    The food was great but our server Kat made our evening. She was so fun and truly seemed like she loves her job. Only comment would be that charging $22 for 6 momos is outrageous, explains why the prices are not on the "special features".

    Food was great and the servers were friendly. We ordered the special, curry tonkatsu carbonara and it was amazing!!! Pork was super tender, cooked perfectly and the carbonara was spot on. The Sakura parfait was also a stand out.

    Our server was amazing! He was attentive and caring and really knows how to chat it up which I enjoy. The Tonkatsu pork pasta we ordered was a bit on the sweeter side which I wasn’t expecting and it would be better off being a bit more savoury. Great location and such a cool menu! The tuna tartare was amazing

    The main courses were the highlights, the appies and desserts were good but the Gyozagna, duck! Duck! And tonkontsu carbonara were all unreasonably good. The Menu was so out there we just asked for recommendations and we were happy with everything. Not the fusion you would expect but I'm really glad we got it!

    Fantastic and innovative food creations that might seem odd until these flavour combinations hit your tastebuds. The blend of Japanese and Italian cuisine is genius and uniquely delicious. I am looking forward to my return to try more tasty creations.

    paid $25 for a plate of 8 pieces of gnocchi and 5 pieces of shrimp. price is too high for the amount of food you get. the server who served my table was new which is fine, but she didn't take note of my table's orders and came back 3 times to 'double check' if she got the right order for us and was mistaken all 3 times. she didn't ask if we had any allergies/food preferences and my friend who is muslim was served a dish that had pork in it without her knowing. all in all it was an ok experience, definitely not worth the money. new staff definitely needs more training before letting them serve.

    So, why did we wait this long to eat here? From the moment we stepped inside we felt at home. Warm and inviting from the staff and a "London'esque" ambiance made us feel like were on a vacation in the UK somewhere. We tried the Caprese salad, the home made Momo's - a nepalese dumpling with a delicious tomato sauce. Mains were the Seafood noodle bowl and the Tonkatsu Curry(it was a special that night - but i was told the special has been running for a longer time than usual because it was popular - and rightfully so!) We didn't save room for dessert - next time!

    I was amazed how this quaint Italian/Japanese fusion restaurant made a name in 17 avenue, I heard a lot of good reviews about this place so finally got to try their flair of dishes that made it to the top of my palate list… Can’t express enough how good was their tuna tartar, it’s creaminess and the avocado melts in your mouth. And had the seafood pasta… it was with lobster, shrimp and cutlets of salmon and tossed with salmon roe that adds freshness to the pasta taste… it was perfect and to top it all with decadent dessert to end our night!

    Everything was outstanding. From the moment we walk in to the restaurant, the service was impeccable. You are felt very welcome from the start through the entirety of your stay. The wait staff is attentive and know the menu well. Details of the meals including the texture and taste for each dish and specials. We were easily talked into the specials based on the description provided. The meals came out in a good manner time from being ordered, allowing you to enjoy and appetizer and some good talk. The meals were exactly as described. They were delicious. After the meal, you are not rushed out to fill the seat but allowed to enjoy the ambiance and digest. We will be back again. Do make reservations as this place is always busy and for good reason.

    Fantastic venue with incredibly creative fusion food! We ordered everything on the specials menu and it was incredible. Everything is perfectly sharable and the "desert tasting" menu option is such a fantastic idea.
