After a few years, I finally managed to find the opportunity to head back here. Lunch with my wife. Been wanting to bring her here since she moved to Canberra 5 years ago. She was impressed with the decor too.We ordered the Samurai Beef and GoShoku promo. Loved the wide variety of elements in the 2 items, giving us a good taste of their menu. Wagyu beef, teriyaki chicken, and the salmon bowl was very yummy! Tempura and karaage were ok, though they could have been a tad saltier. Nice and crispy though. Salmon sashimi was ok, not mind-blowing. Pork katsu was crispy but dry. Probably a bit worse than Kokoro’s pork katsu. Udon noodle soup was tasty but the udon was overcooked – too soggy. Presentation was nice.Having said that, we still enjoyed our lunch a lot and were so full we couldn’t go for desserts. My wife built up a good appetitie from the good-looking food and was glad we came. Just over $30 for 2 of us to leave full and satisfied – great deal! The full house meant they were still popular with locals in the area!Dinner is a bit dearer and was a bit hard to justify but lunch is definitely worth it!Having been around Japan, I dare say this is Canberra’s best Japanese restaurant. Probably not up there with the best in Sydney and Melbourne but this would be my go-to for a jap fix in CBR.Still no decent ramen joint around though… 🙁
Authentic Japanese style dinner with privacy from outside – Beautifully decorated with Japanese waitress and waiters. One of the best Japanese restaurant – Perfectly displayed food and savory sashimi, meat and vegetables. Staffs are so friendly and realised it’s our anniversary – who offered us a special delicacy. It was so delicious! Staff was very attentive and thoughtful. No complain at all! Definitely re-revisit in the future! Thanks very much Iori!
Food was a bit pricey but its worth the money. Everything we ordered was soooo delicious! I super love their mochi green tea ice cream ah I could eat 3 of them in one sitting One of the best Japanese places in Canberra- highly recommend!
Very authentic Japanese restaurant. Reminded us of several places we went to in Japan. The gyozas were small but flavourful and served fried not steamed. The steak tataki was very good, and the dragon roll is tasty. The staff are excellent. I’d very happily return.
The place is a bit run down but authentic. I personally have been to Japan many times and I got the same vibe here as if I am in Japan but slightly dirty. The food was westernised average like the rest of Canberra, and the sashimi has no real taste that I expected. I will come back for the bento box minus sashimi, sushi or nigiri.
The Japanese food here is adequate from a Canberra perspective, but it is not very authentic. None of the staff are Japanese, no one knew anything about the sakes on the menu or their associated flavours, a waitress spilt soy sauce all over my grey jumper (which was an accident, but they did not offer any compensation or even anything off the $380 bill we racked up), and the bento box was pretty low quality. I would skip this establishment.
$15 pp for lunch.You could experience a typical Japanese way to dine out.Lunch menu includes Samurai beef and samurai chicken and you can add a soup which is only 50 cents.
