How we read reviews →Fitzroy izakaya famed for uni don, sukiyaki and teishoku sets, with service that splits diners
Small, cosy and old-school, with candlelit tables, Japanese footage projected on the wall and a homely, themed feel that sits between casual dining and a neighbourhood izakaya.
Teishoku set meals with several sides, hot sake poured by the 100ml, vegetarian and vegan sets, a beer and whisky list, and wall projections of Japan.
Contested. Many reviewers praise homestyle, authentic flavours; others note a non-Japanese team (the chef is reportedly from Hong Kong) and a sweeter, Taiwanese-leaning sukiyaki.
Sets in the low $30s earn praise as generous value, while a la carte plates at $40 and up drew complaints about portion size, freshness and quality.
