I didn't find the restaurant particularly special.

We were escorted inside. The decoration was alright, nothing out of the ordinary, although they've positioned the seats so that everyone gets a bit of privacy, which is a nice touch. It can get a little noisy though, so don't come here expecting a quiet conversation. The lighting isn't great either so if you struggle to read in dim settings, I suggest you get your phone's 'flashlight' function ready!
The service isn’t bad, they walk past your table frequently so you don’t need to constantly attempt to flag somebody down. They also leave you jugs of hot tea which is a nice touch, especially for those who drink lots during a meal. For those who prefer traditional plum tea, they put in real plums and it looks to be about 750ml of liquid (if you count the ice). I didn’t order one, but the others enjoyed it.
We ordered a lot, as we were a party of six.
The sashimi platter was alright, and most of the fish (especially the scallops) tasted fresh. The texture was as expected either. However, I found that the salmon wasn't as fresh as it could have been and although it was decent sashimi, it isn't the best I've had. The portion was suitable for six people and if you’re in a party of two, it’s a great size.
California rolls were very nice. There was a good ratio of filling and rice. A couple of them had a prawn on top which was a nice decorative touch.
We ordered the charcoal-seared squid and while the texture was appropriate, and it looked great, I found that it tasted slightly bland. For the non-pescatarians, sirloin steak was ordered and it came with a hot stick to roast the steak more. I recommend the asparagus salad as it’s cooked so that it keeps its freshness. It’s a generous portion too more than enough for two people.
The beef hot rice and pork hot rice were alright. The beef hot rice was better than the pork which didn’t seem to have any pork at all. There was also a bit too much egg for the rice, but there was a lot of crunchy rice which was nice. The beef hot rice was preferable though.
The green tea tiramisu is decidedly not tiramisu. It is a very sweet mousse with a mild green tea flavour and a delicate sprinkling of green tea powder on top. There is no sponge or liquor inside and although it’s a small portion, if you can’t handle sweet things then I suggest sharing.
The bread with ice cream on the other hand was a winner with the table, although that portion is very big and I suggest sharing that too. It really appears to mostly be a loaf of bread with a couple of scoops of ice cream, the taste works. I found it a bit dry, and to combat this an extra scoop of ice cream would have been appreciated, but that’s where the green tea tiramisu comes in, I guess?
Overall, the food was pretty average, and I suppose the portions would have made up for it if there were less of us, but the value makes up for it anyway.
