Pass the door and you'll be transported to the other side of the world, ready to indulge in the flavors of Japanese teppanyaki. The wooden beams, overall décor and large open kitchen give it that authentic feel, but beyond the welcoming look and feel you will get to appreciate some excellent food. Not to mention, good value for money if you consider how expensive Japanese food can be in Belgium. We went on a busy Saturday night and were seated at the counter facing the sushi chef. Things seemed to run very smoothly and we ordered sashimi for starters followed by a prawn and a beef teppanyaki. The sashimi was fresh and tasted great. It was very nice to be able to see the chefs at work, slicing and dicing, and the plating up right in front of you. The teppanyaki that followed were equally good, with a preference for my beef order accompanied by tasty mushrooms and a flavorsome jus. Prawns were no showstopper but weren't in any way bad. Good food here, and proof you don't need to be Japanese to master the iron griddle and cook good food. The Belgian head chef does a fine job surrounded by his Japanese team.

We were guided to a nice table with a view on the small garden and pond. We started off with two Japanse cocktails, one of which came in a ceramic figurine. We got the bento box and the teppanyaki beef. Every bit of the lunch menu (some appetizers and a miso soup) came at a leisurely pace. Our main course was very tasty and appealing to the eye. All in all it was a wonderful culinary experience. We'll be sure to come again!

This is near his home and he had heard good things about it. It is tucked away in a neighborhood and situated in what looked to have been a former residence. We were seated right away because of having reservations. It was quite busy for a Monday night, partially due to a work celebration that involved quite a few people. They occupied quite a bit of the moderate-sized dining area. Nonetheless, the atmosphere was conducive to a nice meal. The service was likewise terrific as our wait person attended to us quickly. The team did a great job all night. The highlight was the menu. The creativity and combinations were nothing like what I've found at any other restaurant in the past. There were European options and Japanese options, all of which sounded extraordinarily tempting. For starters, there was a small charcuterie board with bread, crostinis, salami and tomato chutney already on the table. The chutney was excellent. We augmented the starter repertoire with calamari that was also extremely well done. My colleague and I both chose the Gyoza dinner for our mains. This came with 12 pieces accompanied by a salad and rice. It was outstanding. I also must compliment their wine selection, as the Malbec they offered was one of the best I've had in some time. The prices were not inexpensive, but yet were commensurate with the quality of the fare. With all included, our final bill was €129 for the two of us, which was about $143 with the exchange rate at the time. At $71.50 per person, it was not cheap, but was also well worth the quality of the fare. Overall, I was quite happy with my experience at this restaurant. I would highly recommend it for a unique take on cuisine offerings. It presents an opportunity for a lovely evening out.
