    One of the worst soups I have ever had. Actually, change that. It WAS the worst soups I ever had. It was meant to be seafood noodle soup and yes it did have seafood in thier, but it tasted like she just poured hot water over it all and then served it. I had about 4 spoonfuls of it and then had to push it a side and buy something else. Even though I had not eaten all day and was very hungry I simply could not eat it, that was how bad it was. I did have a sushi roll and some sashimi and both were nice, so I am not saying don't go there, as they do some nice food there. But whatever you do, don't order the seafood soup. There was someone asleep on the tables at the back of the store, so the only thing I can think of was that maybe he was the chef, as I did go there around 3pm, so maybe he was having a sleep during the break and she didn't want to wake him up to ask him to cook for me. But if that is the case, she would have been better off saying, something like, "sorry but I can't cook, you can only have what is already made and on display in the cabinet" or something like that. It has been a week since I have been there and I have been holding off doing this review, but I still feel sick just thinking of how bad that soup was, so I thought I really have to warn everyone else.

    Don't let the name fools you. It is a Cafe, but they have quality food that match good restaurants at an affordable price.

    Fantastic, cheap AND delicious Japanese cuisine in the burbs. Definately worth a visit. Their traditional soups, stews and noodle dishes are as good as their fresh sushi and sashimi. A regular for all members of our family.

    I had the seafood combo Bento Box and it's worth way more than $18.8 3 small Springs rolls are freshly made and crispy. 3 small California sushi made with high quality roasted seaweed sheet. Fresh green salad with right touch of dressing. Prawn with tail, squid are really fresh and wok tossed with crunchy broccoli, mushrooms & onions with good quality teriyaki sauce. Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Ron R. 3 years ago on Google
    The Family and I are unashamedly Sushi and Sashimi tragics. Owen, Helen and the Team draw upon the freshest of ingredients to produce tasty and exquisitely refined Japanese cuisine. The Menu caters for all including vegetarian and pricing is fare. We highly recommend the Bento Sets and the Sushi, Sashimi and Handroll options are always enjoyed. Under the current covid19 restrictions dinning in is available. We regularly call in our order for pickup. Please be patient with your order as demand during peak times can be high. We are happy to wait a little for good food.

    The service here is always good. Pros: I love their for handrolls and sashimi. My family loves the bento options. Cons: The curries are consistently dry. Add more sauce, don't be stingy Ogawa!
