"Small Japanese eatery inside the RMIT campus, so I recommend coming outside peak hours. The prices are very reasonable, though the portions are understandably on the smaller side. Flavour‑wise, everything was delicious. Among the dishes we tried, the unagi bento was especially good value for money. The karaage chicken bento and the chicken katsu curry are also highly recommended!"

"I ordered 2 prawn katsu boxes for the kids and they loved it. As others have mentioned, it's part of the RMIT food court which we didn’t mind. Service was really good and staff were very friendly."

"I tried the black ramen, and it’s so yummy! I like it the taste, the portion was ok and fine for us. I don't like the red radish one, but overall it's good. The atmosphere was oke and nice place to chit chat. When we ordered, we ordered and pay there, and the. We take our food by yourself, so self service. Ohh, they also like have special menu per day, and I tried the special menu on that day"
