I opened up my order to find they had generously upgraded my Teriyaki Salmon with rice to a full Bento Box!
Every part of the meal was presented well and tasted amazing. It was my first time ordering from the restaurant and I will definitely be visiting for dinner soon.

It was an amazing experience to enjoy high-quality Japanese food in Australia. Every dish was fresh with perfect texture, and the staff were incredibly friendly. It made my trip to Manly truly memorable.

I had ordered few time for takeaway, but this was my first time dining in.
The food was delicious! As a starter we had the puff curry, and as a main the panang curry and stir fried oyster sauce with beef. All of the dishes were really good.
The atmosphere was great, nice music and a nice outdoor area. The service was friendly and good.
I will come again!

Really love every bits of the food that they serve here. Taste really authentic, so many different variety. The atmosphere is really cute. Don’t judge by the design or the restaurant service scape, it’s more about the taste of the food really. Everything is top notch. Well done👍 .

Super friendly staff, delicious tuna belly, grilled calamari. Top quality sushi and sashimi. My new favorite for best value is the chirashi bowl. Clam miso soup is also delicious.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Relaxed dining, friendly service, food always delicious and freshly prepared. Very popular with locals for eat in or take away. My favourites are the Queenscliff set for lunch, Gyoza, Rainbow Rolls, Tempura, Miso Ramen or the tasty Agedashi Tofu. Some great draught beers on tap or try the Choya plum liqueur after your meal!

The food was amazing and Joe’s warm hospitality made my dad’s birthday a night to remember. From the greek salad to the delicious fig and prosciutto pizza to the pork ragu everything was 10/10. The last traditional old school Italian shop on the northern beaches. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a great night feed with good laughs!
