Great lunch spot, good food all cooked well and delicious. Friendly and quick service too but there are some big tables too for long lunches. I’ll keep coming back.
This has officially replaced Samurai as my second go to Japanese place for lunch in Hawthorn.
I love their chicken katsu and it's pretty much all I ever order because I hate being disappointed during my happy lunch hour.
I've heard good things about their sushi and bento boxes but have never tried any.
It's a really small shop so there's not much to talk about in terms of ambiance.
Food can come out a little slow when they're packed at lunch.
The food here was nice but nothing special. Sashimi was nice，but the katsu curry we had was a bit bland. Probably would go somewhere else in Hawthorn for my Japanese fix.
We love this place and have been coming here for take away for over ten years. Great value for money. Always fresh and tasty. The salad don is our favourite. Gyoza, agadeshi tofu and miso soup also always good. Friendly service. We think you should consider joining uber eats though! Save us the drive :)
Thanks for always providing yummy food.
We've visited Sushi House Ben-K a number of times now when we want a nice, cheap fix of Japanese. On the outside the place looks small and you can easily walk by it. But there are quite a few tables inside. The menu is probably more targeted towards students given the prices.
The main dish we go for is the Salmon Don. The salmon tastes super fatty and we easily gobble it up with the vinegar rice. Not to be mistaken with the salmon that comes out when you order salmon sashimi because they seem to use a different cut of salmon for that. We discovered that when we loved the salmon in the Salmon Don so much and we tried to order a plate of it. The other dishes however are pretty ordinary and there's not much to say about them. So if you decide to visit I recommend the Salmon Don.

More than just a Sushi house ....
There are other dishes on offer apart from Sushi, quick lunch meals; gyozas, curries, dons, tempura and the usual suspect, all great value.
Not much in set up, but that's not why I'm here.
Ordered a hand roll and a set of makimono to take away. Top notch sushi rice, disappointed that the salmon hand roll had minimal salmon in it, but otherwise it was quality sushi. Would visit again when in the area.
Sushi House: Ben K has been known to sell their food at the Japanese festivals and they looked really good. So I thought that I would try this cheap student eat I had an assignment in Hawthorn for Mystery Shopper and I thought that I would come by. The place is run down and looked a little bit dirty on the outside. But it was warm and welcoming on the inside. Here the service was not too bad. There were more caucasians than Japanese and the waitress spoke in Chinese.
It's a tidy and friendly place to go, came for sashimi and bento dinner set, also ordered several sides which were really cheap! But I was so hungry, forgot to took photos! Surprised this place was so valued , will come back again!
I have enjoyed take away here a few times now. The Japanese fried chicken is incredible! Moist, crispy and succulent. Along with the teriyaki salmon and pork ginger. All menu items are very reasonably priced. I'm surprise I don't see this place full more regularly. Support the small/ local businesses and get into it!
This is one of the best places to try Japanese food. The bento boxes which they have is so authentic and it tasted so close to what I had for two years in Japan. Besides, the price is low for the quality food items they provide and it is filling. I had also tried okonomiaki, the signature dish of Osaka and it is very tasty. I have been visiting the restaurant almost twice every week.
This is an excellent restaurant. The only reason it is so small is probably because it is not on Glenferrie road. The service is excellent, so is the food. The pricing is what I would describe as fair given the portions that are offered, it is not extraordinary, but definitely not bad. You eat comfortably with around 11 dollars. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anybody, my experience was excellent.
The price to quality of food just can't be beat. We loved the spicy prawn hand roll so much that we ordered another two. Everything was expertly prepared and served quickly. The room isn’t anything special but it doesn’t matter, you’ll be too focused on the food to notice.
Really love the sashimi here. But the weather is so cold so these days I usually come for the fried dumplings and the ramen... Great comfort after one day's hard work 😆
Great sushi with fresh ingredients. Have sampled many of the other menu items, all of which did not disappoint.
