Best Japanese Speciality Restaurants in Mount Waverley

I was very disappointed with the service that day. I had requested a birthday cake celebration for my partner, but in the end, nothing was served. It turned out that due to a mistake by one of the staff members, the cake was served to another table. What made the situation worse was that although the staff realized the mistake, no one took action to make it right. My partner felt very sad because of this.

Great experience for our first omakase. All the ingredients paired so well together and were so fresh. Would definitely be back for the dinner service.

We had a wonderful birthday dinner at Izakaya Chouchou. We chose the “Chef Feed Me” course, which delighted us with both its generous portions and exceptional flavors. The cuisine is a perfect fusion of Japanese and Western styles, offering a range of exciting and beautifully presented dishes. The sushi and sashimi platter was outstanding—fresh, vibrant, and artfully arranged. I especially loved the grilled eggplant, which had a beautifully crisp skin and soft, tender flesh. The dessert boat was both adorable and delicious, adding a playful and satisfying finish to the meal. Every course brought delightful surprises, making the entire dining experience truly joyful. The service was exceptional—the owner personally explained each dish with care and passion, helping us appreciate the thought and craft behind the food. A heartfelt touch was the birthday message for my son displayed on the wall, which made the evening feel even more special and warm. I highly recommend Izakaya Chouchou for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience filled with flavor, care, and hospitali

The food and service was outstanding from start to finish!
