Thank you Nippon Kitchen, great Japanese restaurant very close to Queen Street train station. I was there for dinner with my wife, we booked our table in advance for a Saturday night. Despite arriving 15 minutes early we were seated almost straight away no problem. I loved the decor and the food was excellent. Service was also very good but I was not convinced about the music. Look forward to another visit in the future.

Great atmosphere as soon as you walk in. I started with salmon sushi set and was very impressed. Fresh and delicious. Salmon nigiri stood out for me. My main was a chicken bento,The portions are generous and was not expecting so much. Every aspect of the meal was great. Finished with banana tempura which was phenomenal. Service was very fast. All dishes came out quickly and at the same time considering I was with a large group.

Had a really lovely meal here for my daughter's birthday. The food was delicious and the 4 of us left completely satisfied. The service was very friendly, attentive and warm and we are looking forward to our next visit! *edit* my daughter returned the following night with her friend, and once again received 5 Star service and amazing food! Her particular favourite was the tapoyaki starter. Delicious!

A very warm welcome the moment we walked in, very nice server. He was very attentive and refilled our tea when he noticed it was low without waving him down. We both ordered the duck ramen, one spicy. On the menu it lets you know that the duck is battered, which is fine. However, I think I'd prefer it not to be battered as it's in a soup and it gets soggy. The bottom of the duck had a gooey/jelly texture (4th pic). Nevertheless the flavour was great and the portion was big (a lot of meat). The spicy soup kind of reminded me of tom yum soup. Nice bowl of hearty warm soup noodle, perfect for a rainy cold day.

Lovely food and quiet atmosphere. Service was a bit slow as drinks came after the starters. But not really something to moan about.

Changing my review...... Been here a few times now and yes,the food is Delcious but the waitresses/waitors are absolutely Abysmal. What a cheek to put 10% gratuity. It's ashame as the food is so good but not cheap so the service shod be better. I've taken 3 groups of friends here and we all won't be back.

We went here for a team lunch today without a booking. There were nine of us and they accommodated us at the one table (until a tenth turned up and we had to split tables but we totally understood) which I thought was great at such short notice. They do a 15.95 lunch deal which many of us took up, 2 courses, and I chose starter and main. The food was lovely as always and the server was friendly and attentive. It's the second time I've been here and always enjoyed it.
