this was our first time in this fusion restaurant (japanese/peruvian) located just at the beginning of ponsonby. we had grilled octopus, tostada with heirloom tomato, volcano sushi rolls, pork belly bun, artichoke dumplings, vegetable steamed bun, charcoal black meringue, tapioca meringue and a couple of wines. we loved the german riesling spatlese. all the dishes were good, volcano sushi was quite entertaining but we are giving props this time to the vegetable steamed bun with its great flavor, texture and presentation.the place was full when we arrived around 20:45 on saturday night and the services were not as great as we expected. timing was not good and we had to wait for quite while people rushing around and doing other stuff until they finally notice us. another thing we notice is that main door is extremely heavy, don't even know how the ladies are able to open that door. because the service is fundamental for us once it influences the whole experience and the food in general didn't impress us that much, we are not giving the highest score this time. however, we will get back to this place on another opportunity and give it another chance to change our mind.
