What a find this place was! You'd drive past it a million times and never stop by, but this…read moreunpretentious little eatery serves traditional Japanese food that is matched by the fanciest restaurants. First time I stumbled in, the places was filled with Japanese families and couples. The first rule of Asian restaurants applies here... if it is full of Asians, the food will be good. I don't live near Palm Beach, but when I want an excellent Japanese feed, I make the trek out there. You won't regret it either.

Why oh why are there no reviews for this fabulous place?!! I'm not even a local and I'm jealous…read morethat I don't get to come here all the time. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The menu is diverse ranging from sushi to salads to curries and there is an extensive range of sake and other Japanese alcohol. I first time I enjoyed miso soup, gyoza, and japanese pancake for around $20 which is very reasonable, as the rest of their menu. The second time I had the chicken katsu curry with salad for $16 which was huge and very filling. Yum. I'm going to miss this place. I hope more locals appreciate it now :)

My dining partner and I recently had the 24 piece set and it was a bountiful blend of raw salmon, ahi tuna, mackerel, scallops, all beautifully sliced and presented, and plenty of wasabi and soy to blend and dip it into. It's a wonderfully fresh addition to their menu and we also tried their homemade Sakegria (750mL carafe was $30) which is super fun to drink and also to pick the fruity bits out of your glass with your chop sticks...it's a manual test of drunken dexterity. Enjoy!

I'm going to give this place 2 stars because it wasn't inedible.. it just wasn't good.it probably…read moredeserves 2.5 stars. The service was good and the waitresses were really attentive but I think for the price it was a massive let down. The miso soup was good. The beef tataki was prepared earlier and my partner said it had a roast beef taste to it. The edges were cooked but raw in the middle and cold. Fridge cold. We shared the prawn and vegetable gyoza which tasted like the pastry was stale or suffered some serious freezer burn before being fried. The inside was a bit mushy. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't good had no crunch or crispy to it. I had the Teppan which is tofu and vegetables in a sizzling plate. It came out sizzling and 2 of the tofu pieces were soft and nice and the other 2 were a bit hard and dense. Flavour was acceptable. Way too much onion and not enough other vegetables. My partner had the teriyaki chicken which had large chunks of chicken.. cooked well enough.. the pieces were large so there wasn't enough marinade to go and it was more chicken to marinade ratio... Both our rices came out tepid almost cold instead of hot so I don't think it was fresh. Some of the rice chunks were hard. I think especially at any kind of Asian restaurant. The one thing that should be excellent is the rice and it wasn't. Actually that's probably a good way to describe the evening... it just felt not fresh and I think for a $70 dinner for two, no drinks. The meals should be at least that. We didn't order from the train just the set menus. I definitely won't be coming back and if you come from Melbourne where the Jap food is pretty much always good and at this price point great... be prepared to be let down!

The ramen was delicious - the broth was rich and flavoursome with lots of vegetable toppings and the noodles were nice and chewy. The chicken curry was pretty good too. This is a great value option and the staff are very friendly!
