How we read reviews →Geelong's waterfront izakaya-cafe where the $10 katsu curry lunch is the talk of the town.
A stylish waterfront spot with sake-wall decor and dog-friendly, parasol-covered outdoor seating; ambience is praised, though several reviewers describe service as inconsistent or 'clinical' when busy.
Dog-friendly outdoor seating by Eastern Beach, a famous $10 weekday lunch special, birthday cake surprise service, and demonstrated willingness to rework dishes for dairy/egg/soy/gluten allergies.
Reviewers praise 'real Japanese chefs' and authentic izakaya dishes, though the broader menu blends Japanese fare with Western brunch items.
The $10 lunch special is repeatedly called excellent value, but full dinner and weekend brunch pricing (plus a 10% weekend surcharge) draws more mixed reactions, with some reviewers reporting shrinking portions.
