Decent enough Japanese place doing relatively cheap food in pretty large portions. Kake only managed about a third of her main course. (They're happy to pack up leftovers for you, but charge 20p for this.)

Service is sometimes a little slow, but is friendly. We also had to queue for about 10 minutes to get a table at 13:30 on a Tuesday afternoon, and again at around 9pm on a Monday evening.

The spicy chicken sticks were underwhelming and not very spicy. The Curry Laksa noodles were very tasty at £5.25. They also now have a sushi menu, with a reasonable choice; the eel nigiri was fine.

Vegetarians are well catered for, with a number of vegetable/tofu dishes available. The tofu is deep-fried, and reasonably tasty. Haven't checked recently about vegan-ness, but I know I ate here when I was vegan --Kake.

The drinks menu is small but varied, including some interesting soft drinks as well as beer, wine, and sake. The plum wine spritzer (£2.30) is rather nice.
