Banzai Sushi & Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Melbourne

I can't believe I've lived here for so many years and never tried this wonderful establishment!! Decided to stop in for some takeout tonight, and tried a few items off the menu to get a feel for the place. It will absolutely be a place I will not only be coming back to for lunch, but will bring my friends and family for dinner as well. Service was fast, and above the top friendly. They offered me a seat while I looked at the menu since I had never been there, brought me water, and did not act at all as if it was an obtrusion, or hastle me to hurry my decision. The restaurant is clean and spacious. Food prices were fair, and the portion sizes were much more than expected on all items. Great value! The chef took a moment to say goodbye as I left, it's the small things that matter like that, that make you feel like a valued customer, that really matter (besides food quality of course). Here are the following items I ordered and my review of them: Cooked baby octopus: nine pieces (more than other restaurants who serve 5-6) served on a bed of carrots and substantial amount of sauce for flavor. Spicy scallop temaki: out of everything I ordered, this was the one thing I did not really love. Absolutely nothing was wrong with it, I'm sure it was made in a much more authentic way than I'm used to. Lots of cucumber, scallop was fresh, lots of yummy fish eggs, but there didn't seem to be a whole lot of spicy mayo, or spice at all in it. Cooked JB roll: Wow!! Very delicious, packed with filling, the frying on this was perfect, not greasy at all. And much more than expected quantity-wise Ginger dinner stir fry: The portion size on this is enough to feed me for 3 days. I chose tofu for my protein, and was pleasantly surprised by the amount in the meal. Flavor was delicious, lots of ginger. This is my go-to for lunch, and I will absolutely be back on a regular basis to order it. Ultimately, the service was on point, the food was delicious, and the value for your money is far higher than most of the restaurants in Melbourne. Highly recommend trying this if you're looking for a good Thai restaurant, or...

First of all I think the ac was broken cause it was hot af in there! Staff didn’t even say anything about it at least out of acknowledgement. Had one fa blowing and only pointed at one table. The servers were horrible, moving my plate as I was grabbing a roll from the center of the table. She then came later and started taking my plate without even asking if I was done which still had food on it, then ask if I was done once she had it in her hands and off the table. I wasn’t but just went ahead and gave her the wave “just take it it’s on your hands already”. The food took forever to come out and the rolls would just fall apart before even lifting it out the plate. Had to ask for napkins, my ice water was hit by the time the food came out 45 minutes later. I do not recommend unless you’re the only one in there. I lost my appetite after waiting for 40 minutes. Should’ve just waited the 45 at Fujiyama. Never going back I repeat NEVER GOING BACK! Also one of the sushi chef looked to be about 9 years old. Chef was alright in my books cause he gave us a free sample although he was wasting time. What else, couldn’t give us a wait time on the food cause they was “busy”. Again DO NOT GO HERE!! If I’m able to get a refund I will gladly take it cause it was a waste of time and a waste of money. I’m never this disappointed in a restaurant but this place just made me think differently and need to leave a bad review! I didn’t even leave a tip cause it...
