    Firstly, food was fantastic. Chef is a master craftsman, coupled with delicious flavours and excellent portion size. Waiter was very friendly and very respectful. But unfortunately this was the only positive part of our dining experience. The ambience was very loud and crying babies with parents who didn't seem to make an effort to comfort the child. Dinner service for an establishment charging high end prices should always have restrictions on children below a certain age. The service was extremely slow. Within the first hour, we had only been served our entree for the set menu and the whole service took 2.5h. The restaurant did not seem overly busy with lots of staff on hand which didn't make sense as to why our food took so long. Amazing food, with so much potential but the service and ambience does not reflect the fine dining experience expected with the prices charged.

    The food was exquisite and the Japanese beer menu was extraordinary. The sashimi was melt in your mouth, wagyu was oh so good. Our waitress had fun with our humour. A good vibe, no pretence & quality service & fellow diners. Defo be back!

    Absolutely outstanding. The service and food were impeccable. Good atmosphere. We had the degustation and two in our party were vegetarian and the selections were fragrant and tasty and such high quality. The corn ribs, sushi and Yuzu dessert were a highlight and the sashimi plate was so fresh. Cannot recommend enough.

    We came for NYE dinner with the set menu. We loved that they accommodated to all our dietary requirements especially in instances we thought they couldn't. Thank you so much to the staff who served us and for keeping the restaurant open till we (the last ones!) had finished our meals - without rushing us too. Would highly recommend!

    This was a really wonderful experience. The flavor and ingredient combinations were creative and dishes extremely well executed. I’m a vegetarian and a vegan chef and would highly recommend Bincho Boss.. We had the eggplant which was perfect and like the crème brûlée of eggplants! The inari maki and the grilled asparagus.. but I wouldn’t hesitate to try any of the other dishes these were totally on point. The pickles were amazing and a must!
