Staff were all exceptional, especially since it was a busy Friday night. We sat outside in the courtyard which was cute. Unfortunately the food was pretty ordinary and nothing really wowed us. Find Japanese food in general in Melbourne has too many fried or deep fried dishes with kewpie mayo.

Outstanding, I’ve been there a few times over the years and it never fails to disappoint. Food was even better than I remembered. It’s definitely my favorite place to go in Melbourne.

The whole experience blew our minds! Food was incredible, wait staff were on point and the atmosphere was immersive! We came on a very hot night and wished we booked outdoors as inside was quite stuffy. Other than that…good for kids as they were very entertained with all the decorations around the restaurant! Amazing feast! Definitely recommend!
