    We really enjoyed our meal at Hows your oni. We went with a variety of small plates to share instead of any main courses. I think next time I'd love to try a main dish like a vegetable Udon noodle. It can be on the pricier end of the spectrum if you order 3-4 small plates/bites per person, but the taste makes up for it. I had the jackfruit onigiri which was fantastic, but wouldn't necessary recommend the tokoyaki (savoury balls made with a flour batter filled with your choice of squid, prawns or mushrooms). Although, on Tuesdays they have tokoyaki Tuesday, where you get 6 balls instead of 4, which is quite a deal.

    The service was fantastic! We ordered the udon which was lukewarm when it arrived. However, the server didn't miss a beat and brought fresh bowls which were perfectly piping hot, and so good! The prawn tempura was a bit soggy, but I would try it again to be sure because the batter seemed excellent. Overall, definitely will visit again and would recommend to others hoping to try some Japanese food.

    Food was really good. Just the restaurant itself felt cold and seats were uncomfortable. Elevating the restaurant feel will elevate the experience.
