Wood Spoon provided a really nice environment to chill out and have a light meal in. The food was really tasty and unusually presented. The only complaint I have is about the chilled water glasses they gave us to drink our wine from. Why not just have normal wine glasses?!

Overall a great place to dine if you want to try something a bit different!

A seemingly more homely style of japanese food.

Mainly simple dishes, but done v. well (esp for the price). For example, the miso soup tastes great, but also has vegies and meats in it, so it is a much heartier version of the flavoured water at most other japanese restaurants.

Particularly good for a warming lunch or early dinner.

May not be the number 1 japanese restaurant in melbourne, but i would highly recommend it to any japanese-cuisine conniseurs as a great alternative to the standard style of other restaurants.

As an aside, it is one of the best restaurants for value-for-money i've come across in the inner city of late.
