Summary: amazing food, quiet, clean and cozy venue with great service. At first I was a bit skeptical because the place was empty, though we were rather early. Also, not being able to see the kitchen since it's underground made me a little nervous. But my worries were quickly and pleasantly set to rest. The food was served fast, the portions were good and everything was tasty, all for a great price.

A quaint, cute place for Japanese food, tucked away in St Martins Place. About 22 seats. 5 min walk from Highcross exit by Moss Bros. Tonkotsu is very good but the noodle too soft and doesn't have the sane taste as ramen. The broth and chicken katsu were very good. Now the salmon nigiri, too warm for me, I prefer from fridge as it warms up on table. A glaze on nigiri would be good. Green tea was good and strong. Dim sum platter was good, the shrimp dumplings are made in house. They beef rice bowl with butter was very good but rich, share with someone if possible. The dragon sushi roll was good too. A strong 4.5🌟 no pre added service charge, which is brilliant!

A friend recommended this restaurant, and we’re glad we came! We stopped by for lunch. the rolls were very tasty, and the beef bowl was excellent. Prices are very reasonable too. Overall, a great experience, and the cute decor adds a nice touch.

We went here for my birthday treat. Lovely setting, great decor, amazing staff, food was tasty - particularly the sushi/maki and starters. I ordered the bibimbap for my main and was super pleased with my choice, rest of the group enjoyed theirs but mentioned it lacked a little flavour and probably wouldn't order that again (I think they were jealous of my bibimbap). My son enjoyed his Ebi Furai and Chicken Gyoza the most. My husband enjoyed the Salt & Pepper king prawns.

Wonderful Japanese restaurant. It is perfect to go on a date or with friends. Sushi is fresh and delicate Japanese curry is really good. Dishes are big and nice. The decorations re very nice. A couple runs the restaurant every day with dedication. They can organise groups and Christmas dinners.

By far the best Japanese restaurant in Leicester! The food, especially the sushi and rice, exceeded expectations. Everything was exceptionally fresh and tasty. The restaurant is spotless, with beautiful decor that adds to the experience. The service was friendly and attentive. We were so caught up in the delicious sushi that we forgot to take any pictures! Will definitely be back again soon.

Had wonderful lunch at this newly opened place. Very cute and cosy. If you need war hearty meal for a cold day, this is your place. Food is absolutely delicious and worth every penny. The portion size are huge. I ordered miso soup before my meal and it was an xl size but i am not complaining as it was too yummy. My tae ordered pork ramen, seafood ramen, takoyaki and omurice with chicken katsu curry and everything was absolutely delicious. Will definitely return!!! 🍜

BEST sushi in Leicester!! Portion sizes match prices (unlike other sushi places in town) and the creativity of flavour combinations in their Maki rolls makes every visit exciting! Can’t wait to go back. I wish they delivered because I’d be ordering constantly!

I love the food. The service was great, and the wait wasn't long. My family enjoyed their food. The atmosphere was amazing: I thought I was in Japan with all the decorations. Would definitely recommend to my friends and anyone visiting Leicester
