“ Such a secret gem! One of these restaurants where the food is still good and not that commercialised. Authentic sushi for a VERY! fair price. When I opened the menu I felt so light, because it’s basically just two pages. The opposite of overwhelming like it’s normal in most restaurants these days. They do the basics and they do them really good in an authentic atmosphere. But if you go there, go early, because they just have a hand full of tables. ”
