Good atmosphere, good staff, fun and good food with reasonable prices. Really busy on the weekends, great for BYOs. Katsu is really delicious and loaded. Great atmosphere and friendly hosts.
It was average food. Wasn’t as good quality as I thought it would be and the food was expensive for what it was. The dumplings and spring rolls were nice, but again expensive. The Don bowls were ok but on the small side for the price you pay. I wont be dining here again, there are far better places then this.
You must pay for either 2 entrees or one main if you are doing a BYO and then $5 corkage fee too. Not great as a broke student looking for a night out on a budget. The food was nice but severely overpriced. I ordered the spring rolls which were tiny though delicious. Not worth $8. Every other meal was too small and overpriced. A group of 16 was sat around a table for 12 and it was very uncomfortable, to the point where meals could not be ordered because there was no room to eat them. Staff were a bit cold, they did have some bad customers but a smile and some time to deliberate when told about the two entree rule would have been nice
I used to really like this place, coming here quite often during lunchtime from Uni. In recent years though the standard has really dropped with the quality of food. It’s definitely not Japanese but Chinese cooking Japanese. The Yakitori beef sticks were too chewy and gelatinous that it was so obvious an inferior cut of beef was used. I wasn’t too impressed with the service too as they seem in a hurry to shoo us out from the premises as it got busier. Not sure if I’ll be back.
I hadn’t been to this restaurant for years and we decided to order some takeaways. I had the teriyaki chicken set, we also ordered the takoyaki. I really wanted to like it but the sauce on the chicken was gelatinous and tasteless. Completely lacking in flavour, and tbh there wasn’t much chicken. It had been filled out by a crust that was all soggy by the time it was delivered. I’m sure it would have been nicer to eat there. But I’d have to say, there’s probably a reason why I hadn’t returned to eat at this place. There are so many great options in Wellington now, that I guess we’re spoilt for choice!
Went here for my wedding anniversary. The service was amazing, chatty staff and great service. The highlight was definitely Teppanyaki Pepper Beef set and dumplings, so tasty and authentic. Highly recommend.
Have been here a few times and it’s a great place (and good location) to eat at. The Chicken katsudon is a favourite of mine and would recommend that especially when they have it during their lunch time special. Can get a bit noisy during dinner time on a busy night but that’s to be expected at a packed restaurant and on a weekend.
