I have been there twice now, and already looking forward to the next visit! The "buffet" was really great! not pre-cooked but cooked on request! What would you like? they asked! Just bring us what you want, was our reply! had a great variety of food i would never have thought to ask for!
TOTALLY recommended

Approximate cost: $28 buffet

JJ's is fantastic – it's a stepford wives meets quentin tarantino experience that just can't be replicated. As you try and snag a seat in the retro dining area the size of grandma's kitchen the sashimi chef, who commands full view of the room, goes right at it with razor sharp blades moving at blistering speed, purposeful in a way only the Japanese can be, while the light sweat on his brow seeps slowly into his rising sun headband.

Approximate cost: $18

Service:
The service was fantastic, if you are being serve by someone who speaks English. We had 3 waitresses, 1 can speak a good English, 2 who we need to repeat ourself a few times.

Food:
(bad)
The sashimi and sushi were below average, the salmon and tuna were not fresh.

(good)
- The prawn tempura was excellent. When we order the second serve of the Prawn tempura, they gave us heaps of them.
- The Nasu Dengaku was great. We ordered 4 serve of those

Overall:
For the price they charged, I would prefer a normal Japanese restaurant in the city. Probably will cost us a little more, but at least we getting the quality.

I went there with a couple of friends (around 25 in total) last Saturday. The place is tricky to find at first, because Were street is very dark at night, and the restaurant is right in the middle, next to a milkbar. In terms of the facility, it's more like a home-based restaurant and they extended the capacity from 20 people to about 70 people. The food is great ,fresh and tasty. The Tempura and Unagi are not to be missed. But I think they are hugely understaffed. It was so crowded and hectic that our orders got lost a number of times, and we ended up waiting forever for our food, which is a bit sad. However, the service deserved some credits, it was a busy saturday night and the staffs were still nice and polite, considering all the pressure they were in. One suggestion is to come in early, around 6-8 oclock, if you come in later than that, they'll start to get short on supplies and eventually ran out of food, especially the likes of sushi and sashimi.

Approximate cost: $25

Great value! There was only 2 of us and they still gave us ample proportions.
I went on the Sunday and there was still a buffet menu!

The food is fresh and as soon as the waiter takes your order for your meal it comes out straight away!

Its only 25 per head ! and you can order anything on the menu!

I went there twice for the $25 all-you-can-eat buffet with some friends last year. Once we reached there, we were served with miso soup and some beef salad, followed by 2 platers full of sushi and sashimi followed. If that was not enough, the chicken and salmon teriyaki would also make you wanting for more. By this time, we were quite full already but they keep serving us with great tasting prawn tempura and takoyaki balls. I cannot remember what I had for my desert but that was great as well. We can choose either ice cream or sorbet, and they are homemade by the way. Overall, very satisfying experience and looking forward to go again

Aki is the owner and sushi chef of this 20-seater restaurant. It's great value, a fact that many locals know. Take away is prompt but if you want to eat in, make sure you call ahead of time. The complimentary ice cream or sweets after dinner is a great touch.
