Gave this a go last night with some friends after finding it on scoopon, deal goes as follows :

"get unlimited japanese food!*"

I've included the asterisk, pretty much you pay :
One person dines for $19
Two people for $35
Four people for $69
six people for $99!

For that you get 90 minutes to order an unlimited amount of dishes during the set time

The reason I added the asterisk as it will depend how quickly they can cook them and how busy the place is, the 4 of us managed to demolish an entree and 3 main dishes in the time frame with 5 minutes to spare, 2 of us managed to smash a further dish each which not only was great food but a great deal as a lot of the mains are $20-25 each normally.

We've used similar scoopon deals at other japanese places in adelaide and normally you are paying $65 per person for a deal like this and you get a set menu with limited choices if any, they pretty much let us have free choice which was great.

We were also offered included in the deal a beer, soft drink or sake each, I dont know if it was an error but after choosing sake we were expecting a shot like most places offer you in deals like this and instead were served a bottle each containing 3-4 shots EACH!

So yeah, would definitely recommend, I liked the yakatori most of all, my mate loved their traditional ramen, gf loved the miso. Good night out if anyone else is into it for some pretty good dining on a budget.

Their english is not the best but to be honest adds to the experience :)

    Hi typhoonadventure,

    When did you buy the coupon? Did you pay attention the menu provided by Scoopon?

    I had bad experience with them on Thursday night.

    I bought the coupons last Friday when it just came out. I also downloaded the menu from Scoopon website. When we went there on Thursday night, a different menu was handed out to us. I showed my downloaded menu to the manager but he said All You Can Eat menu had been changed after I bought the coupons. We were also told that we couldnt share food with each others but this was not written anywhere on Scoopon.

    The menu on Scoopon website has been changed but luckily the original menu is still available - http://s3-static.scoopon.com.au.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/pdf/…
    Current menu URL - http://s3-static.scoopon.com.au.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/pdf/…

    The original menu has 5 pages but new menu only 3 pages. We ended up leaving without dining. Another couple also noticed the menu issue in the restaurant that night.

    In addition if you think its a Japanese restaurant, you are wrong. I am 95% sure that it is NOT a Japanese restaurant. Why? Because I am an Asian so I know how Japanese speak English. The 5% uncertainty is simply because I am not a Japanese.

      we bought it wed and dined friday.

      All of the menu's in the place were the downsized one, I figured they'd scale it back due to seasonal and ingredient availability.

      We were told we could sample each others food, but as per the condition of only new food would be brought out when dishes were finished this was so plate swapping to game the system could occur.

      As for the japanese restaurant, remark, i'd say that one is up for debate, i've dined in many and like other asian restaurants you can sum up any asian dining experience into any culture category and then it's down to how authentic you are going to get.

      I'd definitely say this one is anglo-japanese, I have a cherry blossum sushi down the road from me that does Chinese, japanese and even malaysian dishes pretty accurately despite being a dedicated anglo-jap-sushi place.

      At the end of the day for $69 the 4 of us had a great meal, got a decent amount of food, we were very happy with it.

      Theres a less anglo focused place in norwood called samurai teppanyaki in norwood we used to hangout for vouchers for, but they are insanely expensive, and have extremely cut down on their value and quality.

      For comparison to this couple of years back they used to offer a $30 per person scoupon for a 9 course meal, went there, the place was cramped as hell and the coupon users never got to sit at the grill tables as they were for "paying customers", despite that the staff were nice and you got a choice from 3x set menu's so you atleast got some choice in what you had and you got a shot of sake.

      Few months later the same vouchers showed up again but at $45 a person, went back there, quality of the items had dipped a bit but was still enjoyable.

      Third time went back there with the vouchers being $60 per person, to get there and find it had been changed to 7 course, no choice and some of the items were junk like a tiny bowl of rice or a shotglass full of coleslaw, and the sake shot was considered a course.

      last set of vouchers I saw for them was $65 so yeah. Prices seem to keep going up and value going down.

      Sucks that you had a bad experience to be honest I would have been annoyed if I had the same thing, but for anyone else that is happy with 4 people eating out with multiple courses $17.25 each ain't bad.

        For sure $19 is a deal for Japanese food, even with the new downgraded menu. I was not happy simply because that what we would get is different from what we purchased.

      in melbourne most japanese places have chinese students working as waitresses and teppanyaki cooks ….. maybe because there are more japanese eateries than there are japanese hospitality workers in australia.
      not all pizza chefs in australia are italian and plenty of turkish eateries run by lebanese etc.
