"Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for delicious Japanese food with generous portion and good services without breaking the bank. It's rare to find such a great balance of value and taste, and this hidden gem truly delivers. Appreciate the wonderful staff who attended to us. She was incredibly friendly, attentive and made us felt welcome from the moment we walked in. Even though we arrived about 45mins near closing time, she never rushed us once, ensured we felt completely at ease, allowing us to enjoy our meal at our own pace. Her kind approach truly made the experience special. Looking forward to returning to explore more of their Japanese dishes!"

"The special menu was a hit with the whole family. We particular liked the Karaage Ramen and the chicken was lovely. We also liked the four dollar bubble tea special add-on for the special drinks. If you’re looking for parking, make sure to park at the side streets as there is limited parking at the front as it is on a main road. Overall, a lovely place if you’re looking for a quick fast and cost-effective meal for the family."

"Lovely Japanese restaurant in Burwood with a great menu and a fun, quirky vibe. The food was fresh and tasty — I especially enjoyed the prawn udon, which was flavorful and comforting. The place is full of Japanese anime art and collectible toys, adding a unique charm to the dining experience. Worth a visit if you’re into Japanese food and culture!."

"We had ordered Homemade Karaage chicken(Spicy Mayo), Panko Prawn, Ramen creamy curry based noodle with Teriyaki chicken, Udon Spicy Tonkotsu with Teriyaki Beef and Teriyaki Wagyu Beef Donburi. All the foods were very tasty with the right amount of spice. We would definitely go back to try other dishes. Would have given 5 stars if the staff were more friendly."
