The Modern Eatery

Wow! Japanese treats with a twist towards the modern palate. I have eaten here several times. Very popular with young couples. Funky vibe. Super friendly staff.

Menu is confusing and inflexible.
Food was also pretty meh given it's price point.
Will not be going back.

Don't think I've ever had a bad meal here! During my most recent visit, we had the share menu (for 2) for $59 and loved everything! Sadly, the new special menu item - the ramen - was salty and quite disappointing. I have loved everything I've ever eaten on their regular menu though! And the staff are lovely.

Food is OK. Some dishes on the salty side. Mt Lawley venue is noisy and seating arrangement could be more comfortable. Room for improvement.

Came here with two of my family members yesterday for lunch. The waitress who presented us with our menu notified us of the set menu for 2 pax at $59, which includes 5 items. The three of us initially decided to get that set menu with additional sushi rolls to complete our meal. However, when we made such order the waitress said we can't do that but to have this set menu catered to the three of us at an altered price ($59/2 x 3). Being pressured by her wait on our decision, we gave in and agreed to her recommendation. Their food was okay, however dropped in quality. They seemed to have changed the recipe for the sauce of their salmon oshi, which we did not enjoy. Their chicken tempura, although crunchy lacked flavour. Our bill totalled to >$90, which was not worth at all for the quality of food and service that we got. I do not understand the logic behind this set menu, where everyone is strictly required to participate if you are interested. We will not be back.
