The best meal I’ve had ever. Me and my partner love sushi and Japanese food, and this place was the best place I’ve ever been. The place is beautiful and clean, the food was fresh and the cocktails were insane. The atmosphere was also amazing even at 6pm. Our waitress, shay, elevated our meal. She was amazing, warm and some of the best service I’ve ever had. Will be returning again and again. Highly recommend.

Really impressed with our visit today. The food was delicious and the flavours were outstanding (the salmon carpaccio in particular). The espresso martini was made to perfection and the staff very helpful with their recommendations on the menu. We were all really pleased with our choices today. We had our 3.5 year old little boy with us and the staff were super friendly with him. We will definitely be returning. The volume and the playlist was great too.

Great atmosphere and good food. Service is fantastic and the servers are very attentive. It is on the pricier side but there's a good selection of food and is prepared fresh to order. If you're sat near the bar you can watch the sushi be prepared.

Our 1st visit to this establishment in Oxted on 29/12/2024 & what a delight it was. We were seated in upper seating area overlooking the restaurant & it soon filled up. We decided to choose from the Sunday menu on our 1st venture into Japanese cuisine. My wife started with KaisenTempura, mixed fish & vegetables, & I with Chicken Karaage, fried chicken, both with delicious chilli miso sauce. I then had Donburi Chasu Don, Pork Belly with steamed white rice, spring onions, white sesame seeds, pickled ginger & separate miso soup. My wife had Ramen Kubota Shoyu, grilled chicken thighs with seaweed, spring onions, soya based broth & fine noodles. Both our starter & main were lovely & full of flavour. Along with the Red Grenache my wife had & Kirin Beer added to an absolutely lovely meal. We will certainly be returning soon.

I am Japanese myself and the food was as good, in some ways better than Japan. ( Samon sashimi ) We had an amazing experience. Lovely staff, and fantastic food. We will come back very soon!

My 2nd visit here, the quality of the sashimi is top level and happy to drive a long way for it, for Tuna fans the Otoro Nigiri is off the charts amazing & had to order a 2nd round.

Elegant and stylish setting, we had a comfortable and well positioned table with plenty of space. Beautiful attention to detail and a very warm welcome from the team. Smiling and charming service. Food was absolutely delicious: soft shell crab, sushi, grilled meats all a highlight. I loved the wide choice of sake by the glass: get stuck in an experiment. I had 3 and they were all tasty and matched with the food perfectly. Good coffee and my husband loved his wee ice cream cone to finish. Excellent: I only wish this was in our neighbourhood. Lucky Oxted.
