Sushi Bell

Sushi takeaway

👍👍 I never expected to find a wonderful sushi shop near a YHA in Canberra. What a find just before I headed to the Airport by bus. The ingredients are fresh, price reasonable, all the choices look appetising. I don't usually give 5 stars, but they deserve it.

Canteen

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 I had the dan dan scotch egg which was exceptional and the shoyu ramen. The noodles are different, taste like rye noodles and they grew on me, perfect texture. The ramen was great, good portion size and flavour. The pork belly is a must add. Price may seem higher but you get value for it. Would defi...

Inari Canberra Centre

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 I recently had the pleasure of dining at Inari. I must take a moment to highlight the exceptional service provided by Waitress Sicilia.

Hachiko Japanese Fusion Resturant

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 We had such a delicious meal at Hachiko! The food was absolutely divine and servings were generous. We ordered way too much food, and I'm also glad that we did!

Ramen O Belconnen

Ramen restaurant

👍 Came here with the gf for lunch and had the Deluxe Yuzu Tonkotsu Ramen and Deluxe Spicy Ramen. The service was great, portion was decent for the price in Canberra. The char ciu pork were excellent.

Raijin

Japanese restaurant

👍 Cute little restaurant in a suburban block with lovely friendly staff. They managed to squeeze us in without a booking, which was so nice of them. They have a vegan menu, just ask. The Katsu Tofu was amazing.

KOTO Restaurant

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Nestled just opposite the old Parliament House, Koto provides an alluring blend of tradition and modernity. As I approached, the exterior was adorned with captivating lights that illuminated a serene Japanese garden. While the entrance door had its charm, it felt slightly less inviting. Upon enteri...

OMI Canberra

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Authentic Japanese cuisine, super tasty and fresh. Reasonable prices, especially considering the large portion sizes. Quite friendly staff even when they are very busy. There was a queue out the door, so we suggest booking, or getting there prior to the dinner rush.

Kan Sushi & Poke

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 My favourite spot for casual sushi in Canberra! It’s a tiny hole in the wall store a short walkable distance from the Canberra Centre. Super fresh sashimi, huge sushi rolls, and delicious poke bowls. My fave is the grilled salmon. Definitely recommend!

Maji Japanese Cuisine

Japanese restaurant

😐 Decent food, but definitely over-priced. After passing by the restaurant a few times, we decided to give it a go. The food was not exquisite but still good (sushi, sashimi, and nigiri were good, sukiyaki was a bit too salty, unadon was a bit dry, and the ice cream was excellent). We had three peop...

Sushi Fresh

Sushi takeaway

👍👍 Excellent food, great atmosphere and lovely staff. The ramen katsu was crispy (the chicken) and the noodles firm but juicy, with a great flavoursome soup base. The unagi sushi made to order was lovely and sweet, and not too big. Hadn't expected a placed tucked into the back of Fyshwick to be so good...

Tokyo Canteen

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Casual Japanese cafe for lunch! Food was fresh and really delicious. We ordered the Okonomiyaki and Teriyaki salmon with rice. The Okonomiyaki was scrumptious, crispy, hearty and not oily at all. I was surprised to find soba noodles in it. This is a very filling meal. We also ordered the Momo tea w...
