We had an amazing dinner experience for my family's birthday celebration. All the food we ordered was delicious and authentic. Tempura prawns, sashimi, unagi nigiri, beef tendon and agedashi tofu were outstanding! Service was excellent too. We'll go back for lunch and try some ramen next time.

Highly recommend dining here! I ordered the salmon sashimi don and it was divine! Huge portions as well and absolutely delicious. We were recommended by a friend to come here and don't regret it at all. The staff are all so friendly as well! The parmesan karaage chicken was also very yummy!

Erika from America was the best waitress ever. Food was amazing as usual. My sisters & I were absolutely blown away when Erika gave us a Dan Murphy’s voucher upon leaving. Love Yoko. From The 3 Sisters
