How we read reviews →Russell Street izakaya open till 3am with flaming wagyu ramen tableside theatre.
A cosy, dimly lit 'back street Japan' izakaya with upstairs booth seating, that turns into a late-night destination with tableside flambé theatre.
Tableside torch service for the Wagyu Yakuza ramen, a robata and yakitori grill, sake and Japanese craft beer, and service until 1am (3am Thursday to Saturday).
Spanish-speaking reviewers describe it as the original taste of Japan, and multiple reviewers separately say the decor and food genuinely evoke being in Japan.
Reviewers flag the wagyu specials as pricier than expected for the portion, though lunch specials and standard ramen are consistently called good value.
