Nice Japanese dining in the Northern suburbs!!! The food quality is great even though there are still western infused in some dishes, but they taste good. The menu is limited but offers quite a range of Osaka dishes. They are small so better call in and book your table. The price is not on the cheap side but it is worth the food quality.

Probably hands down one of the best authentic Japanese restaurants in melbourne. Simple dishes done properly with a hint of fushion. My favourite would have to be their chicken karaage, and green tea brûlée!

We just had the best experience with Akamaru!They let us bring our own containers so that we didn't have to use any plastic and even gave us a discount for it! Amazing!The woman I spoke to was so helpful and lovely and they even labeled the sauces for us!The miso eggplant was incredible, so juicy and sweet! We also loved the gyozas and the sauce, so delicious. The tofu was great too!We'll definitely be back! Thank you!

I spotted this place driving past and thought I would give it a go. I was blown away! Amazing food I would go as far as saying the best Japanese in Melbourne. I quite often eat at 5 star restaurants around the world and this place would beat some of those places hands down.Good quality fishFantastic presentationOutstanding customer serviceKeep it up guys ill be back very soon.

Stumbled upon this place by chance the other day and I'm glad I did. Amazingly authentic Japanese dishes that are great as meals, shared dishes or with a drink. Having lived in Japan for 5 years I'd struggled to find a good authentic restaurant in Melbourne, yet alone Ivanhoe but this place is as good as it comes. Oden is one soul food dish which I'd especially been missing and feared I'd never find in Aus so I'm over the moon to finally have a place close by that offers this. The Karaage is also far superior to any other Melbourne restaurant that I've tried. The owners are lovely and the tastes of the dishes are exquisite. Will be coming here from now on and hope to dine in after lockdown!

We had a fantastic time here! The food was wonderful and so was the service. This tiny place is infinitely superior to the two Japanese restaurants in the main Ivanhoe shopping strip, IMO. Those places are both a bit old and staid, something this wonderful place is not. What they do here in a very compact space is amazing. It’s a serious hidden gem. We had a range of dishes - see photos - and they were all delicious. My highlights were the sashimi, the soft shell crab and the kingfish collar. The desserts are innovative too especially the green tea brûlée! The service throughout was utterly charming and efficient. The whole thing is a reminder of dining in Japan itself. One tip: make sure you book like we did as this is not a large restaurant. Do not miss it here. It’s a fabulous experience!————————Loved it so much we came back again a week later. We had a few things we didn’t have the first time including spicy edamame, tuna tartare, dumplings, oysters and some drinks we didn’t have the first time. Absolutely delicious again with impeccable service again. It’s our new favourite place!!
I like to move it!

Great flavours, the dishes were beautifully designed. There aren't many tables so you may need to book ahead if you don't get there early. The food was perfectly made, we tried a variety of Japanese foods with a guest from Japan and he approved this is authentic food. The staff were very polite, the place is very clean, has a disabled toilet and also child seat too.Recommended.

An outstanding dining experience! I could tell the restaurant was authentic Japanese from the attitude of the staff and the presentation of the dishes. Every dish we ordered stood out from the fresh ingredients used to the delicious unami flavours. Arigato owners and staff, brilliant job!

Fantastic atmosphere, loving the choice of music. We found ourselves grooving along to it many time lol. The staff are just great, fun, attentive and constantly smiling. The food was good when compared to the pricing which was reasonable. Loved the hot pot and must say the sashimi hit the spot. A great venue to go to for an affordable Japanese experience. Enjoy xxx
