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.

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

Shiranui is a great place to introduce Japanese cuisine to those who have not had Japanese before…read more Or rather, it's a great place to go for sushi. It has the reputation of being the best place to get sushi in Australia. When I first heard about Shiranui, I was told to go for the Omakase. The next dozen people told me the same thing. I don't eat seafood though, so I put it off. If you don't know, Omakase is where the chef decides what he's serving to you. Anyway, long story short, I ended up going after being persuaded by my lovely wife. I can tell you that it's quite an experience. While I sat quietly, enjoying my chicken dish (the name of which escapes me, but it was quite nice and fresh), my wife was treated to a series of beautifully presented (and judging by the reaction of my better half, beautifully tasting) dishes. It's a nice place, the service is pretty good and the food is tasty. I will be going back there.

This is the…read moreJapanese restaurant I compare most others to as the food is always fresh, efficient service and atmosphere is plain but inviting. You will also be guided on how to eat your sushi by the servers and chef directing you to "NO SOY SAUCE" or "Yes soy sauce". They offer a lunch menu and two sitting dinner menu's. Lunch: $25 and under -Chirashi bowl: Very juicy fresh fish with sushi rice on the bottom, miso soup, entree fish, chawanmushi (steamed egg). -Braised pork with rice: huge dish with miso. Meat was tender and very fragrant. Dinner: Dinner is more expensive and there are two sittings. It is important to book in advance. You can go with the al a carte or Omakase (sit on the bench and the chef chooses what to serve you). I have had each option several times and I suggest trying the Omakase first that way you can experience different types of sushi. One you know what you like, it may be more reasonable for your wallet to not have omakase. Must haves for me each time: seared salmon sushi, kingfish, yakuniku beef, sashimi platter, and of course the OYSTER- this is a must have and cost $4.5 each last time I went but so worth it. There is no fishyness to the oyster and it is in a sushi form topped of with something like kewpie mayo or cheese. AMAZING! Please give this a go and if you aren't into sushi/sashimi there are many other options such as grilled fish, rice, noodles and even a juicy steak.

We will probably go back because of the price and because it's one of the closest Japanese restaurants near sunbury.

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).
