Kanda Japanese Restaurant - Melbourne

Lovely resturant, great food. We had a 40 dollar banquet which was very nice. Very generous. Could not finish the last course.

We visited with a couple of family members for a casual dinner and it was fine. The sushi is quite good, but the bowls were pretty bland and cooked without any real care. Kanda is fine for a quick bite, but set your expectations low.

It’s a bare pass at best, we think. On the good side, the place is nicely and pleasantly fitted out. Service was lovely throughout from the female server here too. Prices seem very reasonable as well. But, we thought there were negatives that we just couldn’t overlook here. My seafood bento was pretty ordinary. I’d describe the food as a bit stodgy throughout and middling in quality. I struggled to finish it, a very unusual situation for me. My partner had the same difficulty with her bento box. We found the experience quite disappointing and would struggle to find a reason to return, we think.

Fresh Japanese food plenty of variety lovely service and good COVIDSafe management made for a very enjoyable family birthday lunch.A simple cafe but a lovely experience.And no issues with a brought from home birthday cake

Set on the main strip of Ivanhoe, this is a great little Japanese restaurant. Will you walk out being blown away? No, not at all. But it's well priced, decent portions (gyozas are a hit), with friendly service. Definitely worth a shot, even though it's got some strong competition around it.
