Other published opinions

Gourmet Traveller 2009 Australian Restaurant Guide "The food at this calm, cool and creamily clad mod-Nippon joint borrows from the Japanese tradition of izakaya, where diners choose from a range of modestly priced entree-sized dishes designed to share"

Sunday Mail STM Entertainment editor Jay Hanna, 30-7-2008 Score: Value 4.5/5, Food 5/5, Ambience 4/5, Service 4.5/5 "I AM not ashamed to admit I have an unhealthy or should that be healthy obsession with sushi. I confess I was initially a little wary about eating the ghastly green stuff that used to wrap itself around my ankles when I was paddling in the dirty grey seas of Scotland as a youngster"

Sunday Times Gail Williams, 5-03-06 Score: 3 stars out of 5 "The beautifully decorated, old-style Japanese picnic hamper sits before you in all its lacquered glory, offering surprises, decisions and delight. Which compartment will you tackle first? Will you tenderly prise apart the potato croquette, or deal with the hardboiled egg in soy sauce? Such was the unfolding two-act drama at Ha-Lu, which opened recently in Oxford St, Mt Hawthorn and added a touch of Oriental elegance to that end of town. This purpose-built restaurant reeks of boom-town bucks, as did its recently closed sister Yahachi, in The Colonnade, Subiaco."
