"Venue: This was a business 'after hours ' outing with colleagues/partners. Venue is fairly sparten with wooden seats, simple wall decoration and slightly industrial feel. Warm welcome when I arrived.. Located on a busy intersection of Old Street and Goswell Road. Service: was attentive and polite, not intrusive. 12.5% service charge is added automatically.Food: I have my doubts about the 'fusion ' menu and would have preferred something more pure Japanese. However, this is a personal view my companions enjoyed their dishes. there was a good range of sushi but I went for the tempura which was well done. Side dishes of rice and miso soup came in over sized bowls making the portions look a little mean. My companions ordered the set menus £25 which offered three courses, none of which were large portions but all quite fresh.Drink: Small range of the 'usual ' Japanese beers, would have been nice to see something less predictable than Czech brewed Asahi. Two red wines by the glass, about half a dozen by the bottle. A good range of cocktails on a Japanese theme.Facilities: The toilets downstairs were pretty unpleasant, not very clean, no soap and no hand drying facilities this could have been much better and a surprising let down for a Japanese establishment.Overall it was good, but certainly not great. It didn 't feel like brilliant value and the venue was not special at all. For the above average prices one would expect a little more. The service was friendly and the food of good quality, I would say that is more four stars but overall I 'd give this a three. I probably wouldn 't go back (I prefer Satsuma or Ten Ten Tei on Brewer St) but this might be your thing."
