This place is a joke. So over priced. A tiny glass of miso soup is $6.80. No atmosphere and staff are so rude. Would not recommend at all unless you p…

Delicious and Awesome and Great!. I love this place! Nestled in a cozy corner of Rose Bay, right near the beautiful harbour walk sits this gem of the Eastern Suburbs. The dimly lit room creates a warm ambience which makes you feel right at home, or as though sitting in a lodge near a crackling fire. The service is top notch, with the gorgeous Bernadette fawning over patrons, speedy service, attentive to customers needs at all times, and even giving our baby girl a free toy to amuse her (and keep!). And finally, the food is sublime! Every dish we ordered was a feast for the eyes and a treat for the mouth! I loved it and was so happy to find this place. Great value too. Will DEFINITELY be back!
Pricey but tasty. Went here for dinner tonight, arrived to find out that it wasn’t BYO, LUCKILY the wine (although dear) was very good. The food was amazing- kingfish carpaccio had a delicate orange zest. The dumplings – gyoza were more fragrant and flavoursome that any others I’ve tried, the aburi salmon roll was lovely – with delicate crunchy tempura flakes. The ppl sitting next to us were having the creme brle desert- when i heard her tap the crunchy top, i knew i had to try it & I’m glad i did as it was a great blend of not to sweet custard and a slightly burnt (in a good way) caramel crunchy top (we scraped the sides it was so good)
Love it!!!. Loved it……its my little getaway when i am looking for a relaxing night out. Little wine, great food and excellent ambience. I highly recommend this place and everyone i have taken there has loved it as well!!!
Awful food. Expensive.. The positive reviews in this thread are so obviously by the restaurant itself that it is laughable. Seldom in my life have I felt so ripped off that I have felt compelled to write a review of any kind. The dinner menu is so simple you wonder how they could have messed it up so badly. The food is tiny, and amateurish. You’d be MUCH better off going to a humble Japanese diner. The food will be better by a mile. This place is pretending to be a fine dining venue (and charging the prices), but it is more like some Australian guy bought some Japanese ingredients and had a go at creating something authentic. Worst of all, it was nearly impossible to get the staffs attention all night and the place is pokey and claustrophobic. Do yourself a favour and avoid it at all costs.
Disgraceful. This restaurant typifies the worst characteristics of the foreign cuisine on offer in the eastern suburbs. It is grossly overpriced, and a watered down imitation of authentic Japanese food, designed for a consumer they assume won’t know any better. It is truly a shame that they can get away with charging $30 a main and $13 per plate of mediocre sushi. They get away with it because too many people are either oblivious or too lazy to drive out of Rose Bay to find something legitimate. The ‘Japanese Curry’ (one of the staple dishes of Japanese home style cooking) is a beef stew with some carrots and baby corn in it. It tastes nothing like a Japanese curry and for some rice and gravy, you’ll pay $22. On top of this, you’ll quickly notice that the ambience is lacking, the lighting design is poor and you’re sitting next to the kind of diners who are ok with paying over the top prices for bad food. Not exactly an exciting dining experience. This is a completely unbiased and honest review. Do not dine at this restaurant. If people in Sydney want the food scene to improve, they cannot encourage this kind of substandard operation by awarding them patronage.
What a shame. We have been regular customers over the years, the food was always amazing and we had our favourites, it was ALWAYS busy and hard to get a booking but it’s been taken over and they have completely got a new menu, the food was average and we were very disappointed, the beef curry had about 2 pieces of beef it and a whole lot of sauce. So sad a favourite for so many has been ruined.
I came here with 2 friends and my girlfriend for dinner. The sashimi slices seem to melt in your mouth! The main meals might not be huge but they are mouthwatering! The service was great, deserts and coffees reasonably priced. Must try the passion fruit cheesecake!
