RAKU JAPANESE RESTAURANT REVIEWS
Having been before, our expectations were high and they were exceeded. Top subtle service from the moment we entered. We sat at the bar and thoroughly enjoyed watching the creative plate and meal preparations. Quiet background music. Excellent wine list featuring many ACT wines. We had the $100 set menu and thought the variety of dishes were superb. Each small course was served with careful explanation. As good or better than anywhere we’ve eaten in Melbourne or Japan. Highly recommend.
Food was very nice. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the presentation was impeccable. I especially enjoyed the combination of ingredients used in each dish. The chef's attention to detail was evident in every bite. Overall, it was a delightful culinary experience that left me wanting more.
What a wonderful experience! We chose the $100 degustation menu and every dish was not only delicious but a work of art. We sat opposite the three chefs who were instrumental in creating some of the most incredible dishes. Fabulous atmosphere. I highly recommend booking as the restaurant was full and it was a week night.

IORI JAPANESE RESTAURANT REVIEWS
Very nice delicious food. The staff were very nice, friendly and attentive to customers. I’m not surprised why they are busy on Wednesday night. Excellent place for Japanese food.
Had the perfect birthday dinner here with friends and we really could not fault it. Vegan banquet was amazing and such great value for what we received. Table was full of dishes and they just kept coming! Birthday song and mochi ice cream balls were a nice surprise and all the staff were lovely. I would go back here in a heartbeat!
The food just kept coming and all of it was beautifully presented and delicious. Wasn't sure what I wanted so the waiter and Chef offered to modify one of the banquet options.

KAGAWA JAPANESE RESTAURANT REVIEWS
Next level delicious. The salmon nigiri tastes like it's legitimately just jumped off a plate from the streets of Osaka right into my mouth. Outrageously yum. Gyoza-yum, teppanyaki-yum, corn batai-yuuuuum, don-yum(would probably swap out for a ramen bowl next time), potato mochi-tasty but wouldn't get again. Fried banana a nice end to a great meal.
Delicious! We have often overlooked this restaurant but we were after a later dinner and this was one of the only places open in Dickson. So glad we finally tried it, it was very tasty. The broth in the pork ramen was the tastiest I've ever tried and the salmon don buri was good too. Look forward to visiting again! Vegetarian options: Some good options and very good for pescatarian.
Yummy Japanese in Dickson. We ordered Salmon Sashimi (delicious), Yellow tail nigiri (good), takoyaki (delicious), & gyoza (good). Well priced, yummy food, well timed delivery, and friendly service. We really loved the salmon sashimi! Definitely a new addition to our regular dining list!
