  “Me and my mates went there in May 2026 and were certainly fooled by the 4.3 stars review from Google. In my humble opinion, it deserves no more than 1 star （out of 5). Food wasn’t good. The contents tasted and smelled like leftovers from a few days ago! Also more expensive than others Japanese restaurants in Leeds. We only went there because another Japanese restaurant nearby was full. What a mistake! Would never go back there again and would not recommend any one going there unless you enjoy fishy, un-fresh, blend food and want to waste money for no reason. Also they had in store WiFi but it’s a network you cannot find nor connect. The in store mobile signal is rubbish too.”

  “The ambiance of the restaurant was incredible, I especially liked the live fish pond and the general aesthetics. I got the salmon roll appetizer and the chicken curry main and they were both incredibly well made, rich and very tasty (if there’s any feedback it would be they do away with the sprinkle of salt on top the rice; taking a top bite of that was salty). All in all an incredible place to have a meal for any occasion.”

  “Wonderful asian restaurant with a beautiful decoration inside and i like the koi-pond and bridge. Really great looking and extremely tasty food. Staff is very friendly and helpful in making a good choice. Great atmosphere.”

  “I went this evening for a quick bite after lunch and I was a bit underwhelmed with the food. This is my second time visiting the restaurant, so I decided to opt for the Chicken Katsu Bento Box, served with rice, vegetable tempura, fruit, and salad with the house dressing. The chicken and rice were lovely but for £17.99 I think a lot of more could’ve been done. The vegetable tempura tasted bland and the house salad looked tired. Also, I wasn’t really expecting to receive two piece of orange as ‘fruit’. All in all, it wasn’t the best and has put me off from trying anything else (which is unfortunate because their sushi is amazing!)”

  “We first visited this place three years ago and had the bentos, which were decent. The staff were friendly back then—and they still are now, which is always nice to see. On our recent visit, we ordered the full nigiri set, a bento box, and a chicken katsu curry with rice. The chicken katsu was nicely cooked, but the curry leaned a bit too salty for our taste. The nigiri itself was fresh—especially the tuna, salmon, and ebi—though the sea bass wasn’t quite to our liking. The rice in the nigiri was a little inconsistent, with some parts coming across slightly hard. Overall, prices felt fair, and while there were a few minor issues, it was a decent experience.”

  “Lovely atmosphere, attentive staff and exceptional food. The chicken katsu was light and crispy, gyoza were fresh and packed with flavour. It felt like we were in Tokyo again. If you want authentic Japanese food in a warm and welcoming restaurant than this is the place!!”

  “To say this was disappointing would be an understatement. 40 Minutes from being sat at our table to having our order taken is not acceptable. There is a reason we had a table booked! Not mentioned anywhere that it would only be a set menu for 14th of February though which left myself and my partner a little short on options as we are vegetarian. Starters were acceptable, as pictured. Decent flavour on the spring rolls and were nice and crispy. The button sushi had a strange, almost fishy aftertaste which genuinely had be questioning whether they were vegetarian at all. According to the menu though, they were. For mains we both decided on the Tofu Steak Bento box. I can't use enough superlatives to describe the tofu. It was the greasiest tofu I have ever consumed. Chewing down it would gush out oil. Lacked any other flavour and sadly, even the sauce didn't cover how bad it was. The rice was old, it had absolutely been sat out and pre prepared, it was hard as a rock in some parts from being left out. The tempura veg was acceptable but suffered the same fate as the tofu, being absolutely flooded with oil. The nicest part was hilariously the small salad which had a really great dressing on it which almost resembled pickled ginger and lemon. The Lychee Martini was great, which is probably the only standout of the entire meal. To summarise, for just over £70 for two substandard dishes each, not being given a standard menu and the quite frankly terrible service (bizarre that you allowed so many bookings when you can't keep up with them) myself and my partner are both thoroughly disappointed. As were the people who were sat behind us, who also complained about how long it took to take their order. I have eaten here previously and would say the food was fantastic, the atmosphere was nice and the service was good. But this is a day when it would be extremely important to some couples. To have the standards so low, it's bad. There are much better places to eat in Leeds on special occasions.”

  “This place has been recommended to my by one of my friends a while ago and I finally had a chance to visit. First of all, the atmosphere of the place is amazing and they did extraordinary job with limited space available. I especially like the fishes swimming around and their unique tables. I have ordered katsu bento box and really enjoyed the perfectly cooked chicken and rice as well as my first time trying the tempura veggies. I usually don't like cooked in any way veggies but I loved the way they made them. I also tried their raspberry lemonade which was super tasty and a lot better than any I have tried in UK and not many outside of it were able to match the amazing taste. Finally, I took away nigri and maki sushi set which was really nice as well. I definitely will like to come back with some friends and family next time. For anyone viewing the pictures, some may not be as clear as I would like as I'm currently having issues with my camera.”

  “Been visiting this delightful restaurant for decades. I'd say years but it spans over 20. The kindness and service from staff is wonderful. The food has always been top quality. Me specifically I like the seafood ramen.”

  “Visited for a family birthday meal and there was quite a few of us. Been booked for a long time. One starter came out then they started bringing mains the sent the mains back and after about 30 mins wait from the first starter coming out the rest of the starters came out but randomly. Once the last starter was brought out the mains came straight out so those who had just got their starters had their mains with them too. Hair was found in the sushi, the tempora broccoli had raw batter in it, it looked like a cheese sauce middle. People who ordered their food first was waiting 30 mins after the first lot had started eating. We did get an apology for waiting but you'd think it would be organised and it was manic very unorganised. The food was very greasy and just overall very unsatisfactory. We asked for two drinks and they never arrived so we didn't bother asking again as it was just too much of an effort. Absolutely gutted because we was really looking forward to coming here.”
