Our tasters were greeted pleasantly by owner Salim on arrival and were kindly shown to our table. The menu was filled with various types of sushi from single pieces of \u2018Shake Roll\u2019 to \u2018California Rainbow\u2019 and platters of up to 60 pieces if you wish to share around the table with your party and take a sample of all the flavours. Many Japanese delicacies such as \u2018Gunkan\u2019 and \u2018Chirashi\u2019 were on offer if you\u2019re feeling more adventurous! Our reviewers opted for the \u2018Salmon Lovers\u2019 20 piece platter featuring four variations of sushi, \u2018Maki Salmon\u2019, \u2018Nigri Salmon\u2019, \u2018Philadelphia\u2019 and \u2018Sashmi Salmon.\u2019 The platter was presented beautifully with each piece cut and rolled to perfection. The avocado was really fresh and the Philadelphia wrapped in salmon delicious.<\/p>\n
Taking a step towards the starter side of the menu came options away from sushi such as \u2018Tempura Shrimp\u2019 and salads. Our tasters went for the succulent 6 piece spring rolls which were placed on a bed of fresh salad and the flavoursome chicken satay which was cooked to high quality. The food just doesn\u2019t stop there! The main course selection ranged from noodles, rice, \u2018Yaki Tori\u2019 all which come in different meat options and you have the option to order a mix of side dishes. Our tasters went for the Beef\/Cheese \u2018Yaki Tori\u2019 which was presented perfectly on skewers and the Tuna \u2018Tataki and Grill\u2019 accompanied with boiled and lightly seasoned vegetables was indeed food gold!<\/p>\n
In order to compliment the sushi dishes, our tasters were recommended a crisp and fruity white wine called \u2018Lui & Lui\u2019 by the owner of the restaurant. This wine in particular was specially created for the purpose of enjoying a glass (or 4!) to accompany the sushi to perfection. The wine enhanced the seafood flavours and cut through the oiliness of the delicate spring rolls enjoyed as part of the main dish.<\/p>\n
The choice of desserts ranged from brownies to cheesecake and even a tiramisu. Our tasters opted for the strawberry flavoured panna cotta which was light and sweet, perfectly presented on a narrow plate decorated with syrup. The light and fluffy base with a jelly-layered top was a melt-in-the-mouth treat and was a great palette cleanser after the many flavoursome dishes enjoyed for starter and main.<\/p>\n
The restaurants d\u00e9cor was dimly lit creating a romantic atmosphere for dinners and also decorated on the walls were quotes which our tasters enjoyed reading whilst indulging in the quality 3 course meal. The service was friendly and attentive even by the owner of the restaurant; which made the dining experience that extra bit special.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
