We ordered takeaway from this Japanese restaurant. The place has bar and normal seating inside .
We ordered the chicken katsu bento which came with a generous amount of sides. The pasta was light and the seaweed salad was full of flavour. The rice itself was well flavoured and surprisingly had bits of meat mixed inside. The katsu was well battered wand crisp but the bottom half was slightly soggy haven't being left on the shredded cabbage
High quality foods and reasonable price
We come here to celebrate our birthdays nearly every year. What a great restaurant. The food literally melted in your mouth. Very pricey but totally worth it!!
Shira Nui provides an authentic sushi-ya experience just as you would find had you walked in from the streets of Tokyo. The Chirashi lunch special is the highest quality at an absolute steal, whilst the chefs omakase is the perfect special occasion meal. Read the blog to find out more.

Been to a number of spots in Melbourne that do omakase and can confidently say that this is the best one to date! Not only do you get one piece per fish, you get two whole pieces per fish for pretty much the same set menu price at any other omakase.
My favourite was the first fish (can’t remember what type) but love it when certain cuts are seasoned with just a bit of salt or yuzu. So simple yet so flavoursome. The aburi pieces are good too but nothing outstanding. Was my first time eating eel as a nigiri piece and enjoyed it. However that cheesy oyster - it’s a no from me. Worth trying, but I would not be ordering that as an extra piece.
Chefs were friendly, attentive and patient while I took a photo of each serving before savouring; our plates were frequently changed too, which I appreciate so much!!! (no doubt a clean plate free of sauce or leftover rice photographs way better). I’m glad the chef took notice of how quickly I went through the ginger on my plate and generously topped up. Highly recommend this place; worth the travel and hope to come back soon.
There is a reason why you need to book ahead, and every seating seems to be full. You know what to expect, and you are never disappointed.

Shira Nui has been on my list to hit up and seeing as work was super close to it, it was definitely a lunch break kinda place. Luckily for me, there was a lunch menu and lunch only had two sessions, 12-1PM and 1-2PM which meant, we had to leave on the dot. We visited on a Friday lunch and boy oh boy were we glad that we made a booking because it was jam-packed! We were seated immediately and as the minutes ticked by, more and more people came in and a few people were turned away due to how busy it was.
A "No Soya Sauce" Review.
None of that hand-rolls and sushi sushi, Shira Nui is a great location in the suburbs if you don't want to travel to the CBD to eat great Japanese food. But this review speaks for the omakase.
We indulged in the omakase using our life savings, but it was totally worth the experience. 9 types of nigiri X 2 and you get 18 carefully crafted pieces, each served and prepared fresh by the chef at a good pace. Each type of nigiri served in the order that it was - was not overwhelming as each piece is served to introduce the next and refresh your pallete from the richness of the last. It was more than enough to eat. Waiter staff were polite and helpful to omakase patrons. We hope to return for the omakase, as it is different every once in a while.
We came here for dinner the other night and loved the service and food here. We started off with the entrée sized sashimi plate and the cheesy oyster sushi which is priced per piece. The sashimi was fresh but we LOVED the cheesy oyster sushi the most. We then ordered the beef tataki and the miso sea perch, the beef was sliced thin and the salad below was extremely tasty. The miso sea perch was by far my favourite, the mjso creamy and the fish was cooked to perfection- I wish this dish was larger
