Fantastic stay, GREAT value!

vegan optionsdelicious currygenerous portiongood presentation
I found a good table at the restaurant even though it was quite busy. The menu had many options including choices for vegans. I definitely recommend the Katsu curry as it tasted delicious. The portion was generous and the food presentation was very good.
The bathroom was a little dated, with the shower losing pressure ONCE.
