Having lived in Japan for two years and developed a taste for authentic Japanese cuisine, I was excited to try out this restaurant.
The atmosphere, reminiscent of an izakaya, and the predominantly Japanese staff initially reassured me of the quality and the politeness I was imagining. I was expexting a nostalgic throwback to what was one of the most amazing experience I had but, honestly, I walked out pretty disappointed. If you’ve been to Japan, forget about the typical politness of Japanese hospitality.
I ordered in Japanese, hoping for a pleasant surprise or perhaps a chance for small talk (given it's unusual for a European to speak Japanese), but to my disappointment, it was treated as routine. The staff seemed solely focused on our orders and the amount we were spending.
The food (not taking into account the sushi) was ok, even though I find it absurd charging 6 € for a small miso soup. However, the sushi was quite disappointing. The quality of the rice was not apporiate as it was too chewy.
While I'm curious about other items on the menu, the overall experience has left me uncertain about returning.
If you've experienced genuine Japanese hospitality and cuisine, you may find this restaurant falls short of expectations.
