Food was nice, atmosphere mostly good despite appearing as upmarket but having uber drivers in high vis walking through the front door which makes it feel more of a casual dining experience. Ie. Westfield would expect that. Attention for the servers was the issue that will turn us off revisiting. Simply ignored all night, had to flag down staff constantly.

Service was prompt. Drinks and starters were served very quickly after ordering. Food was very good. A good atmosphere, cool interior design, not too noisy. Apart from choosing curries and stir frys, didn’t appear to be a lot of options for vegetarians on the menu.

Such a beautiful aesthetic. Several tempting banquet menus, but we went a la carte. The edamame were full of flavour, the best I've had in Brisbane. Another stand out was the crunchy prawns. We will definitely be going back. Highly recommend for delicious Japanese with great service in a beautiful space.
