Extremely lovely Japanese and Korean restaurant on Anzac parade that is good for lovely time with friends The food was lovely with the average price per dish ranging from 14 ~ 25. We bought rice and 3 share dishes to eat between the 4 of us totalling the order to 70 which is around 17pp The sushi rolls were lovely, and jam-packed full of flavour. I could definitely see myself ordering them again. The Korean snow cheese chicken however was a little lacking in flavour compared to other K-chicken places and there appeared to be flavorless coconut? Looking flakes on top of ours which was weird. The service was extremely lovely with dishes coming consecutively straight after we had finished each meal. The waiter was extremely welcoming and was good at explaining what was on the menu. Overall this is a great restaurant that you should come to with friends.

5-Jan-2017, Fri 1.30pm. There were a few empty tables so we easily found a table. The menu is quite diverse, not just sushi. The prices were decent, the staff was friendly. I found the soup to be a bit too sweet but perhaps that's how it's supposed to taste. The wasabi was relatively mild. My order was #5, chicken kaarage, and about 14$. It included 5 pieces of sushi, a bowl of rice a small platter of chicken some strips of ginger and a soup, see photos. I don't see any reason why you didn't give this restaurant a go. The food was ready in about 15min. They have some interesting ornaments.

Great experience all round from the food, service, and even the tea. Portions are incredibly generous and while I still wouldn’t say it’s necessarily good value, you certainly get more than what you pay for at other Japanese restaurants. Both Japanese and Korean options are very good. Picture below are the Pinocchio Set, Set 1 and the green tea (that’s right, real loose leaf rice tea for $3, and a big pot at that!) Very happy and will be coming back

Came here on a whim but we were so impressed it literally saved our bad day. The waiter was one of the best I’ve encountered all year to be honest - I’m not saying that all other places are bad it’s just this one goes above and beyond considering that this is just a casual Korean Japanese restaurant. Their menu includes everything you would be looking for at a Korean Japanese restaurant - sushi , noodles and rice Usually for me if the service impresses me it automatically bumps up the satisfaction of food too
