How we read reviews →Affordable Hawthorn Japanese with DIY wagyu grilling and crowd-pleasing katsu curry.
Retro Japanese-style interior creates a cosy, transporting dining room on Glenferrie Rd. The open kitchen and compact space add intimacy; the venue draws enough foot traffic to keep the energy lively most evenings.
DIY personal grill for wagyu tataki; QR code ordering at the table; complimentary water and tea; no Sunday surcharge; retro Japanese interior with open kitchen.
Retro Japanese interior with open kitchen and a broad traditional menu spanning gyoza, takoyaki, tempura, okonomiyaki, ramen, udon, soba, katsu, donburi and niku. One long-term Japan resident noted the menu authentically mirrors common Tokyo staples. Ramen quality has drawn mixed feedback.
Consistently impressive value. mains around $20 that reviewers rate on par with far pricier options. No Sunday surcharge further reinforces the value proposition for weekend dining.
