Remember to look on the specials board when you arrive as half of what we ordered to share was from the blackboard and the dishes were oh so delicious. -Hamachi seared scallops and scallops on nigiri: smokey and fresh -Thin waygu slices on silken tofu: refreshing on the palate -Seared moment tofu and miso infused eggplant: I pretty much gobbled this one up by myself -Tuna sashimi with soy and wasabi dressing: dressing may be a bit strong for some however I would have preferred to have an additional kick! I must say the food is better than the service as the waiter's did not seem to know what to call each dish when they served but it attempted to describe them to us however I would return as the service was still friendly.

The soft shell crab was served cold and swimming in some sort of salad dressing. It tasted slimy, and it was not clear on the menu that this dish would be served cold. The chicken was fine, salt and pepper were nice additions. Most mains were accompanied by chilled mashed potato and a 'pub style' collection of mixed salad leaves. Nothing impressive here. The worst part of the evening was that all dishes were served in such quick succession, literally minutes. What was meant to be a casual Saturday eve dinner (with a byo bottle of great Heathcote red) felt very rushed, more like a 10 minute work lunch.

Came on a sat night - the place is quite small with friends staff. I wished the heater had been turned up as it was quite cold. I loved the decor on the walls! We ordered a few things to share infusing soft shell crab, jap hamburger, and another main and 2 desserts. The soft shell crab was not what I expected - it was cold and soggy and that was not mentioned in menu as a cold dish. It wasn't pleasant at all. The hamburger on the other hand was delicious - juicy and soft pattie full of flavour. We loved both the desserts -matcha creme brûlée and the fish pancake with red bean filling.

In my belly went as follows : "Sashimi plate" a chefs choice of delicious fish, descent size slices about 6 mm which is about 1/4 inch, and the fish was fresh and cold. There was about 20 ish pieces, at $32 bucks that's like $1.60 per slice of fish, that's not bad. "Spicy Kimchi Soup" hot mama ! Good and hot bowl of red goodness should be the name. It is a very tasty kimchi soup. Lots of kimchi and big ass chunks of tofu bathing in a red lava broMake sure you ask for rice because it doesn't come with it. Side of rice was $2. This Is a great spot with a very nice staff. It's a quaint shop with big flavor. I will be back to try the "Pork Belly Tofu Kimchi" the picture looked amazing and someone ordered next to me and I was jealous. Check it out !

Then add the selection of fresh sashimi, very good quality. They have an ample menu of Japanese and Korean dishes. I went with the bento with salmon (two big pieces), 4 slices of sashimi, a heap of chicken karaage, pickles, rice and miso soup. This would normally cost at least $20 in the CBD. Here only $16! My dining companion went with the giant dish of sushi and sashimi. All fresh and delicious for $19. Great deal and even better service. It's not omakase grade seafood but honestly good food at affordable prices. I can't wait to return and try their other dishes.

Teriyaki Boy is a quick takeaway spot for Japanese food in the food court of Victoria Gardens…read more Customer Service: Fast, and polite. Nothing really more to that unfortunately, so I suppose things could be improved with a smile here or there, but nothing to complain about really. Food: I had the Teriyaki Chicken Bento, which came with Teriyaki Chicken, Salad, a piece of Tofu and Broccoli, and Rice. A decently filling meal all for a little over 7 dollars - amazing deal. The food wasn't half-bad either. I wasn't too keen on the Tofu or Broccoli, but the Chicken was tender with a nice flavourful sauce and it went really well with the rice. Came out really quickly as well! I probably wasn't even waiting for 3 minutes yet! Teriyaki Boy is a solid option for a bit of cheap Japanese food at Victoria Gardens, but it's definitely not the best. Don't go there for delicious food, but go there for a cheap, filling, and decent meal.

At…read morethis particular location, the interior was simple, adorned with neutral and wooden loving colors, overall homey but also looks somewhat fast- foody! Their menu was a couple pages long, listing from rice, noodle to many other interesting creations. To be honest, deciding what dish to get here can be quite a tedious task. Some of my favorites: + Hainan chicken rice: The steamed chicken was actually pretty common, but so glad that the rice tasted quite authentic and certainly surpassed my expectations. Also, what makes this much more amazing was that the chili sauce on the side, it was spicy, gingery and garlicky delicious. + Mee Goreng: this is what I would normally get if I'm in the mood for their noodle dish. It was fantastic! It has a nice charred taste and taste just like the one I had in Singapore.... Almost! + Char Kway Teow: The champion! The flavor was very bold and vibrant, the meat was generous. I love how the wok hei aroma spread throughout the noodle, but gotta warn you that they are true to their spicy levels! But in a way, the spiciness really helps elevate the overall flavors! Absolutely my fave here. It was a great dining experience as always; the food was consistently well seasoned, with prices that was more than affordable. The service was speedy and courteous, even on their busiest hour. My only issue here is the challenging parking situation, but other than that, Chef Lagenda is a good ol' reliable family favorite and definitely a spot worth many return visits.

It's a nice modern fit out with cool grey tones. Not fancy but very appropriate. We had a very tight table fit! As close as I've ever experienced. For some reason it didn't matter. It's a minimalist wine list here with some good options. We chose a lovely Gruner Veltliner. We had five dishes overall - signature aburi, salmon avo roll, chasing sunset, pali pali salad and kurogi gyoza. All of these were superb with the absolute highlight being the signature aburi. Very impressive modern food. What did surprise us was how quickly things wrapped up here. The kitchen closed just after 9.30. We were the last to leave about 15 minutes later. Nice place though. I would definitely return.

Small ice cream scoop of potato salad, rice(which unfortunately was cold) a little seaweed salad and of course the last deep fried chicken/ it was nice but doesn't need added salt.

This. Place. Makes. Tasty. Sushi…read more Ok, so here's the deal: the food doesn't look particularly high-quality. In fact, the presentation kind of looks like pre-made sushi at a grocery store. Note that everything in their display window are hand-rolls. (Not the bitty 'set of 6' style, just one big honker.) They have a ton of churn during the lunch hour, so they need to prepare all the fish / rolls starting at 9am. That's why there are several meters of sushi sitting there by 11am. But it all tastes good. There was one with tuna and basil that was *UNBELIEVABLY GOOD* and easily worth the cost... it really wasn't that expensive. Yes, this from a sushi to-go place. And it's fast + convenient to boot.

I let it go again because I figure its been brought on by the server having unresolved issues with something or other that'll never be apprised of. Too much to unpack.
