'Miso' Japanese Resturant is part of the Masuya Group, who are renowned for their fresh ingredients and fine food. We arrived during peak hour lunch on a Friday afternoon where we expected there to be a queue of customers but there was only a few people waiting for tables in front of us, with the wait being approximately 10 minutes. 
The interior is plain but stylish and modern, being a relatively new place. The menu offers a wide assortment of foods from set menu's, bento boxes, donburi set's and udon's. The portions look rather large in the pictures and the real food looks like the pictures.
I ordered the Tonkatsu Pork Loin Set ($15.00) while my friend ordered the Pork Miso Katsu Set ($15.00). The Tonkatsu Pork Loin Set/Pork Miso Katsu Set came with an accompaniment of sides including:
- Konyaku- yam potato starch cooked with sake and soy
- Dashimaki Tamago- traditional style of omelette flavoured with dashi stock
- Pasta- white sauce and diced vegetables
- Tofu- fried
- Miso sauce (Sauce on the side for Tonkatsu Set)
- Salad- shredded cabbage with house dressing
- Miso soup
The tonkatsu was crispy, crunchy and tender. However, the piece of pork had a high portion of fat to one side while the other side had a perfect meat balance. The accompanying sauce tasted like BBQ sauce but I found the miso sauce a tad bit strong. The sides tasted great with my favourite being Konyaku which had a hint of sesame oil.
We also ordered a serving of Soft Shell Crab ($6.80) but was disappointed at the portion size. The crab was crispy but lacked the seasoning as there was no sauce but a wedge of lemon. Overall, a great Japanese Restaurant that serves fresh food at a reasonable price.
