Friday date night with hubby. Were looking for some nice food to end our night. Heard a lot about this small Japanese restaurant in busy Glen Waverley. We try our luck without reservation before 7pm. Got bar seating and decided to their sushi Omasake.
For $90 per head they serve around 11 types of sushi, each come with 2 sushi! I got pretty full after the 7th; equivalent to 14 pieces of sushi.
Like the one wrap with seaweed, never had it anywhere else in past experience.
A very satisfied dinner, would definitely come back for quality sushi.
They do make the best sushi among all eastern suburbs, even when comparing to the CBD areas, its still a really good choice for sushi lovers. Their ingredients are always fresh and skills of chefs are incredible. To be honest, the food they serve is even better than the ones I had in Japan. However, it is a small place, so you will have to book a table for sure. Btw, average of a dinner is $100 pp. if you are first time here, try their set course.
This popular little Japanese restaurant is an absolute gem in Glen Waverley. Taken here recently on a date and the atmosphere, service and the food was all delightful. Staff were attentive and the food arrived without much of a wait. The food itself was presented well and tasted wonderful. I had the chirashi zushi lunch special which was probably the best set on the menu. My date had the yakiniku beef set which wasn’t too bad either. We both thoroughly enjoyed the experience and it was surprisingly how inexpensive it was, less than 25$ pp for lunch. Make sure you book before you come as it’s always full. I will definitely be coming back here soon.
Went there for their famous omekase!!! Gotta remember that you need to booking they only accept 12 people – 14 people on each session. $90 per head you will got 6 with couple complimentary. Taste wise, still really good, the chef will told you which one need to eat with soy sauce and which one dont. But for myself I dont put any soy sauce at all. As I want to taste all the ingredient. If you dont get the omekase session, you still can dinning and order one or two from the omekase selection.
Simply fantastic! What you order is vital though. Dont order the regular Japanese you would order st other Japanese cafes. Be adventurous and try the recommended dishes, you wont regret it.
Strongly recommend to make a reservation even for lunch! I was rejected once for walk-in lunch, then I successfully made a reservation a few days ago before the second time. Friendly staff, impeccable service, cozy interior, ask for the bar table if you wanna see the chef handling with the sushi and sashimi. Tried the nigiri and chirashi lunch set, they both come with a miso soup and a small plye appetizer dish. The fish quality was alright, but still not a lot of strong fish taste, im a bit disappointed that the sushi rice didnt have enough vinegar taste for me. But the overall food quality worth the price of their lunch set…so can give it a try but dont give too much expectation.
Ordinary sushi joint. Yes the dishes were prepared the traditional way, and things tasted as they should be. No happy or nasty surprises. Plating and presentation lacking. For more foodie goodness follow my ig: emptystomach
