Very good food and reasonable price for the quality, nice ambiance and decor, very good service without being on top of you, very responsible and well informed about food allergies (I myself am allergic to peanuts and have to be careful with a lot of Asian cuisine), would definitely recommend!

Today I'm wondering about eating bento 🍱 at lunch time. I just searching on Google map and occasionally find this Japanese restaurant. They have both menu for bento 🍱 and ramen 🍜. But they showed me a special menu only for bento. There are two sections of bento menu which first part is 13£ you can choose three flavors and the second part is around 16£ you have more choices meaning you can select. I ordered the chicken katsu curry one. The difference is, there's sushi 🍣 first as a starter which I haven't expected for. The taste with wasabi and soy sauce is authentic and high quality. The second starter is the Miso soup. I also can't wait to drink something so I ordered pineapple 🍍 juice. Finally the bento 🍱 box coming. A piece of Aubergine, green pepper mushroom is fried on the side. The traditional Japanese curry made from carrots and potatoes and fried katsu chicken. There's also two pieces of cucumber 🥒 on side to fresh your taste. When you finally finished, you definitely have a feeling like being in Japan in real. The total experience is splendid and fantastic.
