Booked a private room with min spend RM100 per adult and RM50 per child. Food is nice, all foods worth the price. …

Great services. Staff were polite and attentive. Ordered multiple different foods ranging from salad, noodles to sushi. Overall, the foods were Okay, could be better. Taste were very flavorful, sometimes too much until they overpowered their natural taste. The rice made for sushi and maki were not that good in our opinion, they were too packed. For the wagyu beef sushi, they should reduce the rice by half since the beef was so thin. Our favorite was probably the crab meat salad.

Pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food at this price. Service wasn't great as we had to wait for spoons, and extra plates for 15 minutes but the food was good, will definitely come back.
