My husband and I have dined at Tsuru three times in the last couple of months. This is why we love it: the food is outstanding; the service is friendly, prompt and helpful; the music is pleasant and not too loud; it's in a pleasant part of the city. We also particularly enjoyed the advice we received one evening on which sake to order - and it was wonderful!

Honestly can’t tell you which was my favourite dish because every single course smashed it out of the park. This was the most memorable dining experience I’ve had in a Melbourne restaurant and am looking forward to many more visits in the future.

A really enjoyable dinner at Shou Sumiyaki. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and were happy to explain the menu and offer guidance. Our food arrived promptly and was delicious, especially the wagyu from the charcoal grill. We never felt rushed, which made the evening even better. Thank you to the team for looking after us.
