We rocked up late afternoon for just dessert from the front counter display, and it was great! Some delicious options and very tasty & fresh.
One suggestion, have some ice-cream to buy separately, as the desserts would of been so much better paired with some cold icecream. We would of paid $10 a scoop if it was available!
Good service, chilled vibe, and it wasn't busy around 4pm when we arrived, but i believe you do need to book if you want to have dinner as its a popular place.
Thanks for the calories! Yum!

Had dinner here a few years ago but didn't make me want to come back, it was a while ago so I won't review that. Came here for dessert a couple of times in the past half a year, the hazelnut cake was a bit rancid, albeit beautifully presented, tiramisu wasn't too bad. On the expensive side, the place gets very stuffy on a hot day and there's no air flow, hence the low atmosphere score.

Absolutely incredible food, is now our new favourite in Wellington. Highly recommend the cocktails, teriyaki chicken and at least 1 dessert plus 1 takeaway dessert as they will leave u thinking about them all night!

Have been a customer of this restaurant for about 6 years and I have never been disappointed with the quality of the food. The service could be a bit more friendly but apart from that it's still good 😊

Came here for lunch.
Had the chicken Katsu curry and drinks and chips with paprika and Parmesan.
The curry was great and had peach tea.
Was a little expensive, but big servings

Nestled on the vibrant Cuba Street, this restaurant promises a delectable experience for any Japanese food enthusiast. My recent visit to this charming establishment left me with a gratifying impression of the culinary delights they have to offer.
Upon entering, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with traditional Japanese decor that transports you to the Land of the Rising Sun. The place is perfect for a relaxing meal with friends or family.
As I perused the menu, I noticed that the quality of the dishes matched the restaurant's pleasant ambiance. The prices were on the higher side, but the taste and presentation justified the expense. It's safe to say that the dishes were indeed worthy of the price tag.
The highlights of my dining experience were undoubtedly the makis, tempura, and chicken katsu. The makis were expertly rolled, and each bite was a symphony of flavors. The tempura boasted a light and crispy batter, accentuating the freshness of the ingredients. And the chicken katsu was a delightful combination of tender meat and a perfectly crunchy coating.
Though I didn't try the Japanese sweets and desserts, they were tempting to the eye.
One minor disappointment was the limited quantity of soy sauce, wasabi, and pink pickled radish provided with the dishes. As a fan of them, I found myself wanting more to enhance the flavors to my liking.
The staff, mostly young individuals, were friendly.
The quality and taste of the dishes made my visit worthwhile. If you're a fan of sushi, tempura, and chicken katsu, this place is a must-visit. And be sure to explore their Japanese sweets and desserts if you have a sweet tooth. I would happily return for another dining adventure and recommend it to others.

Cannot express how wonderful our High Tea experience was today. The service was excellent, the restaurant is gorgeous and the food - no words can cover the deliciousness of the 4 savoury and 5 dessert offerings. Utterly delectable. Worth every cent!!!

Great high tea experience! Both the savouries and the desserts were super good. I would go back for the matcha tiramisu alone, and the lemon rocher/quenelle was soooo yum. The blooming tea was very cute and overall had a good experience. We had to change our booking time to quite late and had to cancel for one person but the staff were super accommodating and understanding, so we really appreciated that! They also have a normal a la carte menu, and a dessert cabinet for individual desserts.
