The Modern Eatery — Restaurant in Mount Lawley

Another restaurant proving that you can spend a lot of money in Mount Lawley and still not get a good feed. Unagi (eel) here is microwaved from a packet, lacking seasoning and char grill flavour. Portion size is pathetic - four slim slices arranged over limp greens and overcooked rice. This would amount to maybe 1/3 of a whole unagi fillet!

You can get sake and japanese alcohol too. Overall is a nice place to go....
