Kosaten Hobart

What an amazing experience! The location is great—not directly in the center of town, but still very close and easily accessible. I was also pleasantly surprised by the high-tech tablet menu, which offered several ways to browse and order dishes. All the dishes arrived straight from the kitchen to the table via a conveyor belt—such a fun and unique touch! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, high-quality ingredients with beautiful presentation. The venue itself looked fantastic and had a great vibe. I absolutely loved it and will definitely be coming back!

Kosaten has a charming interior and a fun mini train system that delivers food right to your booth. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite live up to the concept - most of the nigiri was underwhelming, with stiff rice that lacked proper seasoning. The small plates had decent flavor but nothing particularly memorable. A creative idea, but the execution left something to be desired.

Kosaten does a few dishes really well - my favourites are the soba noodle salad, the volcano sushi, and the teriyaki chicken sushi. Their sashimi is generally pretty good too. I find a lot of their cooked dishes to be pretty average though

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.

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!

Was excited for the kaiten-sushi, didn't know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised with the fantastic tablet menu interface, with multiple ways to display and order the dishes. Food was fantastic as well, our highlights were the anago nigiri, pork belly nigiri, kingfish sashimi, boysenberry panna cotta, matcha tiramisu Less spectacular was the very thin slices of not the best quality mixed sashimi, relegated to a side dish in the menu. Overall, a fantastic first dining experience in Hobart and at the time this was written my favorite restaurant in Tasmania.

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.

Food was so fresh, elegantly prepared, absolutely delicious . Menu has some very unique items. Ambiance is casual, lovely vintage-modern decor, nice lighting & background music. Server was terrific.

Beautiful Japanese restaurant with excellent service and delicious food. It honestly made ordering food so much fun! Simply choose what you want on the iPad and prepare for your dish to come whooshing down on a mini bullet train next to you. The atmosphere was calming and the staff were extremely kind and welcoming. There wasn't a huge selection of vegan food but what was there was very tasty. I'll definitely be making this a regular place to go eat at with friends.

I loved the atmosphere at Kosaten, it was warm and inviting. In sushi there wasn't too much of a range. The prawns weren't great but their chicken was! Me and a few friends got heaps of chicken whilst eating there. Ordering the food off of the tables iPad the food doesn't take long to arrive. It arrives on a little train which is super cute. You can send back your old dishes on it too. Overall it was pretty good and I would go again.
