Look, the service was okay, but there were a lot of other things that annoyed me about it, such as the tackiness of the place, and of course the rather limited selection of beers, but then again they can only stock what they can sell, and people who come to this pub generally don't drink the beers that I tend to like. Yeah, honestly, I really wasn't all that impressed.

I wasn't comfortable with that so asked for my own tab, and at the end of the night people were upset to be paying for someone else's food or drinks because they'd left, not ideal for such a big group.

Assorted sashimi was good, yummy fresh salmon, snapper (they didn't have king fish) and tuna. Mini spring rolls were okay. Grilled eel was great. The big problem is the menu. It has just a few options. Maybe about 10/15 dishes. To the sashimi, grilled eel and mini spring rolls we had the menu also offers tonkatsu pork, edamame, miso soup, teryaki chicken, salad, some kind of tofu, 3 or 4 more vegetarian dishes and that's all. There's no sushi rolls, no nigiri, no tempura, no fried rice, no gyoza... Which are the basics and standard at any Japanese! Very pricy for such a small selection. Definitely not a place for hungry eaters or growing children!

Food - 3/5 Value - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Lamb Kebab - 3/5 Tomatoes, onions, and lettuce were fresh. The schwarma meat was somewhat under-seasoned, but thinly sliced and high quality. The sauces were all very disappointing. BBQ sauce and Mustard sauce were off the shelf, and the chili sauce was very mild and somewhat bland. That said, for $11 AUD, this is a very generous portion of good quality food. Extra sauces are $1 each for a small container.
