Be prepared to take a ticket and wait for seats at Miso unless you're there bang on opening time. The restaurant isn't big so for four people on a friday night at 7pm, we had to wait ~35 minutes (thank goodness for the company of friends to make time fly by- maybe except James who was going to abandon and dash elsewhere at the 34th min waiting period :). They also do take-away so that's an option. It was very sweet of Miso staff to bring around a tray of warm rice green tea while we waited outside.

I warned everyone that we had to save ourself for the Sugar Hits later that night so that meant no pigging out! Unfortunately, you can not help but do exactly that at a place like Miso. Most of us opted for the dinner sets and being here before, I could not go past the legendary Tonkatsu pork loin set. This is the deep-fried all-natural Otway pork with Japanese coleslaw, potato salad, ogonori seaweed (it's good), bean sprouts, rice and miso soup. You might notice the yellow mustard in the photo below. It's actually infused with wasabi so only dab a little or else you will get the "wasabi up the nose" effect.

Guys being guys had to order more. Ivan had the Chirashi sushi and tonkatsu set. The extra features of this meal were the aburi salmon, salmon roe and mini-dessert.

James ordered the karaage chicken (a must have!) and Miso's special for the night, Sukiyaki beef bento. Did I not tell people to not over-eat? Oh too bad, this bento set was such a great yummy deal: Wagyu Sukiyaki beef on rice, salmon sashimi, vegetable spring roll, potato salad, dashimaki tamago (Japanese omelette), kamaboko (fish cake), miso soup, brocolli, tofu, fruit and... soft shell crab! What's the catch? What's the catch?! Oh, that 35 minutes of waiting was so worth it!

Poor Kat had her appetite ruined earlier with take away sushi so she opted for an udon. The broth was more on the clear healthy side making the set parties going on above much more desirable.

You will always be satisfied here. And if you're into Japanese flavours, you should try the black seasame and green tea shakes. Suggestion: come here in smaller groups (<5) to ease waiting time.
