Herald Sun GLUTTON, "The name means 'box', explains my friend, Kazuyo, as we trip down Flinders Lane in search of the Japanese restaurant everyone's talking about. But there's nothing boxy about this loftlike space with its soaring black ceiling, sensuously curved wall and airy ambience"
Herald Sun Claire Sutherland, 10-06-08 Score: **** "The Japanese classics here are flawlessly presented by day with a more adventurous menu by night"

Herald Sun Eat, Bob Hart, 3-11-07 "I visited regularly and - because of my preference for drinking tea with Japanese food, a cheap option inevitably left with change from $20. Now, visiting the new and improved Hako may cost a few dollars more. But it will still cost less than you might expect of an elegant, 60-seat establishment offering fine, modern Japanese food in the CBD: one visit to Nobu, I estimate, would cost as much as four visits here. And both should leave you in a deeply contented state of mind."
