Food came out fast, and the service was great. But the table setting was too tight

We had a wonderful dinner at Shou Sumiyaki. The wagyu was beautifully marbled, tender and full of flavour, and grilling it over the charcoal at our table made the meal feel special. Everything arrived well presented, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout. They explained the menu clearly and checked in at the right times without interrupting our meal. The restaurant had a warm, comfortable atmosphere that made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening. It’s a great place to go with friends or for a special dinner. We left very happy and would definitely return for the wagyu and the overall experience.

We had such a lovely experience. It was my friend and I’s first time dining at Tsuru and our waitress was so helpful with helping us decide what to order. Not only was she great but provided us amazing customer service and definitely made the experience! Will be back :)

Honestly can’t tell you which was my favourite dish because every single course smashed it out of the park. This was the most memorable dining experience I’ve had in a Melbourne restaurant and am looking forward to many more visits in the future.

Amazing food and even better vibes! The interior feels like you’ve been transported back to Japan in the 90’s, and even the soundtrack was perfect.
