Generally, I go to Hahndorf for two things.....Beer and German Sausages. The last thing I expected…read moreto find in the main street was a Japanese restaurant that I liked! My inner Ninja-Samurai was doing cool wire-fighting back flips for joy when I entered this place, and for good reason. Haru is super happy smile time hi-five cool Joe! I have included a pic of the blown up menu that sits out the front so you can share in the awesomeness......firstly check out the spiral thingy. I saw these 'Twister Fries' on a food show recently, and I was stoked to find them on the menu at Haru! Basically they are a whole potato on a stick, cut in an unbroken spiral and deep dried.......How many times can I say awesome in one review? More, I can definately say it more! Many of the other dishes are stock standard, like the popular Chicken Katsu Don and, my personal favourite snack, Takoyaki. The Bento boxes are the big stand out though (along side the spiral spud). I tried the spicy pork Bento and it was Bento-lishes! Get on them, Awesome says it all!

*queues music* " I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning…read moreJapanese I really think so....." My love for Japanese food is very well documented on other social media streams! I just can't get enough. You might think that being in Hahndorf and being amongst a massive German sausage fest of eateries that I would order some good German fare. Been there, done that and another story for another time. Many years ago my husband and I stumbled across Haru. Initially we were hesistant. The plastic displays of what food they have on offer out the front of the shop puts a lot of people off. It's actually a great conversation piece as we see people stare at them and screw up their faces! It does not do their food any justice. The staff have always been attentive and friendly. Always going above and beyond to ensure that we have had an enjoyable meal. The food is simple, but it is good and has been consistently good over the years. That is what gives my review 4 stars. It's not a huge selection, just enough for a quick dine-in experience or takeaway. The kids enjoyed their sushi rolls which are reasonably priced. I usually go down the Chicken Katsu Bento box but this time I decided to mix it up and get the Beef Teriyaki Bento. My hubby got the Seafood Tempura Bento. Whilst we waited for the food, I got my order of Iced Green Tea Latte!! Mmmmm!! The food comes out and it looks good! "Itadakimasu" For around $14 for the bento, I think it is great value. The meal comes with a decent serving of rice, a miso soup, a delicious cabbage salad with a sesame mayo dressing, a little seaweed salad and pickled ginger, two slices of sushi roll, a mini spring roll and some edamame beans. The Teriyaki Beef was sweet and salty and good. It came in a thin gravy like sauce which I poured over my rice. The Seafood Tempura box came with a few prawns, a decent sized tempura covered Atlantic Salmon piece and a few tempura vegetables. I was lucky enough to eat the vegetable components because my husband is 'allergic' to vegetables - so he says! "Gochiso-sama deshita" (It means thank you for the meal)

In A Nutshell:…read more -Ginza Miyako Japanese Restaurant located in the Adelaide CBD has great service and food. -This Japanese & French fusion restaurant is located inside the 5 star Stamford Plaza Hotel. -I arrived right before they opened for lunch & was seated in their traditional dining room which has tatami flooring. -Just take off your shoes and the hostess will place them into a drawer. -I sat next to the window overlooking the sidewalk outside, great spot for people watching. -The food was all amazing, the Miyako Deluxe Bento Box not only looks good in the photo below, but is definitely delicious & should be a must order. -The half-dozen Fresh Coffin Bay Oysters also is photogenic dish, the oysters were cold & mouthwatering good. Overall, if you live in Adelaide or just visiting, I recommend eating a fine meal at Ginza Miyako Japanese Restaurant.

This has to be my favourite Japanese Restaurant. It is also one of the smallest but don't let…read morethat put you off, because, as someone once told me, good things come in small packages and Yakumi is certainly an example of this. The Restaurant is modern and feels joyously intimate as though you are eating in someone's home. It is stylish and well laid out to make the best use of the space. Peter is the owner and chef and he manages to create masterpieces in the smallest of kitchens. He is exacting about freshness and this is reflected in the food. I have been here many times and the food is undoubtedly excellent. I especially love the crab dumplings in Sake sauce. Just a word of warning for people on a budget, there is a minimum food charge which used to be $25 but I believe it may have increased to around $35. It certainly isn't a cheap night out but it is worth the money for a special occasion or just a treat!

Yakumi is not the place to pop into for a cheap Friday night eat, but if it's quality food,…read moreexcellent service and an inviting atmosphere you're after then this is the place for you! The restaurant has been around for a number of years, but seems to be not as well known as other restaurants on Jetty Road - perhaps as it's further away from the beach than most. We started off with the gyoza - always a go to dish for me. The gyoza at Yakumi were some of the best I've ever had - soft and pillowly, lightly fried, beautifully folded and paired with a delicious citrus dipping sauce. I would have been happy to just eat plate after plate! My partner and I then opted to share two main options. Looking back now, one and another entrée would have been plenty - however we weren't too sure of portion sizes. We shared the Cod and the Green Tea Smoked Salmon. It's hard to pick a favourite - both were impeccably cooked, melting in our mouths. The apple and potato salad that accompanied the salmon was a beautiful compliment, balancing the dish with both texture and flavour. We chose the black sesame ice cream for dessert, until the waitress kindly offered to make a plate so we could sample both that and the Green Tea ice cream. Black sesame was the favourite hands down, with a sweet berry sauce complimenting nicely. The drinks menu also had a nice selection to suit all tastes. It's very rare that I review a restaurant, but I couldn't walk away from Yakumi without giving them the recognition they deserve. Service was impeccable and the food incredible. We'll be back for sure!

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Very close to my hotel (Adelaide Ibis) but almost…read morecouldn't find it as it is tucked into a small corridor within the Adelaide Arcade. It's a small space, seating maybe 20 or so. Got there about 10:45 so had to wait a little bit (it opens at 11am). Ordered the Tori Teriyaki set, which comes with miso soup, white rice, daikon, and the main plate with the teriyaki chicken, a few leaves of lettuce. I was the only one in the place so I wasn't expecting to wait very long to get my food. I was surprised when the server came out 5 minutes later with my meal. Japanese food is a favorite of mine, and this food was excellent and priced fair for the portions. I will definitely return on my next visit.
