Nestled discreetly at the end of the High Street, this charming restaurant might escape casual notice, but it’s well worth seeking out. Renowned for serving some of the finest sushi and Japanese cuisine in the area, it boasts a menu that delights from start to finish. The staff—who I suspect are the owners—are both warm and efficient, adding to the inviting atmosphere. Every dish, from the starters to the decadent yet subtly sweet mochi dessert, was exceptional. Highlights included the impeccably fresh sushi (among the tastiest we’ve had locally) and the flavorful fried duck rice bowl paired with tangy kimchi. An unforgettable dining experience—we’ll absolutely return and wholeheartedly recommend it to others.- Food

They did an absolutely incredible platter of sushi for my daughter’s 16th birthday!! Even my husband who claims he doesn’t actually like sushi really enjoyed some of it! (It was originally just for two of us but they allowed us to call in some reinforcements as there was so much 😂)Very lovely staff too. Am looking forward to going to back again.

Absolutely stunning! Service was great and the food outstanding. If you like Chinese or Japanese food, then you MUST try this restaurant. Dry pot cabbage and shredded eggplant were as good as the udon bowl and the sushi rolls. My wife and I are fussy and could find no fault with this place. Top rated.

Excellent food this evening and friendly staff that served us. This is authentic Chinese food and way above a ‘normal’ takeaway so I can thoroughly recommend this one.

Very good Chinese food but SUPERB Japanese food, especially the sushi which I can highly recommend! It is made fresh to order by the staff. Whilst more of a café atmosphere, this place represents excellent value for money.

This is a very good find. Best Chinese restaurant I have been so far, I’m comparing this to restaurants I have been in Chinatown in London. Food looks and tastes great! Really good.

This restaurant is one of my favorite restaurants in Exeter . It’s not only maintain the taste on their food but also the service is quite impressive. I usually eat grilled fish and Sichuan dishes . Would recommend to people who want to try the authentic Chinese cuisine.

Lovely sushi, very fresh! even lovelier staff, will certainly be returning. The price is incredibly reasonable for the quality, by far the best sushi in exeter 🤍( the pic doesn’t do justice as we had already eaten most of it 🤣)

We’ve eaten in twice since opening and have been more than happy both times. The quality of the food and the skill of the chef are excellent. The first time I had lamb with cumin seeds and it was absolutely fantastic. The meat was cooked perfectly. The second time I had beef with black bean and again it was delicious. The menu has a lot of choice, with both Chinese and Japanese food. There are adventurous dishes like intestines and jellyfish, but also the usual stuff like sweet and sour chicken etc. so there is something for everyone.
Dietary requirements were catered for and the staff are very friendly.
Wheelchair access was fine, there is a permanent ramp at the door, and plenty of space inside to move around, however the toilet is down stairs.- Service
