Sushi was excellent. Noodles were less impressive. The service however was quite poor - it was almost an hour after we arrived before they took our order. Although this wasn't a huge problem since we weren't in a rush, under normal circumstances I would have been incredibly frustrated waiting so long for someone to serve us... Had a good evening overall in the end...

Very pleasant staff and excellent and delicious food.
We were given a table right at the back and there was hardly any light and a bit tight for 6 people. The staff kindly turned up the light but it was not the greatest spot in the room for a birthday celebration.

Lovely feel to the restaurant and attentive pleasant staff. We ordered an eclectic mix of dishes which all arrived more or less together, very quickly. It would have been much nicer if they'd been spaced out as quite a few of the dishes went cold.
Fabulous food though.
