Summary:
I was killing time in the Bullring when I came across this small restaurant.
There are no individual tables but long bars with bar stools.
The menu has all usual “common” Japanese dishes: bento box, yakisoba, deep fried cutlets with penko, Japanese curry and rice………sushi and tempura.
I tried the chef selection of sushi at £5.95. It turned out to be thin slabs of fish on a lump of vinegary rice. The fishes were prawn, eel (both cooked) , raw salmon and a white fish – no tuna. It was ok – much better than the packed stuff you buy in supermarket and significantly cheaper and about the same quality as Yo! Sushi in the basement floor of Selfridges (also in the Bullring).
The mixed tempura – vegetables and prawn – was a bit greasy but again fine for £6.65.
The bill with sencha (tea) came to under £15. They also have an online shop (see website)
Park under Bullring or any other city car park.

really like this place. chefs and waiters are great and the food is brilliant – really good quality and genuine. heard though that the owner is not good to his staff. real shame because this is a good place – the food is certainly worth a visit and i hope the staff get recognised cos they should

Interesting comment ! Very strange as we do treat our staff very well and arrange regular parties, even invited to our own house ! But we had to let one recent employee go as all he wanted to do was cause trouble, complained about everybody and we now regret ever taking him on and now we are getting these comments.
It is a shame that he has gone down to this sort of level but I am glad that he has gone, our replacement chef has fitted in very well and we have a happy team again !
