Thrilled to find a no-fuss, authentic Japanese sushi bar. The fish is fresh, well prepared with sushi rice done well. You can tell the elderly husband and wife team take pride in what they do. The friendly and warm service they deliver really is the cherry on top

Absolutely delicious and quality ingredients. We got the no. 8 and was particularly impressed by how fresh and tasty it was. Would definitely come back again to try their other sushi!

Fresh ingredients, carefully prepared right in front of you; a guaranteed win run by a wholesome Japanese couple. It's cash only though so you have to be prepared for that!

I am a Japanese that recently moved from the South East side of Melbourne to nearby area. Nice little sushi bar run by Japanese couple. My first time here and I will keep coming back!

My favourite takeaway sushi shop! Cleanly prepared and really fresh, authentic nigiri, sashimi and maki/hand rolls. I will definitely be coming back again and again. Would 100% recommend it, particularly if you live around the Ivanhoe area.

They are the tastiest, freshest sushi around Ivanhoe. The Japanese couple is ultra-cute and polite. Only bad thing is it's cash only and you have to wait about 10 min to pick up your food (cos it's made on the spot)

Lovely place with traditional sushi run by an elderly Japanese couple. Incredibly friendly, lovely service and delicious food. Have options more available for a western palate and always ask about wasabi (for those who can’t handle it).

They catered my aunty’s 60th birthday. Easy pick up. The sush was delish. Great serving sizes and variety. Generous servings of salmon for each sushi. Also provided plenty of soy sauce for the event.

This is my new favourite sushi place in Melbourne. If you compare their prices, I think they are very reasonable and bang for your buck. I highly recommend calling up a few hours beforehand. If you’re driving in like I did, park on Upper Heidelberg Rd, outside the newsagency. The amount of variety I got in my small nigiri party platter is impressive. The tamagoyaki had a subtle sweetness, I’m generally not a big fan but this won me over. The unagi was well seasoned with tare sauce. The portions were generous. Run by a husband and wife team.

The best sushi in town. I remember coming here when I was smaller and again recently and it's still the best authentic Japanese sushi I've ever had. Brings me back to Japan.

This is seriously the most amazing food establishment I have ever come across in my life. The energy of the staff will make anyones day better. The 15 second interaction of 2 hello’s and 4 thank you’s will glue a smile on your face for the next hour. The quality and cleanliness of the fish is top shelf. This is as good a quality sashimi as I have found anywhere in the world with a price that has been seemingly untouched by inflation. This place is a consumers dream. I’ve loved every lunch I’ve ever gotten from there.

Tried to feel more of Tokyo Olympic by getting local sushi. As fresh as it gets. Ordered this 42pcs platter ($55) over the phone and told to be picked up in hour time. Coles just near by so time easy spend. The wait is totally worth it sushi rice has just right amount of vingear, plus it can choose to put wasabi with the nigiri (of course I would). Platter is well present. Owner is kind enough to tell me they use blue fin tuna today. Though I'm not the expert of it but sure it tastes fresh. Just park at the coles or there are few parking spots right outside the shop. Oishii !

Love this local place where a Japanese couple make the best no frills nigiris. We order their medium platter every other week as a treat, the fish is always fresh, the tamago nigiris, the unagi is delicious are so tasty and delicious. Never been a fan of prawn nigiris normally, but this place has changed my mind, it's so fresh and plump, I it's become one of my favourites on the platter. The sushi rice is on point and slightly warm because we order in advance for pickup later, we really appreciate how it's made just before pickup, so fresh and slightly warm. It the highlight of our week! Thank you for being so consistently delicious! Might just make an order again tonight!

Owners are absolutely friendly and lovely, but taste and quality of sushis and sashimis are just okay 🧐 Overall still better than those franchise sushi shops!
