We enjoyed the omakase and had a lot to eat. The food was good and the service was great. The boss himself offered us a glass of cognac which we politely turned down as we don’t drink but we appreciated the hospitality.
Food are quite nice and the serving size is generous.
We had the sushi platter, california roll (surprisingly it used salmon rather than prawn), grilled eggplant, tempura platter, beef udon and grilled white fish.
The only comment is for the grilled fish with miso as it was too salty.
We ordered the eight course okamase for $88 per head and j have to say it is sooo worth the money! Definitely enjoyed every course especially the sashimi, and sushi. Loved the dessert too, will visit again.
Fresh and huge variery of sashimi.... i was very full...tou don't need to order the banquet... jist order what you want to eat will probably cost the same... just ask the chef behind the bar whats special today...
Great dinner on Mother's Day. My wife and I invited our mums to Ibuki House last night. We had the famous omakase banquet. The meal was great with both the presentation and the taste at very high standard. We really love the whole ten course experience. Service was not bad given the restaurant was packed. There's not many authentic Japanese restaurants around nowadays. I would highly recommend this one!
Good place to go. Delicious food with reasonable price, it is the traditional Japanese cuisine as I had before. I tried their pre-booking banquet with friends, all of us felt so full and satisfy, fishes + lobster sashimi platter are fresh and fanatic, seafood soup is tasty, we real love it. But service need to be improved. Highly recommend.
Yum. Traditional and delicious !!
Good one and Love it. Terrific. Fourth times visit and real love the 10 courses Omakese banquet. We feel so full and satisfy. Service and food are outstanding.
Awesome. We went for 10 courses Banquet, delicious dishes we had and feel satisfy after all. Recommend.
Highly Recommend. We went for dinner with Groupon voucher. Not bad, traditional Japanese cuisine. Worthily value, 6 dishes with warm sake. The portion and taste of sushi, sashimi, main course are excellent plus friendly service.
Will come back.
Simon. All the Sea food we eat is Yumm... such a nice place to dine..
Well Decorated and presentable...
Simply the best Japanese.
We had 10 course meal I love every little bit of it and service were good
Like it. My friends and I went for dinner, this is our first time to visit here. Omakase lite (3 dishes+dessert) is recommended, we also ordered some extra dishes including abalone su, minced sashimi and hotpot, the hotpot is impress but abalone su is bland. Enthusiastic service is provided, most of foods are delicious. Unfortunately, 10 courses banquet need to be booked 1 day in advance, it seems so attractively, we may try it next time.
Love love Ibuki. The food is outstanding and never disappoints.
Love this one!. Heard a lot of good things about this restaurant from friends, but never had the chance until last Saturday. And I must say, WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!! I WILL BE BACK!! Food is freshly prepared on the spot by the chef (the famous Mr Ibuki himself?) at the front sushi bar. Service is spot on with a nice waitress explaining each dish for me as I asked her a LOT of questions. The presentation and the amount of seafood is amazing!! I never had so much great dishes in one night, one after another before I lost count. But unfortunately, like the three friends that came with me, I didn't manage to finish all the courses. Apparently, they have a "Lite" option for the Banquet which comes with less dishes and cost less. I will give that a try next time. Overall, I will definitely recommend this one to anyone who loves fresh authentic Japanese food. Btw. I love the music there too, very old-fashioned. :)
I love this restaurant, so fresh, and it feel it's under charged for its value, so much food, will def come back again!
Food was delicious & the fish was really fresh.
Great food and lobster was the best that I ever had. Sashimi was and tempura were really fresh . 3 of us went there and there were too much food .such a waste . Highly recommended.
Mr ibuki is a very good host and myself and my partner felt very happy with the abundance and quality of the food throughout the night.looking forward to introducing friends to this great little hidden gem
Amazing, fresh, delicious, beautiful.... I went to Ibuki just before Christmas and loved it!! Nice change from a big over crowded restaurants, it's small and cosy, feels like home and taste like heaven!! Going again next week- can't resist.....

I visited Ibuki House last month with a group of friends after hearing positive reviews. It's a unique way of dining in his intimate and friendly restaurant and as you first sit down you feel you're about to experience something special. You feel more like a house guest than a patron. Now to the food.
I have enjoyed Ibuki's omakase menus before some years ago, but in his restaurant on Lonsdale street. It was good to return to see if he was still putting out fresh & creative dishes. I wasn't disappointed. The well presented sashimi Snapper platter was fresh and delightful. His tempura vegetables were done well and one of the big surprises of the night was the tempura parsley, still fresh and green but simply dissolved in the mouth. Delicious. The Wagyu, charcoal grilled at the table was a highlight as were the Pigs trotters with asparagus wrapped in beef! The Scallop Mornay with bacon and saffron was a surprise and was ok too, if not a little salty. Being convincingly stuffed by the end of the night, the fresh fruit and ice cream was still a nice finish.
I think it was around $80 a head. Considering the multiple courses, unique and friendly atmosphere (we never felt rushed or urged to finish up and go) I think it's very reasonable and a perfect place to go with a group. I will definitely be back again to experience one of the hidden gems we have here in Melbourne. I say go while you can before its gone forever. There's nothing else like it here!

What's really cool is that this restaurant is actually served by a Japanese chef in his own home! Also, it's an omakase concept (i.e. chef given free-reign to design the menu) worth usually around $60-80 per person, which is NOT BAD AT ALL, as you will later see what we were actually served.
I love the food in Ibuki. Especially for the sashimi, it was so fresh and ice cream was so delicious. I would love to come back for the ice cream :)
Good food, great service! We had a great course with reasonable price. Chef is very interesting person.
Loved this place. Nice shop and the owner is very polite and nice. Great food and good service! Prob one of the most authentic Japanese Resturant in Melbourne.
Authentic Japanese food tastes exactly like Japanese food.
Sashimi by far has the most variety I've ever had... they have the typical hot jap food...the waitresses were very attentative.
