We had ordered Cheese maki roll - 8.5/10 Fried nori beef tacos-9/10 The Hibachi chicken with garlic rice was 10/10. We have loved that. And the mango drink was average. Highly recommending to try their items. Their decoration and the behaviour of their staffs were really good.
This place is so beautiful and calm!! I ordered a Japanese Shuffle Cheesecake and it was so tasty! Restaurant staff are also very well-behaved and friendly. I loved their behaviour, the mild zen music that was playing there, the soft lighting and decoration.
This is the finest and most authentic Japanese restaurant in Uttara. The interior is beautifully designed, and the food is absolutely delicious. The service is impressively quick, and the portion sizes are generous—most main dishes can easily be shared between two people. While it may be slightly pricey, the experience is undoubtedly worth it
It's one of the prettiest restaurants I've been to. The food was worth it, too.
For several time I enjoy my food there... all the time everythings was perfect... I will come again...
So you love Sushi? Do visit this place. A very aesthetically decorated place. Perfect for family or friends dine in. You can also invite your office guest/foreign guest here as well. Everyone will love the ambience. There are inside and outside sitting arrangements. But the restaurant is not that spacious and for outside sitting, mosquito was a problem as we went their in evening. Among their many options, we tried the Sushi Box (44 pieces) and it was perfect for our group (five people). In the box, there were avocado maki roll, Chicken Cheese maki roll, dragon maki roll, Ebi Sushi Nigri, Salmon Sushi Nigri, Sunset maki roll, Kani mayo maki roll, baked salmon maki roll. All were very yummy, but still my go to will be avocado maki roll. We also tried one platter, teriyaki beef rib eye bento. It seemed good for 2 people. Then we tried fried nori beef tacos. Absolutely recommending this one as well Lastly as dessert, we tried the Japanese cheesecake and have to tell that it was soooo good. A must try from Izakaya. This restaurant is very expensive. So if you are planning to treat, consider accordingly. Talking about their service, it was also very good.
Went there few days ago for the second time and the experience is: 1. Beef nori tacos: Earlier we tried on 2024 and ut was too good but this time it was good but not the best. Really expected more. 6/10 2. Deep fried Shimp maki roll: It was goood but was not anything like must try. 5/10 3. Ebi tempura: Was more than good. Shirmp was fresh and delicious. 7/10 4. Japanese cheesecake: Tried earlier in 2024 and today as well but the portion size became less but was delicious and enjoyabe. 7/10
Very good option of Japanese food in Dhaka city.Loved their ambience and food specially Hibachi rice and Japanese cheesecake.Good option for get together with family and friends.Food is expensive to mention also.
