Cheltenham is fast becoming another interesting place to have eclectic food as good as anything in Fitzroy.

I plan on being a long term patron and feel I've found myself The Japanese Restaurant of choice in the South Eastern suburbs. The decor is clean and authentic, sporting metal tables, adorable Japanese art and mood lighting. There is a Sushi Chef at the end of the restaurant who you can watch prepare your fresh sushi or sashimi, it's a delightful place to be if you truly appreciate Japanese food and culture, as I do. The staff are incredibly sweet and attentive too! The menu is authentic. There is a couple if ways to approach ordering depending on your mood, group and such. The entree options can be ordered almost like tapas, the mains are filling on their own or you could order the platters of sumptuous sushi with fresh wasabi and tasty pickled ginger (not the sad looking pink stuff.) You can leave satisfied on $20 or $60. I think even if you are Japanese foods number one fan or just discovering the hidden treasures of the cuisine, I can not imagine you will not be pleased with your visit to this fine establishment on Hampton St. Enjoy!

Thinking about it makes me want to go back now!! We also ordered the Sama Fish. This was amazing. Grilled to perfection! Beware it can be a bit too fishy for the uninitiated. The surprise quality of the night was the the agedashi dofu! Best I've had in a long while. Decent amount of bonito flakes sprinkled on 4 cubes of perfectly cooked tofu .. lightly fried on the outside with soft centre tofu inside. This mixed in with a salty bonito broth!!!! OMG!

Japan Inn is a beautiful and modern space which celebrates a range of extremely delicious Japanese…read moredishes. I have been going to Japan Inn continuously for over 15 years and cannot stop going back. Although this beautiful restaurant can get very busy (due to popularity and incredibly delicious food), the quality of each and every meal and the cute environment is what makes this place so special to me. As Japan Inn is very busy and so popular, I highly recommend booking well in advance in order to eliminate waiting time to be seated. I also recommend that people arrive at Japan Inn at least 10 minutes before their booking. I highly recommend ordering the Banquette as it provides a range of different taste sensations, textures, aromatics and a delicious food experience in general. I absolutely love Japan Inn and cannot wait to come back next time as always. Annabel Ellis.
