Great Japanese Restaurant in Hamilton CBD.
Just walked in without expecting anything but this place was pretty great.
The portions were a lot bigger than I expected especially the grilled tepanyaki meal thingy.
Keen to go again to try more food.
Really great. Fantastic service. Creative and tasty food. Good mix of different and alternative food and food for those who like to play it safe. Really fun place to go with friends or a great place for a fun date.
Enjoyed the food here. We ordered the bento boxes which has a wide selection of food. We also ordered a lot of the small side dishes which were also very tasty and cheap.
I've never described customer service as gracious, but that's exactly what you get here. The waiter is so attentive and hospitable, making you feel completely at home. They were perfectly understanding when I asked for my fish cooked (as I am pregnant and can't eat raw sadly) and everything was so beautifully presented. Loved it.
Service is always good and efficient. Their sushi always tastes fresh and hot dishes consistently good everytime we eat here. Menu is good too. We have young children and at times have had to change their orders not long after placing them. We also ask that the kids food be served as soon as practical. The staff have always been accomodating.
nice food and price，we order medium sashimi combo that includes 20piece.It is very fresh and large. sushi combo is various and delicious，also the dinner box is amazing.
This is one of my favorite restaurants to eat at.
The food is always so fresh and the byo is great when it's girls night outs. The waiter/waitresses are always friendly.
I really appreciate the location of the restaurant and how easily accessible it is, and the interiors of the place is quite attractive, it gave a sense of Japanese hospitality, unlike most overblown Asian restaurants. The staff were quite polite and attentive as well.
For the food:
we had the takoyaki which was fairly good -slightly crispy merging towards the soft saucy insides and then the chewy octopus.
The Steamed gyoza wasn't very appealing, it lacked consistency and was rather bland in taste, even with the provided sauce.
The fried oysters were a bit empty, there was too much crumb and batter that the insides were quite hollow.
The teriyaki salmon was a bit over cooked and dry but was well compensated by their teriyaki sauce
The chilli fish was quite good, well cooked with even flavours throughout every bite.
Their steamed rice was perfect, it holds and pushes your appetite throughout the meal.
Amazing! Perfection! Beautiful service, incredible food, huge portions..and so affordable! Thank you so much- we'll be back again and often 👏👏
Awesome food, great portion size, and price to match. Authentic Japanese and fantastic service!
My partner and I will definitely be going again when we're in the area next
Great restaurant. Very beautiful. Be quiet. The food is also very good. We like it very much.
The owners of the restaurant are an elderly couple cook every dish. It's a bit of a wait, but the taste is worth it. Their fried food is so authentic that it's definitely worth trying
We have dined in most restaurants in Hamilton and tonight we dined at Shinjuku and it is a 10/10 rating from us. The food is authentic and superbly cooked. All 6 dishes that we had were exquisitive and could not be faulted. Small quiet restaurant, service was outstanding, and we talked to the elderly owner who is also the chef and we knew instantly that his cooking skills were masterful, hence the extraordinary food. There was only 1 dessert on the menu, but you didnt need any other choices, because the fried banana with green tea ice cream was amazing! Try it, you wont be disappointed! We will be back and will bring more friends with us! Arigatō Shinjuku
Tasty food. Nice atmosphere.
Very polite staff member.
Keen to try more of the dishes.
Thank you, see you next time!
First timer there and we’re so impressed with the meals. Very good food with reasonable price!! Prawn tempura is a must order as a side. It’s very light and crunchy but not oily at all. 🍤
My first Japanese restaurant experience and it was great 👍
Awesome selection and helpful waiter. Managed to catch a Gyarados too IYKYK
Awesome food. Fast service. Best Japanese restaurant I've been to in Hamilton and very reasonably priced. Yum!!
Very delicious and authentic Japanese food! Ordered the eel that comes with chicken katsu & tempura and special bento with salmon sushi & sashimi & prawn tempura. Savoured every mouthful! Highly recommended and well worth the wait. Great ambience as well. Love the Japanese musical instrument’s rendition of the Beatles’ classics.
Good food, specially niguiri sushi and sashimi.
The price is good too.
Some of the best food I've had in my entire life. I order here frequently because I can't get enough. The portion sizes are perfect and the flavors of every dish are fantastic. Service also never misses a beat.
