Shonan Kamakura - Melbourne

Shonan Kamakura is a little cosy Japanese restaurant located on Katherine pl. It has a nice wall painting with seatings along a large glass wall. The food in general is really good and authentic. The highlight of our meal has got to be the Nasu Dengaki, which is a toasted eggplant with miso paste. The Hotate Tataki (seared scallop) is also another must-try. The staff was friendly and service was fast.

Shonan Kamakura is a cosy, newly opened Japanese restaurant tucked in the foodie area of Southern Cross, that is Katherine Place. With so many high quality Japanese restaurants in Melbourne, Shonan Kamakura fills a niche in between cheap don-like Japanese meals, and high end Japanese fine dining. With lovely interior design, and a classic, Japanese izakaya-like dinner menu that is relatively affordable, Shonan Kamakura is a hidden gem for those looking for a quiet, romantic date night!

Shonan Kamakura is an izakaya-style establishment located in Melbourne’s bustling CBD, dedicated first and foremost to the art of Japanese eating and drinking, offering a laid back environment for catching up with friends and family with a focus on quality food designed to share in comfortable surroundings.

Iv never bothered to do a review but tonight it's an exception as had a feel-good dinner here tonight with my missus. The place was cozy with warm lighting really good for dates. Foods were much better than I expected. I can taste the Teriyaki Salmon was fresh and brilliant with different hints of flavours! Ramen was above average. Chicken Karaage was flavoursome and freshly fried, no yucky or boring bits! The Japanese waitress were polite and attentive. When you take into consideration the environment, the price and the foods, I think it's one of the best place out there.

Ooooo... the tuna katsu... yums... crispy crumbs, melts in your mouth. Also the assorted tempura yums... the amount given is value for money. Sure to return for more.
