15 years and still great. A meal here always brighten up my day while keeping my wallet from breaking during uni. Had it when it was close to Melbourne Central. Now it’s closer to Melbourne University, still brings back good memories. Generous portion, warm/fast service and great food at a reasonable price. They’re not stingy about the meat portion, just look at the video. The environment is nice, in the cold windy day the place is warm and very clean for how busy they are. Highly recommend.

Absolutely love how they grilled the chicken - it's tender and juicy. My go-to is the teriyaki chicken don, delicious and such a good price in this economy!

Huge portions for a low price. The quality/taste to price per meal ratio already makes it worth it. Got a big bowl of Chicken Curry Don, delicious, filled me up completely, and only $13.50. Can’t get cheap eats like that anymore these days. (Aug 2025)

Really good for value! It’s so rare nowadays to see meals with price ranging from $11.90-13.90! We ordered Pork Katsu curry don, Sukiyaki don, Niku udon and spring rolls. The dishes are so generously portioned, so much meat and the bowls are deeper than we expected! Spring rolls costs $4.80 for 10 which is a really good price when you just want some snacks. Atmosphere is ok. I feel it could be cleaner. The seats’ PU leather are disintegrating and quite stained and the chandelier above us was quite dusty.

This restaurant offers Japanese roce bowls at very affordable prices (the cheapest dish is only 12.9 AUD!). They’re a bit different from traditional Japanese donburi, but I think they’re well adapted to Australian tastes, and definitely nice. Its atmosphere is stylish.

My new favourite Japanese spot. Generous portions, super fresh, and amazingly quick service. The vibe is great, the staff are lovely, and the food is ridiculously cheap for the quality. I’ll definitely be back. We had the grilled chicken curry don and the salmon sashimi don – both delicious.

This place brings back so many memories. It's been around for like 15-20 years? So pleased to see that the food was still good and layout looks exactly what it was before! Decor and ambience were exactly how they were when they first opened.
