How we read reviews →Chapel Street's loud, funky izakaya for salmon nori tacos, wagyu tataki and Tokyo cocktails.
Funky and vibrant Chapel Street icon with a throwback playlist and cocktail-bar buzz; fun and loud rather than intimate, especially on weekend nights.
Daily off-menu 'Happy's Handroll' chef special, Tokyo-inspired cocktail program (spicy margaritas, hard yuzu), Level One space for group dining, feed-me banquet menus, and a regular at Melbourne Food and Wine Festival and Fork and Walk events.
A modern, Western-influenced take on Japanese cooking rather than traditional izakaya fare, blending sashimi and udon with tacos and cocktails.
Portion size for the price is the most common complaint, with several reviewers finding small plates expensive; the feed-me and Loose Lunch set menus are seen as better value than ordering à la carte.
