The Deli brings a more folksy air to the Japanese food market . The owners renovated the Anzac Avenue location themselves. Aside from the regular tables and chairs, there is one very long table down the back which can seat 10 people around it comfortably. This is definitely one of the places in the city where harried professionals can end the day with that much needed drink and sustenance, and to which many students, young mums, and others come to take time out and talk about nothing of any great consequence, over an excellent espresso and Japa Deli’s homemade cakes (baked each day by Mom, not Pop).

By the way, “Deli” stands for “delivery”, as well as “delicatessen”. Japa Deli’s sushi delivery service provides ample proof of why Japanese householders never make their own sushi – they just order out. It may be impossible for an eatery to be all things, to all customers, but Japa Deli are giving it a damned good try : deli, cafe, restaurant (licensed), delivery service, and takeaway. And the prices are most reasonable. Check out the website for full menus, contact details and a booking form.
