Great service, lovely food but very expensive. Expect a 20% service charge on your bill too. It's a bit style over substance but the interior decor is insta worthy, the food theatre is also impressive with lots of fantastically shaped serving dishes and lots of dry ice. Cocktails are sublime but pricey.

Well, what can one say about this place? The decor is amazing and such a beautiful place, its sensory overload in a great way. The service Abbi provided was excellent, she walked through the menu telling us what each dish was like. We ordered from the small plates menu and wasn't disappointed the food and presentation was incredible. Cocktails and drinks were really good too, all in all it was a fantastic experience for our anniversary we'll definitely be back

We had just the most amazing lunch in the best seat in the house. Under the watchful eye of Buddha our food was sublime, spicy and had a great balance of flavours or tangy juicy and crisp . We ordered 8 plates and a dessert some wine and cocktails . We were served by the most wonderful gisselle who understood the menu and made some suggestions which were great choices , just the right side of attentive and multi lingual which was awesome. The venue is stunning , the food was brilliant . Really special and I can see why it gets busy in evenings and weekends . Will be coming back without any shadow of a doubt . We had left overs which were beautifully wrapped for the journey home .

This was the most unique place we have ever visited and I'm so glad we did. We were expecting it to be quite pricey, but for an anniversary meal it didn't disappoint. The food and service were exemplary. Absolutely stunning experience!

Food and wine was Devine, but the service was even better. John made us feel like we were the only couple there, he had great conversation and was very quick. We weren’t waiting around and our glasses were always full. He even took photos for us, made my partners birthday even more special.

Birthday treat, finally a taster menu for two. Each course had the theatre and taste to match. We will be back soon.

Me and my partner both tried the vegetarian taster experience which comprised of eight courses for £55 each. Unfortunately, some dishes were lacking in flavour. However, memorable dishes were the clay pot chickpea and green pepper curry, the stuffed roasted aubergine, the mushroom gyozas and the vegetable tempura. Service was great. We were served by Alexi, who was friendly and cleared our dishes in a timely manner. We also explained that the edamame with siracha was unfortunately too spicy and these were kindly replaced with normal edamame with matcha salt which was surprisingly a delight and much appreciated. The drinks were good. I was pleased with my zen garden which was cool and refreshing. The mango no-colada was extremely sweet. Vibe was good and not to mention the scenery, which was very pretty and glamorous. Worth it for a date night out.

Been wanting to try here for a while so decided to go for a family meal around 7pm. We made a reservation and glad we did as it seemed to be very busy. The staff were amazing and really friendly as soon as we walked in. The interior of the restaurant was stunning & the tall figurine greeting me in the toilet with “Konnichiwa” scared me but loved it 😂 We started off with some cocktails which were really tasty as we looked at the menu. This place is not cheap so definitely would only go here on special occasions as you can get the same a lot cheaper elsewhere. However every bit of food we had was to die for! We didn’t really have individual meals - we decided to get lots of small plates to start. The popcorn shrimp was our favourite - would definitely recommend! For mains we shared the hoisin duck pancake rolls sharer between 3 of us which was the perfect amount. We also had a dessert each, we all tried a bit of each others and they were all really good! I’d definitely recommend the cheesecake. The bill definitely surprised us but we knew that would be the case before coming in, so can’t complain! Will definitely be back sometime.

I’ve been wanting to visit this place for a while and a Wales match day seemed the right time. First off, what a stunning place. The decor is amazing and just walking in is an experience itself. The jade floor, incredible. The service was superb. Our waitress was attentive, lovely, explained everything and never let our glasses run dry. The menu is very different and covers food from around Asia but seemed more Japanese/Chinese than anywhere else. My partner had the avocado salad while I had the duck masamam curry. We both had the chilli noodles. My curry was gorgeous. The duck was tender and the sauce rich and thick. There was a good amount of heat as well and coupled with the noodles I knew I’d had a chilli hit. My partner found the chilli a bit too much but managed it and the avo salad was beautifully tasty. She then ordered the doughnuts for pudding. 6 of these balls of loveliness came out and we ended leaving with 3 hof them 🤣🤣 We ordered a bottle of wine as it was cheaper than going by the glass. The bill came to £98 including service charge. It was a lovely meal but maybe not as outstanding as I had been anticipating. All in all a lovely experience though… including the Samuri warrior in the toilet 🤣🤣

Absolutely stunning place and food is always amazing. John was our waiter today and he was so friendly and polite, will definitely be coming back. We was so full we couldn’t finish our food and he offered to put our left overs in takeaway containers, we didn’t know this was possible so was really pleased

Went for a birthday treat. Inside is decorated fabulous. The service was amazing but got a little let down by the food, it was just ok not amazing as I had hoped for. Couldn't order duck as no pancake rolls, and waited quite a while for food to be brought out. We did have a free drink as we waited so long. I did enjoy but I wouldn't rush back

A glorious place to eat - amazing service, amazing decor and the food was divine! Although you do pay for the privilege so don't expect takeaway prices - check the online menu before you go so you're not shocked! Photo is of samurai mannequin in toilet, who welcomes you in Japanese every time you set off the movement sensor
