Kaneda - Melbourne

I recently dined at this cozy restaurant located in the Mid City arcade and was impressed by the quality and affordability of the menu. The sashimi was fresh and delicious, the bento box offered a satisfying dinner portion, and the beef dish was especially tasty. The restaurant has both a large table for bigger groups and smaller tables for groups of four. The staff were friendly and provided prompt service. I appreciated that they accept efpos payments and offer takeaway containers for a minimal charge of 50 cents. I would definitely return to this restaurant in the future.

Here we have the Zaru soba with tempura and Tama unadon. Food was delicious and was affordable. The eel fried rice had a lot of flavours and soba noodles was cooked well. Friendly service and will definitely come back!

Food Came here for dinner using Zomato Gold and we had the sliced beef on rice and also seafood butter fried rice. My partner liked the beef and it was tasty. I liked my fried rice and you could see pieces of salmon in it with roe topping.<br/ <br/ Service The waitress who served us was friendly and explained which dishes were allowed under Zomato Gold. A bit disappointed that the bento boxes were not included but there were many other options to choose from. <br/ <br/ Ambience A cute little eatery situated in Midcity and had Japanese influenced decor. Did feel like you could pass being in Japan while in there. <br/ <br/ Overall, it was a good experience. <br/ <br/ Follow for more reviews!<br/

Great food for how cheap it was! We had the Takoyaki balls, the crab croquettes, prawn maki and california maki roll and more. All were great. Only down fall would be the restaurant didn't look appealing. If it wasn't recommended to us in the first place it's not somewhere I would have thought to go to.
