Food - 8.5/10
Ordered the beef sashimi and oyster Motoyaki as I had eaten just an hour or so before. Friend ordered the salad, assorted tempura, and beef udon. Sashimi was very tender & soft. Very well prepared. Tempura was freshly deep fried, crispy and largely portioned and had a variety of vegetables not just one specific majority. Oyster Mototaki contained about 3 pieces medium size. Taste lacked a tiny bit of flavour, but was still delicious. Not too greasy. Beef udon, filled with tender pieces of beef with a hefty amount of noodles and came extremely hot.
Presentation - 9/10
Chef's did a fair job with the plate presentation. Everything was clean & crisp and seemed very precise.
Service - 7/10
Our server was nice and attentive who could understand / speak clear English as well. Although she could have asked us how everything was going after a couple of minutes and if we needed anything.
Price - 8/10
Nothing too pricey here. Price is moderately fair to the food served.
