At the time of writing my review there were already 238 reviews with an average score of 4.8. I was somewhat skeptical that this score was achievable for that many reviews. But, I'm happy to say that the reviews seem to be accurate. Food: Obviously I couldn't try everything on the menu. We ordered three dishes. A wagyu beef Udon soup dish, a frice rice dish with wagyu beef, prawns and truffle, and agedashi tofu. Each dish was excellent. In order of excellence, Udon soup, tofu then Fried rice. The Fried rice was more like a main than a dish for a single person. Tasted great, but maybe if it was intended for a single person then should have some side dish elements to it. On the menu it doesn't specify 'main to share', so a bit confusing. Mock tail was nice, and they use glass bottles for the coke which is cool. Atmosphere: fish tank is a nice touch, inside is nicely decorated, I appreciated the anime references. The feature is the lake view. Slightly smaller than I imagined, but made it feel intimate and good for dates. Service: waitress very response and nice. No complaints. Price: maybe most would think it's expensive, but for they're offering I think it's about right. Not something most can afford regularly I imagine, but nice for once in a while. Although I was skeptical at first, I'm happy to agree that this place is 5/5.

Delicious food and wonderful staff. We will keep going back.

The whole experience food, service was just amazing. The attention to detail and presentation on all dishes were 💯 Prices were up there, but well worth it. Food was fresh and flavoursome.

Scallop truffle sashimi was my favourite. Toothfish was rich and delicious. Nice view outside. A good night it was.

Good food, loved the oysters and the curry with the bread 🤤. Friendly fast service

So happy to have discovered this local gem! Hard to find a great Japanese restaurant out in the West but Izakaya Rin has definitely been outstanding! Ordered the: * Scallop Truffle * Sushi, Sashimi & Maki Omakase * Kaki Fry * Wagyu Truffle Fried Rice * Lychee Shochu Highball Can confidently say that everything tasted amazing! The sushi & sashimi were so fresh and the truffle dishes had a lovely truffle aroma. 🤩 Personally was not the biggest fan of the drink though as I expected something that was slightly sweeter but the lychee flavour was yummy.

I adore this restaurant . The atmosphere is perfect, the food is fresh with the most beautiful presentation and the staff are always warm and welcoming. A real gem in Caroline springs. I drive half an hour to visit this restaurant. 11/10! Can recommend everything.

The food was phenomenal, I can’t stop thinking about how yummy it was, we will definitely go back again. Service was nice and so was the atmosphere.

Nice location next to the lake for sunny day. The beef carpaccio & Kingfish carpaccio both were very tasty. Sushi are pretty good. I had nice dine experience. Only a thing I like to suggest is , they don’t offer green tea with tea pots. We like to have green tea in a pot.
