AI Summary

An upmarket CBD sushi train with real wasabi, genuinely raw fish and a bossa nova soundtrack.

A modern, music-driven sushi train with a bar feel. bossa nova and jazz on vintage speakers, cocktails flowing, open till midnight; more lounge than typical conveyor-belt sushi shop.

Real wasabi rather than paste, a curated cocktail list including caipirinhas and Gibson martinis, vintage speakers playing bossa nova and jazz, and a sushi train stocked with genuinely raw, non-Westernised fish.

Reviewers who've recently visited Japan or other Japanese restaurants call the quality 'Japanese standard'; the venue explicitly avoids Westernised rolls like tuna-avocado in favour of traditional raw fish.

Split opinion. most reviewers say the premium pricing (plates often $8-9, some bills $150-200 for two) is justified by genuinely fresh, non-mainstream fish, but a vocal minority call it overpriced for a sushi train.
