It's definitely not a cheap eat but worth the experience as some of the flavours are the subtlest and most interesting I've had eating Japanese. Everything is delicately spiced and the tempura prawns are not oily but divine! If you're feeling adventurous try the omakase (degustation) menu!
This place is decorated beautifully with an incredibly intimate and soothing interior, with soft music playing in the background. Waitstaff are courteous and polite, speaking in hushed voices. The dinner menu and drinks list are both extensive. Choices do lean slightly towards the pricier side, but the quality of the ingredients is exceptional. Stock used in the Nabeyaki udon is one of the best I've tasted yet.
While the food here is quite delicious, it is definitely not great value for money. The serving sizes are one the small size, and the price is higher than at other Japanese restaurants. If you wish to dine here, I suggest going for a special occasion, it is not a restaurant to attend often.
