Such a cute little Japanese spot! 🥢💕 The food is outstanding – every dish was fresh, authentic, and bursting with flavour. Service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious Japanese food in a relaxed setting.

Best meal out I've had in ages! The cuisine was exceptional, and as a vegan I had so much choice. Enjoyed the salads to start and the hearty and comforting noodle bowl, perfect for a rainy day

Absolutely phenomenal food!! We are from Melbourne Australia and have been travelling England and Scotland. This for me was the best meal I have had since I have been here. It was quality food that tasted fresh and home made and I could tell the owner takes real pride in his shop. This is a real hidden gem in the Lake District!! Nice to see some healthy options on the menu too if your looking for some fresh wholesome food. Lived the beef udon!!

The best food we’ve had so far on our tour! I had the Japanese Curry + Rice and it was fantastic! My friends had the Special Chicken Graze Rice Bowl and said it was great as well! We would definitely recommend checking it out.

Our family enjoys Japanese food and we were delighted to find this place in the Lake District. The food is absolutely delicious—especially the Japanese curry bowls, which were rich, comforting, and incredibly flavorful. You can really taste the care and authenticity in every bite. There was a little confusion when we first arrived about how and where to place our order, and the food did take over 30 minutes to come out. That said, the quality more than made up for the wait. Once the food arrived, it was clear it was worth waiting for.

It is quite small so you couldn't come here in a big group I ordered the tofu curry and rice, for dessert I had the Brazil nut sour cherry. The curry was sweet and the dessert was rich. Thanks!

We were looking for something more than the usual vegetarian options of bean burger, pizza or vegetarian chilli and this place really hit the mark. The food is simple but absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend it to everyone, vegan, vegetarian or meat eater.

Great place to have lunch, we were the last call and the place ran out of ingredient for 1 meal, but the boss and chef came up with a delicious soup on the house for me, the ramen dishes was flavorful, really filled us up for the day. Overall a great experience for me and my family visiting the town!

Family was craving for some ramen when we came across this lovely cafe during our stroll around town. The food definitely hit all the spots. I went for the rice bowl, though was still craving for some hot soup and (i believe it was) the owner who very kindly recommended the black Miso soup, (it was divine). 5 stars for both food and service. Thank you.
