Out of the way and non-descript. This place offers lots of food for relatively cheap. There is a feeling of school/church hall about the place, and it's tightly packed. Try anything other than Sushi; which is possibly some of the worst I've sampled.

Sashimi isn't bad, nor is the rest of the fare.

Approximate cost: $28

Maybe you went on a bad night, because I would say this is the best sushi I have ever had!

Food was very ordinary, sure there was heaps of it, but no quality.
Service difficult to get and being squashed in like a sardine was not a pleasant experience. Surely there must be Health and Safety issues with number of people squeezed into small area. Nobody could walk between the tables and food had to be handed from table to table to reach us. Pay more money elsewhere if necessary, or I know better for less, and get away from this chaos!

Had high expectations after reading some good reviews but didn't really find anything that fantastic about the place. The sushi was pretty poor, didn't exactly taste fresh. Just seemed very western, could of got the same type of food at a food court.

All you can eat.

Beef salad is the best dish I had there. Plenty variation of food are served. The service is good too. The only bad thing from this store is the location is a bit far away from where I live. However after dinner, It will be worth it

The service is pretty good. The waiter was very friendly and helpful.
All you can eat for $28 per head, with a variety of delicious dishes. Also includes dessert and fruits. Tempura and beef salad is delicious.

I've been going to J's for a while and have seen the place steadily declining!

Since they've expanded the restaurant they have increased their pricing AND taken items off the 'all you can eat menu'.

They are also rationing some items, I asked for an extra serve of Gyoza and was told there was a limit of one per table (there were six of us at the table!)...doesn't sound like 'all you can eat' does it?

Also they charged extra for the green tea ice cream which used to be included.

the food itself is always good with the exception of sushi that's been sitting in the fridge a bit too long.

Possibily the last time I go there.

Approximate cost: $28 per person

We had read all the good ratings on WOMOW and decided to check it out ourselves. The restaurant is very non-descript and don't expect any fancy decor.

We thought we would order a large range of different dishes between the 4 of us to get a real feel for it. I have to say that every single dish we ordered was delicious!! We had Sushi, Sashimi and California rolls (these are not like the dry boring ones you get at a shopping centre). We then had Tempura Prawns (yum) followed by a beef salad with sesame dressing that was extremely tasty. We then had some Gyu Don (beef) and Teriyaki Don (chicken).

We had definitely over-ordered but we ate every last bit because it was so nice, and the food worked out to less than $20 per head - amazing! Then they offered us some free (that's right free!) vanilla and green-tea ice-cream, some seasonal fruit and a bowl of lollies. Such a rare thing to be given something for free these days.

More restaurants should learn from these guys, that a lot of goodwill can be gained by giving something that doesn't cost you much away for free. We will be taking our kids back with us next time cos it seems to be very family friendly. You would be wise to book because it was practically full on a Wednesday night.

Approximate cost: $10

I don't know how these guys do it at the price. I feel really bad when paying the bill, like I've ripped them off! The food is sensational. Highly recommend the beef salad. Other comments about the sushi and sushimi being pre made are harsh - you can't expect them to be made on order in such a busy place, otherwise you wouldn't get your meal within 5 or 10 minutes like you do. They make it fresh that morning.

It's small but they have now bought the shop next and expanded, so much better now. I can't fault this place for value and service, and the quality of the food is outstanding at the price. Yum.

Approximate cost: $6-$12

My family (and now my boyfriends family) love this place! Book ahead. The all you can eat is value for money if you have a big appetite. Otherwise if we are going as a group we order a bunch of different dishes and share! Brought out quickly and you can order as you go. A fun night out.
