We were there for an early dinner at 6pm. The music was so loud, we had to shout to hear each other. We asked twice for the music to be a little softer, but they put it up again within 5 minutes. What's the point of having to shout whilst having dinner? The food was very mediocre. The so called tempura was soggy and nothing to do with Japanese tempura. The aubergine was dry and under-cooked, again, nothing to do with the Nasu aubergine Japanese dish. The service was slow, we waited 45min for our first dish and we had to ask twice our waiter about our food. People arriving after us had almost finished eating, we hadn't even started. The waiter took away a plate where there was still food and didn't ask if we had finished (we hadn't indeed).
The only truly good dish were those with raw fish, both were excellent.
If you cherish true Japanese food, this is not the place. If you want nice cocktails and disco-style settings, this is for you :)
