If you are in the area and want a change this is a good option. The service is definitely good and the food fresh (5-stars there), just not enough flavor.

That said- I was so happy to eat their food as a change in pace from non-stop kabobs and donor. Finally something different. Oh and funny thing- they have no pork on the menu (which is the national meat of China). A true first for a Chinese restaurant in my experience.

The best vine leaves to date: fresh with a sweet aftertaste. Also delicious fried artichoke and calamari, hummus and shepherd's purse salad. That would've been more than enough for two but we had also ordered bass baked w chard and cheese which arrived sizzling, in delicious rolls. Everything tasted freshly made, served without pretension and at fair price. A find!

For a country with such great cuisine, this place is terrible. Also, the waiter recommended a dessert that was not on the menu. It sucked. (I don't remember the name)

Then we all ended up coming here together on my last day -- after trying it out with my lady. The filipino sushi chef was everything here. He was so kind, and helpful to my lady who he accommodated with vegan dishes. The toro here is better than many American sushi places I've been to! It is high quality. For the price -- we wanted to buy everything. Lol. Most of all, this place is authentic Japanese food! It is is co-Owned by Japanese as well as Turkish. The chefs in the kitchen are Japanese. No wonder why my Chicken Katsudon was on point. Brought back memories of Japan for me. I truly miss this place already. It's by far the bear in Istanbul as far as authenticity. Can't wait to come back.

I wouldn't rate this place as fine dining by no means but certainly is few notches above fast food. Over time i've tried Japanese and swore not to try again. But their Chinese rocks.

Since all the waiters will be trying to cajole you into their restaurant, you need to walk with a determined look on your face while casually letting your eyes survey in your peripheral vision. When we got to the end of the street, my friend and I turned to each other and surprisingly both said "the one with all the world flags hung up inside?" "Done." So we walked back down the street with the same determined look in our eye, avoiding all the charming waiters except the one for this restaurant. We got seated at the very top, where we got a nice view of the street. We had two appetizers and one entree each: the sarma, caviar, coban salad and a kebab dinner. I can't say enough good things about the sarmas. Nothing I have ever tasted before in any Turkish restaurant in the US compares. At all. Needless to say, we wiped all our little plates clean and were satisfied until the next morning, when we ventured out for a pastry shop breakfast.
