The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Portsmouth South East

The decoration and the way the restaurant is organised works wonderfully. We were put in a two person booth-ish area, but it was very cute and nice. We had a range of nigiri and maki, and the “spider maki” (soft shell crab maki) was my favourite. We also got the tempura prawns, chilli and chicken stir fry udon and the tempura ice cream. Also, the waiters were very kind and helpful. My partner wanted to try some sake, and the one the waitress recommended was beautiful. So so good, will come again!

The food was bland. We could not get a jug of water, despite it being 6:30 and not busy. We had all ordered alcohol but wanted a jug of water too. After asking 3 times I went to the the bar. The miserable older waitress shooed me away back to the table and eventually brought water. The younger girl seemed friendly and smiley. The older lady seemed to think we were an inconvenience. No smiles, abrupt answers, very surly. The food was all bland and pretty tasteless. We had 5 different dishes and nothing tasted of much. The Laksa was a bowl of coconut milk with noodles in it. No fresh herbs, crunchy ginger etc. The other dishes all lacked excitement. Edible but not exciting. None of the dishes had coriander, basil, or anything to lift the dish. Disappointing. We won’t be back.

We found the restaurant by chance as we were walking to Gunwharf Quays. We had the chicken karaage to start and one portion was plenty for the both of us. We then followed that with the beef short rib, which arrived on a sizzling plate along with buttered rice and a tasty soup. The bottle of Malbec was also excellent. Overall fantastic food and we’ll be back.

It would be nice to have your actual opening hours stated correctly on google! We have been on Wed around 4pm and the restaurant was closed. Is it even a restaurant???

Such a delicious big meal for a good price. Excellent delivery and customer service

Took grandchildren here after school. Enjoyed the meal but not the price of the water! Asked for water to drink and i admit i didnt understand or hear properly what the waitress said. Two bottles arrived and only at end of meal did i realise the charge for drinking water was £10. A bit excessive in my opinion.
