Japan Inn - Cheltenham

I have read the scathing reviews for this lovely neighbourhood restaurant and can't believe they are talking about the same place that we regularly eat at. The service might not be what you get in a top city restaurant, but it is always friendly. The gyoza are among the best in Melbourne and all dishes are tasty, well cooked and beautifully presented. On top of all that it is great value.

Food is really good! Especially the nigiris and teriyaki beef was perfect! Only negative thing was the music. They had one song in a loop and it gets annoying after awhile.

This has always been a second home to me very local and delicious authentic Japanese cuisine! Some of the best you'll find! (stole these pics from dad)

We absolutely love dining at this restaurant! The food is always delicious, with great quality and value for money. Sometimes the service can be a bit slow when it’s busy, but it is definitely worth the wait.

The food was excellent, the service was great, and the ambiance was wonderful. My husband, our friends, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment at this restaurant.
