What an absolutely incredible experience. Amazing decor...reminded me of being right back in Tokyo. The food was all delicious, beers were excellent and the service was fantastic. I can't wait to come back next time I'm in Melbourne.

The food was excellent, as I have halal requirements. The staff clearly explained how the food was cooked, so we knew how it was prepared. The ambience was great, with background music and people around, but not too loud. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely be coming again in the future.

Amazing food, you feel you are in Tokyo. So many different options. Majority of them were great. Steak was not to my liking. Service was amazing, we have been served by Sofian and he had great charm and very knowledgeable of the menu and fun to talk to. Great service even at a very busy time. Cocktails had room to improve and have better variation. Highly recommend this place.

I dined here for lunch and had a great experience. The staff were very accommodating and the food was superb. I tried the chirashi hand roll with takuan cucumber, it was unique and absolutely delicious. One of the best I've had in Melb!

Dined here yesterday for an early dinner, walked past here a number of times and had it in my list to try. Food was fantastic, had the edamame, salmon sashimi, chargrilled kingfish wing, yakitori meatball, squid, steak, pumpkin and a couple of drinks. Service was great, food all had a nice Smokey/wood fire flavour. Highly recommend! We sat facing outside the restaurant to flinders st and it felt as if we were the only ones in the restaurant. Great experience!
