Food is always amazing. Been here a few times but love it every time. The service was great too but it was hard to get the server’s attention as it’s very busy. As it was usually packed, making a booking is recommended. Will come back for sure.

We booked this place fairly last minute, however I’m glad we did. Took my partner here for her birthday and the food and service was exceptional - Chef Jun and our server, Luciano were amazing. Serving sizes (especially for the a5 wagyu) were generous and the food itself was great - flavourful, creative (especially with the dessert) and great texture. I would definitely love to visit the next time we’re back in Melbourne, thank you for treating my partner and I so well, especially for her birthday.
