Very average sushi! Actually it was more of a disappointment, since it has been recommended by people who really have some standard! It is Japanese food, made by Thai people! No offence, but to me it is not authentic! Anyways, the even bigger disappointment was, when I realised in what a dirt place I was actually sitting!! I really ask myself, do these people care?? The toilet is a better no go place! First time and definitely last time! And the last surprise was, that no credit cards are accepted! No cash! I was really wondering "where did I end up"?! Sorry!

Authentic Japanese kitchen with a main focus on freshly prepared sushi. We went for the menu that is worth its price. All fish entirely fresh, the composition of the different plates delicious for eyes and palate, a true delight.The place itself is basic and simple with very kind Japanese-only staff.Iâll be back!

The ambient is a little poor.The food only looks good but NOT EATABLE. They served my water dirty.The waitress came to our table more than 5x to ask a cigaret. It's unacceptable.Once I say maybe it's fine, but not even..But for the second-third-fourth and 5th time?! In the end she asked our cigarette pack, because she said she has no money to buy....Seriously that's the new serving method?I couldn't believe...I don't suggest for nobody.Greetings from Luxembourg

Teppan-yaki-restaurant
Reviewed By PaganMin
Honestly this is ridiculous.This is so far from anything that is supposed to be teppanyaki. As a place that is teppanyaki-experience only, it is absolutely awful. The cooks here seem barely trained in what they do, they just simply cook in front of you without any tricks and if anyone has had actual teppanyaki, itâs all about the experience. For one singular trick, a flambé heart, they ask you to pay an extra 10 bucks, what should be part of it already. The sushi here is god awful, way too large for a human mouth to fit unless you can dislocate your jaw, you can definitely see the sushi chef here has not learnt how to properly handle sushi. The rest is mediocre or too salty, and it definitely shouldnât be for this price. There are many cheaper and better alternatives than this.What threw me off most of all, is not only they ask for another 10 bucks for a simple flambé heart, but that they dare you serve you a huge chunk of cheap 1$ grocery store ice cream along with tiny premade half-stale crêpes.Seems like this place has no passion and is only money-hungry and feed on those who have not had the chance to experience true teppanyaki.

I came here because i read the many good reviews.Unfortunaly my visit couldnt live up to the epectations.. the staff was friendly greeting us and showing us to our seat, sadly after placing our orders we didnt get much attention by them from then onwards, us and also the table next to us had empty glasses for quite some time.It wasnt to full and i did see the staff standing around the bar a lot, so that was a little downer. Finally the food arrived and I was super excited!Sadly we were disappointed, we had the salmon Carpaccio, Gyoza ,karaage, Dragon Roll, Alaska Roll, desserts.Let's start with the Starters: The carpaccio was a bit thick for my taste therefore it reminded me more of Sashimi, the Gyoza was only ok, as it only tasted of salted pork mince,no other ingredients like onions or cabbage, as i have had before in other japanese restaurants, the karaage was deep fried so long, it wasnt only crispy but hard and dry on the inside, also it wasnt seasoned, so i ended up just eating it with the squeezed lemon.Now the rolls: I was really excited for the Dragon Roll, i Love avocado and prawns tempura! so perfect combo for me! so imagine my disappointment as i discovered the tempura on the inside was soft and cold! :( seems like the tempura isnt freshly made to order, but more or less prepared before the shift begins...)We also had the Alaska roll which as you can see in the attached pictures was more rice than anything else, really sad especially if you know that this roll costs 14,20â¬!!The desserts were not all to bad, we hade the Milkpudding and the Yuzumousse,the Yuzumousse bas basically a cake with yuzucream and yuzu jelly , the milkpudding was coconutmilk pudding with a jasmine tea sauce, which turned out to be the highlight of my evening.All in all a disappointing evening for a somewhat high price.Definitely will not recommend.

I live around the corner from this great little sushi place and have had their food plenty of times and no matter whether I eat in or take out, the food is always on point.Value is also great and waiting times (again whether to eat in or take away) are so much quicker than other similar restaurants. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
