AI Summary

Ivanhoe East Japanese diner famous for its generous sushi boats and affordable set menus.

Cosy, unpretentious suburban dining room with a bustling weekend crowd and quieter, calmer lunch service; decor is modest rather than showy.

Sushi boats built for sharing (repeatedly described as feeding more people than advertised), chef's banquet selection menus, outdoor seating for drinks, kids menu with cutlery provided.

Reviewers are split: several say it transported them straight back to dining in Japan, while others read it as solid local-style Japanese rather than strictly traditional.

Widely called great value for the portion size, especially the shared sushi boats and $50-$70pp banquet sets, though a couple of reviewers flagged an unexplained extra charge and pricier feel on some visits.
