Loved it so much!! A complete hidden gem! We walked in to book a table for 8pm at 5pm since we’re staying at the Stamford from Melbourne. I was craving some good sushi and wasn’t sure what to expect in Adelaide but WOW! The Crane has exceptional staff service, and the man who I’m assuming is the main chef/owner is so nice! The food was absolutely delicious and everything was so fresh and clear in flavour! They also had a beautiful selection of sake.
I have been Japan 3 times before. All the sushi here are tasted good. The sashimi is fresh. I don’t know why people said the tuna tataki is raw as a negative comment . Come on, tuna tataki is raw!
Have to wait for the food but it deserved. All the sushi and roll are fresh made.
The teriyaki chicken bento is excellent!
We ordered the big platter, it looks normal but the taste is excellent.
Nice Japanese atmosphere, fresh, clean, large restaurant. Friday night was reasonably busy (but not full) and as such it took a while for each dish to come out. Food was nicely presented and generally tasty. My lemon lime & bitters was quite watery. Would return at a quite time.
Returned a year later on a Monday night, much quieter and quicker service. Food was very nice. Enjoyed the beef tataki.

Ladies Lunch group 27th February. This year were are trying international cuisine Japanese was the first choice.
Finding venues on a Saturday was difficult but the Crane was open.
All discussions with booking the venue was via messenger and responses were in a timely manner so no complaints there.
I had a group of 10 people who wanted teppanyaki at one BBQ plate. ..no problems
I picked the set menu chicken & beef $59 pp also included was soup, fried rice, salad, and rice wine. Good value
I also asked about the BYO option ($10 corkage) as their wine list is very small .,..unknown names and pricey.......no problem.
example for me $9 champers + $10 =$19 cheaper than their bottles.
Well.......... what a great time we had!!!!! Food delicious and plenty of it! Fantastic fun watching it being cooked. Our wines were served as needed. When lunch was over we asked to be moved upstairs away from BBQ area for more drinks and chatting ...no problem
Josh who was looking after us was just great ....nothing was too hard and he was friendly and funny. He made the day for us. My 1st time at teppanyaki was great fun and all the ladies enjoyed themselves
Go if you want a new experience. ......
Gem of Glenelg. A must visit restaurant.
Superp high quality fresh foods & service. Moderate pricing. Good ambient for all occasions with different sitting. Sushi bar, A la carte and Teppanyaki.
This restaurant is a s great place for the family and my friends to enjoy the delicious food. I highly recommend this restaurant to everybody in whole wide world (Adelaide)
We came in for a quick weeknight meal and were pleasantly surprised. Delicious teppanyaki - we had chicken and beef. Good service, meals came out quickly. Well priced and will certainly be back again.
What a top night. Having never experienced a Teppanyaki restaurant before I was unsure what was coming. We had the meat lovers banquet and I was delightfully surprised. The food was cooked and served with a flair I can only imagine is part of the experience but the staff were all super friendly and courteous. The food was cooked perfectly and was extremely tasty. The highlight for me was the wagyu steak and the chef trying to toss pieces of egg (wilfully) into our mouths from the hotplate. A tasty and entertaining place for a night out with friends. Highly recommended for a group night out.
I was having a vacation with my boyfriend at Glenelg and I felt like having some Japanese food. When we walked in there, we were fascinated with the decoration of the restaurant. The food is very delicious, I love the sushi very much and the service is excellent. I would like to come back for dinner to try for the ala cart menu!

If you don’t give a try!! You will never know the ambience and the authenticity of this restaurant. I have been to a lot of Japanese’s restaurants but none can be compared with this one. If you are on vacation and really want some good Japanese food then crane Japanese restaurant is the ideal spot for you. It is much closer to the beach compared to other restaurants in that locality and way more spacious. The décor is fascinating. The management has done a great job with timbers and black to give a modern feel rather than same old traditional Japanese taste. Moreover, it is a suitable spot to spend your Saturday night with friends and family.
The most important thing – staffs were really friendly and helpful. They might indulge you with too long a conversation which in my personal view is useless. All the staffs are cheerful and what I felt most that they pretty much love to be there.
Crane Japanese Restaurant offers shushis, Teppanyaki along with regular Japanese items. But these two are everyone’s favorite. This restaurant is made to be a one stop shop for these Japanese foods. They have the sushi train at the back; sit down dining area in the middle and Teppanyaki area at the front.
I had been to a lot of Japanese restaurants but eventually I thought of giving a try to this one. I was greeted with a charming staff who very politely asked me where I would like to sit. I choose the main dining are for deciding after they gave me the menu. I am a shushi fan, so thought of giving a try to see how it stands in comparison with its competitors. Result is as expected. It stands out really good and in my personal view it is the best one can offer in that price range.
Overall price was manageable, ambience was good, staffs were very cheerful and I would like to give this restaurant 4.5 out of 5 and I am looking forward to try other items as well.
Second visit. The train has shut down at moment so you order what you want. Quality of food and presentation is lovely. Quiet at lunch when we've been but imagine in summer that would change. Can book which is great. Love it.
Stuff is very polite. Always wear smile make me very comfortable. But their voices is not loud, probably they are a little bit shy haha. The environment is Japanese style,quiet and with Japanese music. I order sushi. The presentation is amazing.
I've just arrived with my boyfriend in adelaide from Sydney and we had a dinner at the crane. Just one word: AMAZING! Staff was lovely, really quick service, good price and lots of variety sushi and sashimi. Highly recommend!
The restaurant has the one of the best sushis we've ever eaten. Japanese sake was great as well. Strongly recommended to everyone who enjoys great food in a lovely authentic restaurant like this.
Beautifuuly cooked fresh meal! Duck was delicious and bugs were even better! Feel so sorry for Jetty Road businesses ATM with all the roadworks - go try The Crane!
