She lives there and I live in the States. I need a website or at least a phone number to buy this certificate with a credit card. Thanks so much.

Do you mean good, or do you mean smart? - I realise you mean a restaurant rather than a hole in the wall. Streets ahead of everything else is Shira Nui, but it is in Glen Waverley, a suburb about 20km SE of the CBD. It is not difficult to get to from the city, but it depends where your niece lives - do you know? After that, you are into good Japanese restaurants with mixed menus - Yu-u on Flinders Lane (CBD) and KoKo (casino) are the ones I hear mentioned most.

Sushi and sashimi is the way to go, don't get caught up in the ala carte stuff When you or she actually books, make sure you get a seat at the sushi bar rather than the restaurant proper. Their phone number is +61 (for australia) 3 (for melbourne) 9886 7755 Wed Oct 28 22:46:12 -0700 2009 5134348 236726 mr_gimlet
