This is our regular for great casual Japanese food. Very genuine, very busy, very noisy. Always full of patrons from the Lido theatre next door, either before or after sessions; also popular with locals and staff from businesses in the area. Service is not traditional european style with entrees followed by a main dish. It is a tapas style service – lots of entree sized plates arrive as they are prepared, to be shared if desired. Can be chaotic but always fun. Try the warm spinach & bacon salad with the teppan grilled steak. Delicious!
We've been here a few times and the food is always fresh and good. Their bento box is particularly good value. The small one at $12 is really large, I couldn't finish it. Their other dishes which they cook for you once you order are really tasty. A great place to go in the mall if you want something that doesn't taste mass produced and greasy.
I've only recently started coming out to this mall, but I now make a point of always grabbing come sushi from here (even if I'm not hungry). It seems a lot fresher than all the others I buy (like St Pieres). But the service helps to, happy, helpful and good prices. If they don't have exactly what you want on display they'll whip it up on the spot without moaning.
