    My friend and I had an amazing experience at SAKUSEI ANGEL. The atmosphere was cozy and authentic, with a modern touch. We started with perfectly crisp gyoza and fresh edamame, followed by a sushi platter that was both beautifully presented and incredibly fresh. The teriyaki chicken was tender, with a rich, well-balanced sauce. The service was outstanding—attentive and friendly without being intrusive. We finished with mochi ice cream, which was the perfect end to the meal. Overall, the quality of food and service was excellent, and we can't wait to come back!

    Our first time at Koba. Food, service, experience were all excellent. I scored a point down on ambience because we were downstairs which was a bit lacking in atmosphere, more fun upstairs. It's also pretty expensive, easy for the bill to mount up without much effort!! But the food was delicious, our server brilliant and we would highly recommend and go again. And again.
