Chicken katsu curry rice was generous, albeit the chicken was more firm than expected.

The best food I had in England so far. As a peruvian in England is hard to find tasty food here, but this restaurant, although small, has great taste and fresh food. The Price is also reasonable. Also the owner is really friendly!

Had a delicious lunch here: Salmon Avocado Poke Bowl, Katsu Chicken Poke Bowl and light, crispy Veggie Gyoza. Food was fresh and full of flavour. Staff were helpful and friendly. Only marked down one star on atmosphere because sadly the seating is opposite a service/access door which creates quite a draught. (I know this isn't the fault of the restaurant.)

The staff was so lovely! We ordered their warm rice bowl with different toppings, the food was simply delicious. It was a much needed break from British food :)

wonderful experience. offer delicious sashimi and fresh hot don with warmhearted service. if i have to say something bad, they market is just too old and there is no private room. but considering other things i get, i can tolerate the environment. If I live near, I think I will always come here.

Lovely friendly staff and the prawns were soooooo good. Had a mix of sushi rolls, katsu curries and poke bowls (adapted for the fussy one). Everyone loved their meal. Highly recommend

I stumbled upon this lovely Japanese sushi restaurant in the covered market. The staff were just so welcoming and really nice helping me decide what to have of the menu.
When the food arrived it was honestly the most delicious thing I've eaten, I had the salmon on rice With a lovely mayonnaise teriyaki sauce, seaweed, cucumber eddamme beans, carrot, and crispy onions.
I've travelled to Japan lots of times and I've never had such nice Japanese food in England. They have a wide variety on their menu at a very reasonable price.
You are a credit to the covered market and the food was delicious I will most definitely be back again

Delicious food, freshly prepared to order, with a smile. I had the chicken katsu poke bowl. The panko breadcrumbs were perfectly light, crispy and cooked fresh. Lots of veggies. A healthy (healthier! 😀) takeaway option.
Thank you!
