I've been meaning to come here for a long time.. even had it saved in my google maps, and finally I…read moregot to try this place. It's a small family run business and the hosts are very friendly and welcoming. I made sure to make a booking as I didn't want to turn up disappointed without a seat. It was fairly busy on a weeknight which is great for a small business. There were so many things I wanted to try on the menu but I'll just have to make another trip here. It didn't take long for the food to come out, we also ordered a sashimi platter which I didn't take a photo of because we devoured it. The sashimi pieces were nice and fresh which made it very easy to eat. The tempura udon noodles were perfect and delicious. Great for a cold Melbourne's day. It complimented well with the umeshu jelly drink. I will definitely be coming back here again

I always crave Matcha latte's and have been looking up places to try them. My favourite place is in…read morethe CBD, however I wasn't going to travel to the city to get one and wanted to see if anywhere locally would have it. I've walked past Kyoto cafe a few times and noticed it had a sign outside promoting Matcha Latte's now available. I love a strong and rich Matcha flavour which is hard to find as some other places make it taste weak and bland. We tried a hot Matcha Latte and a hot Matcha chocolate latte. It came out nicely presented (with a meringue biscuit on the side) and tasted quite nice. A touch on the sweet side for me but can definitely taste the matcha flavour. The hot matcha chocolate latte tasted almost the same as the normal matcha latte. Not bad for a local place to enjoy a matcha latte without venturing too far. we came back a second time when it was 30degrees to try the iced version matcha latte. It was enjoyable and refreshing. Note and FYI : they don't use skim milk (I was told only full cream milk) (We didn't try the food, only Matcha latte's)

This largely hidden gem exists in the sleepy suburb of Mitcham along the Belgrave line and is sure…read moreto be Mitcham's best beer bar. It seems like a lot of passion went into this place and the people (person?) behind it executed a proper craft beer hall with some fine selection of craft beer from around the world and Victoria specifically. I guess that the owners there are somehow into (the relatively niche) imperial stouts as there will always be some kind of imperial stout on the menu. They provide all the cool bar games (CAH anyone?) in addition to a pool table and a lot of stuff that will also keep the little monsters busy. Very simple bar snack options are provided but any outside food can be ordered-in and menus for local venues (just downstairs or across the road) are provided - so please consider also supporting these small local businesses too. Overall a fine effort which is carefully hidden from the public, I would argue it's worth making your way over from downtown for a sampling - preferably one of the massive 10p paddles if you dare

Serving up a mix of Japanese favourites, from sushi and hand rolls to sit down dinners, the staff are always friendly, and the food that I've had is always great. As a vegetarian, I go for a rotation of the avocado, egg or vegetarian hand rolls. All are fantastic, and up there with the best I've tried. We once had a large group coming over and went to these guys for our catering. They supplied us with an enormous amount of small bite sized hand rolls, and for a great price, we had everybody's belly's happy.

The people behind the counter are welcoming to all customers, and I don't notice many more than myself. Oh well, more for me. They make up some wicked platters and collection dishes, and while they don't a lot like the pictures in the window they taste pretty good.
