I had a lovely experience at this Japanese restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to catch up with friends. One of the highlights was the lack of wait time — we were seated right away, which is always a plus. The noise level was just right; we could have a proper conversation without having to raise our voices, which can be rare in busy places. As for the food — everything was fresh and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality in each dish. The only downside was the pricing, which was on the higher side, but given the overall experience, it still felt worth it. Definitely a spot I’d return to for a relaxed and tasty meal.

Have walked past Izakaya Hosaku so many times and always wanted to try it. Service was amazing, all the staff were super lovely and communicative. Cocktails were fantastic! The food was delicious and arrived promptly after ordering. Some items a little on the expensive side but all very yummy. Will definitely return!

Nice little restaurant in the city, food is good and they have good happy hour drink specials if you arrive before 7pm. It is a very small store though and we were seated next to the toilet. Food was good but I felt slightly overpriced for the quality/quantity.

Attentive and friendly service; food was fresh, tasty and good quality (sashimi, chicken karaage). Atmosphere could be improved - the front door wouldn't close properly which made the seating area drafty and cold. We left to go have dessert elsewhere because of this. Toilet floor was wet with puddles, which was unappealing

Some of the best Japanese we've had for a long time. Very good quality and freshness. Every dish we had was beautifully presented and perfectly executed. An absolute pleasure to eat this menu, we will be back regularly! Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu! But will be almost impossible to pass on the Deluxe Sashimi Box, it was stunning! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice venue tucked away in a quieter part of Melbourne CBD We ordered a sushi plate, tuna tartare and the wagyu fried rice with bone marrow to share between two. There was a Sunday surcharge of 10% - bill ended up being ~$100 not including drinks Service was quick and the staff were very attentive.
