"Great prompt service during a busy lunch time rush. Friendly staff and the meals ordered from the menu are served promptly and to notify you when the meal is ready you are provided a buzzer (so you can comfortably wait at your table whilst it is prepared). There is an extensive range of items in the bain-marie to choose from and of course you can order from the menu. Prices are slightly expensive but the food is fresh and tasty. There is eftpos available and payWave. There is plenty of seating in the central food court area, even when busy, and the tables are clean. The venue has great access from Collins Street, even for wheelchairs."

"I haven’t tried Japanese katsudon before, but the flavor is very good, combining both sweet and salty elements, all while retaining a distinct Japanese style. I would definitely recommend it."
