Because we are living near the restaurant, we decided to eat here. If you’re considering this place, please think again.
This is the worst sushi and service ever! The sushi looks like sushi you’ve seen before, and that’s as close to sushi as you’ll get. It wasn’t fresh, and it had no flavor. We then waited more than 10 minutes to get the check and get the hell out of there.
This is the first sushi place I’ve been where the only Japanese person is the hostess/​waitress. Don’t waste your time here… at all.

My friend and I found this little gem by chance. We were searching for a different Japanese restaurant nearby only to discover that it had closed down. Luckily we saw a sign to this place and thank god we did!
It’s quite hidden, situated behind a hotel around the Docklands. If traveling by car, be prepared to pay for parking as there are no available streets to park on. However, it’s less than a 10 minute walk from the closest station Excel on the DLR.
I’d say it’s a small but cute restaurant with a very quiet atmosphere. The menu comes with a great selection of sushi and set meals to choose from, including the usual foods you’d find in a typical Japanese restaurant. If you have space for dessert and a sweet tooth, try the tempura ice cream — I absolutely loved it!
So if you’re local and thinking of having some good Japanese grub, I’d highly recommend trying this pleasant surprise!
