AI Summary

Collingwood's retro Japanese izakaya with vegan ramen and a Spirited Away-style hidden garden.

Retro Japanese decor reviewers compare to Spirited Away, with a back-garden pathway to seating that feels like a Japanese side street, though the indoor space can get hot and stuffy without airflow.

A secret back garden walkway leading to further seating, decorated to resemble a Japanese side street - reviewers specifically recommend using it to reach the bathroom.

Reviews are split - several praise the authentic Teishoku sets and vegan dishes, while at least one review describes the food as more style-driven than authentically Japanese.

A recurring theme in reviews is portions feeling small for the price - set meals start around $30 with $4 add-ons, and one group of three spent $118 - so go in expecting style over value.
