While you sit inside the restaurant, there are a lot of takeaway orders being done as well. Turnover is also quite fast so I've never had to wait for a table here despite the small sized restaurant. I was recommended by my friend to have the sushi here. The first time I went, my family wanted hot food so we ended up not ordering any sushi and I was slightly underwhelmed. After this first visit, I decided I'd follow my friends advice and ordered sushi and sashimi and it did not disappoint! I highly recommend their Grilled Salmon Roll, Grilled Salmon Nigiri, Sashimi, Fresh Salmon Roll with Avocado and their special rolls. The salmon is always very fresh, and their portion sizes for the salmon on the sushi is quite a generous ratio. Their prices are very decent, I've never had to pay over $20pp for a very decent feed. I highly recommend this place, especially if you're after good sushi or sashimi!

I decided on something healthy for lunch and quickly searched for some well rated eateries. Kanzo is a small local restaurant with limited tables seated both inside and out. Saturday lunch time it was busy but not too bad, service we adequate, but to be honest with these prices for Japanese food it's to be expected. I decided on the sashimi bento box, since I've been craving fresh fish lately. The bento box was generously portioned, on the left was 4 slices of fresh salmon, sliced prawn and what I assume is tuna, doused in sesame sauce on a bed of freshly grated cabbages and carrots. I just love sesame sauce do it was easily appreciated. On the right was 4 slices of fresh salmon and two slices of tuna, with an accompaniment of customary ginger and wasabi on the side. The fish was decent, not exceptionally fresh but still good. The bento came with a bowl of rice and a miso soup. Overall I was quite satisfied, quality was fine and the price was good for the food that I got. Service was a bit slow but it's to be expected at these busy small locals. I will come again if I'm after cheap Japanese.

Delicious authentic ramen. The servings are quite big and would be good for sharing. We also had the tempura and avo roll which tasted so fresh! read more Delicious authentic ramen.
