This restaurant is one to bookmark and is really worth going out of your way to check out. Especially to try Japanese Modern takes on breakfast all day. And then there is the Ramen menu..... wow! I can not wait to return to get my hands on a bowl. They have a menu that is pretty much build your own Ramen. After being handed the menu for breakfast, I had a real hard time trying to choose between the Matcha Pancakes and The Classic (with salmon). Although I adore pancakes, I had to go with something a little more traditional for my first time. Classic it was! This dish features Grilled Atlantic Salmon, Aji-Tama (Salted Soft Boiled Egg), sweet potato salad, with Yuzu Vinaigrette Pickled Veg, rice & miso. The dish itself looked really pretty, just check out the photos. Presentation is well thought out and planned. The salmon was cooked through with a salty and sweet sauce. It tasted similar to teriyaki sauce. The sweet potato salad was mixed in with other vegetables and a kewpie mayo style sauce. Worked so well with the salmon and rice. I really loved the egg as well, it was slightly salty and really gives depth to the dish. Wash this all down with miso & tofu and you have a really perfect breakfast. I was so impressed, I am really looking for any excuse to return. Keep on the look out for my updated review when I get my hands on some Ramen! OH YES!

The idea of a Japanese breakfast combined with a photography lesson lured me to Black Dog Gallery…read moreon an early Sunday morning. The lovely Jun allowed us to utilise the entire space for our photography purpose. The warm and cosy contemporary interior provided a lovely backdrop for our morning lesson. Once coffee orders was placed and received, we got down to selecting our breakfast. I opted for the classic which had grilled salmon, served with sweet potato salad, miso and rice. Other dishes ordered include the tradition breakfast, salmon bagel and ramen pizza. My breakast was delicious! Nothing to fault here. I believe everyone else enjoyed theirs too from the positive feedback making its rounds. They have ramen noodles from 10am, which wasn't yet available to us being early birds. It just means I will have to come back! I highly recommend this place because you can see the quality and love put in to this place where the food including the sweets made in-house is equally tasty. The owners are clearly dog-lovers hence the name. A small picture frame can be seen of their black pooch on top of the sweets cabinet. This place is not very big, so come early, as it can fill up quickly.

I'm pretty sure I'd seen this restaurant a couple of times before while driving up the road, but I…read morenever bothered to go in until my friend told me that there was a good Korean restaurant over on Payneham Road and I realized this was it. Being called Sushi Gallery, I originally thought this might be some small Japanese sushi restaurant, however upon further inspection it became clear that it was not... well not exactly. Now, they do serve sushi (though you have to pre-order in order for them to make it apparently) and they do have some Japanese dishes such as Tonkatsu and Okonomiyaki. However, past that, their primary mains are Korean dishes and from the way design their menu to include Korean words to how they traditionally serve Kimchi and other side dishes along with the mains, I am certain that what this place is primarily a Korean restaurant that happens to serve Japanese food as well. Either way, I'm not too fussed with the details. I like both Korean and Japanese food, so for me I get the best of both worlds. When I was there last, we ordered a Chicken Katsu, a Dolsot Bibimbap and theses Okonomiyaki balls (which were called something else in Korean but I forget the name). The meat for the chicken katsu was abit dry, but the other two korean dishes were excellent as were the sides that accompanied them. I get the feeling that Korean dishes are probably more up the chef's alley. It's not a very big shop, so during dinner time it can get full very quickly. The time I went was just before the crowd arrived so we were extremely lucky that day to get a seat. There was only one person in the front of house who was taking orders, serving and accepting payments. I get the feeling that this may be a family run operation but right now I'm just full of assumptions. The decor inside is simple but elegant and gives the place that classic oriental feel so you know that you're in either a Korean or Japanese restaurant. I'll be heading back there to scope out more of their dishes. I almost feel reluctant to write this review as I know that once people catch wind of this place, they are going to want to go to it, and once they do they will keep coming back and I may not have anywhere to sit any more because it becomes so popular. Ok, maybe I'm OCD-ing a little bit about the potential of the place, but for me, this is going to be my go to Korean restaurant from now on, and as such I'd be more than happy to keep it my little secret.

Their kimchi also soooo good, pity it's quite a small amount for me! If you know real Korean food I would recommend hot pot food, of course other food also real good!

To put it bluntly I am one incredibly slack cat! Luckily for me, Sakura at Marden is really close to my folks place and I drive past there almost every day! I realise that Sakura is part of a chain of Sushi/Japanese restaurants that have sprung up around the place, but the quality really goes up and down depending on which one you go to. Marden is always on the money, and the Seafood Laksa scares me....It is just that good! Plus, it is really cheap. For under $15 you can have a good solid feed and leave feeling like one more bite would send you into a scene from 'The Meaning of Life'! If you get there towards closing time you can also get half price Sushi Rolls, but be mindful, sometimes the rice is a bit crunchy by then!

Overall, if you live in Adelaide or just visiting, I recommend eating a fine meal at Ginza Miyako Japanese Restaurant.

I've tried to fight it, but I can not escape the fact that this is my local sushi provider. I've…read morebeen coming here for so long now, and despite a few ups and downs in quality, I'm now more confident than ever that this place can keep up with the best of them. The service is always friendly, and the value for money of the rolls is around the mark. I've eaten the raw fish rolls a few times, and no illnesses to date! The platters they do are also pretty good. Nothing super fancy, although they are usually in a container tied with a ribbon, which is nice. Another personal bonus for me is that they are open at 9.30 on Sunday mornings. Apparently not everyone craves sushi after a big night, but I do. And having sushi made fresh for you while you wait is special. It's exactly the kind of special I like to feel on a Sunday morning. I'll keep coming back. Until they close. Or until a decent, convenient sushi provider opens even closer to where I live.

First off, ohhh jjjeeaahh.. they serve the best gyozas I've ever tasted. Hands down. Golden brown. And on the edge of being delicate. I could have kissed the chef! Dishes were perfect for sharing, they all came with even amounts of items (unlike Matsuri across the road, or Yakitori Takumi where things come in threes). Graceful vegetable tempura. Wicked good choice of sashimi, including: blue fin tuna, beef, scallop and clam. If you're not a fan of mayo, perhaps shy away from the rolls, or ask them to use a little less. They do some tasty lunch specials under $15 including bento boxes. Take away available. Atmosphere is average. Save room for the green tea ice cream!
