How we read reviews →Lonsdale St izakaya serving sukiyaki, tonkatsu and sashimi in cosy private booths.
Private booth seating that reviewers say feels like stepping into Japan. intimate, softly lit, with Japanese music, popular for quiet lunches and buzzier weekend dinners.
Private semi-enclosed booths at every table, tableside sukiyaki and mini hotpot service, and a no-reservations walk-in-only policy.
Reviewers highlight the sukiyaki, teishoku sets and booth format as an authentic slice of Japan, though several flag the rice as not true short-grain Japanese rice.
Reviews split on value. many call the set menus good value, but a recurring complaint is that mains feel pricey for the portion and rice quality.
