Reviews
Just a bit too salty for my taste.
i've never been here and i've never heard anything abt it or seen any marketing
i was just walking around and decided to go in
pleasant atmosphere and decoration
everything looks clean and nice
i had to wait a bit for seating because it was busy but no worries
if anyone wants to come in and not wait i'd advise booking because it seems like that's their preferred way of seating people since they asked if we had a booking upon entry
service was very nice and all the food came quickly
i think everything is reasonably priced as the total came to $90 for two sides, two drinks, and two mains.
the food was very good i was really impressed
the ramen was good
the unagi was really good !
the side salad was also very nice the dressing was good and it was very nice and crunchy as is came with some sort of topping
the miso soup was just alright but i'm not picky with miso soup since it comes in a set and i didn't have to order it on the side
my only thing is.
i drink a lot of water and i have to go to the water station a lot to refill
and i wish the rice was less soft
but those two are more personal preferences since i personally drink a lot of water and i personally prefer less soft rice. i always add less water when i make rice to make it not super soft.
overall im very happy. i ended up reading some reviews before making my review and it seems like a lot of people had issues with service here but i did not experience that at all
service was very quick and friendly

Salmon fried rice was actually pretty good as the salmon was juicy, but the wagyu pepper rice was simply sub-par and should not have costed over $21 for a small portion of meat!
Had tasting boards. The meat was melting in my mouth. Butter garlic sauce was good too. Service isn’t fast and need to wait bit long to get drinks but staffs are friendly. I would come back for sure
Came here on Friday night as we were hungry and most other places had a line or were full and we can understand why this place had so much space. While the food was decent, it was quite expensive for what it was and the sushi train was no better, with some of the fried foods soft already during dinner service. Overall I wouldn’t recommend if in the area and just try and find another restaurant instead.
This ramen shop is a gem! The duck broth ramen is rich and flavorful, and the matcha sake is a perfect match. Great food, a cozy atmosphere, and excellent service 🍤🍤A must-visit in vic park. The staff with purple hair is a treasure to the shop.
The food was good,especially one of the Japanese craft beer, Yoyogi pale ale. Many people commented pricey, but they use quality meat so it wasn’t pricey I thought. I normally go to Japanese BBQ in Northbridge but the place is small so often fail to get a table, so I decided to try here. Staff were friendly yet service was too slow. Ordering system wasn’t good enough to be in use as you can’t check what you’ve ordered and to see the menu on the phone isn’t big enough. Though it’s a nice place to dine in so I’d definitely go back again. There are many free street parking too.
The meat was excellent, top quality, but that's not all that matters. When you claim to be a fine dining restaurant, you have the duty to meet various standards, not just in terms of food but also in the overall customer experience. Serving premium Japanese A5 beef comes with the responsibility of providing a service that matches this level.
My experience included a reservation for 8 PM, and a 20-minute wait before being seated. Okay, it's Saturday and busy, so I partially understand this (although the reservation system should ensure the table at the requested time), but at least a "sorry for the wait" from the staff would have been the bare minimum. There was a complete lack of interest from the waiters in checking if everything was okay, if I needed anything, with zero attention towards the customers (after spending $300 on a Luxury Japanese A5 Miyazaki Platter).
The description of the dish was minimal (dip the meat in oil and cook this variety longer since it's a thicker cut), when a place like this should, at the very least, present such high-quality meat with a bit more care. In true fine dining restaurants, presentation is an integral part of the culinary experience.
To top it off, the waiters started clearing my table while I was still eating, throwing ash from the grill onto me. Was it too much to ask to wait until I had finished? I understand that this level of service is no worse than a typical Japanese BBQ in Perth, but if you elevate yourself to luxury dining with high prices, then everything else must be top quality, not average. Otherwise, as a customer, I feel undervalued and treated as if I were eating $300 worth of meat at McDonald's.
If you can't afford to provide a service of the same level, you shouldn't charge so much for the meat. Remove the expensive dishes and remain a standard Japanese BBQ with good but average food, and I wouldn’t have had any complaints.
Edit: Thank you for your kind, well-articulated, and humble response. I also greatly appreciated the explanation of the Japanese tradition regarding luxury Food. All the best

nice vibe, what you would expect of a ramen place. friendly and pretty staffs, great service. one of the best black garlic ramen.
Never again. We visited Tao today at 4pm because most restaurants in the vicinity had closed between lunch and dinner. What a mistake. Service was slow and forgetful. Kaiten food was poor quality and sparse. Sign at the table stated that we wait for plates to be counted. Despite asking for the account we were not met at the table with someone to count the plates. Waste of time, waste of money, will not ever return; we'd rather travel to Jaws or other reputable Kaiten sushi.
Dirty place. Terrible food. They had oyakodon on the menu but didn’t understand what it is. Asked for more oyakodon sauce, got a udon broth instead. Chicken katsu had very bad meat odour which indicates the meat is probably really old. Will not be returning.
never again. some lullaby music playing in the background while we ate old dry sushi. the salmon tasted like everything but salmon since they obviously don’t change gloves or wash their knifes at all. the server didn’t even give us a menu or anything. barley any selection and i saw jelly and bagged lollies pass me more often than actual sushi. for a sushi train that’s kinda strange. instead of this ‘sushi train’ go to the one in carousel, at least they have fresh for and servers who know what to do. it felt like a food hall. soy bean drink was good tho.
Average price, not too cheap or to expensive, place was quiet, so our orders arrived fast, its cool so see ur steak frying on the hot pan they put on your table.
The meat was soft and juicy, they way it should be, their sauce was a very good addition to the meat flavor and to the rice portion as well.
I would come back.

It's a small sushi restaurant.
The Sashimi was sliced very thin, so I couldn't take a picture of it because I ate it all up in no time.🤣
And, we also ordered Teriyaki chicken and Ramen, which was slightly different from my order, but on average, they were all delicious.
It was a bustling atmosphere, but if the food is good, you can understand that, right?
Actually, I did. Because it was a busy time, customers kept lining up.
Next time, I'm really going to eat Spicy Ramen.

I appreciated the non-oily broth, but the serving was quite small, with only two very thin slices of pork. The noodles had a nice, firm al dente texture, but the broth was not particularly memorable
Rude staff and and over charging first time seen any sushi shop charging gor small soy sauce, mannerless staff don't know how to talk
Fresh ingredients, delicate food presentation, and even the drinks look and taste so yum 😋 😍, staff were nice and attentive. Especially, no food smell on clothes after dining, which really surprised me 🫰
Great tasting food. Black Garlic raman is the best and must try. Devils picy Raman is tastey and the Shiyo raman is also delicious.
I find the place good to above average only. The food is not too bad but compared with Keisuike down the road. It somewhat pales in comparison. However having said that. The black garlic ramen is tasty and wholesome especially with the gyoza. An Above Average Ramen place.
Been going there for so long always like to see the owner he brings good vibes been going for 7 years and havnt found any comparison 100% recommended trying 👌
My first time here and it didn’t disappoint 😋.
The place is cozy and the staffs are attentive and welcoming!
I ordered Spicy Miso, very tasty, yummy and the miso enhance the flavour of the soup. I added extra egg and meat! The cha shu is very soft
Karaage was just ok for me, it is a bit dry and salty based to my liking.
My partner had the Curry Ramen it was good and flavour is well balanced
Thank you! See you next time.

The food is fantastic highly recommended especially the wagyu beef, love it. The service is good and has very nice vibe. The only thing is the pork tastes kinda smelly (may not not as fresh). But overall is great. Definitely come back next time!
The curry was tasty and you can get them in different spiciness- mild, spicy and devil spicy.
They have a variety of offering from chicken katsu, beef, hamburger, wagyu and others.
There's a salad, chips, miso and other sides on offer.
A section of Pokka tea drinks, water and other drinks.
Seating inside and some seating facing the road viewing through open windows.
It can get busy at times, but at the times visited it was quite.
A great spot to feed your Japanese curry cravings.

Got the deluxe box. Great price and the best sushi I have had in a long time. Was pleasantly surprised. Worth a visit.
The store is very well presented and very atmospheric, they have booths and tables available, the tables being the only ones with wheelchair access.
The food was beautifully presented and already cut to size so that was nice and they have a wide range of prices and meats available. They have A5 meats from Japan as well as wagyu from Australia, they blend the two beautifully and it really feels great to be there.

Excellent service. The beef are so nice melted in the mouth straight away! Sashimi is so fresh as well as the oyster (forgot to take a pic). Came here for Mother’s Day and love the dessert!
Best BBQ in here!!! Really clean and doesn’t have even smoke smell. All the meat slices are creamy and soft texture. You have to try their premium rice. Sweet flavour and texture… I can just eat rice without anything.
1st visit here. Food was goood. Ordered the 2 meat (beef and chicken) sizzling curry, hot & sweet potato chips which were very tasty. Serve size was just what I expected. Overall good experience.
Food was affordable and a lot of options to pick. Unfortunately, some of the food did not taste good: tofu rice paper wrap tastes terrible, the sushi roll was cut too big and the rice's taste was too sour and mushy.
The waitstaff was quick and efficient, but sadly she was not friendly.
She swept the floor beside us when we were still munching our food. We personally felt like they were trying to keep the place clean, but not at the right timing because the dust can just contaminate our food when they were sweeping.
Hopefully they can increase the food quality more and also the service.

I recently ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry Don from Ramen Samurai through UberEats. The food itself was delicious, one of the better curry's I've had in Perth. However, the serving size of the meal left me with mixed feelings and I'm writing this review so that hopefully others can make informed decisions based on their preference.
The price for the dish was $22.50, and I opted to pay extra for additional curry sauce which was another $3. The total cost, including the extra sauce, seemed a bit on the higher side, but I was willing to pay for what I hoped would be an exceptional meal based on reviews.
Upon receiving the order, I couldn't help but notice that the quantity of curry sauce was somewhat disappointing. As you can see in the attached photo, the sauce container was only about a third full and the container which had the rice in, did not have any curry in it.
I reached out to the restaurant and they responded by saying that the amount of curry received was standard, saying that it's about three ladle's worth using their standard ladle. I generally eat what I'm given but on this occasion still felt that it was a lot less than regular serving sizes from many other restaurants.
Looking at some of the other reviews, it seems there is at least one other customer who's expectation was not met in regards to the serving size.
In the end, my experience with Ramen Samurai was okay. Again, the food itself was very delicious but portion size, especially for a meal that I paid $25 for was not to my expectation.
Worth noting that they did offer to refund the $3 I paid for extra curry sauce which was nice of them but that wasn't why I reached out so I declined.

The person running this place was so rude. I was walking by with my sleeping toddler and thought, hmm I might get some sushi while the baby is sleeping.. There were only a few rolls in the case and it was still early (10:45am) so I politely asked if he was open. He gestured wildly at the 4-5 rolls and said "that's all we have". So I thanked him and asked if in the future would there be more options from the menu? And I received another rude response 🤷🏻♀️
So just in case anyone was interested in the menu, don't bother trying to order from it!

The sushi could be really great. But we will never find out because the extreme rudeness of the owner/operator was so affronting that my 4 year old and I left without buying what we had intended to buy. You can't even call it a lack of service because it implies that service actually existed here. This place is like the black hole of customer relations and manners. I told the owner that his behaviour was unacceptable and offensive and he didn't even acknowledge that he had done anything wrong. Having worked in retail industry for half my working life from a casual position to operations and regional manager for an international company, I have dealt with many demeanours and behaviours but this one really took the cake. Please, by all means, eat here if you want to experience some of the best examples of the absolute worst behaviour.
Ordered chicken teriyaki Bento meal for lunch today . Did not enjoy. Will not order from here in future . 😒
We were here for late lunch so it was not busy. Peaceful and quiet relaxing. Nice selection of food from the menu and there is a sushi train. We had beef Singapore noodles and crispy chicken fried rice. There were delicious. Staffs were not really attentive but service was fine. I don’t mind to dine in here but I think it’s lacking atmosphere. I hope the restaurant will look into this to improve.
Best restaurant to recommend 🙌
Been here a few times and the place is an absolute surprise every time!
5 stars 🌟

Hands down to the best KFC! The honey soy garlic chicken was scrumptious and I’m currently craving for some right now! Meat was really soft and tender 🫶🏻 yumzzzz!
We ordered the Korean Army Stew as well and it was delicious! However, do take note you’ll get quite thirsty after eating it 😅 service was prompt and it’s really crowded during dinner time. The KFC was the star here and I wish I could try all the other flavours! 🥹
Good job and much love from Malaysia!

This Korean restaurant serves some pretty tasty dishes.
The spicy chicken is delightful, the skin is crispy, and the sauce is flavourful. But I wouldn't sleep on their chili dumplings, we all agreed that this is the highlight of the meal.
Would recommend!

The food was fresh and tasted good. However, it seams to be empty all the time, even the counter is empty, you have to poke your head to see who is there... service is okay.
It's the same name, but it varies from branch. I paid for extra rice and meat, but the amount of food was no different from the amount of food generally served. The beef even smelled a little strange.
The atmosphere at the store wasn't bad.
But I think this store should pay more attention to the food.

This is some of the best sushi in Perth… easily top 5 best sushi I’ve ever eaten in my life! Loads of vegan and vegetarian options and just so fresh and delicious.
Our favourite place to get yakisoba and reckon its top 3 in Perth. Quality of food and service has been consistent for the past 10 years.
Seoul Bistro is the best chicken place in Brisbane hands down. Their wide variety of flavours is good. Their buffet price is competitive and good bang for your buck! We all know their buffet is good, however what about their own menu items?
My missus and I tried their kaarage chicken rice bowl and my missus got their chicken skin. My rice bowl was okay. The rice felt gluggy. Thats the only con I guess. People have different rice preference and I grew up with fluffy steamed rice at home. They had good amount of chicken for $14.90. The food came out quick too. The chicken skins are best fresh. It does get soggy quickly though. The chips are good, stock standard. The blue cheese sauce is divine, a must try! Our drinks came out 15mins later when we were nearly done. Service is a hit or miss depending on how busy they are. They do their best though!

The food was AMAZING - best Japanese I’ve ever had and the service was lovely. Thank you so much for everything!
Have been here many times and have to say that the food is consistently amazing. Great value for money, the team continuously tries their hardest to keep on top of orders and ensuring your table is always filled with iced tea, chips and garlic bread, especially on the weekend when they get very busy. Definitely recommend making a booking to avoid disappointment. Thank you to the manager who always goes above and beyond to accommodate us whenever we dine in which is about 3-4 times a month.
Food was delicious and the service was great
Good place to have Sushi in Victoria Park. Atmosphere is good, place is good for groups and families. Variety of Sushis are available on the train which keeps moving near the table. Staff was polite, service was really good. Recommended to try different type of Sushi’s here. If you have preferences of Vegan or Gluten Free Sushi, that is also available on the separate Menu.
Excellent service and very authentic Japanese Izakaya.
Thank you preparing the baby seat for us before we even arrived at the restaurant- highly recommended!

I like that Arisun has been nicely revamped & the new menu like the DIY rice ball is really good 👍, but I miss the old menu such as the chicken with bones & pork bone hotpot! Fried chicken were alright, but wish that the snow cheese one had more snow cheese! I liked the Seafood Pancake, it was nice & crispy. The tteokbokki hotpot was yummy but the portion was a bit small. Overall, Arisun is still a good place for big groups to dine in the city or for drinks! They open until quite late too!
Orders are done via QR code (which seems to be more common these days, but more hassle when ordering in big groups). Please also note that they accept card payments only.

3.5 Stars. We only came here because Butcher's Buffet next door was full. Some dishes were great and others were a real let down (like the beef short ribs). Value for money wasn't the best either.
First star goes to big open spaces which was one of the draw here. Away from the hustle and tight spaces in other Japanese outlets, this is one of my go to Japanese local family owned restaurant.
Secondly, our food came served in ceramics and not plastic bowls or plates. I don't like hot noodle soups served in plastic bowls. That's another star!
I ordered karage miso based ramen noodles. The crunch of the black wood ear fungus and bean sprouts complemented the flavour of the soup. The half egg was cooked to perfection, with the yolk gooey and egg whites soft but enough to hold its shape. My daughter kept dipping into my bowl and slurped the most of the miso soup up. The karage was lightly flavoured not overly salty and had a light thin crisp batter which I preferred over thick batters. 👍
My girl ordered Spicy Chicken Udon. The soup was a not what she imagined it, she thought it was more a powdered chili flake added to a base soup. However, the Udon soup dishes all come with a balance of veggies and protein. Many outlets don't give veggies except spring onions. Next time, no chilli Udon for her.
I have to agree with everyone's comments before that the portion of food served is generous and value for money.

I have been coming here for almost 20 years and well my whole life, with my parents coming here longer than that. What can I say but the food is consistently fantastic and authentic. With the lunch bentos being a staple memory of this restaurant for me. Coming here with my dad when I was small and having a karaage bento for lunch, man those were the days. I highly recommend the karaage lunch bento, the cheese spring rolls, which have my brother and I hooked on it as they are just unbelievable good, the pork gyoza, with my brother saying its the favourite hes had, even with us travelling to Japan before and various other countries, ten-zaru soba, just a classic and authentic japanese meal, and the teriyaki chicken, I have had teriyaki chicken at many different establishments, however this is quite unique flavour wise and is this just phenomenal.
Service here is fast, friendly, and generally just great.
The atmosphere is quite nice with the setting being a bit more open. Just a personal must go to japanese restaurant, in Surfers. Can't recommend this place enough, from its food, staff, and atmosphere.

Every time we are on the Gold Coast, we go there for dinner. The food is so well prepared and served, staff so lovely and polite. Highly recommended!
This shop is quite missable and the packaged meals simple and humble looking. But for the price, it is fresh and of good quality. I am happy to have given it a try. Will be back
Visited for dinner from near the sunshine coast. I feel the value for money is great for the all you can eat wings. The wings were very fresh each time, we didn't enjoy the Sour cream and chives as the Sour cream was hot. Very friendly service.
I love the fried chicken here! One time we went and tried the boneless chickens and it wasn’t crunchy but every other time I’ve been it’s been good. There’s a good variety of flavours and we like the shoestring fries too. They do a fried chicken buffet but I’m not sure my stomach can handle that 😂
Sushi Bento food is daily fresh,good service .ang good quality.
Amazing food and fast service, seems very busy. There is a time limit for eating (1.5hours)
Highly recommend wagyu beef sukiyaki but every
other dish was just was delicious.

Very quick service, polite staff.
I loved the crunchiness of the wings, but they either got my order wrong or "buffalo" and "hot n spicy" mean a completely different thing to what you expect.
The Katsu was nice, but it had a certain spice that I didn't like. Still cannot place it, but was very bold.
The fries were very nice and perfectly cooked.

Food was great. Crispy, clean, fresh chicken, incredible pickles, and sides. Cannot fault the food. The service wasn't bad l, but I can't help but feel like we weren't welcome...
Seating wasn't the best either, our table was crowded in against a pillar and made the 4 person table feel like a 2.5 person table. In a restaurant that was at 1/4 capacity, it was disappointing to be placed in such poor seating. This only added to the feeling that we were not welcome.

I recently dined at this restaurant and was blown away by their boneless fried chicken and short ribs - both dishes were incredibly delicious! The outdoor seating area had a great ambiance and added to the overall dining experience. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food and a great atmosphere.
Food was very tasty and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Not badly priced for the area, very enjoyable meal.
I recently visited Arisun Restaurant for the second time and I must say that it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was lively with a good crowd and great music. What really made the experience stand out was the excellent service from the staff. They were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal.
Overall, Arisun Restaurant is definitely one of the best places I've dined at in a long time. The combination of delicious food, great music, and top-notch service from the staff makes it a standout dining experience. I highly recommend giving Arisun Restaurant a try if you're looking for a great meal and an enjoyable night out.

I love how they’re not stingy with the flavouring on the chicken, especially the soy 😋
Generously seasoned fries, toasted to perfection garlic bread and the sweet tea goes down nicely.
Some of the staff smile, some don’t.. Overall, yumminess though.

This place is definitely open and serving decent sized helpings of Japanese food that most people would be familiar with. I've definitely had better tasting Japanese but the overall price, customer service and quantity made me give it a 4 star rating. Not bad for a local.
First time here, the place was absolutely packed and busy but the staff were attentive and quick with service despite this. The food was good although the bun on my burger looked a bit squashed, the fact its a thigh burger and not breast meat made it moist and tasty. The katsu was OK and tenders were slightly dry but all round, it was quite good. Will go again and try the all you can eat wings next time and will edit this review to update 🙂👍 25/2/23
We've been eating here since February 2017 and really love it, as a great Japanese restaurant right across the road. The wait staff and chefs are all so friendly and lovely, the food is delicious and the ambience is cosy and inviting.
This restaurant has an authentic Japanese vibe. Their chicken don, wagyu sukiyaki hotpot and sashimi were average and felt a bit too bland. Service was extremely nice. I would highly recommend house made match icecream dessert, serving size for one person.
Very busy, need to book before coming in. Loved this restaurant, the staff and the food! We ordered on these tablets which made ordering quite easy. The staff kindly explained the food we were eating since it was our first time and they checked in on us every now and again. Loved the service! Wide selection of Japanese alcohol. Very authentic experience, will definitely visit again if I come back to the Gold Coast!
Wonderful business with really nice service. Unfortunately, Sushi Hub opening up takes a bit of fame away from this great place. Decently priced and food looked amazing. The only thing better than that was the taste. Customer service was great and I will definitely go back soon!
Asked for katsu and they gave us teriyaki because they only had that left.
Have heard then add on charges for things like spices mayo for normal sushi orders that weren’t in the shelves.

Now the food actually wasn’t bad, so food alone it’s 5 stars.
The sashimi was great, the sushi was large portioned, the hot pot was beautifully cooked, the rice was lovely and the udon was wonderful.
I loved the shot of sake as well it was smoothest I had ever had.
So food wise I cannot fault honestly!
However food is just 1 component of a dining experience and what let us down was the service. From the moment we got in I felt rushed and felt like we weren’t valued customers.
It was not customer centric, not for us at least. We had a pram and they weren’t helpful to allow us keep our foldable pram away. Fine I get it. It blocks the road. (1 star off)
Then we ask for hot water - response, oh we don’t serve that as a beverage. There’s a million reason why someone would like hot water, baby food was ours, but even a lot of elderly would like some warm water and that should not be a way to gauge $$ seriously. (1 star off)
Finally soy sauce was knocked over, the waiter said he will come clean it. Never came to clean it (per photo). (1 star off)
But I gave it 1 star back for just how good the food quality was.

I dare say the this place is the best experience I have had at an Izakaya restaurant in the Brisbane/Gold Coast region. This is in terms of the quality of the food, the service, and overall atmosphere of the restaurant.
On this first visit with family, we tried the Wagyu Sukiyaki, the Crispy Salmon Roll, Unagi Don, Buta Kimchi Udon and Karaage Chicken. The highlights from this for me personally were the Wagyu Sukiyaki, Buta Kimchi Udon and the Crispy Salmon Roll.
The total cost ended up being around $40 per person (with a total of 4 people), and I would highly recommend coming with a group so that you can all try lots of different dishes.
Booking is a must, as the restaurant is very busy, and you generally have about 1.5 hours to sit down and enjoy your meal. The food was served in a relatively quick fashion.

Excellent genuine Japanese served by friendly Japanese hosts.
Came late on a Saturday, plenty of space, and quiet so we could talk and wind down after a crazy day.
Food was delicious, perfectly lightly seasoned as one would expect of Japanese cuisine. Left quite satisfied!

Really really regret to have dinner here. Totally a scam. The food in the photo is big difference whit real food when you got. The photo has a lot of meat. When they bring the food to your face, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I thought they sent me wrong food. The meat looks so poor in the plate. Only few pieces. You can see in my photo. Will never come back next time.
When I get there I feel like I’m in Japan.
All staffs are friendly and kind.
Food is amazing.

The ramen is made out of chicken broth based. No pork added. So it save for muslim people. This is the second time we came here. Menu set available after 5 pm.
Almost but not quite. All our favourite Japanese places were booked out in Surfers when we stumbled on this place. We couldn’t figure out if it was open or not but saw a single table of Japanese people there. Pretty generic food but friendly staff made a difference
Popped in on a wet Saturday arvo and got myself some sushi. They serve both hot food and cold food. Selection is fairly broad and the food quality is great. The sushi for example, isn’t dry! Nice and most with rice cooked to perfection. Service quality is excellent for this little eatery.
Very recomended place for someone finding japanese food in Perth. Here they do not serve pork, so save for muslim people. Beef udon taste really good. Unagidon also full of flavour and with big portion. We will come again because so many menus haven't try yet. They also have sushi for $3.5 or $6 for two.
Teriyaki chicken rice was amazing. So tasty.
I went to on happy hour, so $16 for 2box, was really cheap.

Super friendly man and delicious sushi. You can see its made with love, nicely wrapped in foil, even if some people probably say, it would be better for our environment to serve without plastic. The rolls are very well filled. One tasted amazing, the other one still pretty good. And the man sold each for only $2 at the end of the day.
Incredibly rude staff. The store had a $10 eftpos minimum. I picked out my sushi and added a couple of ginger sides to it. It came to $9.50. As I was looking for something else to make up the amount the man put a 0.10c soy sauce on top and made me pay 0.40c for nothing. He put it in the eftpos machine so quick I didn’t have time to add it up. Moneys not an issue but it’s the principle. Will not be going back.
Great service and we'll priced. Authentic Japanese food (been 10 times in the past decade) and they had great lunch sets. They also have Suntory on tap (rare in Australia but common on Japan).
Sashimi was very fresh and cut well. I loved my ten don (tempura rice bowl) - the flavours worked well and the tempura is crunchy and not at all oily, it still retains its original flavours. The cold Udon was springy and the dipping sauce as good as any in Japan.

Traditional Fresh Japanese food and the flavour s are amazing. Just outside of the glitter strips so they say but so worth the 5min walk.
We had the most amazing experience as the attention to details of Japanese dishes.
The service was amazing and we will definitely become regular diners as this is just near our home.

I have ordered from here a couple of times and it seems as if they sometimes give chicken reheated from the night before that hasn’t sold or been eaten on their all you can eat menu. Today we experienced the same thing when we ordered their crispy chicken wings and the batter was mixed with other flavours and the chicken tasted OLD! The food was stale and disgusting. Someone needs to send a health/food safety inspector…
Average food, get what ya get for the price. Cold meat, 80% Cooked rice and old sushi
We are very regular customers and buy sushi at least once a week.
Sushi,fresh and tasty with plenty of variety to choose from.
We would award five stars except for the usage of flavour enharncers in the obento's
The owner told us the MSG is in the sauces and that they do not use MSG however the level of usage is far too high for it to be in just the sauces and confirmed with the reaction we experience after eating obento from this outlet.
Portion sizing has improved for the obento selections and excellent portion sizing for the sushi
The food besides the Sushi is not traditional Japanese and prepared which makes the food tasteless

Always good, lots of customers, fresh yummy food, good service, clean
Went to the Melville Tao Cafe on the 2 May and that was 5 stars. Boy was that really good sushi and a lot of different variety. Went to the Victoria Park one today and the sushi variety was a lot less and had to order from the menu as the ones that I did like never went on the sushi train. Plus the sushi rice was not made perfectly.
Maybe be best to stick with the Melville store as had a better experience there then the Vic Park store.

Good atmosphere to be, great for groups, families and even couples. Kids love the sushi train especially when it comes to desserts. They serve not only sushi but other Asian food. Plenty to choose from despite some hits and misses when it comes to taste but overall experience is great. Located next to IGA,this place is quite spacious. Service is good and food is reasonably priced.
Yummy food. I ordered Kimchi Pepper Beef with Cheese, and partner got his Combo Deluxe with Premium Steak and Salmon. Just do not order the seaweed shake salad, not worth it. Super small for $3.95. But order chips instead! So so worth it!
This hidden gem located on the 2nd level at Southland Boulevard Shopping Centre at Willetton. Love love love their sushi, always our go to place for a quick and yummy meals. Apart from their sushi, their karage chicken & teriyaki fish rice box are delicious as well. Apart from their taste, the portions are always generous and price are reasonable too. Highly recommended!
A great place for a delicious night out. Service is very fast and efficient. They have a variety of dishes guaranteed to satisfy all groups. The meats are high quality and the sides even more so. Definitely a great place for a semi do it yourself dinner. P.s. if you’re struggling to choose a dish, just go with the classic Pepper Beef.
Beautifully fresh sushi!
They do make them fresh everyday!!
Look gorgeous and taste very nice!

I'm not a sushi expert, but I've got a fairly well-rounded palette and understand flavour. This is one of the better sushi places in Perth and chef has a passion what he's creating.
Works for me.

Would not buy from this place.
Caught one the workers picking his nose multiple times while waiting for customers. Approached him and he was not apologetic ..
Disgusting
