"I tried this place by chance, and before writing a review I went back a second time to try another dish. Well, I can say it’s really excellent. I don’t really know what else to say, because I was so happy eating these two dishes that I’m a bit lost for words. I definitely recommend giving it a try."

"The best Katsu curry in Melbourne!! It’s tucked away just outside of the city but still really easy to get to, right by Anzac station. I’ve been there 6 times now and every time the food is just as great as before. Really great value for money and the staff are kind too!"

"Lovely little place once you find it. Reminds me of those little places in Japan where the menu is small but they do all those things really well. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area. Potato croquettes were a highlight."

"Very delightful little Japanese cafe serving the kind of food you’d find in Japan! The staff are Japanese and efficient. The edamame was perfectly charred, Katsu pork was perfect and the curry sauce was good enough for us to take it away :)"
