We went here for lunch and I had seen and heard about the food from yelp and friends that have been here. We decided to go with the "feed me" option where the bring out a set menu and a tapas style. The dishes were all amazing. My favorite being the taco as it was amazing. The tempura nori taco shell was light and crispy and filled with rice, salmon, chilli oil, kewpie and topped Napa cabbage and spring onion. It's to die for. A favorite of all our group. The following dishes were all good also from the salmon tartare to the brisket roll. Also the MFC miyagi fried chicken was good coupled with mayo dipping sauce satisfied the bogan in me. The feed me selection was enough to fill me up and feel satisfied with out being too much so that I felt over full and heavy all day. There was other dishes on the menu I will certainly go back to try as they all looked and sounded good. The service was great and very attentive and friendly. The food came out fairly quickly so as not to be waiting too long for the next dish. I highly recommend mr miyagi and am eager to return myself.

I was pleasantly surprised at just how much I enjoyed the food at this little restaurant…read more Walking in, I thought it looked a little dodgy, as it is very dated both inside and out. I chose this place as it was the only thing open when I finished work. All I wanted to do was grab some food and get home to the TV. The menu was very varied, I had a hard time deciding between the Mongolian beef and the satay chicken. In the end I went with the beef. One word. Delicious. The beef was sliced so thinly it literally melted in my mouth, and the sauce was awesome. I have since been back many times, and everything I try is as good as the last. The prawns, in particular, are smashing. I am always a bit iffy of buying a seafood dish in a Chinese restaurant, but the prawns were super big and juicy.

It serves some seriously good, sometimes absolutely spectacular traditional and fusion dishes with lovely service in very pleasant surroundings. It is the perfect combination for a great night out or a really enjoyable lunch. Two Sheds and his regular dining companion, a Japanese food aficionado of some note, were lucky enough to be invited to edit here on a cold and dark Tuesday night. This new and beautifully put together Japanese restaurant is located very near St Kilda junction and a short walk from Windsor station. We were greeted by the maître d warmly and shown to an ideal table. The fitout is extremely inviting, warm and there is even a lovely Japanese Garden/courtyard for lazy summer afternoons. How I'd love to have that garden at my own place, including the beautiful stately bamboo. The menu is elegant and well put together. A beautiful list of sakes is included on the wine list, with a small, but well selected, list of wines. We asked the maître d for the chef's selection. For entree followed sashimi (at our request), carpaccio of salmon, tuna and kingfish with a ponzu sauce and exquisite scallops grilled with enoki mushrooms. Our favourites on the sashimi were the salmon belly and kingfish and snapper. The salmon belly in particular had a texture and consistency which we handy experienced before. These were amazing (see pictures). The grilled scallops were topped with a salmon roe mayonnaise which was something we've not experienced before. It is a gorgeous dish. It set off the flavour and texture of the enokis very well. And was a perfect match with the recommended dry sake. As good as the initial dishes were, the absolute highlight offerings were still to come. The dishes of the night came with the main courses. The first was the black cod. Cooked slowly on the grill, this salty and strong fish was served on a bed of special miso. Exquisitely flaky and flavoursome, an acquired taste because of its strength, but something that you MUST come here to taste. It is an exceptional dish which sent us into a state of ecstasy. Some people don't like the skin, but please try it, because that too was cooked perfectly so as not to be tough. Trust us. This dish alone is enough to cross town for. It's amazing! The wagu beef was served on an authentic Japanese grill. Placed on Houba leaf - magnolia in English - over the grill, to protect and flavour the beef. The beef is sourced from Gippsland. It was tender, rare and superbly flavoured. Along with the black cod, you could not get better, authentic, dishes than this were you actually in Japan, a wonderful country that my dining companion and I have been to many times. Dessert was a touch of tradition coupled with a touch of fusion: green tea ice cream with a delicate and small black sesame panna cotta square. The ice cream was deliciously matcha flavoured (another Two Sheds favourite flavour) and the panna cotta square had delicate smoothness about it which was beguiling. Serves were a perfect (small) size given the feast we'd already eaten. We were sad our visit had to come to an end here. We enjoyed the whole experience immensely. Japanese food of this high quality is truly a thing to behold and celebrate. If this restaurant was near my home I'd be here on a very regular basis. My dining companion is so lucky. He is in the next suburb and is already planning regular returns including with his partner and father who adore great Japanese food. If you're nearby, just visit. If you're not nearby, my strong advice is make a little effort. I would cross town to get to Fujitei anytime. The restaurant is in the Le Clec category to me. A wonderful restaurant with a buoyant rating and just waiting to be fully discovered. Our thanks to Ryoichi for such a great experience with superb hospitality. We love this restaurant and highly recommend you visit it soon.

I am quickly writing this review because I have been there 3 times already in as many weeks and am going back tonight, but have still not written a review which at 5 stars is very well deserved. So the carpaccio of fish is just superb. The quality of the fish, the nice thick portions of fish and the sauce is just perfection. The house roll is one of the best I have had anywhere, raw, great texture and a bit of crunch - I was nearly put off because it was tempered but it is so light, it just totally compliments it. The black cod was fantastic, so perfectly done, a little small but with other dishes which you have to try, not complaining. Their super special eel roll is just so huge and delicious with what felt like an entire eel ! We got this at the end, but it could have been a whole meal in itself it was that well done and cooked to perfection. Everything on the menu that I have tried so far, makes going out to eat here pure joy. The restaurant itself is clean and cute and welcoming. The staff have been wonderful, on one occasion the owner's mother served us, such a lovely kind, gentle woman who truly did not look old enough to have a grown son ! We enjoyed the ambience, the staff, and of course the food, which made it a wonderful night each time I have come here. Highly, highly recommend .

Tried it today for the first time ever, and I was glad I did. The breakfast and brunch menu have some different items than the rest of the cafes in Melbourne (who all have pretty much the same menus). While I only chose the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon, the others in the group had different items, and we all enjoyed what we had. The service is friendly, the decor is lovely, the food is tasty. IF I had to be picky over anything, it would be the pricing. I do think some items were really high, especially for things you can easily make at home. Also, no effort whatsoever to attempt any substitutions with things in a dish. With that said, I'd definitely come back again. It was also a really nice touch that they gave me a complimentary cupcake with sparkler for my birthday. It just made the whole experience that little nicer still.
