It was our first time eating at this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. We really liked the special sushi and sashimi. When we told them that we were in a hurry, they served our food really fast. Will definitely visit again when we feel like having Japanese food in JB.

1st time to this outlet but food overall as good as their other outlets. Mapo Tofu Ramen was shiok and the Ebi Chawanmushi was probably the best I had. 1st time trying the Kintaro Maki which I felt was over-saucy. All in all a comfortable setting with good and affordable Jap dining.
