Good service, but questionable food
Ordered katsu curry, theres a few things
The breading is as thick as the pork chop itself, so the thing is very very oily. The pork chop itself is cut thinly and way overcooked and is thus dry and tough
The curry sauce almost disintegrated, theres no curry flavour at all. Its grainy, not sure why maybe its the onion cooked too long , but even the store bought curry block is smoother.

Good service (they were specially patient with my credit card acting up), nice selection of sake and the sushi was very good. The creamy aubergine was also fantastic.

I came here in the late evening on a weekday to try the sushi out. The food was great and the restaurant was easy to find, the overall service was nice as well. The food came pretty quick but it would have been nice to be able to try the green tea ice cream out. Food - 4/5

Great variety of Japanese food and excellent service. One of the better food places around Euston/King's Cross area. The well decorated sushi boat is worth a try if you do drop by.
