Average food and average service, not a lot else to say really! Strange location in an old house. Pleasant enough staff, and the food tasted ok but nothing to write home about - I've had better teppanyaki's in Sydney. More

Have been coming here for years. Now run by Kobe jones and it is very ordinary. Poor quality ingredients and amateur chefs. Sashimi wasnt fresh. Wagu was tough. Everything was flamed with orange brandy which was the dominant flavor. This was a great restaurant. Now it's McDonalds quality More

The show started. An 11 course was prepared in front of us with some pretty interesting cutting/cooking skills. Fresh scallops, king crab and the... More

Cute little place to eat, next door to Shangri La, love how its set up, conversation flowed and the food was yummy. Took quite awhile to be seated however even with a reservation but frankly we chatted and looked over the menu so not gonna say it was time wasted. For sure would go back. More

I love Japanese food and was looking forward to tasting this restaurant to celebrate some anniversary.
