What people say
"Given the large number of excellent reviews, we had high expectations. Unfortunately, the atmosphere of the restaurant was disappointing — the tables are very close to each other, and it was impossible to even stretch a little without bumping into items on the neighboring table. The food was rather average. We ordered several starters to get a sense of the menu, but none of them really stood out. The gyoza dumplings were presented as homemade, but in reality they seemed store-bought. 🥲 In addition, the lighting in the restaurant is very harsh and uncomfortable, making you want to leave as soon as possible rather than stay and enjoy the space. The worst food we have ever had in our lives was the bento box with beef. The sauce was excessively sweet, and the meat was extremely tough and chewy. After just one bite, we couldn’t continue eating it. 🥲 The best part of the meal was the Japanese curry, which I would rate 9/10."
