    The food I fail to believe is even real japanese food. I didnt see a single japanese person present in the staff, and it shows. The karage was actually a salt and pepper squid style batter, not the real thing. Sushi rolls were awful, chewy nori with bad texture and no flavour, small and expensive. Sushi rolls were 100% amateur hour but not amateur priced. A japanese restaurant NEEDS at least good sushi rolls.

    Mains with rice were served on a flat plate instead of bowls, absolutley silly when you need to be able to eat with chopsticks. Clear sign that someone isn't thinking, maybe they ran out of bowls on the night? I cant be too harsh here, it was just.....weird.

    That said, my main was tasty but its kind of hard to bugger up chicken and rice with sauce. Might be a matter of just ordering some ramen and or rice dishes as these are kinda hard to stuff up...just be weary on the rolls.

    One of my friends said their sashimi was okay, so theres that.

    The edamame beans were stingy, tiny bowl for 5 or 6 dollars. They're supposed to be a cheap appetiser for everyone to share. Needed to be more of them.

    Service, we were sat in the middle of everyone, with staff walking by us left and right for 5 -10 minutes before we were even given menus. Then, people who came in after this point sitting right across from us were served. No one even asked if we wanted drinks. Nothing until like 15 or 20 minutes sitting there. I still don't know what that was about. We felt invisible.

    Its a shame because the actual place itself has great atmosphere and seating, quite authentic, would be great if the food and service could match...

    Look I hate being harsh but I never ever leave reviews, and I know alot of businesses in Lismore are struggling right now, but it wasnt up to scratch. I dont care if i have to wait, just make sure my food is matching the price.

    I honestly dont know how this place I visited has nearly 5 stars. I want to give it 2 or 3 stars but that just seems unreasonable.

    They need to step up and get their beautiful establishment to have matching food for the money and the service. I want to hope it was just a bad night for them or a head chef was sick or something, but If you really require real japanese food and real good quality, take a drive over to ballina instead. The price of the food seems about identical.

    Im leaving this at 4 stars for now as to not rock any boats, but ill edit it lower for good or post another if they havent improved when I return.
