A lot of reviews said this was genuine Japanese food - and they're right. The price is rather high though and I'm not sure it represents good value for money. More

After reading all the comments about this restaurant I decided to try it out. The owner is a very nice guy but to my opinion the food was not that good. I do not think I will return to eat here again. Maybe I have chosen the wrong day. More

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday, and booked well in advance since I was planning our holiday in Denmark. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed, and my boyfriend was offered a shot of birthday sake. We ordered a big double set menu of sushi, and it was a great mix of fresh, and beautifully presented sushi. The... More

Authentic sushi run by a japanese family (three generations). Recommend reservation especially on the weekends. Everything is freshly prepared and a small waiting time may occur. Open for lunch More

Family owned place, the grandmother, son and grandkids, run very well with a personal touch. We got the sushi and the Japanese beef menu, was made to the level expected and served with care by the owner. More

I know little about sushi but decided to try it one fall evening and was pleasantly surprised. Great little place serving fresh fish. I didn't try the non-sushi dishes so I can't comment on those. I had just made up my mind that I wanted to try sushi and this place just delivered! This place is simple however so forget... More

Loved this place. Authentic japenese, that is in a little side road, but was full to the brim the whole night we went - which speaks for itself! We had the bento box, I had terryaki chicken my partner had the dumpling box. totally delicious and so filling and full of flavour in every mouthful. We also had a few... More

After nine o clock, it seems that they are not really interested in selling food anymore.We wanted to ask for a second sushi plate, but the waiter ingored so long... More
