An excellent experience. We enjoyed the sumptuous 4 courses including the tempura prawns & fishcakes, 16 pieces of top quality sushi, 2 varieties of chicken dishes with noodles, finished off with a creamy coconut ice cream.

Read full reviewAn excellent experience. We enjoyed the sumptuous 4 courses including the tempura prawns & fishcakes, 16 pieces of top quality sushi, 2 varieties of chicken dishes with noodles, finished off with a creamy coconut ice cream. The waiter was attentive and eager to please. Plenty of food, we arrived ravenous & left full to the brim. A nice selection of wines to enjoy with the meal. Unfortunately being seated outside the restaurant we had 2 competing sound systems to deal with but this was only disturbing some of the time, otherwise the ambience was relaxed & inviting.
All round a great evening out.
Friendly excellent service. An outstanding meal enjoyed by 2 couples
Food was good and portion sizes were large. The main dishes had the perfect amount of spicy kick!
The food was great, staff were attentive. We'd certainly go back.
