Deserves a 4.5/5…read more My family and I were on Puckle St, and we were looking for something to eat. Sushi rolls are easy for us because we all love Japanese food. We love good Japanese food. My wife is Japanese, I've been to Japan 21 times, and even my 4 year old daughter has been there 5 times! The sushi rolls were very good. As usual, the seaweed was too soft to be good, authentic sushi. However, by sushi roll standards, the rolls were excellent. Service needs work. We were served quickly and politely, but their attitudes were very cold.

Order any of the don dishes and they are huge, you'll have trouble finishing them. Despite the ladies being really nice, you can tell they struggle through peak time lunch hour, they don't quite have that effective production line happening, but given its been opened in less than a year I'm sure they'll get better at it! My sushi picks - karrage (fried) chicken roll, miso eggplant, spicy fresh tuna. Yum

I walked in and was given a small table next to the belt, and was amazed at all the different dishes coming out. You can also order using your phone, which I did- beer and Saké, which was brought to me within a minute! I also ordered some Sushi that was not on the belt, and it came quickly as well! There were two servers running around, but they were cheerful and funny, and very helpful. I grabbed several plates, and everything I had was fresh and tasty- AND- QUALITY. There are seats right next to the belt, but there are some tables as well, if you want a more normal dining experience. When you are done, they count up your plates, and then you pay at the register- I was amazed at just how cheap my meal was! I will happily come back here again!

Chiba used to occupy a much smaller venue on Hall Street closer to the Mt Alexander Rd end. They…read morewere pumping then, always having a full dining room so I was interested when they moved to see if they could keep it up. They can! The food is fresh and tasty. The Kaki Fry (fried oysters) is one of my favorites and never fails to satisfy. The sushi is delicious and creative. The staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant decor creates a good atmosphere however this is let down whenever the phone rings. The ringing tone sounds like a poker machine and gave myself and my guest an unfortunate vibe last time we visited. This aside Chiba is a great Japanese restaurant that i will continue to visit.

As someone who consistently seeks new flavours, experiences and techniques, Chiba Japanese…read morerestaurant has again proven its longevity after I've returned for yet another of its simply and expertly executed meals. The decor is modern and the furnishings clean, with finesse that is uniquely Japanese, setting the tone for the meals that rapidly flow from the kitchen. Fresh & traditional dishes are served by polite wait staff who weave through the often fully booked restaurant efficiently and professionally. All levels of flavour preferences can easily be met; you will often see children with their parents at the first dinner sitting, and popular Western favourites like hand rolls and teriyaki chicken also grace the menu. This however, is not what should be expected as the standard from Chiba, as they offer dishes for a more refined palette like takaki beef and octopus sashimi. Comfortable, impeccable and very reasonably priced, Chiba Japanese restaurant never disappoints.

As far as take away food goes, it doesn't get classier or more gourmet than Walrus Japanese. The…read moreWalrus Inn is a delightful little restaurant, the inside of the restaurant is a place you don't mind dining in at, although it's quite cosy and they are popular so eating in sometimes is not as easy as it sounds. You can't walk past the ample array of sushi and bento boxes. If you're not too keen on seafood or raw fish, the variety of hand rolls will have you salivating; chicken terriyaki and vegetarian are the two variants I've sampled and they are delicious. Walrus Japanese also serve up fried fast food faves like dim sims, dumplings and spring rolls. Great food I've come to trust, always fresh with fast and friendly service. As far as Japanese and sushi goes, this IS as good as it gets!! AND they open at 7:00am so you're able to drop in and grab your lunch before the daily grind.

What a walrus has to do with sushi is anyone's guess, but thats not the point!…read more The point is, that Walrus Inn do good quality, fresh sushi when and where you want it - in downtown Moonee Ponds! The sushi is of high quality, tastes good and is served by friendly people who are always cheerful. All the usual suspects are there such as tuna, smoked salmon, raw salmon, terriyaki chicken, avacado etc and of course they do those boxes with a selection of sushi-type treats. There are tables to sit down and dine al fresco, but it is also perfect if you want to dine on the hop - and if so, there is a bin conveniently placed 3-4 metres away so when you finish your sushi, you can get rid of the packaging, rubber band and sauce in the fish container that you dont use... A great little sushi place and one that I almost never walk past without buying something!!! My kids love it too and always want something too!

The salmon and all the sashimi is so fresh. The unagi... omg... melts on your tongue. The best I think I've had yet. It's soooo easy to rack up a huge bill here, everything is so good! The mandarin jelly is soooo refreshing and delicious for afters. Can also recommend the mochi! Just love it. My best tip is to sit in the seat furthest from the front door so you get first choice of the freshest served sushi as it comes around. I'm worried about sharing my tip because then I'm afraid everyone will do it and steal my favourites from the sushi train before they get to me. Update: We just went again Friday night and they've got this amazing at-table-app you can now use to custom order and an amazing delivery system! So fun!

The service was also a little slow, we had to get the waitresses attention every time we wanted something. But the price made up for it. We had 3 decent sized sushi rolls, two miso soups, 2 pots of green tea, a desert and a gyoza dish for around $63. We will probably go back because of the price and because it's one of the closest Japanese restaurants near sunbury.
