Reviews
Affordable and tasty Japanese food in a very cosy Glenferrie shopfront. We ordered beef teriyaki, chicken katsu curry, and some korokke. Food came out quick and hot.
Note that this place has limited seating, and there is often a wait. Staff will take your name for a waitlist, and you can go for a wander and a drink, like we did.
A simple and small Japanese place serving good food at very reasonable prices.
Ordered:
Tobiko Gunkan - generous topping of Tobiko.
Sushi Bento Box - swapped the soba noodles for rice instead. Decent cuts of salmon sashimi, 4x nigiri, 2x California maki, edamame, seaweed salad and fruit.
Unagi Bento Box - comes with one each of an ebi fry, takoyaki, gyoza and Agedashi tofu plus a small serve of salmon sashimi, edamame, seaweed salad and fruit. The unagi sauce is served on the side.
Service was friendly, polite and accommodating. Well portioned for the price. Tea is complimentary. Order via a touch screen pad at the table. Pay at the counter.
Amazing food, good service and experience! I couldn’t believe how good the chicken katsu curry and Agedashi Tofu here. Not to mention Sashimi an the Beef teriyaki delicious. Will definitely be back!
Also very busy restaurant but cheap and very good food. Highly recommend chicken katsu curry and then the bento boxes for meals. If dining in, they offer hot tea for drinks and electronic menu to order from.
Amazing value. $16 for katsu curry don with that portion just wow. i forgot to take pic :(
Very affordable and delicious wholesome meal! Definitely recommend for a quick lunch or takeaway meal!
Service is always quick here! Perfect for when you are super hungry. The unagi bento or don is definitely our favourite, but perhaps the only dish we go after. We think the quality of the dishes in general has gone down over the years. It used to be one of our budget go-to's. But the beef tataki we had was super thinly sliced, and the sauce for it was quite different from other restaurants, the ginger taste was too strong for us. The sushi roll we had was quite average too with very minimal avacado. The curry udon was okay, but did not have any meat for the same price as a chicken curry rice don. Overall, food was okay, not bad at all. But you wouldn't come here for authenticity and freshness of food. The prices have gone up. We would still come back for the unagi don, but that's probably the only thing we would be getting.
Overall the food was good. The takoyaki balls were a little funny. The texture of them was dense, perhaps not cooked thoroughly. Dengaku eggplant was a large portion, again could have done with more time cooking. The salmon, beef, and chicken katsudon were quite tasty.
