It was honestly a very good overall experience, however I did feel we got the worst seats at yakitori counter. And the service took longer to get to us as well on a Monday night. But the whole venue and food was outstanding, very cool atmosphere.

Visited with my partner and we went with the omikase menu, which did not disappoint. We were able to sample a variety of dishes and have a taste of the yakitori experience that you would get in Japan. Would recommend for those who want the same experience. Staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. Will definitely come again when we visit Melbourne again.

Great dinner, wagyu omasake. The matching sake and wine were great! Thanks to Christ, on serving and advising on the sake and wine. Food is surprising great. Not expecting much but vastly impressive. Fusion Japanese and western dishes. Not cheap (A$500 for two) but not expensive in international standard and for the standard of food. Enjoyed thoroughly.
