one of the best Japanese dining experiences one could ask for. It was a 16-course tasting menu, with each dish executed to the highest standard imaginable. Some dishes were simply sublime, and even the ones we liked less were still excellent by any measure.
Personally, we didn’t love the restaurant’s interior design — but that’s a matter of taste. We understand the Japanese “bunker” aesthetic they were aiming for, but it didn’t resonate with us. Still, it didn’t detract from the meal in any way.
To us, it felt like an elegant, curated experience in a space where every detail — from the food to the service — was handled with care and precision.
We highly recommend this restaurant and would return...
Read moreVery disappointing experience for a Michelin star restaurant. Folks at the Michelin guide were asleep at the wheel on this one. The Sushi were a far cry from being quality. They were cut by amateur chefs with different thickness, shapes, and the rice was not formed properly. Only reason I gave it 2 stars is because the taste was actually good. The mix of ingredients and flavors were tops, just not prepared to standard quality. The service was friendly but clearly not properly trained. After we were seated the waitress opened a bottle of still water poured our glasses without even asking if we wanted still or sparkling. (I prefer sparkling thank you very much, not sure what you plan to do with that bottle of still). The price for the quality and quantity of food was a total rip off. After spending EUR 340 on the meal my wife and I had to hit up the ramen restaurant around the corner for a second meal to...
Read moreIt was the worst Michelin starred restaurant experience I have ever had. I felt so insulted, i left extremely upset. Such a disaster, i can't even believe the positive reviews are real. They made a huge mistake (it would be a long story), but that's not even the point. Everything was below average: -the communication (to book the table, special requests, etc...) -the food (wagyu beef from Spain, just a joke) -the staff/service -the prices -the place (old, cheesy decor, not even really clean) -and even the toilets... Avoid at all costs!!!! I'm going to work hard to make sure they lose the Michelin star they have.
PS: I used to live in Japan, and this place does not match Japanese standards! And the "bunker / members only" thing is such a nonsense....
