“ We tried this place on a whim, and love it! The atmosphere is cool but unpretentious and even cosy. Our waiter was attentive, made great suggestions and introduced me to Russian wines (he is also a sommelier). The food was all fantastic, including the broccoli, a speciality, which may sound odd but proves to be astounding. The seafood is fresh and of high quality. Prices are extremely fair. Highly recommended. Staff speak English. ”

“ It's a really wonderful place. Delicious food and friendly staff. Tuna with mango is gorgeous! I'll definitely be back here. The only thing we didn't like is a loud music ”
“ Udon with shrimps and creamy kimchi sauce was great ”
“ Good restaurant and a good service. The food was delicious. We took lots of different plates and each one was amazing. You should get one of the ramens from the menu. ”
“ I came here with my Japanese wife. We enjoyed their excellent noodles, probably their crown jewel dish, and a very nice selection of reasonably priced (for Russia) Japanese alcoholic drinks. To be 100% honest, I didn't like rice in their sushi as I prefer it softer, but I won't complain as I have very high standards after living in Japan for 10 years. At least their sushi are still better than sushi at Yoko (Novikov Group), which is next to the Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow. And I also would like to mention their very friendly and pleasant service. I only wish all their staff, including chefs, put on face masks, as we are still in the middle of a pandemic. I give them 5 stars not 4, as I know how hard it is to deliver what they deliver in this market. I wish this place good luck and stick to their way of doing things, rather than trying to please the average consumer who doesn't necessarily know what is best to stay both authentic and unique. I'll definitely be back again if I am in town. ”
“ Absolutely delicious sushi. I strongly recommend the tuna tataki and the eel uramaki. Would be nice to see a larger variety of non alcoholic drinks. Service was spectacular. ”
