Came for lunch and was delightfully surprised by the authentic japanese food served, we felt transported back to our trip in japan. A beautiful interior and exterior with high ceilings and lush greenery. A very unique space. I had the agedashi tofu and ordered the eggplant side. Even the iced chai was expertly prepared and not too sweet, the ultimate asian compliment. The only fault is the price is on the steeper side especially if you come on a weekend when there is the surcharge. I suppose its cheaper than a flight to japan.

Great food and nice venue. The Japanese breakfast teishoku is delicious. The grilled fish is soft and flavourful. The miso soup is refreshing and full of ingredients. The staff is friendly too. Highly recommend this place for Japanese breakfast menu.

🪴 Beautiful exterior and interior. 🐟 The fish of the day was incredible — the barramundi melted in my mouth with sweet and savoury umami flavours. However I think the side dishes are a bit underwhelming. Lacking a bit style and flavours. ⏰ Unfortunately it’s not as “Zen” as it looks, as you need to book a table otherwise you feel being rushed by the waitress.

Summary: * Overpriced * Unreasonably long wait (roughly 1.5 hours) * Mid taste * Small portions When we first walked into the restaurant, we were told it was fully booked, despite the fact that many seats remained empty throughout our dinner. Next was the long wait. It was difficult to get the attention of the service staff, as no one approached us to take our orders. To be fair, we were seated far away in the corner. After placing our order, we didn't time everything precisely, but our appetisers took approximately 30 minutes to arrive. The wait between the appetisers and the first main course, however, was exactly one hour, which is insane. We were also underwhelmed with the mains. The portions were so small that I wouldn't consider them proper main courses, especially since this is not a fine dining restaurant. In total, it was roughly $60 per person.

Such a hidden gem in the neighbourhood! Very authentic food and thoughtful menu, really wanted to order everything! The drinks are also delicious! Recommended booking ahead, they also have a little groceries store next door!

Came for dinner a couple of times and both experiences were overall great. Friendly service, cosy vibes with low lighting and a view of the open kitchen. Our favorite orders were the Karaage that comes with a tangy, slightly spicy dip, and a weekly special item prawn head - smokey flavor. Croquettes are also lovely. Small menu but well executed. Reasonably priced for a lovely evening out.

Simplified but deliciously prepared Japanese breakfast gets served here. Go early, sure it can get busy but more importantly things on the menu can run out! Went on the weekend for lunch and we had ordered the last serving of Fish wing. The smoky / charcoal taste was wonderful!

The food was delicious and filling enough for lunch, especially the matcha here, which was very tasty and refreshing.
