Reviews
From the bluefin trio, my favorite was the one on the far left — it was fresh, tender, and more moist, with a hint of yuzu flavor.
The Crazy Roll was a bit spicy, but just the right amount.
The place is small but clean, with a cozy izakaya-style atmosphere. The service was very good and prompt. I will definitely come back again.
The mango cheesecake was just the right portion size and flavorful – not too sweet.
When you first walk in it’s dimly lit and has the atmosphere of a small but respectable cocktail bar. It feels fancy but it was also strange why a sushi place would have dim lighting. By the time we left, it was easy to know why this works best for this restaurant.
– Had flies on the table behind ours
– Ran out of ingredients for an appetiser on a Saturday morning (we visited in the evening)
– Soy sauce cruets were suspiciously dirty and ours was not filled. Tried one from another table and it only had a few drops left.
– Asking us to order main course whilst we were still eating appetisers (we opted to order several appetisers first)
– Not selling liquor as they were renewing their license
– Some cuts like the toro were good, but all the fish was improperly kept. The toro was partially frozen when served, the other fish we had all had an abnormal fishy taste. The tuna was discoloured enough that I could see it clearly even in that dark restaurant.
– Portions are tiny like a fancy restaurant, incredibly overpriced, but the taste is horrifyingly bad. Every appetiser we got was lathered with cheap tasting sauces to try and mask the fact none of their fish is fresh.
We left after the appetisers and went to another restaurant.
I was so mortified that I refused to let the person who had taken us there pay for the meal and I paid for it because it was painfully bad and I just couldn’t bear for anyone else to have to pay for something so awful. We all had a bad time with the food.
Looking back at the reviews, there are negative reviews that I should’ve paid attention to. Sometimes when I see them I just think it is an exaggeration. It is not. This restaurant was recently sold to someone new and it hasn’t been that many months. So it’s unsurprising that the older reviews are much better. It would be tragic if people who come here genuinely thought they were getting decent fish because they don’t know their sushi. Please go elsewhere. All the other restaurants were packed this day (Saturday evening, the busiest of times), but this place only had a few tables filled.
The decor in house is absolutely charming. However, one thing I’d like to mention is that I love the artwork carving out “Kyosho” on the wall with the light shining through it. However, I would recommend considering laser cutting for a cleaner finish, it is hard to unsee those rough edges when paying close attention to decor details.
Unlike other popular Japanese restaurants, many of its dishes are exclusively created. What you think is eel rice is actually eel clay pot rice, juicy, and there is also burnt rice! Can you believe that ordinary edamame is actually scooped with truffles? Even sea urchins, I ate three different ways in one meal. Every taste is top-notch. Simple wagyu udon, in fact, every grain of wagyu is the essence, crispy on the outside and has the delicate and juicy taste of wagyu itself. According to the chef, each piece of wagyu has Japanese birth certificate to ensure the authenticity of the source, and I am too lazy to count how many A’s there are. The soup base is also homemade pork bone soup, and no pre-made soup bags are used.
