Laputa

Great location for dining with nice views, good fresh food

Good variety of food options and good quality and atmosphere

Very great. Food is yummy. Service is good. Price is reasonable.

Good for value and food was very fresh and friendly service

It was nice and food was not bad at all

Pathetic excuse for a buffet. Great location, terrible food and service.

Good value for money, bit of everything rather than pure Japanese.

The restaurant had a really nice view and the food was great !

Great! Lots of variety of food and friendly service.

A nice venue on Elizabeth Quay. We enjoyed the variety of food, especially the seafood.

food is fresh and service is good. Like It very much.

Booked & went there and you didn’t even know it was under renovation. Just wasted our time going there with so much expectations but end up standing infront of the entrance posted “sorry under renovation “.

Wide variety of foods available. However, I personally was not thrilled by many of the dishes. The sushi and sashimi were delicious, though. Staff were very polite but almost too quick to take away our plates, as I was still putting the last bite into my mouth as my plate was taken away from under me on a few occasions. Beautiful layout of he restaurant with stunning views.

Food was amazing and the staff were really attentive. The food was really fresh especially the seafood and the desserts bar was very refreshing. Would definitely come back again

Paid $146 for 2 buffet & 2 glasses of lem lime bitter. Despite the beautiful river view, food is not worth for value. Seafood range is acceptable, no fresh but okay. Sushi, Sashimi, tataki tasted like any budget eatery around Perth so sushi lovers should not expect too much for these. As a personal perspective, most of your desserts cake, tarts, panna cotta is frozen ones (probably i may be wrong, i wish). I know opening a restaurant on the river bank has lots of challenges and difficulties such as high rent and strict demand from middle (and upper) class diners. Therefore such reviews like this may be pissed off but it is necessary for improvement. With that location, you can charge high high price for dining but make it fine dining to match with your venue. Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is great for family/ group gathering but we may not come back and there is not many special in food. Be strong and let get it a better place!

Good view and nice food, good environment. Love the desert which is just very light sweet, suitable to people who do not like super sweet food.

It even not open! waste me time and fuel to get there! Not Happy! And it said open 7 says. It is very wrong!!! Not recommend to anyone at all.

Laputa did not even open, other families groups and me waited at door until 5 past 6. I tried to call the restaurant 10 times, the phone does t allow to leave message.

customers service and atmosphere was good but i wouldn't raccomand for food . very low quality food.. the worst sushi ever.. the food in general wasn't good..

Fabulous food, exactly like the best I’ve eaten in Japan. Authentic setup and gorgeous view of the Swan River. Thank you for the quality experience

The service and view are great at Laputa. Today we got the special promotion, everyone gets a free drink. I’ll definitely recommend friends to come.

Food was terrible. Roast duck was chewy and skin not crispy. Make your own noodles was not good. Hot food was lukewarm. Oysters were not fresh as a result I have diarrhea. Staff were not attentive and not friendly.

Very limited selection at premium prices. However, they do have very fresh oyster and mussels. Their sashimi section didn't look very appetising nor fresh. Half of my family members came back with a tummy discomfort. I wouldn't go back without a really cheap voucher or promo deal. Not worth the it.

Yummy food. Lots of selections. Great location. Lots of parking. Beautiful view over the Swan River. Highly recommend and will definitely go back. YUM YUM.

Not much variety of foods and dessert. In term of staffs are friendly and helpful. As last week special on tepanyakki but doesnt seems anything appealing.

Very good variety of food and dessert. Ambience was nice and pretty. Only problem today was a hot day. Air cond wasn’t very strong. Will definitely recommend friends.

Lovely staff. Even brought out a happy birthday plate for my mum as I mentioned it as we walked in. Food was delicious. Will be going back

It is ok and the staff is helpful👍The only thing is the food types seems not up to my expectations after I attend Laputa last year.

The environment is great. However, having been a couple of times before, i feel the selection has dropped in terms.of variety espcially the sashimi sushi and teriyaki selection. Unfortunately this will probably be the last time visiting.

First time dining at Laputa and found it to have a lot of selection and beautiful views. An awesome dining experience with very friendly staff too!

the sea food is not fresh, and the roast duck and BBQ chicken is not been served, there are only five kinds of sushi,which is much less than last time. however, the dessert is remarkable.

Bad. Poor quality and variety. Only 4 types of sushi rolls/nigiri. Only 7 tables were dining in so Food tasted old been sitting under bainmarie for too long. Most of the desserts were chewy and stale. Water in the Ice cream scooper bowl was dirty and disgusting. Definitely not worth $79. The only good thing was the sapporo beer but that you have to pay extra for. Won’t be back again.

The food was average for its value of money. Definitely wouldn’t go for round 2

Awesome fresh sea food. My boys 15th birthday and big fans of Asian food - best bit was seeing them not managing to eat anymore.

It is a lovely experience to be in Laputa! The place looks fancy and relaxing because of the waterfront view with dolphin peaking once in a while...

The hot food was lukewarm or even at room temperature. The sashimi serves are quite small and the dim sum selection is quite limited in spite of the premium price you pay.

The staff at Laputa were nonintrusive, kind, polite and very helpful. The food was delicious, fresh & flavourful. It was lovely to be near the water. We would like this experience again!

very good！The oyster is very fresh and very big. The service is in place and can help the guests in time. The day was to celebrate the birthday and the shop served a small cake and took the initiative to help us take pictures.

90% of food were Chinese, not Japanese. Some grilled menu were too salty for us. View was good and staff were friendly. Generally overpriced. Not recommendable.

It is actually below my expectations. Sashimi portion is miserably petite, variety is very limited. Ingredients of sushi are not displayed; it’s really hard to figure it out simply based on their fancy names. Chawanmushi only fills less than one quarter of a small cup, maybe a good fit for a sake cup. Oysters don’t look fresh. Marble floor around food area are very slippery; during my two hours there I did not see anyone cleaning it; so I wouldn’t suggest anyone to wear high heels. Night view from the restaurant is very nice; but the restaurant are very crowded, too many tables to fit in such a confined space; I have strangers in almost all the photos I took from different angles. I have to say I don’t think I will visit this restaurant again.

10/10 for the service and meals! It was a really nice experience. And to the cute guy who kept telling my brother happy birthday. THANK YOU!

Very helpful and friendly staff members with superb harbour views. We have been offered a private room for 9 of us which was fantastic. All of us enjoyed our dinner very much!

Food was nice and good location to spend a night out. It would of be much better if they can increase their range of choice at the buffet!

Very nice food and atmosphere, will probably come back again.

Food was crap, cold and soggy. Poor selection, barely any sushi available. However staff were nice. Would not come back ever most likely. Very disappointed.

The view and layout is great although when it comes to the buffet, they do not have many selections in Sushi, the karagi chicken is very oily, they are very stingy on the oysters. They only put out 20 max at a time and literally do not refill them until it has run out. They only give you two small pieces of duck at a time and when you ask for more they only give you one extra small piece. It’s a buffet and they make you feel like you can’t ask for more. My partner loves duck so 2 small pieces are not satisfying. 😂 The fried rice has no flavour and the grilled beef is blan. Otherwise the chilli stew beef is yummy including the chilli crab. The fried fish with honey drizzle is the best in the fried food isle. Didn’t get to the soup but that area was never busy. The desert is so good, from the hand made biscuits to the coffee and Majito panacota to small Japanese desert. They also had caramel and chocolate filled donuts, this definitely melted in your mouth! 😍

Some of food was not fresh for this time, unfortunately. Hope they can improve in future. But staffs were friendly as they try to help us

great location, great service, good food! Wished the sashimi wasn't served on individual large plates which you have to bring to your table separately. Otherwise great experience.

After reading both positive and negative reviews, I have to say that the staff were attentive, the food was excellent and the ambience was suitable for a reasonably intimate birthday meal. It was a Sunday evening so i guess it was reasonably quiet. Reasonably priced and would be happy to dine at Laputa again.

The food and the staff were just great, but the one and a half hour time limit felt as if we were on the clock, therefore did not find it a relaxing experience.
