“Genuinely had a Ratatouille experience here, I felt like Anton Ego eating this teriyaki tofu rice. Really, really good food, the staff were so nice, and the vibes were immaculate. Great veggie and vegan selection too!”

“The fried rice was really tasty, the beef was tender, and the sauce had lots of flavour. Good portion size too. Really enjoyed it and would definitely come back!”

“We noted the recommendation from ChataGPT, and decided to give it a try. It wasn’t busy for lunch on Sunday, and the service was good. The lady boss is well experienced, having run restaurants in HK. I had Curry katsu chicken with fried rice while my wife had fried udon with king prawn. Both were good with generous portion. The price is reasonable too. We also enjoyed the chit chat with the lady boss… the place is highly recommended if you are in Glasgow city centre!”

“Staffs were welcoming and so friendly ! We ordered some prawn tempura and salmon platter for 2. Tempura was super fresh and crispy. I never had this crispy tempura in the UK. So good! Must try !! Salmon platter was also fresh and amazing. Plus never seen any restaurant use this fatty salmon around this area but they do use really good salmon !! We really enjoyed it and ended up ordering extra two plate of salmon sashimi 😂 We ‘d love to come try other dishes as well! Thank you guys!”

Customer Review Summary
Sushi and salmon draw the most praise. Diners call the sushi "perfect" and describe the salmon platter for two as fresh, with fatty salmon good enough that one table ordered two extra plates of salmon sashimi. Chicken katsu comes close behind, served as a curry katsu with fried rice or on its own, and is called extremely good with generous portions. Crispy prawn tempura, ramen, fried udon with king prawn, a beef fried rice with tender meat, and teriyaki tofu rice also get mentions, along with a good vegetarian and vegan selection. Staff are repeatedly described as kind and always smiling, and one diner enjoyed chatting with the owner, who has run restaurants in Hong Kong. Several call the value reasonable. The one complaint targets the same salmon platter: a takeaway reviewer found the sashimi slices thin and small, some smaller than the already small nigiri, and could hardly believe how little it looked for the price. One reviewer also liked the music playing in the background.
