"Excellent quality ingredients and very authentic Japanese sushi. Still the best sushi place in Kingston!
Highly recommend the Chef's Omakase sushi selection.
Tables are normally always fully booked so recommend to call and book ahead before visiting."

"I heard a good review about this place and came to check out but was appalled by Tempura udon. The Prawn was cooked not
Crispy and lacked firmer flesh. it was soggy and the tempura coating was more like a rice flour and very white.
The food was way over priced.
The fish was better but the sushi roll did not keep the shape as the rice lacked 10% stickiness."

"We recently moved to the area and wanted to try some new restaurants and this place will firmly be staying on our go to list. The place has great tasting upon and rolls but the big seller was the sashimi. They are fresh and they do not skimp out on size. We got the Obon sashimi set, tempura udon, salon and spring onion hosomaki and the dragon roll. With 2 drinks, this came to £40/person which was very reasonable. I highly recommend this place!"
