I went there with my husband yesterday. the sushi is so nice and fresh. I can taste the sweetness of the fish. very good service always with a smile on their faces. I highly recommend to get seats the sushi bar, the chefs are nice and entertaining. It's better to make reservation a day before since it always full-house. love it.

I just loved this restaurant! I popped in there with 3 work mates for a quick lunch. The food was fresh, delicious and very reasonably priced too. I had miso soup, sushi which was excellent and terryaki chicken & rice dish. There where plenty of condiments and the service was fast. This has to be the best Japanese restaurant in the outer eastern suburbs!

This was my friend time having dinner at a Japanese restaurant, and I'm glad I tried Shira Nui first! This is a little Japanese restaurant on Springvale Road just opposite the The Glen carpark.

My friend and I ordered green tea, miso soup, sushi/sashimi platter and then lamb with an Asian salad to share. It was absolutely divine. We couldn't finish the sushi/sashimi platter! The sashimi was so fresh and lamb was perfectly cooked and had so much flavour. The place is very small so I recommend you book in advance. The waitstaff were very friendly, but not to the point where they become a bit imposing on you. The price is up there though, so it's definitely one of those "sometime" restaurants. Great Japanese restaurant around Glenny. Would definitely recommend this place to others!

Dined here with my aunty, and we LOVED it! The food was beautiful-everything we ordered. They had a beautiful Japanese rice wine that I really enjoyed. I have since tried to purchase it at many bottle shops but to no avail. Wait staff were friendly.

Small restaurant with small seating space. Very busy but service was quick and attentive. Food was very good and very different from any other Japanese restaurant. Good value for money. Food with an unique taste. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Approximate cost: $15-$25

I recently went on a Saturday for lunch and although the lunch menu choices are limited, service is quick, friendly and gracious. Waitresses were happy to stop and explain what items on the menu were. Very busy so you need to book ahead. What I had was absolutely delicious :)

This is the best restaurant ever. If you haven't dined here then at least give it a go for lunch. Very cheap for a great lunch feast.

This is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Melbourne - and what a surprise that it is out in the burbs! The food is AMAZING - especially at the sushi bar, even better than at the table. But be sure to book ahead - it is very popular with those who know!!

Dining omakase (lit 'let the chef decide') is the way to go here if you are after a truly memorable and special dining experience. Simply advise Hiro on what you like (Melbourne's only sushi chef with a license to cut Fugu, blowfish, by the way) and an amazing series of sushi will come your way with helpful advice and a show. A la carte dining is also amazingly good.

I visited this restaurant when I was visiting Melbourne from Sydney. I luv the sushi bar, albeit a bit expensive, We dare not to bite onto the sushi until we hear the command sent down from the head chef. We were holding our stomachs when we were leaving.
