    Lively venue with a great alfresco concept. I haven't been here for many years and we were really excited but underwhelmed. The food was average, overrated, and overpriced. The sashimi was too thin and few as was the octopus that was presented like cut-off scraps. The protein was too thin and overpowered by too much dressing. Not in a hurry to revisit given we are spoilt for choice with so many other cute Japanese restaurants and cafes.
