"The interior’s keynote black bespeaks modern dining; the cuisine, modern Chinese with further innovations, confirms the impression. The concept of Chinese-French fusion cuisine adds uniqueness, exemplified by the foie gras sandwiched between two thin, crisp wafers redolent with Shaoxing wine. Use of decompression cooking and liquid nitrogen ensure that ingredients retain all their flavour. Advanced methods give rise to new directions in cuisine." - Michelin Inspector

Came for the lunch service and was not let down. Every course had great flavor and the meal was served with nice pace. We were able to watch the kitchen prepare every course and the service was good with explanations of each dish. Inventive dishes that tasted good and left us full and satisfied.

My first time dining at a Michelin starred Chinese restaurant. It turned out to be an amazing experience, thanks to the chefs. Each dish had various flavors, and everything was well balanced. The staff were professional and friendly, too.

Posting this 2 years after eating there… 🤣The craftsmanship and creativity is mind blowing. One of the best meals we’ve had. Especially loved the twist / unique interpretation on Chinese cuisine - brings back lots of childhood memory for me. Can’t wait to go back again!

We've had the pleasure of having lunch and dinner with them and with all due respect, dinner is way better. While lunch is good and offers the same incredible desserts as dinner, their main dish served at lunch is pork, which is kind of disappointing considering the price and how good dinner is. The service is really good and the vibe is quite formal, but you are still able to hold a conversation without feeling like it's inappropriate. The restaurant is located in the second floor of the Good Nature Market and the restrooms are located outside of the restaurant. Reservations are required, since I believe they don't have walk ins. In case you have allergies or any food restrictions, you have to be super specific about them when making the reservation, I strongly encourage you to double check and confirm as many times as possible via email.

Wow wow wow. Hits after hits. Bold rich taste speaks for itself. Elevated and innovative Chinese cuisine at its finest. 10+ course and we selected the 11,000 yen menu; we left really full. Each dish was a banger with no misses. They also thoughtfully catered and prepped for our pescatarian diet. Hands down one of the most delicious meals in recent memory. Can't get better than the price to food ratio, especially at a 2 starred Michelin restaurant. Well worth! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They can explain the ingredients in English and Japanese. The entire restaurant had to more or less eat at the same place which was fine since we took and documented our experience. Reservations made online and we were lucky enough to get one less than one week out. Highly recommended and will definitely be back with family and friends.

As someone who dinned in a many Michelin restaurants I would like to compliment the creativity of the chef of his interpretation of Chinese cuisine to fine dining. It was outstanding and well deserved its star rating. As well they made a great alternative and show flexibility for gluten free dishes. Thank you

Booked this for a high end meal on our trip before we set off for Tokyo and we were not disappointed. Firstly the restaurant is on the 2nd floor of a building - it has a very cool looking dark ambience about it. Quote intimate with only 6 tables or so - but well spaced out so you still feel private at your table. The staff were great and very welcoming. The drinks menu was pretty limited (the only beer is a stout), but the Greek rose wine we ordered was lovely so not a huge issue. Be warned - come hungry! There is a huge amount of food. Won’t give away what the courses are but we thoroughly enjoyed every single 1. A proper fine dining experience. Thoroughly recommend for any food lovers.

Best Michelin Restaurant we went to during our trip. Staff (front and back of house) operated so efficiently with super smooth service and transitions. The plating and ambiance were so interesting and exceptional as well. Come hungry because you will be full. You can also ask for smaller portions to experience a bite of everything. Lunch for ¥ 11,000 a person was honestly a steal.
