Koto Sanpo

Finally Elizabeth Arcade is back to life! So happy with Koto Sanpo. Their teriyaki chicken, salmon and namban chicken bento 🍱 were delicious. Love the addition of really fresh sashimi, agedashi tofu, tamago, tempura prawn, miso soup with every bento. Their omu rice range is my absolute favourite! Took me back to Japan 🍲 Their matcha desserts though.. amazing!! Big love for the parfait, matcha parfait pearls and anmitsu. 🍵🍰 Love their matcha softserve, matcha latte, watermelon matcha drink, matcha yuzu, the sweetened matcha (with just enough sweetness) drinks. Ps their "pork ginger set" is only served on weekdays and it is so delicious! Customer service was friendly, efficient and attentive too. Honestly can't fault this restaurant :)

10/10 my go to Udon in the CBD I always order the tempura Udon & my favourite part is the kakiage topping but sometimes they don't include it - I'm told it depends on the delivery. It's a bit disappointing when they don't have it so make sure to ask first! The omurice is amazing, it's very creamy and delicious, if you're a fan of eggs you'll love this dish, it works well for any meal of the day! The icecream float drinks are really delicious, the icecream is sooo yummy but it's definitely more of a dessert than a drink to pair with food - the other drinks are all quite unique & worth a try!

Ordered a Pork Katsu and Chicken Kaarage Lava Omurice - the meat was good; crispy, tender and tasty - felt the rice wasn’t as flavorful. Egg was creamy and soft, Demi glaze was decent, but could use more Unami. Overall atmosphere is quite nice. Staff are friendly too. There is also a 1% surcharge on cards!

Good place to have modern Japanese dishes. I quite like their iced matcha latte with kokuto jelly and yuzu matcha which are very very refreshing. The restaurant could be busy during meal times so be prepared to wait before getting seated. Restaurant closes between 2:30pm-5:30pm. Pay cash can save you 1% card surcharge.

One of my favourite places to go for a good Japanese omurice🌟 Cozy atmosphere with lovely staff who are friendly and very fast service. I ordered the pork katsu lava omurice and it was lovely. The demi glaze sauce is so good and wanted to try the cream sauce but sadly a few menu items were sold out and/or unavailable. Will definitely be back to try the other meals and desserts!

We came here with a group of 7 on a Thursday evening. We noticed that there were some items on the menu not being offered anymore due to staffing shortages, including many of the signature dessert options, which was quite disappointing. Half of us ordered the salmon Bento Box and the other half ordered the lava omurice. I ordered the salmon. The salmon Bento Box was presented with two slices of raw salmon, one grilled salmon fillet, tofu, miso soup and some other smaller side portions. There was certainly a variety of ingredients and extra effort was made to make the Bento Box look presentable. The salmon fillet was overcooked and dry, which was quite unfortunate. Everything else was satisfactory. Portion sizes were as expected and price-wise it was also reasonable. In previous times when I tried out the chicken lava omurice, I found the meat slightly dry but the sauce from the omurice was able to balance the meat to a certain extent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was kept clean and tidy. Closest parking would probably be Myer centre so if you're dining at night you might want to book earlier to save a bit in parking. Alternatively, you can park at King George Square for $5 (night rates) and walk over. PS. This place is also famous for its matcha green tea ice cream so those of you who love green tea ice cream, give this place a go!
