Awesome place. Food price is reasonable. Ambience is bright clean and insta worth. We celebrated our daughter'S birthday and the staff sang and gave her a dance. Love it.

Fantastic salmon sashimi - few other places have such good quality; fresh, sweet with generous cuts. The food here is generally good, been a favourite eatery of mine since it opened. If I had a complaint, it is that the restaurant has forced the use of its app to order and collect points, but the app itself is not user-friendly. It would be great if menu items could be found using a search bar, rather than manually scrolling through various categories and not finding the menu item (e.g. to think okonomiyaki is in the pizza section )

Food was good but service was superb and tiptop! The crew made our dining experience a super special and enjoyable one for our mom. Thank you for celebrating her belated mother’s day and birthday in advance with the beautiful team song and decorations! Totally exceeded our expectations tonight and we are very grateful for the crew tonight. Also i would like to specially thank Mr Krishna for his professionalism and dedication at work. Hardly come back to KL with such a great service provider personality and i am truly impressed with how attentive he was while serving us. No call button was needed when he was around, he instantly knew what was missing on the table when we were just looking for more “wasabi”, plates for the birthday cakes as well as remembering our requests without having to remind him. Simple things like these should not go unnoticed and i really think he deserves to be promoted. Will come back again all because of the warm and professional service. Thank you all!

I must say, back again the experience has been pleasant even though I have not been here for awhile. Food remains good, fresh and affordable. Superb and friendly staffs. My hope is that some staffs may need to be able to communicate with more that just 1 language ya.
