Tamura Sake Bar

We ordered the set menu with sake pairing for $60. The sake was delicious and well explained. The service throughout was delightful. The only fault was the food. But it was a big fault, and it all comes down to price, quality and quantity. The paltry serving pictured was the entirety of the set menu (for scale, that’s a small teaspoon). Set menu means dinner, not a few amuse-bouches, yet that’s what was delivered. The duck was great and the cheese terrine was yummy, but nothing else was stellar and, for $40, there wasn’t enough of anything. We left hungry. You know the set menu is insubstantial when the next stop after is Huxtaburger — which it was. Either don’t call it a set menu, or adjust it dramatically, because what was advertised, expected, and delivered wasn’t a set menu. Total price for two was $130 with the $60 set menu and a three sake flight (45ml each) option, plus sparking water ($5 each). We would go back for sake but not for the set menu.

What a funky little Sake bar! Cozy and with a warm ambience, spinning Japanese jazz on vinyl. I love everything about this place: delicious food, friendly staff, and attentive service. If you haven’t been, it’s definitely a must-try.

Initially hadn’t planned to come here, so it was a nice little surprise to find this sake bar! Came for lunch on a Sunday with a friend. Was a bit unsure about seating as staff were out in the back somewhere when we entered, but they were very friendly and accomodating once they came to greet us. We each got their Tamura lunch set — a Japanese fried chicken (JFC) one, plus an Agedashi tofu set. Was a decent portion size, and food was good. Also, I quite enjoyed having the soy sauce foam for the sashimi vs. having to dip it. Additionally, we had a Yuzu high ball cocktail and a green tea plum wine (if I remembered correctly) between us — very enjoyable. Only downside is that the place is a bit small, so would advise against coming here if you have a large group. Note: walk-ins are available but making reservations is never a bad idea

An excellent dining experience from start to finish. The ramen stood out, particularly when enjoyed with the sake pairing.

A delicious, unexpected find on a Sunday night. We wandered in with absolutely no idea what we wanted, and Sarah effortlessly put together the perfect selection of snacks, each thoughtfully paired with wine. Every choice felt spot-on. The experience struck that rare balance of sophistication and genuine friendliness — relaxed, welcoming, and quietly impressive. Asuka was an absolute joy and added to the feeling that we were truly being looked after. Perfect in every way. We’ll definitely be back. 🍷✨

Cozy and cool spot, great bar with music. The drinks are amazing and love the thoughtful presentation of different drinks. In terms of food, I was expecting more authentic and diverse Japanese food to complement the variety of sake. The Kingfish sashimi was great and the dressing was the highlight but very small portion for the price. The robata/ Japanese skewers were okay, but for some reason they were all covered in the same very salty dressing that covered the taste of the ingredients. I was quite impressed by the signature ramen and tan tan noodles and recommend them. I would go back for drinks but probably not for the food.

I recently made a standard booking at your bar. I noticed that there was a $60 per person minimum spend, which I hadn’t realized when I booked. Because there were 2 choice. One is $60 + sake and the other was just STANDARD. If you could just put there $60 as well, it might easy to know and go. While I enjoyed my visit, I thought it might be helpful to mention that this information could be highlighted one more clearly for future guests. I also had a mistake that i did not read it properly after i clicked Standard Booking. So i was not upset that when i heard that $60 per person. However the waitress was very not happy to explain and seems very uncomfortable that explain what was the booking about. Theb Keep asking to take away with unkind face. All good. After that i called my friend and asked why intruduced me this such a not good service place🤣 paid $120 and worst sake bar.

Found a portal to Tokyo! Tamura Sake Bar nailed everything from the authentic yakitori to the sashimi. The signature ramen is a total standout - uniquely Japanese. Sipping through the tasting platter while jazz vinyl spins in the background - pure late-night Tokyo magic! The waitstaff were so friendly too. Highly recommended.
