Yuzu at Church Lane

Good food and service. The dining area can smell the cooking from the kitchen, which is a bit unusual for a Japanese restaurant (unless it is an izakaya type place with open fire cooking)

Wonderful dinning experience! From walking in the door and being welcomed warmly, having my favorite plum wine and an excellent Chicken Bento. Yuzu's staff take great pride in the service they provide.

Fast and efficient service. Good value menu options from happy hours. Gyoza were great and sushi was freshly made. Overall good value for money. Will return.

Great thank you, nice food, good service, and a good recent renovation to the place makes it much brighter and nicer. cheers, we will come again.

Fast service, yummy cocktails and plenty of delicious food to share. I love the share style of eating, because I get to try a bunch of different things and I can stop eating when I'm full! I recommend Yuzu for groups of four or more, so you can explore the menu to best effect. Get there before 7pm to take advantage of happy hour! My only gripe was that service could have been a bit more attentive. Our group probably would have had at least one more round of drinks if the staff kept a better eye on when our glasses were empty. But that's a small thing in an otherwise lovely experience.

Food was great, and staff was friendly. Portion sizes for sharing plates were very small though.a bit on the expensive side for what it is.

Great Japanese restaurant, right in the city, with excellent menu and drink list. It has the regular dishes plus a few interesting varieties. Reasonable pricing.

Good food served quickly, good company, easy to book, good location, had fun and was reasonably priced. Waht more do you want? - enjoyed it

Excellent food - fantastic service. Yuzu was extremely reasonably priced. Service was attentive and food came out at a good pace. Portion sizes were generous and we wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Delicious food and friendly staff. A perfect quick spot for lunch after treatments at Botanica day spa at the Rialto opposite. Looking forward to returning already

Cannot fault the food. Everything was tasty and fresh. However the customer service was really lacking. Really didn't look after us that well at all, felt ignored quite a lot. I really didn't expect this in the CBD. Very disappointed as it was for a special occasion. Unfortunately we wont be back.

service was good, but there wasn't enough sauce on my meal and they wanted to charge me for extra - that is ridiculous i think.

The lunch was great. Everyone enjoyed their food, the meals came out quickly, service was good it was reasonably priced. We would come back again.

Friendly service, good food and reasonably quick to serve, which since we are out from work, a quick delivery of food is important. Would come back again

I’ve been to the place a number of times before and was al aye great. Short staffed today I’m guessing. Entree was cold when we got it (wasn’t supposed be) and basically told to go and get my own bill from the register. Disappointed, but will go again. Hope it’s better next time.

It's a shame that in the recent renovations, they didn't get the front door fixed. A permanent blast of cold air was coming in from the wind tunnel that is Church Street the whole time we were there as the door wasn't shutting when people opened it. And we were sitting about 8 metres away from it. And it looked like at a lunch time on a Friday only one person was available to take orders. Not great. And the music was way too loud to have a conversation.

Fantastic food, the new updated venue looks fabulous. The music was probably a little too 5pm drinks at the bar for my taste. The only consideration was the table was light on service, coming back and checking for water and drinks didn't happen. Overall, a pretty good experience.

The food is always good and reliable. It got quite busy and it took ~10 mins to get given food menus and our drink orders taken.

Service was prompt and excellent, food was absolutely delicious! Serving sizes are not huge, though, so if you're extremely hungry you might want to order multiple dishes.

The best Japanese restaurant we found in Melbourne :-) ! Food is great, staff is welcoming and helpful, atmosphere of the place, design are beautiful too ! We are looking forward to come back ;-)

Food was good and came out quickly. We didn't cancel, but the cancellation fee is a bit steep even if you cancel in advance. Overall a good experience

Service was very slow and had to remind the waitress at least three times before I got the chilli flakes. Ditto to have our water topped up. I ordered mixed tempura with udon. The tempura was served without the udon & I had to repeatedly ask before the udon was served. This was my second visit. Very doubtful if I’ll return.

Waited for 50 minutes for food and then left because we were on our lunch break and couldn't wait any longer. The staff did not even apologise. One experience like this is enough to make us not return.

Good luck was delicious, and service was polite friendly and quick. However, there were items on the menu that I really wanted that were not available.

The service was terrible, we complained so many times about placing an order, then the food came out we got e plates if the 5. Then we received 1 plate more whilst we finished and then the 5th plate arrived. We all sat around while our colleague finished their dish. We could not place an order for drinks. Very poor service OK, but no apology or explanation despite our concerns.

The food was absolutely delicious! Service could have been more attentive but was okay. Overall, we had a very good evening. I would have wished tables could have been spaced out a little further apart for more privacy/quiet converstation, however that was very minor and didn't detract from a lovely evening. Food was really nice!

The Food was Lovely, Especially the Kingfish Carpaccio. The Service was outstanding and I would recommend coming here for lunch and am intrigued as to the dinner menu.

The food was top notch and the service very friendly. We were looking for an easy dinner within walking distance of the Intercontinental and this was literally across the road. We ordered the Yuzufeast and it was exacly what we wanted. Nothing at all to complain about.

Nice lunch, great atmosphere. A little difficult to get the attention of the waiters/waitresses. We waited a good 10-15mins before anyone came and asked us for a drink. By that time we were ready to order.

Service was fairly slow on this visit. However, all of the food was still amazing, except for the sashimi which wasn’t great this time around - seemed like a lot of off-cut pieces.

Food was delicious, staff were super friendly. We arrived early and was surprised by an amazing Happy Hour. We'll be going back to try more of the menu.

We chose Yuzu for our special occasion dinner and we were incredibly impressed. Service, atmosphere, food and drinks were all fantastic! They have great happy hour specials too. Highly recommend and can't wait to return!

Traditional Japanese food but slightly modern environment. Fresh ingredients, prepared expertly, just right and very tasty. Pork Gyoza were really good. Good menu - not very lengthy. There was a "cheat note" for some Japanese food and those who can't identify some options, but it was slightly strange it didn't cover everything and in particular two items which I hadn't seen before so assume are rare and warrant a translation. But that's hardly an important issue because the helpful waitstaff explained it very clearly and happily. Service attentive and pleasant. Would be very pleased to go again. Price was fair, about right, maybe upper limit but ok and any more would be too much. I noticed a wine list wasn't given to me, but didn't care because I wasn't ordering. Maybe that's on purpose so as not to make customer feel pressured (and that's good) but maybe there's a middle ground of having a drinks list on table somewhere. Again - didn't effect my experience at all, which was very positive overall.

This is our second time to this restaurant. The skewers platter was tasty but the super kale salad had too much dressing so it was very salty. Beef fillet and mushroom was very nice and the tiramisu was excellent.

really great food. had a great atmosphere too, will come back again. Staff took a while to serve, which was frustrating during busy lunch time.

The food was very tasty and the happy hour drinks were great! Excellent value for money. Service was not the best as we would often be asked whether we wanted drinks by three different waiters. Overall a lovely meal

Great Beef and seafood Bento box for lunch with excellent service and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend and will be returning again with other friends.

Really nice Japanese restaurant in the heart of the city. This restaurant is a regular for my colleagues and I, and we have been going for years.

Friendly staff, good food (Japanese standard rather than gastronomic), good prices, large and hence noisy but with high ceilings - so easy to have a private or business conversation without being overheard. Great sake selection. Go there regularly with clients and even friends with babies (they have a couple of baby seats), who seem fascinated by all the sights, sounds and smells. I just wish they would learn to deliver plates not as they make them, but as ordered and not all at once, which seems common in many Japanese restaurants I guess.

Service was very poor. We had to ask to menus multiple times. We had to ask about our food multiple times, part of our order never even arrived. I really wanted to like this place but the service was so poor that I just couldn’t. People who arrived after us had their food come before ours, others seemed to enjoy their experience.
