Attentive and friendly service; food was fresh, tasty and good quality (sashimi, chicken karaage). Atmosphere could be improved - the front door wouldn't close properly which made the seating area drafty and cold. We left to go have dessert elsewhere because of this. Toilet floor was wet with puddles, which was unappealing

Some of the best Japanese we've had for a long time. Very good quality and freshness. Every dish we had was beautifully presented and perfectly executed. An absolute pleasure to eat this menu, we will be back regularly! Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu! But will be almost impossible to pass on the Deluxe Sashimi Box, it was stunning! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice venue tucked away in a quieter part of Melbourne CBD We ordered a sushi plate, tuna tartare and the wagyu fried rice with bone marrow to share between two. There was a Sunday surcharge of 10% - bill ended up being ~$100 not including drinks Service was quick and the staff were very attentive.

Tasty dishes, fresh ingredients and flavoursome, well presented menu items. Seating arrangements are limited though, and staff not aware that mopping floor for the day with strong smelling disinfectant near customers tables is offputting. Service was friendly though. Would visit again

We visited Izakaya Hosaku during a short lunch time, the food is really good. We ordered 2 Washoku Sets, Wagyu Fried Rice, and Mackerel Fried Rice, all of them are really good and tasteful. The service was quick and all the staff are friendly as well. We would definitely go back!
