Shira Nui is great quality for a suburban Japanese restaurant. The omikase menu, where you eat at the sushi counter, and the chef produces dish after dish until you are full, is a great dining experience, although not a cheap one! The lunch menu however is fantastic value, with set meals of high quality all under $20. The ambiance is very pleasant and the service efficient.

The Mix n Match of the new Japanese cusine makes this cosy place a wonderful experience. The Omakase is surely highly recommended. Owner Hiro and Chef Yuki bringing Japanese's Sushi into a new level of experience. New and daring combination makes your appetite to hungry even at the end of the night! The Beef Sushi, Deep Fry White Bait Sushi, BB Sauces Oyster Sushi, PanFry Tuna Sushi..... You have to try to believe it.

Approximate cost: $28

Nice Japanese food. This would count as mediocre Japanese food in Japan and probably the most authentic Japanese food you can get in Melbourne. The Chef and staff is Japanese. A bit pricey. but cheaper than a plane ticket to Japan. Costs about $12 a dish, however probably need about 3 or for dishes between 2 people. Nice small place. Always booked out.

The desert is AMAZING!!!. Best desert ever. ...Very small though. however that is fine dining for you.

We have eaten off the menu and also had the sushi special at the bar. The menu gives good quality standard Japanese food, but eating the chef's sushi menu at the bar is a great Japanese food experience. The sushi is authentic and top quality. There is a wide variety. It is really nicely presented, and there is lots of it.

Approximate cost: $30-70
