Je recommande fortement ! A deux nous avons pris un menu Duo 1 et des samoussas et j'ai pris un bowl en plus car incertain des quantités. Le bowl n'était au final pas nécessaire car les quantités sont très généreuses. Tout était excellent. Les prix sont entièrement justifiés au vu de la qualité et de la quantité. Le tout servi par des gens très sympathiques font que je ne peux que recommander à quiconque cherche à manger japonais.
