Once again, outstanding sashimi, beef sashimi, barramundi and veggies. Yum yum yum. My elderly mother was impressed by quality of food and wonderful customer service .... not to mention... value for money! ️️️️️

I used to like coming here for food and desserts but now the desserts have dropped in quality and serving size. Overpriced for the value. The green tea icecream no longer have red beans or any topping. Got charged an extra $2 (without prior notice) for a small sprinkle of chocolate topping that would have costed 5 cents at home or a maximum of 50 cents at other restaurants.
Won't be coming here anymore for japanese food or dessert.

I really agree. I dislike their customer service and quality of food is horrible.

With traditional Japanese seating and rice paper doors, I love the dining set up of this place! The food is very authentic, abosolutely delicious and great for sharing with family and friends. The staff are all friendly and curteous and the restaurant is very clean and presentable. I will definitely be back soon.

Great food here, high quality Japanese food. The sushi boat was delish as a shared entree, I never had scallop sashimi before but would go again just for that. The only thing that distracted from this is the place was very uncomfortable seating arrangements and I was well and truly ready to leave by the time we had finished. You sit on a hard bench will no back and I was not the only one very uncomfortable. Good to go with a group as you can share your meals and get to taste more dishes than if you were just two or so people.

This is the real deal. Best Japanese restaurant in Adelaide. I was looking for a place with 'real' Japanese food so I could show friends (I lived in Japan for 18 months) and this is the one I take them to. The price is reasonable - even more so if you consider the quality of the ingredients. The seafood is fresh. Although it's not something I ever saw in Japan the teriyaki barramundi is highly recommended. You won't be able to stop until it's picked clean - great to share. The sushi boat is also great and the tacoyaki is an authentic fried snack. The hand made ice cream is also great. The place is always cold though, so wear a jacket.
