We ordered: 8 pcs spicy volcano rolls, 1 miso soup, 1 tonkotsu ramen, and 1 veggie donburi. Total: £56.85
The spicy volcano rolls and miso soup were both quite basic. They were okay to eat but there would not be much to comment on from my friend or myself.
My friend ordered tonkotsu ramen. She appreciates that the broth was quite rich but a tad bland. The broth was cold. Having taste tested the broth, I think the pork smell was unpleasantly overpowering. My friend said that the only thing she enjoyed was the tamari egg. However, as it costed £18.95, we would expect a bit more from this dish. Coming back to our airbnb, my friend said that she didn’t feel really well after eating the ramen. I think it’s quite alert.
Veggie donburi: the toppings were fine and refreshing. I did enjoy the pickled. However, the rice seemed cold like it had been cooked for a few hours but not kept warm. And so the rice couldn’t blend in with the flavours of the toppings. Everything plated in the donburi seemed not complementing each other to me. And it was £17 for this.
Expensive but not too expensive, and besting in quality some other places in Norwich (haven’t tried Shiki yet). I’ve seen that they offer lunch menu for a decent price; definitely worth having it if you’re in town between 12:00 and 14:30.
Update: been again for lunch and it was also amazing. Had the pork katsu which came with mizo and rice. So so nice. The pork was tender and delicious. Had a lovely pot of green tea with it
We opted to share a mix of various small plates and everything was delicious, well presented and served promptly.
The drinks offering is decent so my wife opted to try a glass of the Plum wine while I stuck with the familiar Sapporo. We were so blown away by the plum wine we decided to share a bottle. It is the perfect drink to have whilst savouring the delicate flavours of the food, a wonderful balance of dry, sweet, tangy and fresh. The staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient. We will be returning again in the very near future.
We were upstairs and the decor was scruffy. I’m surprised they didn’t take a bit more care, particularly as the food is not cheap. Broken blind in the window, black plastic bag shoved up fireplace, tissues under all the tables to prop them up, dead looking plant and some stains on the wall. I think if they took a bit more care with the general presentation of the place it would be a four or five.
