Along with the expansion of Chadstone shopping centre almost 2 years ago came the addition of the Dining Terrace, an area which houses many big names in dining, such as Fonda Mexican, New Shanghai and Burger Project, as well as Marae Izakaya. Marae Izakaya is a Japanese style restaurant which boasts a diverse range of dining styles, from bentos, to al a carte dishes, as well as an impressive omakase sushi train.
The prices are a bit higher than other sushi trains that I have been to, but that is most likely attributed to the premium that comes with being located in the heavy traffic of Chadstone shopping centre. The dishes are definitely of a higher quality than other cheaper sushi trains that I have frequented, so the higher price you pay for the dishes has definitely not gone to waste.
However, due to the high volume of people that were dining there when I visited, I found the range of items on the train was quite lacking. I'm not sure if this was because their menu simply had less items than I expected, or if they were adjusting to the high amount of customers they had. Either way I would definitely have enjoyed it more if there were more choices for me on the train, instead of having to order separate dishes.
