We arrived early and the staff were so accommodating and attentive, finding us a table in the sunshine for pre-dinner drinks. The food was delicious and well portioned. Highly recommend!

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.

    An amazing dining experience at Kisumé! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of amazing flavours. Every dish was a treat, and the quality of the food really stood out. The ambience is elegant and sophisticated, making it a perfect place for a wonderful Japanese dining experience. The service was excellent, and the staff made us feel very welcome. Definitely a must-visit when in Melbourne! We truly enjoyed every moment and would love to come back again. Highly recommended! ❤️🍣
