A quick update on our opening hours for next week! ☀️

After an amazingly manic summer, Tran and I are taking an extra day off to sneak in a little break and reset the batteries.

Because of that, the restaurant will be closed for three days instead of two next week so we can all get things lined up for a big end to the week.

Here is how our hours look:

Mon 31st – Wed 2nd: Closed
Thu 3rd: Open (Brunch // Lunch // Izakaya)
Fri 4th & Sat 5th: Open (Brunch // Lunch // Dinner)

We’ll be back refreshed and ready to cook on Thursday 3rd!

If you’re planning a visit for later in the week, tap the link in our bio to book your table. 🥂

9 years ago, we opened the doors for our very first service. 🚪✨

A lot has changed since then—menus have evolved, the team has grown, and we’ve tried countless new things—but the feeling of getting a review like this hasn't changed one bit.

We’re so grateful to everyone who has supported us over the last 9 years, and hugely proud of our team who work so hard to make visits like Harry’s happen.

When only a shawarma will do... or 7. 😂🌯

Massive group order lined up on the pass and ready to head out the door. Easily one of our most popular takeaway picks!

We love dogs here—morning, noon, and night.

Whether you’re popping in for a flat white and brunch, grabbing a quick lunch, or settling in for dinner, your four-legged mates are welcome to pull up a seat right beside you inside or out.

Water bowls are always filled and ready, and we promise they’ll get plenty of fuss from the team. 🐾

Upgrade your morning routine. 🍳🥞

Across Japan, there’s a famous rivalry when it comes to okonomiyaki—the thick, fluffy Osaka style vs. the layered Hiroshima style.
After running our own taste tests in the kitchen, we couldn't pick a favorite. So, we took the best bits of both and made it our own.

We pack ours with shredded cabbage, spring onions, and crunchy beansprouts, then top it with fried eggs, mayo, and our house Japanese brown sauce. It’s warm, savoury, and a proper filling start to the day.

Available on our brunch menu (Wednesday to Saturday, 09:00 – 11:30).

A while back, we fell in love with kushiage (deep-fried skewers) at a tiny, brilliant Izakaya in Matsumoto, Japan.

We wanted to bring that exact vibe back home, and after a lot of tweaking, we’re so happy with our own interpretation. They’re light, seriously crispy, and served with a rich dipping sauce.

This plate went out to a table who all wanted to try them. Just remember the golden rule of traditional kushiage—absolutely no double-dipping if you’re sharing the sauce bowl! 😉

You can find these on our Thursday night Izakaya menu. We also occasionally run them as a daily special—though they never usually last very long when we do!
