Sadly after about 3 years of supporting Nosh, I've to say that their food is not worth paying for. I've always ordered their Peking duck slices because of how delicious it is, even after they removed the pre-made bowls from their menu resulting in having to $3-6 more for the same thing. But yesterday, I went back to Nosh and ordered pan seared duck but when I went home in Melbourne's lockdown to eat (time from restaurant to meal was < 10min), I got hardened duck bits that were dry and tasteless, as if they had re-refrigerated food they could not sell and warmed it up in a microwave. Sauce was scanty and barely enough. Salad portion was dismal. Even I could make better food than this. Wanted to email nosh to seek an explanation but no contact form is available. Hoping Nosh can compensate for this. Edit: in my email correspondence with Nosh, they have made it a point to clarify that I had not asked for a base, and the salad amount was reasonable due to my not adding on another salad/rice/other base. For the sake of transparency, I am stating this and readers can decide if what looks like the empty half of my bowl should be justified with a base. Secondly, Nosh also stated that "(they) entirely trust your judgement on the duck", which begets my concern about what they recognise to be adequate standards of food. Readers can again decide if looking at this bowl of duck if you would find palatable to eat, regardless of the amount. Finally, Nosh also made it point to state their opinion about how customers should be posting reviews, and that we would need to "agree to disagree.. (on) how to approach providing constructive feedback", almost as if to insinuate that constructive feedback cannot be achieved if it rates them 1-star on a public forum. Safe to say, Nosh has definitely lost a customer.

Short trip to Melbourne over the holiday period - Lunch at @noshaustralia on Little Collins St! Always reliable for a good feed ☺️. . Salmon aburi poke bowl - Flame-seared Tasmanian salmon on coconut turmeric rice, locally-grown baby spinach with roasted sweet potato, charred capsicum and creamy roasted sesame sauce: I loved the aburi salmon! It was very nicely torched and was super tender 😍😍. . Nori tacos: such nice crispy nori tacos! Such yummy fillings ☺️☺️. - Spicy mayo salmon taco - Tamarind prawn taco - Creamy chicken taco . Eggplant bites: you just can't go wrong with fried eggplant! The dipping sauce was slightly on the sweet side but good.

ORDERED: 🍛 Sashimi Poke Party (small): Fresh Tasmanian salmon sashimi on coconut turmeric rice, locally grown baby spinach with roasted sweet potato, charred capsicum and creamy roasted sesame sauce ($15.05) REVIEW: Nosh's brand of sashimi poke bowl is delicious, compared to their very close competitor outside on the main street *cough 🐟🍚*. Both have their pros and cons, but for the sashimi, Nosh is the winner. Thoughtfully fragrance coconut turmeric rice adds more dimension to an otherwise typically lacklustre dish. It's elevated with a creamy roasted sesame sauce - adding some nice earthy nutty flavours without taking away from the freshness of the spinach and sashimi. 🩷 Unfortunately I couldn't taste much of the roasted sweet potato, but I did really enjoy the savoury onion-esque flavour from the shallots. Inside Collins quater, the Nosh staff are an efficient machine churning out orders during weekday lunches. Although they're fast, you'll benefit from getting there slightly before 12 where all the office workers come down and the insane queue starts. Also very sad that they charge credit card surcharge 🥹.

It's a nice place for healthy bowls. You can pick your bowl from a range of suggested recipes or you can simply make your own bowl, choosing the ingredients from its rich open bar. I also tried wagyu beef taco, it is very very good. Duck bowl is a bit spicy though. Price performance is fair. Overall, I'd recommend this place.

Ordered some tacos which arrived over 20mins late. Additionally, the wagyu nori taco I ordered was all fat. I wouldn't recommend Nosh as their menu items are highly overpriced, delivery time can be longer and at times food quality consistency can vary (as evidenced by the all fat wagyu nori taco I received - very hard to chew so didn't end up swallowing the meat). Pretty disgusting. Couldn't even swallow the meat and didn't want to as it was all fat...it's probably best to stay away from the wagyu beef but other items might be ok.

If you're in Melbourne and looking for a truly special dining experience, I highly recommend checking out Nosh. This contemporary Japanese restaurant offers something truly unique. They expertly combine Japanese-inspired flavors with fresh, locally sourced produce to create dishes that are bursting with deliciousness. What sets Nosh apart is their dedication to using the freshest ingredients and preparing everything from scratch. You can taste the difference in every bite. The menu at Nosh is a delight for any food lover. They have carefully crafted a range of Japanese-inspired dishes that cater to various tastes. One dish that really stands out is their healthy Tofu bowl. It's filled with nutritious ingredients and accompanied by an array of fresh vegetables that add a burst of flavor and texture. It's a wholesome and satisfying choice for those who appreciate both taste and wellness. One of the things that makes dining at Nosh truly enjoyable is their exceptional staff. The team is friendly, attentive, and genuinely cares about ensuring you have a memorable dining experience. Their warm hospitality creates a positive and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. So, if you're craving a modern Japanese dining experience in Melbourne, I urge you to give Nosh a try. With their focus on fresh ingredients, scratch-made dishes, and an outstanding menu, it's a restaurant that promises to impress your taste buds and leave you with a lasting impression.

Ordered the sashimi lovers. Salmon and tuna were fresh and delicious. Generous serving of green beans which felt nice and healthy. All around great quality and healthy meal! Well done nosh galleria!!

Too much sauce drizzled over my beautiful salmon ruining it. The regular size is probably misleading as I didn't see the bowl size before I ordered. The food and taste was average. Better options elsewhere in the city.

Wow! I meant WOW!!!! The poke bowl here is so tasty! I am literally speechless! You don’t believe me? Look at the picture to see how happy I was eating my poke bowl! Yummy yummy yummy!

Fresh ingredients and tasty but bit disappointed with the proportion size. I ordered the Build your own large bowl with plenty of extras: edamame, charred capsicum strips, 63 degree egg (a must), avocado, cucumber and seaweed salad with 2 protein balls. As you can see in the photo it quite a big bowl but the extras are little... I had too much brown rice ratio to toppings which was disappointing. Overall good poke but for the price you pay for the extras better to go woolies and buy it there (cheaper) and add it to this.

Was looking for a healthy dinner after flying into Melbourne and came across Nosh! Food was plentiful and delicious. I opted for the build your own bowl. Price was very decent for the quality AND quantity of food. I WILL be back. Thanks guys!

Cute little pokebowl cafe to go to for a quick and healthy lunch. All the food is super fresh and tasty. I would recommend making your own bowl!

Mediocre quickly made poke bowl. Chicken isn’t cooked on site / fresh.

Obsessed with Nosh! The staff are always so friendly. I love the satay sauce in the bowls and the tofu nori tacos are an absolute favourite!

First time trying Nosh. Paid $3 for the bigger size but guessed I got something even smaller then the small sized bowl. Just look at my friend’s and mine, and all those fill to the brim stock photos. I paid $16 for this and had to get another lunch... Oh and the staff missed out on the sauces too so the bowl was just plain...

It is a healthy option and still tasty! The combination of the sauce and base is great, service is not too bad. During busy time may need to wait, but overall a good waiting time for busy people during lunch rush (tips: searing products may take more time! I usually use Ritual to order in advance) Recommend the poke party!

Was hoping to have a bigger portion but overall good food and good hospitality.

Ordered for catering for 70 people and had a very pleasant experience. Great and fast communication - the team was quick on replying emails, and was very understanding of the event situation. On top of everything, the food quality and presentation was top notch. Would order again.

I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough for your next lunch in the CBD area.. Healthy, hearty lunches at a great price. Great value and nutritious as well. ❤️‍🩹

I had the wagyu beef with quinoa from the lunch menu. It was delicious!

Tried the wagyu bowl and salmon taco, I really love the combination in the bowl served. The bowl was so pretty and delicious! The spicy mayo they use on the fresh salmon taco is really nice. I love it! I would surely come back for another lunch!

Fresh & tasty food for a great price. Very filling, healthy, super tasty. Friendly and fast working staff. Will be back

If I want to have poke bowl, my first choice will be Nosh Galleria. I just like the variety they have and how they season the food and give some boring ingredients like broccoli more flavor and texture.

decent food and nice staff 😊. i usually get a bowl with salmon in it and everytime it varies in quality, usually its just so so but every once its nice and fresh and makes me wanna bbbbust. However my most recent bowl made my doodoohole run a marathon, a painful one at that, not sure if it was the salmon or something else in it...

I was looking for a somewhat healthy dinner at an affordable price and this place just did it right. The service was a bit too slow (it seems just today though) but I found the meal and experience great. I recommend.

Very warm and hospitable welcome and helpful customer service. Clean, light and refreshing decor. Comfortable dining experience. Food is flavoursome, nutritious and fresh. I love my burgers, steaks, pizza and the rest..., but if you want to feel great after your meal, come here!

Usually it's fine for a healthy lunch on a work day but today I received wildly inconsistent and poor quality avocado. Which, if you insist on charging extra for you should probably ensure that it isn't so oxidised it's blackened and looks like a tonsil stone Tony Abbott would suck down.

One of the best poke bowls in Melbourne! The description of physical menu was slightly different with the online one. Physical one was more detailed and clear!

Came for the GF options, Something people really must be aware of is that the FOOD is just NOT TASTY. Felt really ripped off with the 7.50 tacos just stuffed with rice and chosen meat, with just a basic sauce. It was not anywhere close to being a complete dish - even for a taco side.

Our first experience at Nosh. Very attentive and friendly staff and very good food. We take delivery for each. Hopefully soon we can enjoy the dishes in the same restaurant.

Fresh however portion is pathetic. Bowl is only half filled and I paid $17 for this.

I tried the salmon bowl. It was really good but would have loved a little more sauce (I know now for next time). I did also find the regular portion on the small size so I'd size up :) Otherwise all the aspects of the bowl were great, loved the seared salmon especially!

Fusion food. At the first glance of menu looks like Japanese food but ingredients turmeric rice and tacos (seaweed). Thought rice bowl would be hot but the rice kinda lukewarm. With the money you pay and what you get - so so

Tastes great... but as I was eating there were crunchy bits and it turns out be the egg shells in my food... quite disappointed...

Nosh did the first thing right by ensuring that customers that are looking for healthy variety can find them by googling exactly that. The restaurant's decor is simple and functional. Decorated with plain natural wooden chairs and table, with enough plants to not feel too 'fast foodish' and give a feel of "healthiness". Unfortunately, you walk in, the music is extremely loud that you have to amplify your voice a few more decibels than you might want to. The person who greets you or the lack there of, seems uninterested in, better yet bothered by your visit to their place of work Lol. We decided that we wanted to try this place and so we went to bother her a little more by asking her if we could sit where ever we liked and the procedures. Anyway, we decided what we wanted after a few minutes and by now she was having her meal, which I am assuming is why she didnt quite care when we walked in. As far as she was concerned she was going on or was on break. We proceeded to the cashier and there came a young man who was enthusiastic and all things true hospitality is meant to be; day and night were the pair. Since we wanted to have our meals and have a conversation, we kindly asked for the music volume to be slightly adjusted and it was done. Later on, she returned behind the counter and went to turn back through music up. He advised her of the guests request to which she shrugged and turned the music right back up to an uncomfortable level for patrons to have a good conversation. Note to employees - the music you plain in your establishment is not for you but the guest! The food was great; beautifully decorated with many good flavours and colours. It was delicious and worth going to the restaurant for. If you can look pass the bad attitude of someone you are paying to provide you that said service!

Yummy healthy bowls you can customise to your heart's content. The problem is too many good options, definitely try them all. Generous servings as well, which is a plus.

Great food, friendly staff, top service Poke Bowl is the best bowl I've ever had in Melbourne. Bao's are great

Both made our own. Smaller proteins than “poked” even though we got large bowls. Ok food. Good price. Healthy and Carters for dietary needs

Ordered a large bowl of Tofu, the quantity and quality is rip off its so less for the price and some of salad didn’t tasted fresh at all. Previously it used to be good but recent experience has not been great.

First time here and the food is really nice and healthy. Would highly recommend to give it a try.

Liked the food! Was aok. Some good vegan / gluten free options. Wish the portion was bigger, ima hungry gal :P

Really good food, even if a bit pricey. The most abysmally pathetic dash of sauce in the bowls though, probably to get you to pay extra for more sauce. I usually do but when I forget it's a very dry meal, when I do get extra it tends to be drowning. I just want a normal amount of sauce aye

Ordered a cashew satay tofu bao and tofu Teri san warm bowl and both were delicious. Healthy food, quick to serve and have tables to sit and eat as well. Good food and certainly recommend eating there…

Enjoyable! Egg was a little too runny for me and could've been slightly warmer but otherwise yum!

The prices are higher than posted in the store on online The bowl I had was fine but "large +$3" is just a bunch more rice Had better but not bad overall

I had heard about their Nori tacos and was curious to try. Was not disappointed so yummy and very filling. I had 2 for $14 and could barely finish them. Very pleasant casual dining space. Friendly staff. Ate there just before table service shuts down again but would be a great takeaway option as well.

Super tasty food that feels really fresh. Great pricing and some keto options, but atmosphere is a little lacking.

The best dinner after a long day tour! Didn’t go wrong when I ordered Wagyu San, a complete not so lite meal, soooo yummy or taihen oishi. Looking at their menu, surprisingly prices are reasonable. Will definitely go back and try their other dishes. Counting Nosh into my favorite & not to miss resto

Usually good. But over the last year have noticed their portions are getting smaller and smaller. Today was a new low - barely 50% of container was full.

I've never been to the Nosh Bar previously. Food was fantastic, great flavour. Absolutely go again.

True definition of fast food. Healthy bowls with the the relaxing ambience. Choices for vegetarian and vegan. Staff was helpful and friendly.

I ordered a poke party bowl at the little Collins place and I just got spinach more than anything else, I paid 19 dollars just for it, so disappointed!!!

The Poke Party is amazing but I'll be back to try everything ! Fresh light delicious clean welcoming space.

Cool staff, great food

I nearly always go the poke bowl. Cannot fault the food - it's exceptional. However when you add up the options it come to just over $20-00 which is a bit exe hence 4 not 5 stars

I haven't tried their food yet as it disguises vegan food with few pieces of meat. But my vegan friend loves it. So, It must be good for him. Just 3 stars.

Good option for takeaway

Lit?

The bowl was great and I was 100% satisfied and totally full after the meal. Staff is very friendly

Really good service, friendly staff and varied offer of ingredients. Good for eating there or takeaway.

Another great city eatery. Super quick service and delicious bowls. Get there early for a seat, nearer to 12pm the better! It is now my go to for the salmon poke bowl.

Awesome Food! Perfect for healthy fastfood :)

My first poke experience and it didn’t disappoint. Lovely and fresh and all the flavours I thought would be present most certainly were. Really enjoyed my experience here at Nosh. The staff were excellent and the food was delicious. Will be back for more!

We were surprised, because it was a lot more tasty than we originally thought.. but it’s definitely quite expansive with its portion though.

Second day this week eating at Nosh. My girlfriend loved the Cool Chick and I enjoyed today's Teriyaki chicken. Two meals for $21.80... you really can't go wrong. Nosh is a fabulous choice if you're looking for a good healthy food option. A popular place is a handy location.

My partner and I came here as tourists wanting a good hearty breakfast to start our day. Not only did Nosh deliver, but we were both comfortably full after finishing our meals. Good price for the quality of the meals and clear instructions for how to make your own bowl. We got the Cool Chick and the Sashimi Lovin. Would definitely come again while visiting Melbourne!

Healthy, tasty, well priced and good atmosphere

Great healthy meals.

We were struggling to find restaurants open on Sunday night when we stumbled upon Nosh. The photos of food in the window looked healthy and the food did not disappoint. Tasty and fresh Asian style in a bowl. This is no frills with basic table settings and disposable utensils. It was fast and fresh and made a good cheap healthy light dinner (small bowl size).

Delicious !!!

If I lived in Melbourne I would be here every day! Nice clean place, friendly staff and most importantly delicious healthy food. Thank you

Great salads

On picture: Sashimi Lovin Definitely recommended!

Healthy portion, and love the turmeric infused rice! I had the seared salmon instead of sashimi, and added kimchi on the poke party bowl. Light yet delicious dinner, nom nom nom!

fresh healthy and worthy food right in the busy city

(Translated by Google) Great food and excellent selection of healthy bowls. Excellent prices. I will be back (Original) Ottimo cibo ed ottima selezione di bowl salutari. Prezzi eccellenti. Ci tornerò

Wanted a spicy bowl. Received a spicy bowl.

(Translated by Google) Near the Royal Arcade, the restaurant has few seats but is refreshing and clean. The meal is the concept of bibimbap and risotto! I ordered the sashimi tuna cubes. The brown rice tastes too hard. The sauce is a bit salty (purely a personal diet). I always drink water at the end of the meal. I can only order cold drinks without hot soup! It’s the first meal of rice in Melbourne for three days! If you miss rice or Chinese food, try it! (Original) 在皇家拱廊附近，餐廳座位不多但清爽乾淨，餐食就是拌飯跟丼飯概念！點了生鮪魚丁飯（sashimi tuna cubes),糙米飯口感偏應硬，醬汁有ㄧ點點鹹（純屬個人飲食習慣），吃到最後一直喝水，沒有熱湯只能點冷飲！算是到墨爾本三天來的第一餐米飯餐！想念米飯或中餐的人，不妨來試試！

Good portions, friendly staff

Loved this eatery. Came here with husband and kids of all ages and they all ate their meals without complaints! The food was full of flavours and healthy, plus very filling so we were not hungry for a long time afterwards. Salmon (raw or seared), Edamame beans , seaweed tortillas (yes), salad, chicken, fried shallots - everything was very fresh and so tasty. Not pricey, very good value. Would eat here every day! Highly recommended.

First went here a couple of years ago when it opened. Located just up from Elizabeth St in Little Collins St their wide range of bowl mixes are sure to contain the ingredients you like and choose. I tried a set item, Peek-ing Duck that was marked with three chillis but it was not all that spicy for a spice lover. Non - chilli lovers would probably say that was as hot as they would want

Great healthy good, very good size servings, $15 and you walk away satisfied and feeling great

the food is so fresh, and the ambience was very nice. the falalafel bowl was amazing, highly recommend it. this place is suitable for people with specific dietary requirements, as it has vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options which are specified on their menu. Very nice for a quick meal, and adequately priced. Recommend everyone to go this specific nosh.

Delicious Tuesday night din and many gluten free options
