The Bún Bò Huế was decent however the Teriyaki Beef in the Zen set, and pork cutlet and crackling pork in the Combination Rice was well marinated and full of savouriness and flavour!

I 100% recommend for those looking for a cheap meal and or wonderful place to dine with family and friends with a nice setup.

The food is mainly the Japanese version of tapas, meat and vegetables on skewers, but there are also some yummie vegetable gioza and unagi and salmon dishes on a bed of rice. We tend to order 3-4 dishes per person and share. As mentioned by other reviewers, they have also an excellent selection of sake. This doesn't make it a cheap dining experience (hence 4 out of 5 from me), but that won't stop us from becoming regulars! Hint: when you finish with them the skewers go in a little jar on your table!

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)

This has to be my favourite Japanese Restaurant.

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!

I am beside myself…read more Yakumi has always been one of my favourite local restaurants and one that I have recommended to many friends, for its atmosphere, quality of food and friendly service. Much to my anguish, that all changed last night. After perusing the menu, we asked for a refresher on what was gluten free, as it's never been indicated anywhere. The waitress (who was new) advised not a lot, but would check with the chef. She came back and abruptly told us absolutely nothing. When we questioned that, and asked about the edamame for instance, which along with the sashimi is definitely gluten free, she commented in a dismissive manner as she was walking off, "oh apart from that of course." When you are easily going to be paying $50pp plus drinks, I expect cordial service not downright rudeness. I can understand the waitress may have been under pressure due to being new, but for the chef to respond in the way that he did is unforgivable. It can't be blamed on new management either, because I recognised a lot of the staff, including the chef. At that point we got up and left. Never to return. What a disappointment.

I'm pretty sure I'd seen this restaurant a couple of times before while driving up the road, but I…read morenever bothered to go in until my friend told me that there was a good Korean restaurant over on Payneham Road and I realized this was it. Being called Sushi Gallery, I originally thought this might be some small Japanese sushi restaurant, however upon further inspection it became clear that it was not... well not exactly. Now, they do serve sushi (though you have to pre-order in order for them to make it apparently) and they do have some Japanese dishes such as Tonkatsu and Okonomiyaki. However, past that, their primary mains are Korean dishes and from the way design their menu to include Korean words to how they traditionally serve Kimchi and other side dishes along with the mains, I am certain that what this place is primarily a Korean restaurant that happens to serve Japanese food as well. Either way, I'm not too fussed with the details. I like both Korean and Japanese food, so for me I get the best of both worlds. When I was there last, we ordered a Chicken Katsu, a Dolsot Bibimbap and theses Okonomiyaki balls (which were called something else in Korean but I forget the name). The meat for the chicken katsu was abit dry, but the other two korean dishes were excellent as were the sides that accompanied them. I get the feeling that Korean dishes are probably more up the chef's alley. It's not a very big shop, so during dinner time it can get full very quickly. The time I went was just before the crowd arrived so we were extremely lucky that day to get a seat. There was only one person in the front of house who was taking orders, serving and accepting payments. I get the feeling that this may be a family run operation but right now I'm just full of assumptions. The decor inside is simple but elegant and gives the place that classic oriental feel so you know that you're in either a Korean or Japanese restaurant. I'll be heading back there to scope out more of their dishes. I almost feel reluctant to write this review as I know that once people catch wind of this place, they are going to want to go to it, and once they do they will keep coming back and I may not have anywhere to sit any more because it becomes so popular. Ok, maybe I'm OCD-ing a little bit about the potential of the place, but for me, this is going to be my go to Korean restaurant from now on, and as such I'd be more than happy to keep it my little secret.

Their kimchi also soooo good, pity it's quite a small amount for me! If you know real Korean food I would recommend hot pot food, of course other food also real good!
