Fabulous night at Rising Sun Workshop, live jazz band, great ambiance and delicious food. We shared the sashimi, squid salad, chicken yakitori and a light ramen. Squid was so tender, everything was prepared with care and so much flavour. Staff super friendly, on a busy night.

We went here for my husband surprise bday dinner. We didn’t know what to expect cause it was a mix of good and semi good reviews. In my opinion,I can tell you the food was great! I love the yiayia home type experience. I am not Greek but my friends are and the food was great. We literally had 12 people and everyone said it was amazing! The pita bread and the tarramaaaa 10/10 the lamb, the salad, everything and the owner was so nice even gave us shots at the end! Just because! So defs recommend - thanks to the staff they were fun, vibey to the point we got there at 7.30 and left when they closed. it really did feel like having dinner at someone’s house.

First time visitor. 4 of us. It’s second storey with a side street entrance. The decor was great. The vibe was great. We had a booth with heaps of room. Staff were very helpful and knowledgable. Our food (Ramen) was excellent. Some Sake was a top accompaniment too. Definitely recommend here for Japanese
