The food was good. The service was very average. The atmosphere was non existant. The price was horribly expensive. One star at best.

A restaurant must have good food and service you make memorable dining experience.Decor is subjective but also necessary

Pros
Shashimi cut thick sublime.The spanish tuna ( possibly blue fin atun Atún Rojo de Almadraba is the best in Europe)

The set dinner was very enjoyable

Steak and mixed grill melt in the mouth

Cons

1. 3 hours for dinner - my guest ordered one dish waited 1 1/2 hours and took it as atake out - told kitchen cooks dishes in order of type ???

2. Waiting is a profession and employing willing young people in a high end restaurant without a maitre’de is a disaster

3. Virtually every order had to be chased up at least once.Even the drinks order couldnt be delivered correctly and together

We left the restaurant angry and I personally at a loss how they can serve great food and dont care about the poor attention to service. In Japan the owner would be humiliated by this review

Reasonable quality but not as good as you would expect for the prices charged. If you have travelled in Japan you will expect more. Overall quite expensive for what it is.

It is a dishonor to call this a japanesse restaurant. Having been in Japan several times and eating in many teppanyaki restaurants, I cannot believe what we were served. Chunks of meat unevenly cooked with raw vegetables without any hint of sauce.
I would recommend everybody to skip this one.

Everything about our dining experience was amazing! The service, the meal and the atmosphere were all even better than expected. Not inexpensive but worth it for a special dinner. 😊
