Food was amazing! Service was great. They even gave us free Mayo!
Beautiful food....one of my fave Japanese restaurants in Geelong !
Great food and excellent service! Will definitely be back again
really chill vibes with lots of options on the menu! great place for sharing!
very cramped. I should have researched better as took my elderly parents. Food very traditional
This is a great little venue, casual food is great at a very reasonable price
Good service. Great food. Seating (backless stools) could be a bit uncomfortable for people with back problems. We will definitely be back!
It was perfect. 1st timers. Will be coming back. Thanks.

Service is always very quick and the food is always enjoyable
We had a lovely dinner here last night with quick service and the staff were very friendly. Our recommendations are, Agedashi Tofu, Goma Nasu, Unagi Kabayaki and Karaage Chicken.
Good, quick, friendly service; interesting and delicious food; busy and a lovely atmosphere with diners of all ages.
The food was delicious and a very good vibe about the place
The food was delicious and the service was promptly delivered.
I've been there before when it was busy and the atmosphere was much nicer, but tonight we were on our own in the restaurant and it was a completely different feel. We had booked a table for 5 and they put us on the smaller table set which wasn’t big enough for the dishes they were rushing out of the kitchen. Wait staff also did not clear empty dishes before trying to put new dishes on the table, and in a restaurant that was empty, still felt the need to reach across us rather than move to the other side to serve dishes/drinks while we were trying to eat our food. The feeling tonight was very low standard cafe style dining and was a big disappointment. The food was also not good at all. The sashimi was fishy and not fresh, and the tempura was all batter and over cooked. I left feeling embarrassed and disappointed that I had recommended the restaurant for dinner.
Food was excellent and quick to arrive which was good as we were going to a comedy show after dinner. Is loud there when full and can be hard to here the people you are with.
Great food in presentation, quantity and taste. We’ll be back
Was expecting much more than I got and felt let down. Beer and Sake perfect! However, Ebi prawn tasted out of frozen pack - bland and disappointing. Salmon sashimi chewy and therefore not as fresh or prepared properly. Kingfish sashimi better but not really fresh enough.
Perfect - as always! Great food at affordable prices in a wonderful atmosphere.
The food and service is stunning! All of the food coming out at the same time.... I don’t like. Would be nice if meals were staggered.
Atmosphere was good, music was a bit loud (all I could hear was the beat). Could have done with a bit more elbow room - customers were a bit close together. Food was excellent and serving sizes were just right.
Food was delicious. Service was fast and efficient. Will definitely return
Food quality and taste was exceptional, though the portions were small, especially for the sashimi and karaage chicken. Takoyaki and scallops highly recommended. Best Japanese in Geelong by far.
Amazing food, fantastic service & really fast! Was a little too noisy for conversation
Best Japanese food I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant and I can’t wait to return.
Thanks for a great evening with friends for mum wifes birthday
Warm welcome Helpful staff Great food Excellent Value Relaxing Atmosphere
A little annoying that we had to move tables half way through our meal to accomodate 3 other diners that didn't even say thanks!
cute little izakaya, great food, quick service, good value for money.
Cannot tell you how good the food is and is a delight on the palate too.
I attended with my family 3 children 15,13,11. Excellent food great choice for all the family Great atmosphere The only very small elements that tarnished the experience, would be:- the tables were very sticky and we felt pressured to make a decision with the menu quickly. We will definitely come back.
overall great food, great costumer service, and great value for your money. thanks!
Good selection and a few nice dishes, 3.5 out of 5
Great food, great service. Only down side was the music blaring from the bluetooth speaker. Had to ask a couple of times for it to be moved to the other end of the bar. We eventually moved to another table so that solved things. Overall a great night!
Pretty useless service, waiters don’t know how to communicate properly. Bowls weren’t clean, had to use a napkin to clean up the dust, pretty disgusting. At the end, we went up to pay, and she asked “How was everything”, we kindly said something along the lines of “It wasn’t that great”, she didn’t even say anything, just smiled and continued to bill us. Ridicules how much it costed for very few things, wasn’t very good, the meat was pretty cold and disgusting, but the Tofu was great. Only reviewing because of the staff, they’re kind and oblivious and pathetic, good restaurant though. Also, what I’ve rated at the bottom, is 100% incorrect, it’s glitched out, can’t seem to change it, so ignore the numbers /6, instead I’ll write them below. Overall visit 3/6 Food 3/6 Atmosphere 4/6 Service 2/6 Value 1/6 Waiting times 4/6 (Food wasn’t that great though). Noise (If you go at a busy time, 3/6).
Definitely a high class quality of food. The Tastes and the combination is beautiful!
Went for lunch delicious food....Gotza were great ! Friendly service 👍
loved everything 😍 the food, the service & the atmosphere
Beautiful food, plenty of GF and Veg options, great service, very well priced. Would definitely recommend to others who are looking for casual dining in Geelong.
Fantastic food as always. Kitchen is very quick even when very busy. Delicious! Great place for dinner before seeing a show at GPAC. Love eating on Lt Malop Street.
We had The Lunch special Bento boxes. They were delicious. Lunch was served in a timely fashion & staff were polite. We got a window seat and got to watch the passing parade down Little Malop Street. This area is so vibrant. We will come back soon to try something else.
Had a fabulous meal with a wonderful friend. Menu is amazing. The food is even better!! Love the lotus chips. Will be back that’s for sure.
Really enjoyed Tomodachi - Izakaya & Bar. Great menu and atmosphere, amazing food and the staff were all wonderful. Will definitely be going back again soon.
It's a tiny dining space, but the staff were attentive, the food was great. Good selection of dishes and plenty of drink options. Scallops were very good.
