Great Japanese in Station street! I am so glad my friend took me here last Friday. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised. Matsuya's is not pretentious it just serves tasty Japanese. We shared nearly all the dishes on the entree menu and were more than satisfied. The service here was excellent too. Matsuya's may not have all of the fancy decor but it certainly makes up for it with their food and value. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Third time dining at Toyama and happy each time. Service is good speed even when busy but didn't…read morefeel rushed to leave. The wait staff came by often to remove finished dishes and 2nd or 3rd round drinks appeared quickly after ordering. Soups came out together, a nice touch because three of our group were eating banquet style. Food quality and value was good as usual - delicious katsudon and too big to finish. Bathrooms clean, staff polite and seem to prefer cash lol, no eftpos but credit card okay for orders over $20. Not a fancy pants places, but yummy and reliable, good place to meet up with mates. Book a table as it can be quite busy! (Also if they have the Tsunami in stock, which they always run out of, try it, it's amazing!)

Amazing prices for good size dishes. Food is excellent, and consistently so as attested by the…read moreregular clientele (many are weekly visitors). The staff are always polite, happy and efficient. The previous owner, Michael, was great and his successor, Annie, is just as good (which is not the norm when restaurants change hands).

This sushi and Japanese restaurant is a little gem and serves up authentic Japanese cuisine to the…read moreloyal clientele. It's tucked away in a little arcade so you'd be forgiven for not even noticing it. The setting is minimal and the overall atmosphere is simple and modest - Saki doesn't need a stylish interior or fusion dishes because it does honest food, and it does it extremely well. The food is delicious and very reasonable. There is a wide variety of fresh sushi, crispy tempura and rice and noodle dishes. I've been opting to pick up take away lately, as I've been busy studying. I usually start of with a serve of gyoza ($8) that are fried and oh so yum, followed by the whiting tempura ($10 for an entrée size, $16 for a main). The service is lovely, the girls who wait on your table and friendly and very welcoming - they also have some good suggestions about what you might like to try.

For a place that serves quality small plates I'm surprised it doesn't get that much business…read more Everything was simply amazing. The sashimi is so soft and flavorful rich. I'm still baffled at the salad that was served with raw meat and a tiny quail egg. I thought I tried everything Japanese by now, but that was new and amazing. The one thing that wasn't good... matcha beer. It's not a good idea, don't do it. Also wish they served their matcha without soymilk.

I was excited to try this after reading the reviews but I'm afraid it didn't quite live up to my…read moreramen standards. It might be more fun when drinking beer or sake but it was quite sobering otherwise. The okonomiyaki on a stick was good. It wasn't amazing but a nice start to the meal. I suggest getting one per person next time as it would have been easier than sharing. The shoyu ramen had all the right toppings but the broth lacked real flavour. Even after adding spices I still felt like it was just average. The pork, whilst tender, was bland. It could have used some braising on the grill. I would rather take a trip to the CBD for better ramen options but perhaps their other broths would provide more reason to return. Overall the portion size was worth the price.

We used to live around the corner from here and frequently dropped in. I'd never even heard of…read moreramen before coming to this venue. The bowls are a decent size and there is a range of delicious ramen flavours. Also they do edamame like no other place in the world. It's delicious and you will find no equal, a unique blend of salt, garlic and chilli, it's crunchy and tasty. The karaage chicken or JFC is really good as well. There is a cute courtyard out the back that is nice and quiet most of the time. The restaurant itself is quite popular and can get busy around dinnertime :)

It's worthwhile giving yourself enough time as the chef/owner would prepare sushi or sashimi dishes as per order. It means the dishes are served in freshest condition.

Delicious ramen & gyoza My husband ordered a tonkotsu chashu…read moreramen and I ordered the gyoza for lunch. The ramen was excellent - the broth was very rich and porky and the toppings (soft boiled egg, bamboo shoots, nori, bean sprouts and spring onions) were super tasty.

There are only a small number of tables, and a window bench for a few people. The chopsticks are disposable, and the service is cafe quality, but friendly and eager. The meals are a decent size for Japanese and reasonably priced (the Samurai Bento at $25 ish was plenty for dinner, and I am a big eater). Locals have been hiding this place!
