Great place for a date night, cheap eats, good drinks, and friendly staff
The food was delicious but on the expensive side. it was a wonderful treat
good food with lovey vibes. interesting how you order through an iPad. quick service as dishes come out fast!
Great food and service. . Look forward to the next time.
Great value, yummy food and quick service! Will be back.
I'd rather pay more for better food. very disappointing. but staff were nice enough to comp a really bad dish
Good food but service lacking warmth and passion on the night.
Enjoyable night, great food and atmosphere. Will go back again.
I love this restaurant: the amazing food, excellent staff. And feel of a Japanese izakaya :)
Great atmosphere, great food, will come back again real soon
Always love the food here in the downstairs section, easy ordering fast efficient service
Too cold inside, they had the door wide open on a cool windy night, made it very uncomfortable. Service was a little slow. Staff are friendly
Food delicious, but very slow service, didn't clear our table.
Awesome food, the flavours and freshness in every bite was sensational
Treat of a place, would reccomend to family and friends.
Delicious food & great atmosphere. We’ve been here many times and have always had a great experience.
Food has gone downhill since Maedaya left. It’s a shame
Great food with a lively atmosphere. Limited wine list though
Love it as usual. V Always fresh and friendly service
Always a good experience at this place. Has improved a lot.
Amazing service and food!! Great value for money with the $38 all you can eat banquet
Food was great service and its a lovely little niche restuarant
Love the way you can order food using the pad. Service is prompt and cheery. Really nice food with a large selection.
Always enjoy my dining time at maedaya! Nice atmosphere! Great variety of food and drinks on menu!
It was okay, menu was limited compared to other Japanese restaurants i have been too.
Sensational feed. Great skewers and easy ordering. Go the special warm sake
It was a really nice/ fun place for a first date.
Great food.. love the savoury. But the dessert that we ordered was not as described. Will still go back, but will avoid the greasy Taiyaki
Excellent food, pleasant service, great atmosphere and decor as always.
All around excellent restaurant. Great place great food and cocktails
Great atmosphere, excellent service and food, and drinks - value for money
Favourite place! The food was delicious as always, and the ambiance and service was perfect. Thanks so much for a lovely night.
Whilst there was a good selection of dishes from the buffet menu, they were not very delicious - just average, nothing wow about it. We spent approx $200 for 4 adults and 1 child and honestly I didn't think it was value for money spent.
The menu is on an iPad so you can order at any time. The food is always great, and you can continue ordering little dishes as the meal progresses.
Was a great experience with beautiful food and plenty of it for a good price
Good food, great drink variety, fun ordering via an ipad
This place serves a wide selection of sake true to the name of it's owner Toshi Maeda who is the sake master of Australia!
Really good quality food at very reasonable prices. We Had 8 courses, only one was below average, the Osaka famous Octopus Balls. They were soggy and cold inside. Management was told. On my next return trip I was offered a replacement dish. I am going again next week, as I like the food, so I will take up the offer.
Quality of the meals and service were disappointing this time around. There were a lot less options to choose from and one of our favourite dishes - olonomiyaki was poorly prepared.
Yummy food! Love the iPad ordering service! Great value for money
Great food , quick and very friendly service . Order system is easy and fuss free. Restaurant has a bright and happy atmosphere .Highly recommended
The staff was very nice, so welcoming and fun. Its asif i was back in japan. The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. Would definitely recommend for japanese food lovers.
Food are always so good as we come here often. Drinks are a little pricey but it may compensate for the good priced food. Nice atmosphere. So will be visiting again as usual. Thank you again Maedaya!
We are locals and have been here a few times before. Food was marginal and the service terrible. Guoza were wet and soggy and other dishes very low standard and we didn’t even receive the last food order. We waited over 20mins for it but it still didn’t arrive after a number of requests. We were repeatedly told that there were “so many orders” but this was at 9.30pm and the restaurant was significantly lower in volume than when we arrived at 8.15pm. Even water was a struggle to get. Have gone many times before but we will not go back.
Great range of interesting food well cooked and reasonably priced -sake tasting plate fun Tables a little cramped in where we were .Staff very friendly
Meat quality was good for all you can eat. Shame the exhaust fan was so loud, it felt like we were yelling the whole time. Coal could have been hotter for the meat to cook faster.
Such a great place, friendly staff, delicious food, their all you can eat bbq is some of the best value food and drink! I miss this kind of option from Japan in Australia, totally recommend!
Lack of menu options, big chunks of fatty chicken instead of their small pieces, thick sushimi. Menu not as good as it used to be
Great service, everyone was friendly and the food came out quickly. The sushi is some of the best I’ve ever had, i really recommend the spicy salmon roll. It was fun to order from the iPad too. I’mo
Great food so east to order food comes quickly staff happy and friendly love the BBQ food eel was yummy and the won ton prawns were delicious
