Hidden gem. Run by a Japanese crew. Staff were lovely and attentive. Food was authentic. Everything was fresh and tasty. Fish and chips were very unique. Small and cozy place so book early.

Fantastic atmosphere, loving the choice of music. We found ourselves grooving along to it many time lol. The staff are just great, fun, attentive and constantly smiling. The food was good when compared to the pricing which was reasonable. Loved the hot pot and must say the sashimi hit the spot. A great venue to go to for an affordable Japanese experience. Enjoy xxx

Nice Japanese dining in the Northern suburbs!!! The food quality is great even though there are still western infused in some dishes, but they taste good. The menu is limited but offers quite a range of Osaka dishes. They are small so better call in and book your table. The price is not on the cheap side but it is worth the food quality.

I’m pleased to share this cozy restaurant in Ivanhoe. It is an authentic Japanese cuisine! Real sashimi and sushi by the accomplished chef Yasu Highly Recommended

Pretty lacklustre dining experience. I normally don’t leave a bad review unless I feel like the rating of the restaurant does not match the actually dining experience that you receive.

We had a fantastic time here! The food was wonderful and so was the service. This tiny place is infinitely superior to the two Japanese restaurants in the main Ivanhoe shopping strip, IMO. Those places are both a bit old and staid, something this wonderful place is not. What they do here in a very compact space is amazing. It’s a serious hidden gem. We had a range of dishes – see photos – and they were all delicious. My highlights were the sashimi, the soft shell crab and the kingfish collar. The desserts are innovative too especially the green tea brûlée! The service throughout was utterly charming and efficient. The whole thing is a reminder of dining in Japan itself. One tip: make sure you book like we did as this is not a large restaurant. Do not miss it here. It’s a fabulous experience!

Amazing dinner at AKAMARU! Beautiful sashimi platter and main dishes.. nice presentation and good services forgot to take a photo of warm sake that we had with our dinner. If you are not sure about it just ask staff for any recommendations.

Stumbled upon this place by chance the other day and I’m glad I did. Amazingly authentic Japanese dishes that are great as meals, shared dishes or with a drink. Having lived in Japan for 5 years I’d struggled to find a good authentic restaurant in Melbourne, yet alone Ivanhoe but this place is as good as it comes. Oden is one soul food dish which I’d especially been missing and feared I’d never find in Aus so I’m over the moon to finally have a place close by that offers this. The Karaage is also far superior to any other Melbourne restaurant that I’ve tried. The owners are lovely and the tastes of the dishes are exquisite. Will be coming here from now on and hope to dine in after lockdown!

I spotted this place driving past and thought I would give it a go. I was blown away! Amazing food I would go as far as saying the best Japanese in Melbourne. I quite often eat at 5 star restaurants around the world and this place would beat some of those places hands down.

The sushi and nasu dengaku were nice. However, dishes came out sporadically and slow and we had to remind the staff at times. The okonomiyaki and pork belly were average and by the time they arrived we were already full and keen to get home. The interior is lovely and small, but overall we were disappointed.
