I decided to try this Japanese restaurant after reading multiple excellent reviews. This place was a little find, as it was tucked away inside an arcade, but it was worth the hunt as the food was amazingly fresh, generous proportion & the flavours authentically Japanese. We ordered the bento box (tempura, sushi, creamy potato sides, soup, hamburger, tonkatsu & a... More

We have eaten here many times and have always had a good experience. It is situated in Moonah, a suburb close to the city. Good value for money and the Bento box is just about the best thing on the menu and is very authentic Japanese. The restaurant seats about 20 people so a reservation is a good idea. The... More

This is is cosy Japanese restaurant based in Dickinson's Arcade, Moonah. It's a small restaurant specialising in sushi with a dessert menu as long as your arm! They also have a number of main courses including teriyaki and bento. We visited on a Saturday and tried their sushi and sashimi platter. The presentation was ok but let down by poorly... More

This is a small family run restaurant about 10m out of Hobart in a suburb called Moonah. I have been tehre twice now. It's hard to find because its in an arcade, not visible when looking down the arcade, which is called either Dicksons or Dickensons Arcade. The prices are very low $15-$18 for a main so I assumed they... More

Went here on our 2nd night in Hobart. It's a small cosy place, with friendly service. There are tons of excellent Japanese places where we come from. Kawasemi does not have a huge menu, but since it is Japanese owned, the dishes were authentic and cooked with care. I do wish they offer more sushi selection. We had mussel soup,... More

Dickenson's Arcade in Moonah, the first of the "Northern Suburbs" of Hobart, is where you will find this fine restaurant. The location is nice and quiet, but there is of course no view. The food is outstanding! I eat here quite often, and nearly always have the excellent Bento Box, but this time I had pickled eel, which was also... More
