I got a takeaway strawberry shortcake and a hojicha tart. I understand the desserts are made in house. They were beautifully presented and were delicious. The strawberry shortcake was light and had just the perfect amount of sweetness from the cream and tartness from the fresh strawberries. The hojicha tart had a balanced hojicha tea flavour and was lovely and chocolatey too. I am so impressed. Service was friendly. I will be back to try other dishes and desserts.
Have been eating for the past few years and it is still the best Jap restaurant in South East Suburb. King fish, Swiss roll cake and crepe cake is a must try. Very well organised and family orientated place, splendid.
Visit this place many times and always great service. The meals has great quality of food no matter how many I visit to get something to eat.
Staple dining with great friendly service
Amazing authentic sushi and bento boxes
Cakes are nice but a bit overpriced
One of the most authentic Japanese restaurants run by a lovely family!
Ordered wagyu bento box and wagyu sushi for takeaway. Prices itself are not cheap, but so cheap considering the wagyu is directly imported from Japan and is top prize winning beef. It will cost so much more elsewhere. Aburi wagyu sushi was to die for as well. I usually order grilled fish bento or chirashi, but I’ll have to go back for wagyu again very soon.
Great Japanese spot - perhaps one of the best in Melbourne! The food service can take quite a while, but it is all prepared fresh. Recommend going with a larger group and getting the large platters and lots of dishes to sample. Friendly service, good selection of Japanese beers and love the Matcha Green Tea ice cream to finish up!
Murasaki is a hidden restaurant in Studfield shopping strip. The panko oysters were fresh and in a crispy shell. The salmon ikura don was delicious. The only downside was the preparation time for sashimi, in excess of 40 mimutes. Apart from that, would definitely return.
Whilst the level of table service was quite poor, the katsu curry rice was one of the most flavourful that we've had anywhere, with lovely crispy bits of chicken. Would come here again just for that
This is a nice little suburban Japanese restaurant that serves up reasonably authentic fare at fair prices.
It's crucial that bookings are made on the weekend to avoid disappointment. We had a variety of dishes. Their sashimi and sushi were freshly made and presented beautifully. You could see and taste the care that was put into the preparation of each individual morsel of goodness.
The spicy chicken ribs were delicious but not very spicy at all.
The egg custard was very nice as well - it was creamy and rated highly on the umami scale. This one needed to be pre ordered.
Service was good and overall, we had a lovely time here.
Been here many times and the food is always great. The wait time for the fresh fish is around 45min-1hour in busy periods. Seems like priority is given to takeaway orders instead of those dining in. Perhaps that is my perception or perhaps it was the waiter of the night apologising on behalf of the takeaway customers. For that reason, it’s a 4 stars from me.
Probably the best affordable Japanese restaurant in the area. My personal go-to spot for Japanese food cravings. Sushi and sashimi is extremely fresh, and the amount of fish is very generous. I would also recommend trying the udon, which has a broth which is probably one of the best I've ever tasted. All other dishes are very satisfying and I am yet to be disappointed.
Authentic Japanese cuisines with the loveliest staff. The place is quite busy so best to book ahead of time. The katsu bento is so well made with crisp katsu and tender chicken. The sashimi is cut fresh and delicious.
A simple and unassuming restaurant in the Melbourne’s outer east, this Japanese restaurant delivers premium quality and tasting food at affordable prices. I ordered the eggplant, takoyaki, oyster tempura, chicken karage, agedeshi tofu, sushi and sashimi platter, ramen and udon. All of it was top quality and you’d pay half of what you’d expect in the city.
Incredibly fresh sushi, traditional and enormously generous for the price. A must try for sushi lovers. They were very busy and we were told there would be a wait for sushi and it was well worth it. Excellent service as well! Everything we had including the matcha latte and ramen were delicious.
Consistently one of the best and most authentic Japanese restaurants in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne. We’ve come here again and again and every single time we leave so satisfied with our food. The sashimi is always so fresh and melts in your mouth... the karage chicken is always fried perfectly... and the dessert is home made and so delicious. The experience of eating here really brings us back to Japan, can’t think of a higher review to give! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Good quality of traditional Japanese food! Probably one of the best for this price range.
However the waitress was too busy and was not able to properly serve the customers sitting on the outside tables

📝: Got these delicious treats from my friend. How amazing do these look? I’m a big fan of Japanese dessert, especially anything chestnut or pumpkin.
❤️: My favorite was the Chestnut Tart. The perfect amount of sweetness, the chestnut paste so tasty and full of flavor. The Strawberry daifuku was also so soft and creamy. Just the right texture!
