Kosaten Hobart

The menu offers limited options for those who eat only chicken, but the fried chicken was exceptional. The ambiance was pleasant and well-maintained, and for vegetarians, the soba salad is a definite highlight!

Such a lovely place, great service and environment. Reasonably priced for excellent food. Good with friends and family, always recommend this place!

The worst sushi I have tried in Australia ever. The rice is hard, without any texture. The sashimi is not fresh and not being cut in a proper sushi way. The sushi rolls are filled with too much dry vegetable but just a small slice of eel. Will not recommend to anyone with this price.

It was a bit strange that when we came, no one was at the reception. And we stood for a while there before a girl finally came from outside, and she was looking flustered and not friendly. Anyway, inside was dark with lots of black interior, and a pad to order which foods get delivered using sushi train. Tried a few things but for me the grilled scallop sushi was the winner for me, you can taste the grilled flavour and the sauce was beautiful. But most of the sauces were beautiful anyway. Also you should try their pumpkin tofu. We didn’t know what to expect with this but it was beautiful. Basically more like a deep fried pumpkin, but the broth that came with it was so comforting and yummy. The bill isnt cheap but it was such a nice lunch.

Head down to Kosaten for sushi and authentic Japanese food - fresh sashimi, food delivered to your table was quick, and every plate we ordered were served up so beautifully. Our favourite is the lamb cutlets and soft shell crab. Oh so yummy.

I was slightly disappointed with our sushi plate; the rice was cold and hard and felt like it was stored in the fridge before being served. The waitress staff took our comment and gave us back $10 for the discount. The oyster tempura was good. The Japanese streamed egg was refreshing with yuzu soup.

Fun and cosy place with a great range of Japanese food. Order via the screen at the table and it's sent out to you on a little conveyor belt (including drinks). Staff are always lovely and they do delicious wakame salad, pumpkin tofu and tuna tataki (but actually everything I've had there is tasty)

It's been a while since the last time I had good Japanese food. We left @kosaten feeling content and satisfied. All of the dishes that we ordered were so good, but if we had to pick a favourite, the best one was the pork belly. It was just so tender and delicious. We had them over the creamy and light Asahi beer and Litchy (Lychee) sake, which was sweet and milky; so dangerously good. So glad Hobart has a restaurant that serves great Japanese food.
