AKAMARU Japanese Casual Dining - Food VIC

5 /5 Joanne Hung: Very nice food in a small but clean Japanese restaurant. We enjoyed the food very much. Staffs r also very friendly and helpful. Had a great experience.

2 /5 Simon Benelli: Honestly we came here because of the good review, and I was a little hesitant to write a review as I didnt want to leave a negative review at a what seemed hardworking family, however, I need to suggest that the food here is very ordinary, and expensive compared to the amount of food and quality. I noticed they use some ordinary ingredients but charge a premium. Honestly if you are looking for good traditional Japanese food, unfortunately this isnt the place

4 /5 Robert Donald: 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

5 /5 Nichakorn Pongsakornsathien: 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.

5 /5 Two Sheds: 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! ———————— Loved it so much we came back again a week later. We had a few things we didn’t have the first time including spicy edamame, tuna tartare, dumplings, oysters and some drinks we didn’t have the first time. Absolutely delicious again with impeccable service again. It’s our new favourite place!!
