Reviews
Appetizers were just bland, yet we kept the hope. And then nigiri.. no taste at all. Not finished.. Our favorite dish ever is real Japanese toro. We thought it would make it up for us, but it was the worst, like a defrosted fish with this artificial stink taste. We didn’t even want to finish the rest of our sashimi and nigiri although we were still hungry.
The atmosphere and all the waitresses was lovely btw, unlike the chef. He completely ignored our feedback whic is really disappointing, especially given the high prices.
All in all, try some other Japanese and if you like, just let me know!
The service was good and efficient.
It is a little pricey and I feel they could offer green tea at this kind of mid to high end places to elevate the hospitality feeling.
– Service was amazing. Super attentive, polite and friendly!! 5+ stars
– Quality of the food was amazing as well, all dishes fresh and prepared as they should be. 5 stars
– atmosphere is nice and cosy 4,5/5
The negatives. Nothing extremely bad, but all added up result in my final score.
– Wagyu upgrade to the menu was not available (being one of the reasons I visited… But the other meat dish was tasty, so that’s fine)
– Sashimi plate in the tasting menu was poor. The fish tasted great, but basic selection without anything interesting to discover. Portion was super small.
– Wine was served too cold and had to wait on it even though I asked in advance to serve it with the meat dish.
– small selection of wines and sakes per glass, making it difficult to have drinks paired with the food.
– Wine price quality is bad with high markup. (certainly the wines per glass). None of the wines in this (per glass) list were really great, and all quite expensive. In terms of sake this is better, but you’d have to take 330ml
– Overall price quality is also not that good. Comparing it to the other Japanese restaurants in GM in Brussels. But it is easier to get a table because of this…
Expensive, but worth the experience.
We went there on a Saturday, and they informed us that during the weekends, “a la carte” was not possible to order, but their pre-configured menu (82 to 99 €/person). We must say that we never saw any information on this detail while booking online.
Quiet atmosphere, lovely decoration, good service, and tasty food.
The 16,5/20 they receive from Gault Millau are really earned & true!
Tasting menus range from 80-100 euros per person, with 6 courses: 3 starters, soup, main dish of choice and dessert. Main dish can contain fish, beef or pork; we particularly loved the tuna. Dishes are small in quantity and refined so you get to try a lot of them and feel full at the end of the meal.
