“ I had the set menu for 25€ along with plenty of sake. Everyone was friendly and the Korean family that owns the restaurant were very personable. Highly recomendable if you would like to experience an authentic Japanese experience. I lived and worked in Japan for 2 years 20 years ago so I'm familiar with Japanese style. ”

“ Incredible finding such a place in Las Palmas - unbelievable experience. Was the birthday of my girlfriend and they went beyond expectations to make it a special night : Teresa is a wonderful chef, the real deal and Karim is the kindest waiter in town - what a team. Last but not least they ran also a cocktail bar called Mizu not far from it, which is exceptional (you need a code to enter, a secret pearl!) awesome drinks and DJ sets from Marcus and Cristian! Thank you all guys, you rock! What a night :) ”
“ Easily one of the best restaurants on the island. Mediterranean food influenced by asian culture, this is not your typical sushi making japanese place. This is top-notch cuisine with the freshest possible ingredients and it's always worth the visit. ”
“ We had a very enjoyable meal, the food is made to order, so be prepared to wait. However, the waiting is well worth it. The flavours are excellent, fresh produce and made with care. The Gyozas full of flavour and the tempura so lightly fried it was incredible. ”
