👍 It’s good for special occasions. The food is delicious but the portions are small. It’s expensive we paid 75 KD for 4 . You need reservation to eat there. The service was okay. There was a DJ and we enjoyed it.definitely will be back. Overall it was a great experience 👍 People often mention good, service, atmosphere, small, great, restaurant, delicious, nice, Japanese, quality,

    Cozy Japanese restaurant, warm atmosphere and definitely a place to go. Try the crusted browns sushi, beef carppatio, salmon avocado salad, short ribs and the saffron rice! Delicious dishes and fascinating decorations. 👍🏽

    First of all the concept is really stupid. Tapas are small snacks served in bars alongside alcohol, the main attraction is the drinks and the tapas are just the side show. We live in a country where we don’t serve alcohol ( الحمدالله )، so the concept doesn’t really work here. The portions are abysmal and the food isn’t that good to be honest. I’ve dined in three Michelin star Japanese restaurants, so I know a thing or two about how the texture is supposed to be like and this is far from it.

    The food quality have gone down, long wait to get the meals, no starters (edemame) - go to somewhere else. Will never go back again.

    One of the best Japanese restaurants I have had in my entire life! Luxury place, luxury washroom and the food was crazy good and portion was super sized for light lunch during working hours

    Umm...Try this place if you are expecting overpriced dishes and a sweet potato lobster risotto that tastes nothing like sweet potato or lobster

    Simply amazing!! Every single dish is full of flavour. The food tastes like when we were kids, and our palate was still accurate. Or maybe not...maybe they are simple perfect and I forgot how everything should taste in a world full of plastic food. Trully recommended. You should get a reservation, because I'm not the only one knowing this secret...surely the best new experience in 2020!!!

    Nice place to visit as as of decoration and weather. Food is good, tastes good, SMALL portion of food. Menu needs to be bigger with more new dishes so customers could choose different things. Price is a little expensive comparing to the size of dish.

    Nice atmosphere, food is really good but portions are very small usually you will need to order more than one plate of the same order. Service is excellent. You have to book in advance.

  • 1/5 Samer S S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very Disappointing experience. Very slow service. Very over priced for the quality and taste you get. All the rolls taste the same. I ordered tuna tartar it tasted nothing. Portions are very small. KD 15 per person and not enough to make you full. Not worth it. The only good things is the fit out and decoration.

  • 2/5 bashar m. 4 years ago on Google
    Unreasonably expensive. The food is less than normal and the portions are so small. The decoration is not nice at all - I felt as if I’m in a storage- the service is bad but fast. Parking available. For me I will not give it another try.

  • 5/5 Aisling M. 9 months ago on Google
    The food was incredible. Best Japanese I’ve eaten and a good price. Each tapa has enough to share by two people. The bill was 25kdr for two including drinks.. we ate at a quiet time of afternoon but I’d imagine it’s busier later in the day.

  • 2/5 Eiman A. 4 years ago on Google
    For the price, the quality of food is not good. The chicken dishes was really bad, the fried chicken (karigi) was too salty. The robata chicken was tasteless .. green tea was teabag!!!!!!!

  • 3/5 Ibraheem R. 5 months ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, OK japanes food. The menu is limited and barley 3 or 4 type or sushi rolls, although its a Japanese resturant. The taste is good. Portions is a joke, you pay KD4 for a taco that is smaller than your finger. If you are here for the food, then you are better off trying other resturants, and if you are here for the atmosphere, then its a one time visit.

    Food was okay not at all special. All in all we found it very overrated.

  • 5/5 dalal a. 3 years ago on Google
    The atmosphere is cosy with warm unintrusive lighting. The service was friendly and their charming manager passed by our table. I recommend ordering the Flamin Tuna (my favourite) and the Crusted Prawn rolls. For cold tapas, I enjoyed the Air Bread Wagyu and the Salmon and Avocado salad. For hot tapas, I tried the Short Rib Donburi and liked it. I just wish they served decaf coffee.

  • 4/5 saad a. 10 months ago on Google
    We cane here as recommendation by one of my friends he booked it by phone iwas really hungry to be honest maybe that why the food was delicious i don't know we were three we ordered like 7 dishs the food portion were little small but really delicious the most orderd that i loved the lobster capelini ot was lime pasta but it was excellent the staff were friendly and helpful the decorations and vibe were great pricey but ithink it deserves it

  • 5/5 Joseph G. 1 year ago on Google
    Visiting a friend in Kuwait and he said we had to go here. The service first of all is absolutely excellent. Plus the food is very good and the way they serve everything lets you try some of everything. The saffron fries are amazing and the sushi here is some of the best I ever had. If you are in Kuwait you totally need to check this place out!

  • 3/5 Mishari A. 1 year ago on Google
    Overpriced with very small portions. 5 persons 80 KD. FOOD tastes regular. Carpaccio is not fresh, and they changed it with a new one for free. Chocolate pudding was horrible. The decorations are really nice with a good atmosphere.

    Vibe and dinning experience was amazing. Very calm and a good date-night spot. The food was also really good, however, there wasn’t a variety of sushi rolls to pick from.

  • 5/5 Razan A. 1 year ago on Google
    I loved the atmosphere and the food was very good.. the portions are too small and it is considered a high end restaurant.. it is suitable for special dinners and occasions 👍🏼

    Hostess lacks the reservation management skills to run this place. She may be qualified to run a fast food joint. Deteriorating food quality snd service! Never coming back!
