The restaurant is one of the most popular places in Liverpool for partying with a group of people. The ambient of the restaurant is unbeatable. Chefs are friendly, noisy and funny.

Two of us ordered special Sapporo sushi for starter. It is a 16-pieces sushi dish with sashimi (raw fish), which was enough for us to share. The fish was fresh, colourful and well presented. After the starter, warmed plates were produced by the staff. All staff members are well trained and professional, from order taking to food and wine serving.

For main courses, we had monkfish and beef teriyaki. Both dishes were nice and simple, however, the base marinades tasted the same, which was sweet soy sauce. There was not much cooking skill and technique involved. All the food was served with roasted potato, vegetable and fried rice, surely it is enough to fill your stomach. Wine list of the restaurant was slightly disappointing. You can buy most of them in supermarket and there is a lack of selected wine.

We were so full that we can’t fit in any dessert. However, their dessert menu has good variety. Banana tempura and chocolate spring roll sounds irresistible.

There is no doubt about the chefs’ performance and their tricks were fantastic. It is a bit noisy in the restaurant specially we were there on a busy night. It is an excellent place for groups, but if you want a romantic night out with your love, you might have to leave it on a quieter night.
