How we read reviews →Clayton's modern izakaya with tablet ordering, fresh sushi and crowd-pleasing katsu don.
Bright, clean and contemporary dining room with booth seating and individual iPad ordering tablets at each table. The mood sits somewhere between casual family restaurant and modern izakaya. relaxed but polished, with Japanese pop music adding energy. Not a late-night sake bar, but a well-lit neighbourhood diner that feels fresh rather than authentic-rustic.
Per-table iPad ordering system with photos of each dish; no QR code sharing required. Cocktail list and authentic Japanese beers including Sapporo, Asahi and Suntory Premium Malts. Teishoku set meals available for better value. Booth seating layout suits groups.
Primarily a Chinese-run Japanese restaurant with an izakaya-style presentation. Reviewers with Japan experience note it lacks some traditional izakaya hallmarks (no cheap draft beer, no otōshi, limited shōchū selection), but the menu covers authentic Japanese staples accurately and the aesthetic captures key elements of the format.
Most mains sit around $20, with teishoku sets around $35 representing the best value. Reviewers are divided. many consider it reasonable for the quality and portion size, while others find single-item dishes overpriced for the quantity served. Sets and combos consistently receive better value feedback than à la carte small dishes. Drinks, particularly beer and wine, are noted as overpriced.
