“I love kimchi pork bibimbap so I’ve ordered it multiple times, but today the kimchi was completely burnt, there were literally only two pieces of meat, and the food arrived cold. On top of that, I didn't realize the rice cake was a Little Moons and thought it was regular daifuku, so the ice cream was completely melted when it got here… I was so disappointed today.”
- Keira Havell
“Best sushi around the Colchester and surrounding area! Always recommend to friends and family as it's consistently delicious. Recommend the lion king sushi and volcano!”
- Yelyzaveta Chepur
“We ordered 4 different types of sushi and they were all delicious. The place is cozy with an interesting interior design and a nice atmosphere. The only downside was that the staff were not very friendly, and there was a sewage smell inside the restaurant. Overall, the food was great, but these issues affected the experience.”
- Toby Liddicoat
“Just love this restaurant. The steak maki is amazing! Yakiudon is delicious and teriyaki salmon was just.. wow! Not my first visit and is my go to for Japanese cuisine.”
- Loui Mitchell
“Great food and staff were very quick. Plenty of veggie/ vegan options. The food always tastes fresh and delicious, and they have a wide selection of sushi, plus other options like bento boxes and noodles”
