  “I’ve been here a couple times when I’ve been in the area and have always been pleased. Huge portions, and I think the prices are very reasonable! Wish I lived near here so I could try more of the menu. There is something for everyone to enjoy. Always advise booking and looking through the menu first because there is a lot of choice.”

  “We had a fantastic time dining here in Southsea. Everything was prepared beautifully and tasted incredibly fresh. The sushi presentation on the wooden board was a particular highlight. You can really tell the quality of the ingredients in every bite. We also loved the gyoza, which were perfectly crispy and served with a delicious dipping sauce. It is rare to find such consistent quality in the area. We will definitely be back for another meal very soon.”

  “Great, authentic, Japanese food! Sorry...no photos of the food as literally forgot as couldn't wait to eat it!!! Southsea Maki & Sakura Maki particularly delicious (ordered seconds!) but all of the dishes we had were amazing and great value too. Nice booths to sit in and the staff were all very friendly, attentive and helpful. Definitely worth a visit...”

  “Went there for a birthday celebration and found the food to be amazing, the ramen was delicious and so was the curry. There was a wide selection of food with great pricing (sushi was a bit pricy but that was expected). The only downside was the staff being hard to get a hold of if we needed anything, as they only came to tables who had ordered something so we had to flag one down who was rushing to the back. Besides that we had a wonderful evening with great food and the atmosphere with the booths and curtains was amazing.”

  “I ordered food delivery from this restaurant, and the food was delivered by the restaurant’s staff. It arrived later than expected—I had to wait for one hour. The food quality is not worth the price at all and was very disappointing. The soft shell crab arrived already cold, and when I ate it, it was completely soft and soggy, not crispy at all. The salmon nigiri did not taste fresh enough. Overall, the food quality is not worth the price.”

  “I came in here earlier this week with a very good friend of mine after they had recommended it as one of their favourites in the city, and boy was he right to pick it as a favourite. Every aspect from start to finish was absolutely perfect! Ideally we should've booked as it was fairly busy however there was a table for two free at the time so we were lucky, we also were lucky with parking as the side street round the corner was free after a certain time. Once we had sat down and ordered drinks they were brought out to the table reasonably quick. I found it somewhat difficult to choose what to eat as everything on the menu looked so good, but in the end I'd opted for the Beef Suki Maki to start with, and the Ebi Katsu Don with Yari Ika Tempura as the side. Every morsel of food tasted out of this world, hands down blows the commercial Japanese style restaurants out the water! The atmosphere gives this small traditional Japanese sushi restaurant vibe with little booths and drape cloths to add the sense of privacy, and every member of staff was extremely professional and friendly. I'm not from the area but plan on visiting again and I will 100% be making a special visit back here. I cannot rate this place highly enough, my dining experience was flawless!”

  “Went for date with my boyfriend as we really love Japanese cuisine. Place looks very authentic this includes small seating spaces. Unfortunately food wasn’t that great. Rice was plain (no sugar/salt/vinegar), set menu served different side dish (without notification), fried mackerel was cold & soggy. Pickles were not the freshest. Side salad was like from kebab shop with garlic mayo sauce. Good presentation but not very authentic taste. Bit disappointing. Relatively cheap.”

  “My partner and I came here for our first real date night together, and it was a fantastic evening, with lots of highlights. Firstly, the atmosphere of this place is great. A majority of the seating is booths, and there are curtains to separate you from other customers. This made for a really intimate, cozy setting, and a romantic meal with my partner. The staff here were friendly, and took our order very quickly, which I appreciate. All the food was delicious, and I have ordered food from these guys a few times since! All the sushi is top quality, and super tasty. The sesame broccoli is incredible, and they have a sesame salad with sausage in it, which is way better than it sounds! The tempura prawns were absolutely perfect, and the pork dumplings were some of the best I've ever had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who likes this area of food, and I will be visiting again.”
