Great food, value, and friendly service. As the restaurant is on the smaller side, the draft coming from outside through a very noisy door and air conditioning could really improve the atmosphere. Will be coming back for the set menu and okonomiyaki!
Overall not a bad feed. Quick service and reasonably fresh. The only poor dish was the Miso Soup which was a bit watery and didn’t contain any nori or much else.
Nice very light Udon with nice prawn and veggie tempura mix. Not the best soup base but sure did the job. Eggplant with miso also very tasty. Ordered the chicken teppanaki which was nice but the dipping sauce was a vinegar overload
Service was impeccable. Look forward to returning and trying the sushi.
AMAZING!! Exceptional service and great food. We ordered the $25 set menu and walked out with very content full bellies. The food came out promptly and was fresh and well presented. Staff were lovely.
Tofu salad was yummy. Ordered the set b menu. My meal was quite good and authentic. My friend ordered some sushi rolls but the rice was falling apart, aside from that the food was yummy and there was a good variety on the menu and service excellent.
As a part of Friday lunch out custom I went there with my colleagues. It was a small restaurant on Norton Street serving authentic Japanese food. They have various lunch box option apart from Ala Carte.
We ordered Ramen, Veg Donburi, Yaki Udon and Sushi.
As I was trying Japanese food for the First time, and It was surprisingly Yummyyyyy :)
Staff there is also very friendly and Cooperative.
Really love this place.
Ive visited rakuen a number of time with different people and not any problems at all. The food is good quality served fast with decent service. Id happily recommend Rakuen any time.
Great little spot on Norton St for some yummy Japanese! Good prices and good food. The bbq beef udon is amazing and the sushi is always good! Just avoid sitting outside at sundown when hundreds of birds in the trees outside make it impossible to hear 😋

I went here with my sister for lunch ! I was craving sashimi and these guys didn't disappoint ! The service was fantastic ! My sister doesn't like to eat noodles and she asked if they could leave that out of her dish and the staff immediately said yes, we really love a place that is flexible and on point and these guys are definitely just that ! I would come back here again ! And just so you know it's BYO ! ^_^
Almost as lovely, in fact, as the bill, which without tempting the owners into raising prices, was very affordable indeed. If they were to change anything, the Prick would like to see Higashi get a beer and wine license: the green tea was lovely, but as summer approaches a cool glass of otokoyama would be lovelier. One hopes the authorities responsible don’t knock them back for fear of over-served patrons masu-ing one another.
The host really makes the restaurant. He's happy, lively, constantly fills the air (ear) with Japanese phrases and courtesies. A few mis-heard orders were easily forgiven with such a jovial character in charge. The presentation is beautiful, with really lovely crockery. And the restaurant has nice decor. Disposable chopsticks in paper wrappers unfortunately detract a little from an otherwise classy appearance. The food was good, too. Reliable, with some standout favourites -- sashimi, tofu teriyaki and udon. It's BYO, which keeps the price down a little.
Really nice food, gyoza soft shell crab and sushi/sashimi combo great and fresh, teriyaki chicken even better sauce rich and sticky! Will be back
Absolutely amazing every time. Higashi is by far one of my favourite sushi restaurants. The service is always great, the food is delicious, fresh and always leaves us wanting more. It is reasonably priced, the quality is high and the portions are big. I visit this place once a week and always look forward to it. Amazing!
Have never had a less than perfect experience here! The staff are absolutely lovely, the food is is presented beautifully and is always fresh and delicious. Highly recommend! The kind of place you WANT to tip!
Service is amazing. Food is made to order. Feast for the senses! Nothing negative to comment on at all.
Perfect. Everything was perfect, food, service and price. Highly recommended
Really enjoyed my lunch at Rakuen Sushi. The quality of the meals was very high. The speed and attentive service was equally welcome.
A lovely small Japanese eatery with a wide range of menu options and friendly attentive service. Most of the dishes were delicious including the various sushi dishes, ramen noodle soup and bibimbap. The fried items are excellent and worth indulging in - the tempura were cispy and light, wonderful with the ponzu dipping sauce. The karaage chicken was also crispy & perfect with drinks/beer as was the chicken katsu. The gyoza was very tasty, however the yakitori and teriyaki dishes were not as authentic or enjoyable as I'd like. Both types of dishes were way too salty, had way too much sauce & in the salmon don it was drowned in sauce. Also we were charged $1 extra for each dish's standard white rice accompaniment which I only noticed after we had left looking at the bill which I found a little strange & was unexplained. A concise drinks list at reasonable prices. Overall an enjoyable experience.
Ordered last night and have to say that the service both over the phone and face to face, when picking up, was warm and friendly. The Sushi /sashimi was delicious and everything I hoped for. My daughter had two serves of baby rolls and a green salad and was very happy. Thank you!!!
A Great Sushi Spot with cold beer (Asahi) Friendly Service, fast food prep and a nice open atmosphere. Highly Recommended 👍👍👍
Food was tasty, liked the bento combos. Service could be a bit better and prices should be lowered a bit too.
For $24 of set menu, you will get bot an ordinary bento but you will get a main dish, a plate of sashimi and sushi, a bowl of rice, a bowl of salad and a plate of tempura. Fresh ingredients, friendly service, I am definitely going back there.
This place serves good Japanese food. Good lunch deals. The sushi’s are nice but a bit to big a piece. The staff are super friendly and kind. We went for lunch and it sufficed us. Great miso soup
