One of my favourites. Usually you’ll have a great time here but dishes don’t stay consistent. It’s not a 5 star because the last time I went to the place (Jan 2026), it was absolutely freezing, it was so cold me and my date were shivering and had to wear our big coats. We told the waiter. We looked around and everyone else were also wearing their jackets and so that wasn’t the best experience otherwise a great place for good Japanese food in Leeds.

Was a family meal out and it was a quiet evening weeknight too. Service was good and food came really quick too. We all enjoyed it. Food was fresh as always. Will recommend to others

I've been here a few times for lunch and love their menu which isnt too big nor small. I really enjoy both the ramen and the lunch bowls which are priced around £8. There are some veggie options with tofu but I've enjoyed the chicken in particular. Service is very fast both at the till when ordering and providing the food to us. Taste was fantastic. Would recommend.
