How we read reviews →A tucked-away South Yarra Japanese diner known for Wagyu Niku Don and Katsu Curry.
Small, clean side-street Japanese diner with a homely, family-run feel. reviewers liken it to a quiet Tokyo backstreet spot.
Open kitchen where an experienced Japanese couple hand-prepares dishes; tucked just off the Toorak Rd strip with no street-facing signage.
Long praised as an authentic, family-run Japanese diner run by an elderly Japanese couple, though recent reviews report a change in ownership and kitchen team.
Reviewers are split: long-time regulars call prices high for smaller portions since a 2025 ownership and kitchen change, while others still rate the classics like katsu curry and miso soup as good value.
