Beautiful restaurant in the heart of Covent Garden. Great decor and atmosphere- cosy and comfortable. Set lunch was very good and excellent value. It was very busy and thus initial service was a little slow, but otherwise excellent, and no pressure to finish/leave (our booking was 2.00pm). Would definitely return.

This sushi restaurant was highly recommended to us by a friend who lives in the Paddington area as being someplace that's well worth the visit. We got here right as the dinner period was picking up and booked ourselves int. We had a bit of waiting, once our table was ready - wow! The sushi was some of the freshest and most delicious that we've ever had. We shared the salmon roll, soft-shell crab, and tuna roll, as well as a beef buns, and everything was utterly fantastic. The staff were super professional and polite, and the food came out in good time, which is a sign that they took great pains to serve food that was both delicious and aesthetically pleasing. The restaurant itself is pretty small, which might account for part of the long wait - this place can only accommodate so many people. Beautiful and Very Good!!!
