^”A lot to like here. The service staff were fairly busy and initially not super responsive but definitely picked up towards the end of the night. The food was super delicious, really well made using high-quality ingredients. I did think relative to other sushi places I’ve been to there was a bit of a disproportionate amount of seafood sushi. We also had a mentally ill person standing in the middle of the restaurant yelling at himself for about 20 minutes before the staff did anything about it. Not really their fault though. Recommended!_”

Bincho Boss is a Japanese Izakaya Restaurant where you can come to enjoy authentic modern Japanese food paired with our curated cocktail and drinks menu.

^”Bincho Boss was a good experience. Some of the dishes were 7/10 but the rest are 10/10! Personal fav was the aburi scallop somen noodles, the dish was so refreshing yet so savoury from the aburi scallops. Next personal fav was the kingfish carpaccio, it was superb! Kingfish was fresh and the dressing was wonderful. However, price is slightly on the higher scale with such small portions. Overall, not too bad._”
