Eis Japanese Retaurant - Melbourne

Booked a table close to the front of the restaurant near the heater on Saturday evening. Having visited Japan a couple of times, I was reasonably pleased with the traditional menu and realise that even though it is a Japanese restaurant, some people prefer a more Australian or Hong Kong version of any Asian food and this alternative was also offered.We were waited on by a lovely Asian gentleman who was probably Japanese or Korean. It's a small restaurant and he managed all the tables in a timely and very courteous manner.We chose to share everything: the Age Dashi Tofu soup was delicious as was the half cut stuffed aubergine. I can't wait to go back for those two dishes and not share them. We also chose the Edamame (soy beans) to start with and a beef & rice dish and the crispy skinned King fish at the end. Every dish was delicious but the wine was a bit over-priced. My friend had a chardonnay which she couldn't drink as it gave her a head ache straight away. Must have been a cheapie. The red was very good but I think it was $12. The total cost for the two of us was just over $100 - excellent! I am suggesting to a committee I belong to that we go there for our Christmas lunch. Hoping to have lunch there next week and try some more traditional dishes after the Age Dashi Tofu!

My fiancé and I went out for a fabulous 8 course degustation to this elegant little restaurant called EIS, my partner paid $95 and I had the extra $135 degustation with wine pairings and the food portions are most certainly worth it. My partner and I are chefs and I have to say it's hard not to pick on a place but this was outstanding and I will be back!!!Thank you for such a great night and also thank you for hands down great service!

I loved the restaurant - great service and food and not over the top price. The internals are very white and clinical. A little bit of colour and mood lighting would add substantially to the ambience.

Unpretentious, inexpensive and honest. My son wanted sushi and I found a good to the best sushi in Melbourne, here. My beef was exceptional and the sushi was wonderfully fresh. Smiles all around.

The staff are lovely but the menu is very austalianised and no where as good as the Japanese restaurant up the road. We had a chicken and duck dish that was quite expensive and came with roast potatoes and beans - meat and three veg
