How we read reviews →Hawthorn East Japanese favourite where soft-shell crab tacos and fresh sashimi shine.
Intimate BYO Japanese dining room that turns lively and noisy when full, especially with bigger groups.
BYO with a per-person corkage charge that reviewers flag as steep, wasabi placed traditionally beneath the nigiri, and restrained sauce use to let quality ingredients shine.
Contested in reviews. most call it a genuine Japanese experience, but a minority describe the menu as more Chinese-Japanese fusion or 'not really Japanese'.
Most reviewers call it fairly priced to great value for BYO Japanese, though a handful flag the tasting menu, wine and corkage as pricey.
