Good dining experience and reasonably priced.
I met a friend for some long overdue catch-up and enjoyed a beer, warm sake, edamame, agadeshu, and a sushi deluxe platter (which comes in a ginormous sailing ship). Capped it off w/ fruit and ice cream. All up = $125.
Service was really good w/ attentive staff and fresh food. The edamame was good as was the agadeshu. The sushi platter wasn't bad but a bit disappointed in the selection and serving size. We paid the extra $ for salmon and tuna only and felt the portions could've been more generous.
I'd definitely give this restaurant another go, although might be more selective of any sushi/ sashimi selections before ordering.
Well worth the visit and recommend you give it a go too !
We had a delicious meal! This place is reasonably priced and we hd such a great dining experience we celebrated with a 300ml bottle of hot saki which was presented in a figurine that pours from the mouth! Definitely will come back again.
Food here is absolutely amazing!!! The food and the service everything's on point!!! It's just surprising how smooth every dish could go together from entree to desert. Highly recommend definitely worth to come down to Glen Huntly just to try out this! Btw it get's really busy at weekend make sure book a table in advance!
Our local Japanese only waking distance away. Too late (8pm) for us to dine-in with bub, so takeaway it was. We ordered a few rolls, mixed sashimi, gyoza, miso eggplant and teriyaki chicken. Sashimi was fresh ad tasty though some pieces weren't separated leading me to believe the knife was slightly blunt. Did I really care? No.
Eggplant, gyoza and chicken were great dishes. Presented really well too. The sushi rolls were ok. Too much rice and not enough filling.
Would i order the rolls again? Probably not. Would I go back, most definitely.
The sashimi is always fresh and tasty!! The staff are always ultra friendly. My favourite on the menu is their bean shoot salad, super light and fresh!
Great atmosphere and fresh produce. Wait staff are well trained and polite.
Food is good quality too. I enjoy the beef tataki, and sashimi. The cooked dishes are well balanced and tasty. Many japanese restaurants I've been to the cooked meals are quite sweet, but not here. Definitely a must try, good to go on weeknights when its a little less busy to avoid the wait and enjoy a plesant meal. 🖒
Popped in for an early dinner. Love the late 80s, early 90s Japanese decor. It is all immaculately presented and clean. Friendly service, with our waitress wearing a traditional Japanese outfit. Her English wasn't great but we had no problems. Extensive menu with good vego and vegan options. Very reasonable prices. My vege bentoh was the best I've ever had, and all prepared fresh. Well priced alcoholic drinks. Just $5 for a glass of Japanese plum wine. Will definitely return. Note: $25 eftpos minimum. They also do take-away.
I love the beef Tataki and Nasu so much. All the source and food they make by themselves. I saw a lady is making Gyoza when I am waiting for take-away. Also, the sashimi is pretty fresh~~ ❤️
Good restaurant, its Japanese food is affordable and the sashimi is really fresh. $25 is enough for one. Pancake is different with other restaurants, but it's really delicious, so I recommend you to try it.
Have been going here for years and keep on returning, it's a really great cheap and cheerful suburban gem. The staples for us are the gyoza, okonomiyaki and beef no tataki. The katsu and tetsuta age are also really good.
We came here for a birthday dinner and the food was good and the service excellent. The portions were on the small side though and it felt a little expensive for what we got, but overall it was an enjoyable night.
The Tatsuta Age is the highlight, the chicken pieces are tasty and juicy. Each of the other morsels complement each other and to me this is the perfect bento at the right price. The restaurant itself still has its 90's decore and the ambience isn't exactly inviting (elevator music is played), however it's a great local for a quick bite. I come here weekly and never get sick of it.
Love it!. Restaurant decor nothing even slightly special but this place makes up for it with their delicious food and great value for money. Highly recommend!
Good consistent quality. Good round up of traditional Japanese dishes in a traditional Japanese restaurant setting. Inexpensive , e.g. $11 for chicken teriyaki, big portion of fresh tasty and well cooked chicken.
red-style Miso soup is good too
Decent food quality, very reasonable pricing and generous portions. The only let down was the slow and lukewarm service.
Had the banquet for 2. Amazing. Soooo much food. Good value for your money. Ours came to the same price as other couples who were having seperate dishes from the menu. Banquet is with it! I'll be back!
Quick. Cheap. Delicious.. My girlfriend and I have been eating at this restaurant for over a year now. We love it. The food is great, cheap and we're always served quick.
Loved it used to live around the corner, very fresh and excellent service!
If only all local Japanese restos are like this... I didn't have high expectations when a friend invited me try her local Japanese izakaya. But I was pleasantly surprised by the gutsy miso soup, refreshing prawn salad and the flavorsome gyoza. I also the beef soba noodles - good "bite" to the soba and not oily - which was really filling I even had some to take away. This ain't anywhere near my 'hood, but it's almost worth the trip.
MEGA LIKE!. This place certainly doesn't look like much from the outside but WOW. The food is AMAZING and wonderful value. The service is good, but the waitresses aren't too good with english and there's usually not enough of them. The decor is nice but slightly tacky. Still, all up a really wonderful place to go.
I highly reccomend getting a plate of their gyoza, a serve of vegetable tempura and their bento box.
Year of the Ox Tongue. Nagoya is comparable to many of the suburban Japanese venues you'll discover, with its slightly dated pine tables & chairs and minimalist Japanese décor. The menu includes a nice representation of sushi, sashimi and hand rolls, alongside a broad range of cooked fare.
We commenced with a main size sashimi, which whilst very fresh, was sliced a tad thick for my liking. Salmon was the dominant fish on the plate, with only a sampling of tuna and kingfish, and it wasn't the prettiest arrangement of sashimi I'd encountered. A serve of unagi sushi (grilled eel) was very tasty, even if it was a challenge to pick up with chopsticks.
Moving onto the cooked dishes, my partner wasn't thrilled with her miso soup, however the gyoza were a very nice interpretation, comprising a thin golden exterior and a light, tasty pork filling. A serve of beef tataki was very good, and the gyu tan (grilled ox tongue) and hotate yaki (braised scallops in garlic butter) both rated highly.
The pricing at Nagoya is fairly modest, and the overall quality of food served up is pretty decent for a local venue. The service on the night wasn't fabulous, and appeared to be struggling to cope, which is a concern when the place wasn't at capacity. Acquiring the elusive ice bucket also proved particularly challenging...
What a good place. I thought nothing special on Glen Huntley Road near the station as it look like a dead street. I drove pass this Japanese Restaurant and found my interest and decided to have a try.
Small, but full of people. Poor waitress had to wear a traditional Kimono on a hot summer day and worked all by herself. But, the service was pleasant.
Food was fantastic yummy. Ordered the Tataki Beef, Sashimi and Bento with famous Sapporo beers. Fresh, tasty and authentic. Love it, luckily to found another authentic Japanese Food.
Hidden suburban gem that's been there since 1987. Straightforward authentic Japanese, no steps to update cooking style and they do this very well. Very well priced including drinks list, Sapporo for $6! No split bills though
An amazing place for a date night!
The sashimi was delicious and the soy sauce came out in an adorable little tea pot.
The teriyaki chicken was delicious as well as our noodles.
The staff were friendly and the food came out quickly as well!
I’m excited to go back again and try more food on the menu
Cute, quaint little place. The owners are typically Japanese, very polite and lovely. Great for my kids too.
Would've given 5 but it's just a tad pricey (like all good Japanese places..)
Absolutely delicious food. Fantastic service. This is one I would definitely recommend. And such great value.
Quality and value for money Japanese cuisine..... a rare find indeed
I've been ordering/ dining in at this restaurant for around 20years. Food ALWAYS fresh ALWAYS amazing. Friendly staff and very reasonable pricing. 5 stars for me.
