Authentic Japanese restaurant
😐 The map says 'top rated' I think it should read 'over rated'. Looks like they aim at Michelin style with small complex dishes, but the quality just doesn't match. However, they only have a choice of two set menus with Michelin style prices, one at $140pp and the other at $190pp. The only difference...

👍 Great new Japanese restaurant in Newcastle CBD. Given the sparse offers in Newcastle it's good to see someone coming up. The place offers a very wide range of the usual Japanese fare. You've got ramen, donburis, curry and Tonkatsu (That's pork katsu. Most places do chicken katsus, and this is a rar...
