“ I came here on a busy Saturday afternoon and got seated right away, which was a nice surprise. The place was packed, but service was quick and attentive. Food was tasty — a great choice if you’re looking for something healthy and filling without feeling too heavy. Portions were good, and prices are pretty reasonable for Central. ”
“ Was heading to off a different restaurant for lunch and noticed this Japanese chain restaurant on the way so decided to give it a try. We made a good decision. Service was great for Hong Kong standard. Food is good. Taste exactly like food in Japan. The grilled mackerel was amazing. The fish and veggie combo set I had was really good. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Our family of 5 left with a smile on our face. Will return for more. ”

“ Great selection, high quality food, but needs larger parties might have problems with the menu and they need to fix the toilets. When we arrived, the restaurant was empty at 6 p.m. Our party of 5 were shown to sit on 3 integrated 2-person tables, and given menus almost simultaneously. However, the menu was hard to navigate in spite of the good service, especially for our relatively large group when compared to the groups of 3s and 4s there. When we paired the à-la-cartes with the sets, it threw us a slight conundrum because a couple of single items had rice even without the set added on. If you’re ordering by pushing the buttons on the table, I recommend not to make elaborated combos. After ordering, we found out that the male toilet’s faucet was broken and I had to use the disabled toilet’s sink to wash my hands. The food defied our expectations. It was much better and higher quality than anticipated, in all of the dishes we ordered. They have a large range of food, including (but not limited to) sumptuous cow tongues, thick slices of salmon in 3 boxes, chicken dons and dessert. We had an amazing experience with the food, but the toilets need to be fixed. ”
“ So many choices here, I have difficulties choosing it lol. At the end I chose the one I normally have - sukiyaki beef set. Nice one and reasonable lunch set price in Central ”

“ Love it ! Same brand as the one I tried in New York (the USA) but cheaper ! It's so good, like homemade meals . You will love the taste and the prices. The stuff is friendly :) I recommend that for all japanese home food lovers ”
“ The Japanese restaurant was located on the upper level. There were lifts serving the whole building with some eateries. If you arrived early for dinner, booking might not be necessary. Otherwise, a reservation was recommended. The quality of food met the standard. The service was satisfactory. The menu was quite long. Price was reasonable. ”
