The wait is slow, I had to make eye contact 5 times before they came over to take my order. The food itself is very nice, I had the sushi platter, the wasabi is of good standard likewise the ginger, the salmon is also pretty fresh as well as the tuna, I had the California rolls, they were nice but I’ve had better, the rice was slightly hard, everyone prefers soft sticky rice, the cucumber on the side for garnishing was old, the presentation of the food itself is good, the tables are sturdy and it’s a very nice environment to have food in.
The food was very tasty but as other reviews suggest, it was very salty. Good quality though. Service was quite slow from ordering to receiving food but the staff were friendly and accommodating.
The food was just excellent, superb Ramen, starters and deserts. Staff were nice and attentive. The interior is fun and different. One star off on atmosphere as it was a wee bit cold in the restaurant. But will be back - for sure.
Atmosphere was a bit bright and service was attentive but food slow. Sushi was great but beef was lacking. Not as tender as it should have been and looked like a plate of mince

When we arrived at 18:45 it was quiet and we were seated immediately. The server was friendly and attentive. The music was quiet as other reviews have mentioned but personally we appreciated being able to hear eachother speak. The restaurant began to fill up later on and we were so impressed with the server as it was clearly busy and she seemed to be managing everything on her own but she constantly checked on us and always appeared totally calm and in control. The tables are quite spaced apart which not only feels more covid safe but also we appreciated feeling like we had some privacy and weren't crammed in.
Having read other reviews we came prepared for a wait and made sure we weren't starving to start with so we had no issues waiting - our drinks were brought very promptly and I can't say I noticed a particular wait for the meal which I had been concerned about from some reviews. It was a birthday meal and we spent 2+ hours taking our time eating and talking - we found the atmosphere very comfortable and weren't in a rush but maybe others had issues if they were very hungry! We shared a platter so for £10 a head we were totally happy. Thought they were very generous with the sizes of the cuts compared to other sushi we've had, and appreciated the presentation.
We had been a bit nervous about our booking after reading some of the negative reviews, but didn't find any of these issues ourselves.
Didn't think it was dirty, enjoyed the ambiance, food was enjoyable, service was excellent, and value for money wise seemed totally normal for chef made sushi. The decor was quirky but we thought it was fun and the garden was absolutely stunning. One of the more relaxing dining experiences I've had post covid and we will definitely be back!!
Lovely food as always.
Unfortunately I found the service to be a bit slow (although we were the only people in the restaurant) and I had to leave before my dessert arrived.
Judging by previous occasions though it is a wonderful place for a meal with a lovely atmosphere and decor.
The best restaurant I’ve experienced in Dundee and I’ve tried most. It’s not just the best in Dundee, the meal I had here was as good as the best I’ve had…. And I’m pretty old!
Ordered the salmon sushi platter, the salmon was pure velvet, the flavours, I’m not going to forget.
We then had another sushi, I forget the name, was a kind of katsu and avocado. It was dressed with the beautiful sauce and the flavours were so deep, complex and thoroughly delicious.
You know you’ve had something special when you’re still thinking about it the next day and beyond. I would recommend to everyone, especially if you’re a sushi fan or noob because there simply isn’t better in Dundee
Excellent food and location if you sit out in the gardens.
Quite expensive but a jewel in Dundee.
Had lunch here on Friday, very tasty and staff super friendly. Talked about the Game of Thrones room and garden decor which was very cool! Thank you. Certainly the best Japanese food in Dundee
Food was amazing and the staff were very attentive. I loved the decor. I understand they are renovating downstairs but good job for adapting to these difficult times. My partner and I had a brilliant experience 👏🏻

all in all: great experience.
great vegan selection for a reasonable price (£25 per head including drinks which are the most overpriced item on the menu, with roughly £9 for cocktails). the ambient is quite kitsch, but the waiters make up for all the gold paint, they're very nice! the garden is well kept and the fairy lights add a nice touch. I'd definitely go back (and hopefully will asap).

If you're looking for a unique dining experience, this Japanese restaurant with an interesting theater-like setup is definitely worth checking out. From the high curtains to the wide seating chairs and glass chandelier, the atmosphere is definitely a standout feature of this restaurant.
I tried the lunch menu which consisted of a salmon sushi bento box, and while the salmon was generally fresh and flavorful, the rice was slightly overcooked which took away from the overall experience. However, the presentation of the bento box was beautiful and added to the theatrical feel of the restaurant.
The real standout of the meal, however, was the homemade mascarpone cheesecake with a meringue. The dessert was absolutely amazing - the cheesecake was rich and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness, and the meringue added a lovely lightness to the dish. It was clear that the dessert was made with care and attention to detail, which really elevated the overall experience.
Overall, while the lunch menu may have had its ups and downs, the dessert was definitely a highlight. If you're looking for a unique dining experience with a touch of theater, this restaurant is definitely worth checking out. Just make sure to save room for the cheesecake!
Food was delicious but took a while to come out, couldn't blame them though when it was so busy. Our server Aria was a delight, so cheerful and has a smile for everyone. I would go again.
