The food is good, the staff does not work as a team, the orders come after a long waiting time and after several reminders. It takes a long time to be served. On the other hand, the view is great with the sunset. The staff is not professional enough.

Big disappointment. We went to this restaurant because of the countless good reviews on Instagram. We decided to go on a mid-week day, as it is calmer. The service is quite slow, we waited around 15 minutes for a simple request for sauce to accompany the meal (we had to ask for it a second time). The pieces were very flavorless, quite "dry" in the mouth and super basic. The fish didn't look fresh. We didn't think the sushi was anything special, on the contrary, we felt unwell during the night. We chose the rodizio (we were never disappointed with the chef's choice), and ended up not repeating it, either because of the slow service or because of the "taste" of the sushi. I don't recommend it at all.

Well I don't know how to start, It has potential it is not worth the money if there will be no change! For my experience as a sushi chef this restaurant was mentioned to my by a good friend and he asked my honest opinion! I will provide the same in hopes to help not only the customer but also the restaurant manager. The first impression (from the entire, ground floor) was good walls depicting japanese culture tables neat and clean.
Our table was on the first floor, the first thing I saw was that the sealing needs work (infiltration damage is present all-over the theam was confusing and has nothing to do with japanese culture. Personally I would close the first floor until I would have sufficient funds to fix it, because I would lose customers due to the status and the different vibe. If I'm not mistaken I could see references to India and to Thailand.
The table size was good for two, but not sufficient for the plate sizes that came with our food.
Regarding the food, we asked for the sushi Rodízio and Temaki Hot special. -Temaki Hot special: It is a butterflied breaded Salmon Temaki filled with Philadelphia and topped with thin onion slice that have been fried. The onion have been well prepared. What bordered bothered my was the amount Philadelphia it looked and tastes like Philadelphia. - I would reduce the amount to just a little bit on each side or exchange the Philadelphia with Japanese Mayonnaise.
- Sushi Rodízio: The highlight was the it was not only sushi. We got Jiaozi flavour wise it was like supermarket quality, and to dry. The filling wasn't wow but acceptable. - I would prefer it to be steamed and pass it through the pan on only one side.
The variety of foods wasn't bad. At the and we got a high footed plate with sushi rolls, sashimi and salmon rolls. The salmon rolls are flambeed at the table. The heat of the flames heated the sashimi. - I would avoid doing it at the table without having staff at the table to guarantee that everything goes well. Regarding the rest of the sushi we got gunkan, maki and uramaki.
For my all suffered the same issue. No balance of portions, and flavour. All pieces had Philadelphia. The amount of rice is excessive, and the pieces are cut too thick. - I would remove half of the rice that is used on each piece and cut it a little thinner.
To summaries: I saw too much waist of food, not only on my table but all. To much food is returned. The atmosphere is confusing and not uniform throughout the two floors. Food is not worth the money. As long as no change is done to place I don't intend to return.

The sushi was lukewarm, the fish was nothing fresh, my worst experience in sushi restaurants, everything was perfect but without any quality. At no point did the employee explain the concept of the restaurant as other employees did at other tables. The view is beautiful, but that's it. Definitely a place not to return to.

Great service and there is a carvery that is very delicious. I recommend
When you arrive you receive spectacular service, they put the chef's choice on the rotation and say that you can order later the ones you like best, but that's not what happens, my son waited for over an hour for just one type of sushi and sunomono, and the server's response when asked was “oh, I forgot to order, and it was reminded to her every time she came back to the table” the sushi that comes to the table are almost all the same, and with lots of rice.

I bought it through To Good to Go, the food was extremely cold and had a sour taste.

Sushi different from the usual that surprises with each piece. Despite being rotational, the pieces are chosen by the chef taking into account our tastes. There's a lot of food, and we can repeat or order a specific item if we want. The staff was very helpful and attentive, always available to meet our requests.
