    So loud you can't talk, over priced, and terrible service.

    Had I known we'd pay $33 in water for 4 of us, I would have gone thirsty.

    The food left much to be desired, along with the service. Thank God tipping is not required, as it was certainly not earned.

    Great service!! Fun atmosphere and delicious food.

    Came here with friends and would recommend coming back. The location is convenient but parking is very tricky. We ordered a 4 person dinner special and were very pleased with the style, quality and quanity.

    Not cheap, but we'll definitely be back and recommend this place to anyone.

    Four of us dined here on a balmy Tuesday night. We had a booking for 6:30pm and were some of the few there when we first arrived. The restaurant was maximum half full at any one time while we were there - I imagine it gets extremely loud if full.

    Our server was great, attentive as needed without being over the top. The Toko Spritz is a delicious drink if you want something light and fresh. My mum tried both the Bellini and the fig martini and enjoyed them. There was a Japanese German style beer that my dad + brother both thoroughly enjoyed and said was one of the best they'd tried. Only downfall is that cocktails did take a little while to come out - can't imagine what it's like when it's full.

    To the food. We ordered a number of dishes to share (the benefits of dining with 4 people)
    Kingfish sashimi with pork cracking - the kingfish was good but there was certainly no crackle from the crackling as I was expecting
    Chefs sashimi selection - 12 pieces - all extremely fresh and delicious as hoped
    Tempura zucchini flowers - good flavouring
    Tempura squid - loved!!
    Crispy fried tofu - this dish was fine, I wouldn't ordered again
    Chicken karaage - extremely crispy with delicious flavor
    Waygu dumplings - perfectly cooked and great flavor
    Black miso cod - bit of a disappointment. Not on par with the miso cod from Ichitaro in Adelaide or nobu Malibu
    Crispy rice skewers with eggplant - my mum was the only one who ate these - she loved them. Unfortunately the first serving had a hair right inside the rice and the dish was replaced - it happens but was a little off putting.

    It came out to approx $100 per head, so don't expect a cheaper meal. Everyone in our party was satisfied, would recommend for a nice / celebratory dinner where you're willing to spend some $

    Superbly delicious food: Japanese favourites with a modern twist. But a complete let down on service. From being ignored upon entrance, to a long wait for ordering (with plenty of staff and half empty) the service was a total disappointment for what could have been an outstanding dining experience. The servers have got to lift their game to match the fantastic creations from the kitchen.
