Japanese Restaurants In Melbourne You Should Head To ASAP

Lunch and dinner menus differ, with more elaborate options available from the Ginza chefs in the evening. Among others, at dinner, there’s a Lobster Set (seasonally priced), and a Veg Set with aged tofu. There are multiple dining areas at Japanese Southbank restaurant Miyako, with large windows and an outdoor balcony overlooking the Yarra river. Miyako‘s beautiful setting means that we think it's one of the best teppanyaki restaurants in Melbourne.
Ocha is also available for private functions with fantastic Japanese banquets to make any event special – find out more here. Below you'll find samples from menus of places all you can eat sushi melbourne nearby. Mogu Mogu also provides beautifully designed catering options.

But central Victoria should be your next weekend away destination, particularly the arty hub of Castlemaine and foodie destination Kyneton. In recent years, Castlemaine and its surrounding towns have developed a reputation for being home to artists, musicians, writers and creatives. Castlemaine punches way above its weight when it comes to cultural festivals and activities – not to mention restaurants that are well worth the drive north. Rough-hewn stone walls, six-metre ceilings and glowing gold accents set the mood at this high-end Japanese restaurant in a basement. Take the glass-walled lift underground for top-of-the-line Wagyu cooked over charcoal, delicate sashimi and a several exciting detours into Chinese cuisine.
Book in for a simple chirashi bowl, or an 11-course lunch featuring dishes like dry-aged kingfish sashimi with roasted spring onion oil and Hokkaido scallops with burnt orange gel. The hushed, reverent atmosphere here is well suited to owner-chef Koichi Minamishima's awe-inspiring knife skills. He works with both local seafood and fish flown direct from Toyosu Fish Market in Tokyo to produce his peerless sushi. And yet, Japanese remains one of Melbourne’s most widespread and popular cuisines, which says a lot about its unique appeal. The soup has a nice, mild fish flavour and was a huge serve.

When I drive past a strip of shops/restaurants in the suburbs I wonder … “whose favourite restaurant is in one of these shops? Whose Friday nights are spent walking down to get take away? Whose birthdays have been spent in one of these shop windows”. It’s the small businesses like Kobe that build local communities. Nestled behind busy Boronia road is Two Cats Espresso. A cosy little nook to enjoy coffee, friendly service and a ‘guilt free’ treat, or three.
Incredibly fresh and super crunchy crusts - we will certainly be stopping in here on every trip up to Warburton to pick up a Country Sourdough. Little brunch dates with a little mate are so so sweet … especially when they want the WAFFLES! Perfect for those coffee dates, catch ups after the school drop off or family breakfasts. The shop in Bayswater is open 7 days and is serving up pastries, pies, breads, bagels, toasties and sandwiches. Pastry Chef Garon has opened up Croissant Bar in Heathmont, serving up delicious sourdough croissants, crumplings, cronuts and more. With sweet and savoury options there is something for everyone.

The local eastie brewery loves a great brew and a pizza or two at the entrance to the Yarra Valley. Nestled in the tiny little town of Millgrove along the Warubrton Trail is Cookie Grove. The Ice Creamery sources all local ingredients from the Yarra Valley and is dishing out some sweet stuff. Mamma definitely recommends the Caramel Slice Ice Cream- YES it really does taste like it. Fantastic Mister Fox has delicious food with funky menu names such as Hot in the Hen House, one of Mamma’s faves, and He’s Home for the Hollondaise which is always a crowd pleaser. The lighter lunch menu can be a good option if you’re looking for cheap teppanyaki Melbourne.
Aya Teppanyaki prides themselves on having some of the most dynamic teppanyaki chefs in Melbourne. They have set menus and a la carte options, so you can choose a vegetarian meal if preferred.

It includes the chef’s selection for an appetiser, Harumaki (spring rolls) entree, chicken, eye fillet steak, mixed vegetables, Japanese fried rice and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
