The light- filled venue provides banquette seating in an open, airy space as well as more intimate seating in a cosy corner of the cafe, where customers can enjoy Japanese-inspired eats and listen to vinyl records.

Supernova's sandos include a range of katsu sandwiches made on soft milk bread with house made sweet bbq sauce and accompanied with shoyu dipping sauce and pickled ginger - think chicken, pork, Black Angus, and Mother and Daughter (chicken katsu and soft egg mayo).

Soba Japanese noodle dishes can be ordered with spicy wagyu, scallion, a trio of mushrooms and soft egg; tuna sashimi, radish, nori and sesame; or scorched teriyaki tofu with roasted sweet potato, snow peas, slaw and peanut gochujang dressing.
