“Donburi here is really good! Thoroughly enjoyed it, alongside a couple of pieces of their sushi. The sushi content to rice ratio was good (they didn’t just give you a tiny bit of meat and way too much rice).” –Theo

“Absolutely fabulous, nice clean restaurant, friendly, smiling, happy staff. I had always been nervous to try the teppanyaki menu (where they cook right in front of you) but it was fun, entertaining and the food was delicious, you can always just order from the kitchen and sit on the other side of the restaurant instead if you prefer. Teppanyaki was a great experience and good value and fun for money. So glad we tried it out and will definitely be back. Thank you so much.” –Rose Allan
