My favourite Japanese restaurant. The teriyaki chicken is out of this world. Super fresh sashimi. I love the gong they bang as you enter & exit!

Do you love authentic Japanese food? This restaurants food was finger licking good! They even set up the karaoke for us girls to sing and dance the night away! What an awesome night out had by all!

Lovely friendly staff and really yummy food. The atmosphere here is loud and busy but still had a really, really great time. Can't wait to come back! 

Love this place. Do the gong thing as you walk in and make you feel super welcome. Great food and services.

Something different. Japanese Chefs will prepare for you fresh sashimi, yakitori skewers, sushi, tempura and much more. complement these with have Japanese tap beer, local beers, a selection of hot and cold sakes as well as the usual wine and drinks.

This restauant is famous in Epsom as being the BEST Japanese in the 'burbs. Killer vibe, lovely food and so close to the cinema! Try the sashimi boat and the okonomiyaki - and of course the sushi!

Walk inside the Sake Bar and be greeted by a traditional Japanese drum, along with a friendly welcome by the staff (who are all family it seems). Japanese people love going to a Izakaya (sake houses) where you get a chance to order mini dishes and share them with your friends. It’s slightly different to your average dining out, but it’s good to change it up a little!

A really cool busy place to come eat at. You can choose a normal table or to sit high up at an almost bar like area which has glass windows and you can watch the chefs cook. You get greeted with gongs and japanese sayings as you enter and leave. The yakitori is hot and always well cooked. The chicken karage is my favourite and their sashimi is fresh. While it's scallop season you'll get a serving of scallop sashimi, delicious! They have buttons to press when you're ready to order which means speedy service. 

This place is the business. Great food, fantastic atmosphere. Love it.

Always great to pop in for some gyoza, miso and sushi before a film!
