Shiranui - City of Knox

We ordered takeaway from this Japanese restaurant. The place has bar and normal seating inside . <br/ <br/ We ordered the chicken katsu bento which came with a generous amount of sides. The pasta was light and the seaweed salad was full of flavour. The rice itself was well flavoured and surprisingly had bits of meat mixed inside. The katsu was well battered wand crisp but the bottom half was slightly soggy haven't being left on the shredded cabbage

We come here to celebrate our birthdays nearly every year. What a great restaurant. The food literally melted in your mouth. Very pricey but totally worth it!!

Shira Nui provides an authentic sushi-ya experience just as you would find had you walked in from the streets of Tokyo. The Chirashi lunch special is the highest quality at an absolute steal, whilst the chefs omakase is the perfect special occasion meal. Read the blog to find out more.

Been to a number of spots in Melbourne that do omakase and can confidently say that this is the best one to date! Not only do you get one piece per fish, you get two whole pieces per fish for pretty much the same set menu price at any other omakase. <br/ <br/ My favourite was the first fish (can’t remember what type) but love it when certain cuts are seasoned with just a bit of salt or yuzu. So simple yet so flavoursome. The aburi pieces are good too but nothing outstanding. Was my first time eating eel as a nigiri piece and enjoyed it. However that cheesy oyster it’s a no from me. Worth trying, but I would not be ordering that as an extra piece. <br/ <br/ Chefs were friendly, attentive and patient while I took a photo of each serving before savouring; our plates were frequently changed too, which I appreciate so much!!! (no doubt a clean plate free of sauce or leftover rice photographs way better). I’m glad the chef took notice of how quickly I went through the ginger on my plate and generously topped up. Highly recommend this place; worth the travel and hope to come back soon.

There is a reason why you need to book ahead, and every seating seems to be full. You know what to expect, and you are never disappointed.
