In the heart of China Town is Shou Sumiyaki, introducing diners to the other side of Japanese cuisine. Sumiyaki dining is based on a Japanese ‘smokeless charcoal grill', where customers can barbecue their own meats for an enjoyable dining experience. Wagyu beef is a speciality at Shou, but there is also a range of sashimi and seafood, as well as an extensive range of Sake and Japanese-inspired cocktails.
