Amazing food, wonderful service, great atmosphere. I went with 2 close friends for a birthday celebration, we had some gorgeous food and a great time. I was so ready for the food the my photos are not as good as usual 😊.
First impression, this is a busy restaurant during meal times. There are 2 levels of sitting. The main level which is busy, and the basement, which is kinda sad. Remember to ask for the main level table. Wide range of Japanese and Korean food on the menu and we tried both. Overall, the tastes were pretty authentic. The portion was quite big also, so do ask the staff if you had over ordered. The bulgogi is a bit too dry to my liking but the ramen is on point. Also had some warm sake and I find the price quite comfortable.
Felt expensive. I would stick to the grill. Probably book in advance.
- King prawns (BBQ on sizzling plate) looked impressive, but even though they butterflied them, they left the poop sac in so they were bitter. Not worth £14.
- chicken wings had the inconsistent temperature distribution and fall-off-the-bone texture of wings that had been reheated in a microwave. Gochujang flavours were great though.
- spicy lamb noodles were alright. The lamb was tender but I’d have preferred thinner noodles.
- The nigiri platter was nice but the wasabi tasted cheap, the ginger wasn’t great and there wasn’t premium soy sauce.
i went there two nights (pretty close to each other) and the quality of the unagi (eel) rice dish changed drastically. one night was 5 stars then the next was 3 stars max. the playing sides for the same exact dish were also different. my friend got the beef bulgogi the second night and found it fairly unseasoned. the passion fruit mocktail was amazing both nights.
Went around 3pm on a weekday. Was very quiet inside with only 2 tables of guests. Food was decent for the price. Lady did only manage to eat half of her dish, as there was a lot of rice. Will try this place again maybe in evening. Staff were mainly sat around at a table chatting and playing on phone since it was quiet.
Excellent restaurant in a good central location in Newcastle. Menu includes the usual things like Teriyaki but lots of other interesting Japanese and Korean dishes. I opted for the Korean grilled squid which was excellent, perfectly cooked and a generous amount. Great value for money, great food and service.
Well priced and really tasty. The bun platter was outstanding and the sushi was really tasty too
I went along with my son and his friends. We were asked to go down stairs to sit, and after taking orders we were moved upstairs. The food is good , the ambience is poor. Over all service could improve
Loved the Chicken Katsu Curry! The atmosphere inside feels like a high-end restaurant, and the friendly staff make the experience even better.
While the waiting time can be a bit long and despite being slightly pricy, the overall experience makes it absolutely worth it! The chicken and beef are halal which is wonderful. Been a few times, would recommend!
Enjoyed a lovely authentic lunch, compiled of traditional Japanese/Korean small plates, sushi and cocktails. The veg tempura was a comforting and delicious way to start, and the meat on the Korean wings fell off the bone, very nice (we went spicy). The slow cooked pork belly was not to my taste as the fat was not rendered down and the pork was rather chewy for something slow cooked, however the octopus takoyaki was a real treat! The Californian rolls were nice enough and had a form of roe encasing the outside which was a lovely touch. Finally the Asia daisy cocktail was light and refreshing, the perfect tipple to accompany the meal.

The restaurant is clean and visually appealing- really nicely decorated, you definitely can feel like you are in a higher end restaurant and it is a very pleasant experience simply just sitting at the table. When it comes to prices, the menu offers cheap and affordable options which is greatly appreciated as it can fit all budgets.
What caught my attention was the intriguing fact that this restaurant offers a split menu with Japanese and Korean food which is a nice option to have in Newcastle when you can't decide which cuisine you would rather enjoy that day.
Another reason this restaurant caught my attention was because they have Ja Jang Myun on their menu, which in my experience is a difficult find. Despite this fact, I have actually not ordered this meal during my visit and have instead ordered Yuk Gae Jang and a Tuna Temaki Roll which are both pictured in my photo.
The soup has stayed hot for very long and it made me fall behind when eating this dish so the company I had with me had to sit there waiting for me to finish- even so, I had to take the rest of the meal back home. The soup did taste nice, not as flavourful as I wanted it to be but the spiciness level was pleasant as it was not the type that you need to chug milk after. The temaki was also tasty and fresh but I feel like it could be more flavourful in some ways.
I have not come back yet to this restaurant despite the pleasant experience, however, writing this review has made me wonder why haven't I visited again? Unable to find a reason as to why I decided I definitely will be coming back soon to try the other dishes their menu has to offer and I am looking forward to it.

Nice place, friendly staff, delicious food, only the food was delayed a about 35 min, although there weren't many people, so I think if the place was busy, it would be more late, but overall I will come back to them to try the rest of the food.
Brilliant food and lovely service, they went above and beyond for us and stayed open a bit later so we could eat after an event. Took a preorder over the phone ! Thank you. We loved our food! Great portion sizes. Nice salmon and lovely flavours.
Really lovely little place, with an intriguing mix of Korean and Japanese dishes.
Great for simple sushi, or for the perfect bimbimbap if you're after something hearty on a Sunday.
Plenty of tables and room for walk-ins.
They did have a few items off menu due to freshness and stock concerns, but we're happy to substitute when required.
Recommended for a lazy Sunday lunch, or a weekday casual evening meal.
Such a lovely place! Came here on a recommendation and don’t regret it, thanks so much to the server who brought out a free cheesecake and sang happy birthday to my dad on their own accord - such a nice thing to do! Will definitely be returning. 😊
Incredible mouth watering Asian food, great selection and speedy service. The wine was also lovely for such a reasonable price! Definitely have to check it out.
Great place to visit, friend staff lovely food, we will be back again
Definitely will come back to this place! Amazing place, Amazing food, Amazing price. The price is really good. I love the foods! It was amazing! Note; they provide a very big portion (for me), so, makw sure you choose wisely, but dont worry, It tastes good! You will not regret it. The topokki is the best one that I had so far.
