Noisy atmosphere, but very efficient friendly staff and good food. The wine was disappointing, but the helpful staff enquired about it as it was new and seemed interested in the feedback, Please add gyoza to your menu. We will be back,

Delicious food, great service, very popular and cosy spot. Only small issue were the large amount of bugs present - perhaps due to the location we were seated. Overall, very comfortable and I'll be back.
