We have been going to this great local Japanese restaurant ever since it first opened and it continues to impress. Although the tables and chairs are a little spartan, the welcome is very warm and the quality of the food is outstanding. Our most successful meals here have been when we have simply asked to be brought whatever the staff suggest (although we now have a list of favourite dishes which we make sure they include!). We can highly recommend the crispy squid with chilli, the dragon rolls, the Wow salad, all the tempura dishes, the black cod, the sea bass sashimi, the grilled aubergine and the various grilled steaks…we haven't had a disappointing dish here. It is also a great place to go for a quick meal on the spur of the moment – there is a good selection of bento boxes for those who haven't the energy to choose anything themselves. The wine list is unexciting but then Japanese food does not really lend itself to accompanying wine and you are better off sticking to other drinks anyway. We have never had any trouble at all getting a table and the bill is always a very pleasant surprise – highly recommended.
