I went just before closing and they had sold out with most things. However, the service was fantastic. She made me a rice dish with dumplings from scratch and they were very tasty! Thank you very much, I will be returning!!!

This is our regular lunch place and the food is amazing, after eating here we've all noticed it makes other curry places look bad by comparison. We love the food so much of the team took his other half there for food to show off how good it is. The staff are great, always a smile and service is not only high quality but prompt as well. Even with a busy queue you can generally get served in minutes, it's so good they make McDonald's look slow but you get much better food. Portion sizes are good and the food is very well made, I can't say a bad thing about it. If you're in Newcastle I would recommend going and trying the Chicken katsu Curry, you can customise it for example a colleague and myself like extra sauce which they added loads of.

An amazing place. Such a great stop for lunch, which offers an affordable and delicious stop for lunch. Chicken Katsu is fantastic, served with rice and vegetables. Well worth a visit, surprisingly busy over lunchtime and a real treat to see a small business expanding in response to the wonderful food on offer. Overall, well worth a visit to eat in or takeaway.

Hidden gem tucked away in the middle of the uni campus. Great selection of food and very well priced for what you get. Everything I've tried has been amazing, trying to work my way through the menu.

Do Not Eat here. Yuckysoba. Japanese restaurant tasting almost like some other cuisine. Frozen mixed vegetables £5.9. Couldnt even eat this meal. I am not one for wasting food however this was definitely not going to be forced inside me. I wouldnt even feed a dog with this food. Miso soup was from a packet. How can restaurants like this be open? Awful
