👍👍 Although it was hidden we were very happy to find this cute restaurant! They had so many options for such good prices! They had some creative gyozas which I hope to try more of! And of course the staff were very lovely.

Korean restaurant
🫤 I have been to this place multiple times but today is one of those bad experiences. Firstly, we were waiting for a long time to be given a table. Then the waiter won't take our order so we must use our phones to order. To top it up, the steamed egg we ordered tasted and looked completely burnt....

😠 Lovely service staff welcoming you into the restaurant. It was a busy nice atmosphere. However all downhill after. I ordered the salmon teriyaki meal for dinner which was $27. I thought it would be a normal sized piece of salmon for this price but instead I was given a 0.5cm flattened very small pi...

😠 As a Japanese, I’ve been to many izakayas in Japan and Australia, so here’s my honest review. We dined here Boxing Day dinner (3 pax), seated outside. As we walked through the indoors area, I noticed it had good atmosphere, however, the outside seating had the shopping centre food court vibe, as it...

Robata Japanese Grill Melbourne

👍 Pricey given the portion size. We left the place with empty wallets and hungry stomachs. Definitely not worth the money considering the ingredients used, but for the taste it’s a nice experience. Personally, I loved the steak and white fish ( incredibly creamy).
