We ordered - hot and spice sushi roll - Japanese style sirloin steak - coconut kingyoku - mint lemon The food was very delicious and filling. Amazed by the service and prep time. Our bill was near 7k for two people but it was definitely worth it. Will come back for more!

Tastes great. Good collection of sushis. We order a California roll and dragon roll I believe along with prawn tempura. Prawns were definitely king size and very delicious. Bit expensive compared to other similar sushi parlours. Seating arrangement are nice. Recommended. Besides they a served a complimentary orange drink which was quite good. Overall a decent place to have sushi, coming from a sushi lover.

Went there with a group of 12 ppl for a birthday dinner. Ordered 10 dishes at the recommendation of the server. All the dishes were amazing and were devoured even before the server could leave the room. Loved the fact that we were given a private room for our group. That made the whole night more intimate and fun. Service was top-notch. Fast, polite, and friendly servers. There was not one dish that overshone among the rest as all of them were very delicious. But I personally would highly recommend the Salmon Philadelphia Takosu and Prawb fritters. For sushi lovers, this place is a must-visit whether for date nights or for friends/family hang out. The price is worth the food keeping in mind this is a fine dining venue.

Very nice and soothing atmosphere and the food was fresh and prepared with a lot of care. Really liked the fried squid and octopus and the assorted sushi and sashimi platter. I also had the Chicken Katsu Curry Don, which I personally felt was a little bit too sweet for my taste. But overall was a good experience and the waiter was helpful with choices and recommendations. Price wise, of course Japanese cuisine in Dhaka is never cheap but overall it was a good experience.

**RECOMMENDED** Gave 3* but the restaurant is worth the recommendation AMBIANCE: let's be honest, people, who are no longer under 30, are definitely looking for quieter places in Dhaka, right? This restaurant will serve you this. It's a small place but has a very good ambiance. Spaces can be a little too tidy but neatly done. *What i didn't like is I wanted a bigger table as the table was small and I was really struggling with the food and plates on the table, they simply refused to move me to a bigger table even though it was available and the restaurant was practically empty. I asked twice. Third time when I complained about it, one waiter said if I asked for it they could arrange but the other waiter said table was reserved which was a lie. there was no reservation and a random two people then occupied it.* FOOD: Food is excellent I must say.sashimi was good, so was the octopus 🐙 and squid 🦑 fry. Not chewy like the way other restaurants serve. Tasted real good and flavorsome. Ramen was brilliant and drinks was good too. Even the soaked ginger and the wasabi they serve was real good. I'm going there again. PRICE: price is okay compared to quality of the food. They certainly will not serve generous amount of food against price, but I couldn't complain either.
