Wasabi is consistently excellent. Food, service, price. Always busy with sit-down customers and deliveries, which is a true sign. Kids in ninja outfits eat free apparently.

Highly recommend the Salmon Nigiri,sashimi and Tokyo Chicken Pops. The only downside was the small serving size of Katsu Chicken Curry Don. We will definitely be returning.

Good food, a little noisy at 8 pm but it was a Friday 2 weeks before Christmas. Would have liked the option of more smaller dishes and short on side dishes for main plates. The presentation was ok but tableware was a little worn, seemed good for a quick eat and run. It would help to take one step up that could make it great. R. LO.

Excellent, as always. Food and service are terrific. One of the best Japanese restaurants in the Kew/Hawthorn area. Certainly the best value for money. Always very popular so make a booking.

Extremely slow service tonight, which was a shame because I have been before and loved it. The Belly Bao is excellent, but tonight's Katsu meals were disappointing.

A diverse menu took a little digesting but we each (all four) found more than enough to explore and enjoy. Staff were good, wait times brief and yes - we'll all go back :-)

The food was great no question about it. However, we were disappointed to find out that we had been overcharged (upon closer inspection of the itemised bill when we got home - as when we paid we were just told the amount at the register and not provided the bill until afterwards). When I called to complain, the restaurant said they will apply the amount overcharged "if we come back again" - however, I really don't believe that is that satisfactory (that I need to pay more money on another meal to get by money back). My advice is to check your bill carefully!

Food is delicious especially sashimi, crabby bao and sake don. Great quality casual restaurant in our area. Also cater to fussy kids with sushi, fried chicken and rice. I look forward to trying some other dishes.

Food was good but service was an issue. We ordered before the table next to us and were served after. They got our drink order wrong twice and gave us two serves of one dish when we only ordered one. A shame given the food was good.

Beautiful food and cheap. A little noisy but it’s all part of the experience. Great place to gather with friends and it just seems to be getting busier every time we go. We love it. Our Friday night regular

Very tasty food. Fresh and innovative. Service was lovely. However not enough staff - our dishes got mixed up twice and taken to the wrong table. They didn’t even apologise or hurry with the make up dishes. We were waiting way too long and had to take the last dish home as takeaway.
