    Wonderful little restaurant. Clean, yummy food, awesome atmosphere. Only issue it is VERY warm in there if the temp is anywhere above 25. No air con. Which is a shame as it puts you off trying the ramen.

    We had king fish sashimi, a sliced beef starter “tataki”, ramens, and the yuzu cheesecake dessert. Loved it all and found the wait staff really lovely. We live locally and definitely coming back soon!!
