Naka Naka Japanese Restaurant And Sake Bar

Me and my partner ordered a Teriyaki Udon and a chicken karaage bento box. The udon is nice and flavourful of miso and seaweed soup accompanied with some teriyaki chicken served on another plate, the chicken was a little salty but goes very well to the udon noodles and soup! It’s savoury and just satisfied my cravings. The karaage box was great, the batter was perfect with a hint of curry! How interesting! The Bento side dishes were generous and good! Pleasant experience over all. The downside is they don’t serve ramen anymore.

Decided to drop by for dinner with friends a couple of weeks ago to get a local sushi fix!Overall the fish tasted fresh and the flavours were definitely there. They are a teeny bit generous with the rice however the flavours of the fish and sauces made up for it.Only comment I could make is that they were definitely understaffed as tables were left haphazard, a lot of customers were waiting to order/pay/ they struggled to answer the phones.

Small Japanese restaurant in the Greythorn shopping area. Dishes are reasonably priced. Favourite dish of the dinner was the Aburi Salmon Nigiri. Also enjoyed the octopus balls, tofu and tempura.Least favourite dish was the Beef Teriyaki.If you like matcha, they offer a matcha platter for dessert consisting of matcha icecream, matcha cheesecake and matcha daifuku.

Went for dinner, ordered the katsu chicken bento which came with a small salad, renkon chips, edamame, potato mash, spring roll, rice and a small serve of ginger. Also ordered the takoyaki (octopus balls), okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) and soft shell crab salad. The bento box was cooked nicely, chicken was crispy and moist however needed a tonkatsu sauce, salad needed more dressing but was fresh, Edamame, potato mash and spring roll were nice. Takoyaki was nice, would have preferred bigger octopus pieces in the balls, okonomiyaki tasted exactly the same as the takoyaki, its like they used the same batter, however both still nice and the soft shell crab was nice however needed more dressing and only got 3 pieces of soft shell crab when the dish cost $9. Overall food was good however need sauce, decor and ambience was nice and service was fantastic. I hope this place can succeed.

Nice Japanese restaurant located in Balwyn! The service was great and food was excellent too. Price was just right and portion was just nice!
