Hakone Japanese Restaurant and Fusion

First time here and it was so good! My partner and his family love this place so we went there for my partners bday! The food was great, price was amazing and atmosphere was also amazing. However, the was only one waitress on tonight (a Friday night) and it was quite busy. She was AMAZING though! She came in and checked on us, food wasn’t slow and she was always accessible if we needed something. She was super lovely, however she was running around and I just wanted give the poor thing a hug and some help. Didn’t catch her name but she definitely deserves a pay rise 😉😉

We had a $79 4 course meal through Scoopon and it was very worth it! The sashimi, sushi and in general the fish was very good and tasted fresh. I'd highly recommend the eye fillet steak, very tender steak with a great light sauce.

Only downside is there was only one server and it was a pretty busy Thursday night. It took a while for them to take our order and get dessert. The server was very nice though.

I'd also say dessert was a bit on the disappointing side, the chocolate cake honestly was very similar to those mud cakes you get at coles/woolies, and the ice cream was average.

But overall it was a good experience, the stars of the show were definitely the sashimi/sushi platter, appetizer and eye fillet main.

We went there for pre Valentine's Day dinner and absolutely loved it !!! 4 course meal deal was at crazy bargain price, each dish was creative and well-presented, also staff was very friendly. Really impressive for a small restaurant like this ! Salmon carpaccio is a MUST, BYO is a bonus 😍

Went with a group of 9 people, we all ordered the share menu B plus some additional sides. Food was amazing and fresh. Big serves. All left very full and satisfied, even gave us takeaway containers for the left overs. Would recommend 100%

excellent meals and quality ingredients were used throughout all our 9 dishes. We orded to share so we get to try out different dishes between 5 of us. We saw some people ordered one dish each for themselves and that's all they ate for the entire dinner. I would think that Asian food culture has been around in Melbourne for more than two hundred years and by now, the people should know how to eat Asian food the way it should be eaten, like how they do it in Asia. Can't really call Melbourne a multicultural city yet, can we ?

Back to the food, very well executed and we all enjoyed the dinner and will be back to try out other dishes. Surprised the restaurant wasn't full and it ought to be.

The food here was delicious with the Eye Fillet being the stand out over the mini sushi rolls, Yakitori and Sweet Potato Croquettes.
Dined here on a Tuesday night and almost all tables were taken (which is a great sign).
The service was good and the price was fair for the great quality of food.
I look forward to returning.

The food is amazing. Eye fillet has melted in mouth, very testy. Carpaccio with salmon and avocado is perfect absolutely. Staff is very friendly and professional. Waiting to visit again soon. Thank you .Its were
