Had dinner at Aaya.
Quality of food was very good although portions were relatively small.
Prices are fair but not cheap.
Service was overall good although a little slow.

First and foremost I found both the service and ambience bordering on 10. Lunch with my 'I really only eat Japanese' daughter at this place was inevitable.
The siganture dish of Tuna Katsu Tataki was the best of the lot, melt in the mouth with crunch, they could well put this dish on the map like what Nobu did with the Black Cod. The Chicken Teriyaki was perfectly cooked and tender but let down by the over saltiness of the teriyaki marinade. Both the Mixed Tempura and Soft Shell Crab Roll were pretty generic, not a patch on either Dinings or Chisou. The final dish of Sea Bream Meishi was a strange, it was more of a risotto and I kept thinking about where's my grated parmesan.
Ingredients are obviously well sourced and the dishes beautifully presented, for Nouveau Japanese tuck it needs more assurance on the overall taste side of things.
I shall but only come back to sample the other dishes in the not too distant future.
