AI Summary

Hawthorn's long-running Japanese favourite for bento boxes, sushi and private dining.

Cosy heritage-building dining room with dim lighting and private upstairs rooms; feels intimate but hard floors mean it can get loud and echoey on busy nights.

Multiple private dining rooms upstairs for groups and celebrations, a wide sake range, and a heritage-building setting.

Reviewers consistently praise the authentic Japanese cuisine and note Japanese-speaking staff.

Reasonably priced for the quality. typical dinners run $45-60, with course bentos from $32-50 praised as good value.
