"Excellent food. I had the chicken curry. Large portion for a decent price."

"This Japanese set meal place may look modest, but the food is definitely worth recommending! They serve purple rice, which is both healthy and adds a nice texture. The seasoning across the dishes was just right. My family really enjoyed the eel, and I ordered the pork cutlet rice bowl. The only small downside was that I wished there was just a bit more sauce. The fried chicken, on the other hand, was crispy, flavorful, and juicy on the inside—really satisfying overall!"

"Absolutely loved the Japanese food here. Everything tasted fresh and well balanced, especially the eel and hot dishes like the beef curry & the omelette egg rice curry. The flavours were clean, not overpowering, and you can really tell care goes into the preparation. Definitely a place I’d come back to."

"This organic café serves delicious Japanese food with a quick “get in, get out” vibe. I waited about five minutes for my meal. I ordered the Katsu Curry for $14.80, along with an extra katsu for $6. The serving size was pretty decent, with a good amount of chicken. The chicken was partially hidden under the curry sauce. The curry itself was flavorful and lighter than the thicker varieties typically found in Japan. Overall, it's a convenient local spot in the CBD offering quick service and good condiments to spice up your meal or add extra flavor."

"▪Authentic Japanese curry at an affordable price with generous portions - a rare find in Melbourne!▪ I tried the Curry Katsu Don ($14.80) & Ramen Katsu ($15.80), and was impressed by the abundant servings. The flavors are satisfying and well worth the price. I'm eager to return and explore more dishes on the menu"

"It is a cheap lunch and the portion sizes are reasonable! However the taste of the food is average and somewhat bland for my opinion If you are not particular about the taste, overall is good! The staff is friendly, and there are seating options both indoors and outdoors"

"Literally the most amazing Japanese meal I've eaten to date in Melbourne. Authentic and glorious! Cutest little Jafé (Japanese Café) with an extensive menu which feels like its family run and amazingly close to my workplace. Go here and taste the epic food, the staff are amazing also"
