    They had a camera crew filming mid- day, disrupting patrons for an hour, and without informing ahead of time. Seemed to have only started apologizing when people started showing discomfort. Least they could do is compensate for the inconvenience in a small way. Server seems very eager to clean up the plates as soon as you put down your cutlery. Overall quite an uncomfortable experience, far cry from previous visits.

    I was quite disappointed with the choice in set menu, I expected more. My first experience in this restaurant but I’m sure there are more exciting things on the menu

    I’m a regular and I would’ve wished for the main courses to arrive after the starters and not everything at the same time, this is the second time I was experiencing this, but we still love this restaurant and everything coming out of the kitchen, however, our clay pot didn’t taste as it should.

    The beef gyoza, beef clay pot and the citrus soufflé were some of the best dishes I had in a while, even compared to more high end venues.

    I booked a dinner table during Dubai Restaurant Week, and I was taken aback by how delicious the food was. Seriously, it's beyond amazing! Truth be told, portions were very small and the price was slightly high. But then again they used premium ingredients and the presentation + service were impeccable. Will definitely visit again :)

    The food was good and the ambiance is nice but the service was misleading and spoiled what could have been a good experience.

    Restaurant week menu was OK but when I looked around, seems like the restaurant had more to offer. They didnt place their strongest dishes on the restaurant week menu. Dessert was incredible though.

    Starters were very good, slightly disappointed at the 18h ramen, not very flavorful and the chicken (skewer) quiet dry :( Service and staff 5/5

    We were properly dress for special restaurant experience, and to our surprise the restaurant manager located us in the informal area of the restaurant were people in flip flops and shorts walked in for dinner. Food was good but not being licenced is an issue.
