Umiyaki Moonee Ponds

Moonee Ponds Japanese favourite for sashimi platters, wagyu katsu and an 8-course set menu.

Casual, J-pop-filled dining room that looks like a petite sushi shop from outside but extends into a lively, sometimes crowded space; reviewers split on whether it feels warm or rushed.

Extensive à la carte menu spanning sashimi, sushi tacos, toban yaki and cocktails, plus an 8-course $49pp set menu and iPad ordering at the table.

Reviewers describe the food as authentic, fresh Japanese cooking, praising sashimi quality and traditional dishes like toban yaki and gyukatsu.

The $49pp 8-course set menu and $5-10 end-of-day specials around 5pm are repeatedly called excellent value for generous portions.
