Excellent atmosphere and very good food. Enjoyed the friendly service - and we will definitely be back in the near future. Had the Wednesday night special , some gyozas - and tried both deserts on the menu. Deserts were a little disappointing for me, but I probably need a little more practice!!

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.
