Dropped in for dinner with the wife without a reservation on a Saturday night at peak time. Probably should have booked but we managed to get a spot at the bar and weren't disappointed. Great menu with more than just the standard Aussie version of Japanese food. Our seat was right in front of the grill (behind glass) so we had the pleasure of seeing food prepared in front of us which I always enjoy. Recommend the grilled eel and pork belly, along with the edamame bean rolls (little fried pastry rolls with beans inside). Service was excellent and the iPad ordering system was gold and reminded me of the systems they have in ramen houses in Tokyo. So easy and efficient. Well worth a visit.

FleuriefirstFleuriefirstReviews (7)just nowRated Seconfd time I've eaten here and neither time disappointed. Just had an excellent light lunch here. Beautifully prepared, quick, friendly and courteous service. Could not be faulted. I've paid twice as much for half the quality often, and its generous off-street private car park is a bonus, sadly nearly empty today. I'm saddened and surprised it's not more popular though it was Monday lunch which is not noted for a busy time. This restaurant is well worth a visit if you haven't tried it. Not 'authentic Japanese Japanese, but good authentic generous 'authentic Asian Japanese. Well worth making your own minds up and I'd be surprised if you are disappointed. Take away menu looks generous in variety and I can speak for the relatively generous and well-priced entrees we had. Did not bother with the 'all you can eat' - I'm sure it would be good but plenty of fine selection besides that. The tempura vegetables were fresh, crispy and delicious, and our other choices all well-prepared and delicious - just can't recall what we ordered now. The tea was hot and had that lovely nutty toasted rice flavour but did not look in the pot to check. Well done and thank you very much. Will definitely be coming back and probably also try the take-away though forgot to pick up a menu as we left.

What a great restaurant food was excellent and the waiting staff were fantastic very friendly and helpful. I have eaten the Crown Japanese restaurant and paid over $200 for little portions and no better then what was served tonight. I have never been to an all you can eat before and was very surprised how good the food was. There two sittings per evening I booked at 17:30 and it filled up with customers very quickly. Pre book on line.

We came based on recommendations of a few friends. Small establishments with friendly staff and service was really quick. Food quality is very good and everyone loved it. Favorite item of the night was the yakiniku beef where we had 3 servings. Will certainly look forward to return again for more.

This was a most memorable night with food literally flying out the door. We went with our children who had to catch their bowls, catch their food and at one time my son was almost out the door to catch his food. I was not confident in doing this so passed. We tried food we normally wouldn't eat and it was great to watch the food being cooked in front of us. Not cheap, but was certainly worth the entertainment of catching bowls and food as it was thrown through the air. Definitely a must, if only for the experience.
