3 Best Japanese Restaurants in Ballarat, VIC

Had my first Okami experience and have to say it was a bountiful delight. The food was very fresh and top quality… the service was very good except the original wait to be seated, and the atmosphere was really enjoyable.

Food was delicious and the price is quite reasonable for such good quality Japanese buffet. Definitely will come back again

Been to Okami 4 times already this year worth the $$$ with all you can eat. The quality is good with the price the wait was a little long sometimes. But over all never disappointed and good choice to have dinner with brunch of friends

Had a great time, teppanyaki was super fun. Our party opted for a set menu, the food was fresh and delicious, the service was lovely. We didn’t get the fried rice upgrade but to our delight another group did and we enjoyed the theatrics immensely. The only thing that could have improved our situation was greater communication as to how everything works, what sauces are for what dishes etc. we had fun making it up but also felt like some direction would have been appreciated

Absolutely amazing service, the waitresses are super lovely and attentive and extremely patient with my drunk crowd. Chef was ridiculously amazing, definitely will be coming back here for sure!! They helped us with understand the menu and explaining what sauces best to suit each meal.

I find this place a good choice for Japanese food when you feel like you wanna try something different not just sushi roll all the time. there are so many different dishes you would want to try. But the thing is every dish is not so big and it comes with the price. You might have to pay a bit to make your stomach full overall was a great experience

What a wonderful way for my friends to treat me for my birthday. I'd never been here before. The sushi train was fun to see your food and drink come out to your table as you order it on the screen. All the food we ate was delicious. We will be back for another meal. Terry, Emily and Seth

Kasoten was definitely the best Japanese restaurant that I’ve ever had, and one of the more important things is that it has such fast service, while having the fun of the little train sort of thing, but the food is absolutely amazing. This is a must if you are visiting. 5 STARS.
