Leaf Japanese Restaurant & Bar
Authentic Japanese restaurant
👍👍 We had mushroom gyozas, tempura miso eggplant & agedashi tofu to share. All the dishes were amazing, gyozas were crispy one side just as they should be. The light, crispy coating on the tofu and broth of the agedashi dish were absolutely delicious. The tempura eggplant had lovely texture and taste t...

Midori Japanese Takeaway
Sushi takeaway
👍👍 In my opinion best authentic proper Japanese sushi and dishes. Sushi is made right on the spot in front of you and the ingredients are always the freshest. For $3plus it's worth it as the rice is full is of flavour. Vinger not too overwhelming all flavours are on point

😐 Frankly im quite disappointed with the quality of food as i had pretty high expectations after seeing previous reviews. The pork tonkatsu is lukewarm, dry and hard and missing the mark of just a little undercooked to maintain the juiciness and soft texture. The miso soup was lukewarm. Everything e...
