One of Hamiltons hidden gems. Tucked away on victoria street lies I Japanese cafe.

Chose the gyoza which are massive and pretty tasty.

Main was the karaage yakasoba. My goto for this place perfectly fried chicken on noodles. Try it out.

Food is fast and staff are lovely

Absolutely beautiful Japanese food, probably the best casual Japanese restaurant I’ve ever had. Everything on their menu is fantastic and so well-priced. Just wish they were open more!

Excellent quality of foods for lunch. This restaurant is always busy between 12 pm and 1 pm. So booking a table may be necessary. Highly recommend for informal dining with family and friends.

I Japanese is always a go to option for lunch when I visit the fam in Hamilton. Their menu is pretty affordable and the quality never wavers.

I ordered salmon sashimi with a side of rice. It was surprising how much salmon I received for $12 having ordered the smallest platter. It was fresh and well presented with a serving of soy sauce and Wasabi as condiments.

We also ordered their classic teriyaki chicken donburi which is so worth it for the price and filling. They don't skimp on meat, that's for sure.

We also got the teriyaki tofu set, a lovely combo set with buttery tofu, rice, salad and a potato croquette. The tofu has a wonderful buttery glaze on it and sizzles away when you receive it so you have time to eat the other parts of the dish as it cools.

We also got the deep fried tofu side and renkon chips to complement our choices. Overall, I highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a good quality, clean and satisfying meal. It gets very busy during lunchtime so it's good to call and reserve seats.

Really enjoyed my terryaki chicken!! Very well marinated chicken, and taste like good cut of chicken! Good sitting, I got extra terryaki as advised to get when a bit more hungrier than usual. Way better than katsubi donburi that kind of tastes artificial to me. Really enjoyed my miso soup as well

Absolutely love this place! The Chicken Teryaki Donburi and miso soup is absolutely delicious. Been here many many times and the food is always perfect as expected. Although the service is a bit slow most times, even when I would ring and order 10 mins before, the service still takes the amount of time if I were to order it there. But other then that, I think this place is amazing.

I regularly come to this place and my goodness this place never ceases to amaze me. The service is always outstanding, food is definitely so delicious as always & atmosphere is just superb. Very welcoming. I cannot even find one fault when I come here at all which is so hard for me to say because you just feel so welcomed. The staff (especially the owner) will go over and above to make you feel at ease particularly when you wanna try different meals on the menu. Meals are decently priced not too expensive nor too cheap & quality is way above standard. It’s a really popular place to go for a meal so you better get in quick otherwise you will miss out on the experience this place offers. Booking is super easy if you have a crowd with you but overall, by far, the most best place to come to in Hamilton if you want to try authentic Japanese cuisine. Thank you very much i Japanese Cafe! I love yous! ☺️

The staff are friendly and the food is very good. The teriyaki chicken had a savory smell and was even more delicious.

Had the salmon sashimi with teriyaki and the chicken katsu with beef curry. The former was a bit heavy on the salt (MSG or too much soy sauce maybe?), While the latter was not bad with low amount of breading seen on the katsu (points for using thigh meat!) Service was nice!

Looking for Lunch location while visiting Hamilton? Then you should definitely consider this Cafe. We ordered chicken curry and Teriyaki and tempura set. Both comes with salad and miso soup. Curry added with beef and make it taste unique. Tempura were nicely done and teriyaki chicken was nicely grilled.
