From the service to the food, the whole experience was fantastic and memorable. Our server was really attentive and made sure to accommodate our dietary requirements. The food was incredible, all the flavours and textures paired perfectly together! Thank you for having us, I hope we can visit again soon!

Visited Izakaya Hosuka for lunch the first time and left with the following impression: food (very delicious and fresh) and service were excellent. A small restaurant but cosy, music was loud on arrival but that was attended to. Bill for two on a Sunday was $105. Overall rating 8.5 / 10. We will return.

My husband actually had a medical episode last night at this restaurant where an ambulance was called. I can’t express enough how kind, helpful and accommodating the entire staff was. They even broke his fall when he began to fall from the high top table. The men in the kitchen caught my husband and the two beautiful young girls working at the bar helped him get comfortable and were doing everything possible to ensure he was okay. The food was so fresh and the drinks were amazing too (I recommend the fruit flight!.) All the staff in your bar need a raise!!! Excellent, kind hearted and passionate staff!!!

Food was fast and service was great. I booked in advance and we got seated upstairs which was quieter and lovely as we celebrated our engagement. We also moved the booking a week and it was not a problem

10/10 it was my first time coming here to celebrate my birthday with my friends and absolutely everything we ordered was delicious. The salmon tacos, kingfish, wagyu tartare, chicken bao, green beans, miso barramundi just to name a few were all so tasty 🍣🥰

Always such a fun experience. Very attentive hosts who have wonderful personalities and really make the overall experience memorable for all ages. The space has a relaxed yet upbeat vibe that makes you want to chill there for hours. And then there's the food and drinks menu.........that just keeps bringing you back. See you again soon Tamura.
