Hmm... well, aside from the super cramped seating and not-so friendly servers. Anyway, that aside, Samurai is Glenferrie little gem as they offer solid Japanese comfort food, for mostly under $10! ~best deal in town! Ordered the Chicken Katsu curry, and it arrived piping hot. The curry was on the milder side, a little watery for my liking, but appreciate the chunks of carrots that included in the mix. The bomb, however, has got to be the generous, tasty chicken katsu... so so good! If you are a fan of anything green tea, do check out their dessert menu! They carry green tea ice cream, milkshakes and even cheesecake. I wasn't too crazy about the green tea cheesecake (dry!) but I loooove the ice cream, so creamy and sweet! Overall, I had a great dinner experience at this humble Japanese eatery; fantastic food, pocket friendly and a bright ambiance, would definitely be back for more of their satisfying, hearty food. Tips: minimum use of $25 for credit cards.

Bonus points~ Ambiance: A nice and modest restaurant that's clean with cute napkin holders. Don't come here for anything fancy though. Customer Service: I really liked the customer service for several reasons: a) The woman who served us was very friendly and attentive. b) The food came out pretty quickly. c) I love the whispyness of Japanese accents. Food: I had a really worth-your-money bargain dinner box for $16 which gave me soup, entree, main, and dessert. SO FILLING and so worth the money. I ended up choosing: Miso Soup Gyoza Chicken Curry-Don Green Tea Ice-Cream All of it delicious! --- I highly rate this place and would recommend it to anyone who loves Japanese food.

The BEST sushi train I've been to in Melbourne. Pay by plate price. Can custom order from the menu…read more Super friendly and accommodating when I asked for gluten free soy sauce. The salmon and all the sashimi is so fresh. The unagi... omg... melts on your tongue. The best I think I've had yet. It's soooo easy to rack up a huge bill here, everything is so good! The mandarin jelly is soooo refreshing and delicious for afters. Can also recommend the mochi! Just love it. My best tip is to sit in the seat furthest from the front door so you get first choice of the freshest served sushi as it comes around. I'm worried about sharing my tip because then I'm afraid everyone will do it and steal my favourites from the sushi train before they get to me. Update: We just went again Friday night and they've got this amazing at-table-app you can now use to custom order and an amazing delivery system! So fun!

I walked in and was given a small table next to the belt, and was amazed at all the different dishes coming out. You can also order using your phone, which I did- beer and Saké, which was brought to me within a minute! I also ordered some Sushi that was not on the belt, and it came quickly as well! There were two servers running around, but they were cheerful and funny, and very helpful. I grabbed several plates, and everything I had was fresh and tasty- AND- QUALITY. There are seats right next to the belt, but there are some tables as well, if you want a more normal dining experience. When you are done, they count up your plates, and then you pay at the register- I was amazed at just how cheap my meal was! I will happily come back here again!

And, most important, for requesting beverages that you'll need to wash down all that nigiri and sashimi. $12 for a glass of Chandon? Coming right up! You could come here and not even need to talk to a human, but the staff are super friendly and available if you do need some assistance and will always greet you, in unison, when you fist walk in.

I must say Hanaichi was a pretty good eating experience, there's a diverse range of meals on the menu - Tempuras, Curries, Ramen and more, there's a heap of different dishes to try. The meals are pretty large in size and i like the idea of the cardboard plate / bowl so you can eat in and take-away if you like. The Japanese cuisine here is quite good for something whipped up quick and take-away.

Tip: always ask to b moved if ur seated in front of the fryer on the sushi train. Tip: beware of the hungry sushi chef. Was there on thu 25 Feb 2016. I couldn't believe what I'd witnessed. The dude knew he got caught out n pretended nothing happened. I was sitting at the sushi train / bar he had food handling gloves on and for whatever reason he decided to eat one of the scallops. His gloves touched his lips etc. he then used same hand to plate up!!!! Eeeew!! I left not long after.

I say that because Sushi Hotaru is quite literally a destination, albeit a hard to find and very busy one. Hotaru has great qaulity everything, ordered via a little interactive touch screen at your seats. Fast efficient service, it's a really cool experience ordering a bunch of items and then waiting for them to come out not knowing which is to arrive next. Cheap eating destination and a good one. Heaps of stuff on the menu to choose from. It's above and a little bit removed from Shandong mama.

All plates are $3.00 unless otherwise noted. It's pretty good sushi. Very standard and lots of variety. The cool part is you can order using their ipad. Yes, you even have to order your water through there. I sat waiting for the waitress to ask if I wanted anything to drink and after messing with the ipad realized I order everything through there. What I recommend that isn't on the train is the agedashi tofu and soft shell crab. So yummy!! I wish I ordered another, but I was so stuffed.

The scallop nigiri was so good, I was not expecting much, but I would def get it again! I love that the miso soup comes in a cup and the shoyu comes in a little fish shaped squeeze tube.
