We loved the maki rolls and Teryaki duck on crispy rice but we will definitely be back to try more of the menu. It was all so delicious. Great place for a special occasion - service was excellent.

    Me and my friends booked for the brunch and the food was lovely. We could taste how fresh it was. We were being served by Holly and she was AMAZING!! Very attentive and great vibes. Overall the the brunch was amazing but would have been better if the service was quicker, but I appreciate it was a busy time.
