Customer Reviews
“ Lovely Japanese restaurant in Burwood with a great menu and a fun, quirky vibe. The food was fresh and tasty — I especially enjoyed the prawn udon, which was flavorful and comforting. The place is full of Japanese anime art and collectible toys, adding a unique charm to the dining experience. Worth a visit if you’re into Japanese food and culture!. ”
“ The special menu was a hit with the whole family. We particular liked the Karaage Ramen and the chicken was lovely. We also liked the four dollar bubble tea special add-on for the special drinks. If you’re looking for parking, make sure to park at the side streets as there is limited parking at the front as it is on a main road. Overall, a lovely place if you’re looking for a quick fast and cost-effective meal for the family. ”
“ The best place for Japanese food! Big portion and everything is delicious. California Roll is my favourite and I highly recommend it. The atmosphere is very lively, has amazing decor and service is excellent. Easy to locate on burwood highway. ”
“ I ordered ramen, tonkatsu, and tofu. The tofu was a bit too oily, which made it heavy. The tonkatsu was good, and the ramen sauce was tasty even at level 2 spicy. However, the noodles seemed frozen and stuck together, which was a small minus compared to my previous visits The vibe of the restaurant is nice, with anime pictures creating a Japanese feel. I think the music could match the vibe better if they played Japanese songs Overall, the food is affordable and not expensive, so it’s a good restaurant to visit. ”
“ Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for delicious Japanese food with generous portion and good services without breaking the bank. It's rare to find such a great balance of value and taste, and this hidden gem truly delivers. Appreciate the wonderful staff who attended to us. She was incredibly friendly, attentive and made us felt welcome from the moment we walked in. Even though we arrived about 45mins near closing time, she never rushed us once, ensured we felt completely at ease, allowing us to enjoy our meal at our own pace. Her kind approach truly made the experience special. Looking forward to returning to explore more of their Japanese dishes! ”
“ Great food. Affordable prices. Had the set for 2 and each of us had an entree, a huge cup of matcha, and a main. Pay in cash and you get 5% off. ”
