"We had dinner for my partner’s birthday and we couldn’t have chosen a better restaurant! The food was delicious and the atmosphere lovely. What really made it special for us was the staff. They were so kind and attentive, explaining the menu, not rushing is at all and they even put a surprise candle on the cake we ordered for dessert - such a thoughtful detail!"

"I stumble upon this place by accident and I must say that it was my lucky day. Everything about this place was excellent - I ended up going there the next day to explore other sections of their menu. I would highly recommend this place for anyone that has an urge to have sushi - both, visitors and locals."

"As an overseas frequent traveller, this is top on my list in Madrid. I work in Madrid for 2 of every 4 weeks and have been meaning to try this place everytime I walked by, tonight was the night... and it didnt dissapoint! Excellent food, staff, service and quality. Great setting for all occasions. Managed by a fabulous attentive host. Having had the vegetable Curry Gyozas to start and the Terriyaki chicken for the mains, I was extremely impressed. I have been many times in Tokyo, and this was just as authentic. Fantastic attentive service, and very reasonably priced cuisine. I will for sure be back to this fabulous place. Credit to all the staff and owner... Muchas Gracias!"
