Best places: Japanese restaurants in Melbourne, Australia

Intimate, colourful venue focusing on sea urchin hot pot & sashimi platters, plus desserts.

👍👍 I laugh when I see the prices (and portions) of other sushi places! Tokui Sushi is super affordable (currently $2.50 a roll), incredibly tasty and the woman who has served me each time I've visited is really courteous and polite. Could not recommended enough!

👍👍 9 trips to Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu and Kyushu) and definately the best kaki fry (oysters) I have ever had in my life. The oysters are still juicy and the breading is the perfect texture. Also the potato salad and the cabbage are divine, the cabbage tastes exactly like all the best in Japan. I love...

Rice bowls & other Japanese provisions served in a casual, contemporary setting with a terrace.

😐 Food is quite cheap, restaurant located in Chinatown. I ordered the beef curry and Udon katsu chicken. I remembered coming here years ago and food was so good but i just came back on December 2022 and food was just basic, nothing special, just affordable.

Polished restaurant offering sushi & classic rice dishes, plus hearty seafood meals.

👍👍 Delicious food and wonderful staff. We will keep going back.

👍👍 If you’re looking for an authentic Japanese + Korean experience and cuisine, then this is it. The menu is varied and the cooking absolutely spot on. Humble and heart warming. Think of it as chicken soup for the soup. Vibrant atmosphere during peak times but there are lone diners who come here later...

Sleek space for upscale traditional cooking presented as a tasting menu or à la carte.

Japanese fine dining, with meals prepared tableside, in a cosmopolitan, minimalist setting.

Small, popular Japanese place for sushi, tempura & noodles, plus a signature green tea milkshake.

Buzzy Japanese restaurant with an open kitchen crafting sushi and sashimi delicacies, plus noodles.

👍👍 Ken is simply outstanding. We rated all dishes excellent ( Sashimi ,seared samon belly wagu and spicy tuna roll) to probably the best Pork Belly dish I have ever tasted. Truly a revelation ..Staff are young very helpful and unobtrusive. They did a great job . Still consistently excellent this res...

👍👍 Excellent food! I’ve been walking through Fitzroy trying to figure what I want to eat for dinner and the “vegan ramen” sign caught my attention. I ordered one of their “must try” dishes - the vegan Agedashi with tofu and eggplant - and it is indeed a must try! Amazing flavours, very generous portio...

Japanese food cooked on individual volcanic stone grills, plus traditional mains, in plush setting.

Carefully-presented Japanese ramen, rice, sushi and bento in a smart, busy, communal dining space.

👍👍 I love Japanese and this place was great. Staff were also super friendly. Okonomiyaki was delicious as was the croquette, seaweed salted fries and teppanyaki. Each dish came with a little salad with delicious sesame dressing. 😍 We had a question about where they got their seaweed salt and the che...

👍👍 We arrived and were greeted by the friendly FOH who was able to seat us despite being early for booking. The place is huge without feeling cavernous and had a great loft/warehouse type vibe. We almost ended up ordering "entrees" and "mains"... Everything on the menu looked amazing, it was hard to de...

Elevated joint supplying Japanese plates & drinks in a warm space with brick walls & arched windows.
