Went for the tepenyaki. The food was fantastic, the chef was fun and playful, and the atmosphere was warm. Great time all round, until the bill came. Be prepared to spend roughly 50 per head, for a fish or meat tepenyaki, and a few drinks.

Today was my first visit to MoonSha and what a wonderful place. It was quiet tonight but still a nice atmosphere and to top it off today was their first day using the most adorable robot waiter which was a wonderful addition to the experience.

Went as a party of eight to celebrate a birthday. Food was a mixed bag, the sushi was quite good but have had better, the rest of the food was mediocre.
Serving was a shambles, they bought my wife's main out 15min before everyone else's.
Drinks were a shambles. Kept serving warm beer despite asking for fresh cold ones, the cola was completely flat and the lady behind the bar was quick to snatch the glasses from our hands when we asked for fresh drinks. Cocktails were ok but overpriced IMHO. But the best let down was the karaoke we had planned upstairs. When we got into our private room we were
