Had high hopes.. Aaaand those were shot down upon arrival. The place seemed understaffed as we waited at the hostess podium for a good ten minutes to no avail. The server saw us, and continued to stare us down while acting as if they were so so busy.Ambience: the inside is as quiet as an old tomb, literally. Pretty sure there was a mean ghost managing the place. Service protocol way outdated. Some cool bottles, art deco, and unagi tank to look at while regretting your choice to eat here instead of Gibbs hot wings upstairs.Food? Hmm... I'll start with something somewhat nice to say. The gyoza is not half bad, and it's edible. Was looking forward to the raw handmade udon noodle takeout but unfortunately after taking the order they informed us later that they had no more.The ugly: I got the curry udon which had something very questionable hidden within. Crunchy yet dissolvable. Managed to detect a small orange hard thingy. My theory? Fish food. Why was it in there? Don't care, at least it wasn't glass.

Great place for lunch. Prompt service. The gyoza and udon was excellent. Reasonable price too, under 800p total for two orders of each.  I will be back soon with the kids - they love Japanese food.
