Teppan-Ya

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Such a fantastic place for a cheap Japanese dinner, with the hosts being very nice and accommodating. So cheap and fast food which is so much better value than your chain store's. I hope it takes off because the owners were so lovely. $9 special is so good for a meal, its unheard of around carnegie!...

Tokui Sushi

👍👍 I laugh when I see the prices (and portions) of other sushi places! Tokui Sushi is super affordable (currently $2.50 a roll), incredibly tasty and the woman who has served me each time I've visited is really courteous and polite. Could not recommended enough!

Ton & Co

Restaurant

👍👍 9 trips to Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu and Kyushu) and definately the best kaki fry (oysters) I have ever had in my life. The oysters are still juicy and the breading is the perfect texture. Also the potato salad and the cabbage are divine, the cabbage tastes exactly like all the best in Japan. I love...

Cafe Carpenter

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 If you’re looking for an authentic Japanese + Korean experience and cuisine, then this is it. The menu is varied and the cooking absolutely spot on. Humble and heart warming. Think of it as chicken soup for the soup. Vibrant atmosphere during peak times but there are lone diners who come here later...

👍👍 Wow! So delicious and incredible friendly service. I had tacos and ramen with a cheeky sake. I can't even do justice with a description on both... especially the spicy prawn tacos.

Iroli Japanese Takeaway

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 From the first bite of the tempura, I know this is a true Japanese Shokudo (restaurant). The bento is yummy. The taste reminds me the Japanese home kitchen I used to have in Japan and Hong Kong. I'd definitely come again when I visit Malvern next time.
