Small restaurant in a alley but not hard to find. As it's small the space is narrow inside. Afterall, the food is good, portion is big with affortable price. Staff is friendly and ready to help if you asked. The only problem is the soup is quite salty to me, but JP food is salty in general so no complain here.
The sushi was good, but the waiter seemed a bit confused and forgot two of our dishes. Restroom 8/10 – Surprisingly pleasant.
Tucked away in a little alley off the main alley this little gem is worth every penny! We returned for seconds having had a delicious meal a week earlier and if anything it is even better. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the ambience is very traditional japanese and the food is soooooooo good! Sake selection is spot on too...
Absolutely outstanding Japanese dining experience at Rikyu. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors are clean and precise, and every dish shows real craftsmanship rather than over-decoration. The sashimi is top-grade, the rice is perfectly seasoned, and the balance of each course is spot on. Service is attentive, professional, and never intrusive — exactly what fine Japanese dining should be. A place that respects tradition while delivering consistent quality. Worth coming back for, without hesitation.
⸻ I can’t believe I only discovered this amazing restaurant now — the value for money is incredible! The food was truly delicious, made with fresh ingredients and beautifully presented. The prices are very reasonable. The place is clean and cozy, and the staff are exceptionally polite with cheerful smiles. We arrived too early before opening, but they still welcomed us in and even served us tea while we waited — such thoughtful service 💛 Everything was so satisfying that I’ll definitely be coming back to try other dishes next time. Overall rating: ⭐️ 9.8 / 10 P.S. It started raining as we were leaving, and one of the staff kindly insisted on giving me a big umbrella. Such a simple but heartwarming gesture ❤️❤️❤️
