Everything from the atmosphere, service, food to the over all experience was outstanding. The quality and quantity of the food was particularly impressive.

Disappointing Japanese restaurant. The place is okay, good…read moremain entrance, very kind staff but not much of a Japanese ambience as far as tables, seats and decor in general, nothing fancy at all. Assorted sashimi was good, yummy fresh salmon, snapper (they didn't have king fish) and tuna. Mini spring rolls were okay. Grilled eel was great. The big problem is the menu. It has just a few options. Maybe about 10/15 dishes. To the sashimi, grilled eel and mini spring rolls we had the menu also offers tonkatsu pork, edamame, miso soup, teryaki chicken, salad, some kind of tofu, 3 or 4 more vegetarian dishes and that's all. There's no sushi rolls, no nigiri, no tempura, no fried rice, no gyoza... Which are the basics and standard at any Japanese! Very pricy for such a small selection. Definitely not a place for hungry eaters or growing children!

Despite the warning about slow service, we decided to give this place a try. I'm happy to report…read morethere were 2 waitresses this time, so service was better than for the first reviewer. Our group ordered sushi and sashimi, which appeared fresh and of good quality. We also had the gyoza dumplings which were fine. Most of the gang went for teriyaki salmon, which they all really enjoyed, and I opted for my usual test meal of the teriyaki chicken. The sauce was good but I found the chicken pieces just slightly overcooked. The venue was very hot, despite 3 split systems chugging away, but this has been a week of heat waves. The upstairs toilets had no a/c. Staff were very polite and my only minor complaint was that it took a bit too long to get our mains, despite timely entrance of the entrees. Although there are other choices in town, I am of the opinion that this place is just fine to check out, plus it's very easy being able to book online from their website!

So glad I finally tried this place. Shared 4 small entrées and a main and each and every one was…read moredelicious. Very fast a friendly service. I'll be back!

Easily my favorite restaurant in Ballarat…read more The room is set up so that you are sharing a long U shaped table with other guests around a grill, and the chef will come out and make everyone's table in order (i.e the entire table gets their entrees at the same time etc). Jackson (the white haired chef, and I think owner) is a master of this grill, and even though it's ALWAYS delicious no matter who it at the helm, it's a treat when you see him head over to your table with his knives. Some think that Tokyo Grill House is a touch pricey, but in all honesty for the amount and quality of the food - I'm more than happy to pay my approx $50 for a banquet type set every time.

Terrible experience…read more I understand that order mix ups happen, but this place was completely uncooperative about trying to fix this issue. My order was for ramen, and I received a meal that was clearly not soup. When I ran back out to catch the delivery driver, he refused to swap as the receipt tags were around the wrong way between mine and another order. He insisted I called the restaurant, which was answered by a woman who was not capable of clearly communicating in English over a phone. I eventually got my food, and it was decent, but I suspect only because the driver wanted to avoid any further altercation.

Having never had Japanese food, I was initially hesitant, so I let my friends order for me. We had…read moreseveral dishes, pork dumplings I remember and pork curry. The Atmosphere was very nice, and the staff very attentive. I had a Wolf Blass Shiraz, that was very nice. On a scale of one to ten (one being the worst) I would definitely give Ramen a 9.5, definitely recommend this restaurant, great for visitors and locals, despite the fact it's not central to the CBD, 27 kilometres from the city on the Merda train line, north of the city. By car 31 kilometres via city link and east link.

In addition to sushi, I had a chicken katsu curry with rice and gyoza... oh yeah. I will be back.
