‘From the sushi bar at the rear of this elegant but minimalist designed establishment to the private rooms, Hanabishi is always packed with those in the know about good Japanese food - business suits during the day, and a more relaxed crowd at night. There is no specialty here that rises above the others except the sashimi/sushi that vies for the crown of the best in town ... they are all exemplary for the cuisine, but the daily specials really shine for their difference and pure flavours. Lunch boxes provide a great insight but lack the excitement of the menu, so go a la carte when you can, and discover some gems.
The wine list is surprising - it offers some good bottles but lacks varietal range and suitability to cuisine ... and is expensive in Melbourne terms.’
