Maedaya

Authentic japanese yakitori bar atmosphere, friendly staff, reasonable price for the quality. If you love matcha and love beer, must try their matcha beer, very unique.

fantastic.Great staff,great food,and our our private booth was just perfect. Go in and sample the many treats on the I Pad ordering menu. Brilliant Service.

Great food but most of the staff seemed a bit rushed. Had difficulty keeping the content of vegetarian dishes separate from the meat dishes, so our vegetarian wouldn't eat some. Each table is supplied a tablet to make your order on; you can view the items on your order but can't see which ones are still outstanding. Two of our vegetarian dishes did not arrive until we prompted at the end. However, all the food was very tasty and look stunning.

These guys are amazing! service and food is beautiful! It's easy to order and I find that food always comes out quite fast, even when they are busy

I love this place! Closest thing I have found in Melbourne that reminds me of my time in Japan. The iPads are seriously the best!!!!!

Service was prompt and food was delicious. A good varied menu meant that we had a multitude flavours to satisfy our palettes. And it wasn't too damaging to the hip pocket

Very tasty authentic Japanese food, one of the best restaurants in the area! The only thing that could be improved is the timing of some dishes.

2 hours for the food to arrive, they kept losing our order, regular requests for an update but it seems they kept forgetting it. Terrible! Very let down

Great experience, Japanese style pub with broad menu and delicious food and drinks. Interesting ordering through a tablet at the table allows you to choose from pictures with description.

The food is amazing! Takes me back to being in Japan: authentic flavours. Fun to use the iPad to order. Service is quick and friendly.

Fast service, you order lots of delicious food and the bill is always less than you expect. Good atmosphere, I will probably go there again.

Always great food and quick efficient service. I love the tablet ordering as everyone can look through, read up and chose. The prices are always great and they're constantly adding to the menu so you do go back! Been coming here for years.

Maedaya is so delicious, and the ambience is great. It was good to be able to book online with quandoo for confidence we had a table!

Such a friendly atmosphere. Food full of flavour and staff very helpful. Dining experience there for the first time was great. I will surely be back there worth the family again.

Relaxed atmosphere, quick and polite service & the food and sake were both an excellent mid-week antidote. Will be back to try the hot coal DIY!

The was a great variety of food on the menu, all reasonably priced. The food came really quickly and was super delicious! I would highly recommend Maedaya.

A large range of delicious food, with an even more impressive range of Japanese saki, wine and beer & great service. Enjoyed the good times.

Simple, tasty, quick food in a fun environment. Love the iPad order system but make sure you scroll through everything as we did miss some great food. Would highly recommend and definitely book. Order the Sake early to warm you up during winter!

Great food and good value, nice place. We arrived 10 mins early and was asked to leave and come back at our time slot, I thought this was not a good look as we were new customers. I felt like I should have gone somewhere else, I believe they need a seating area where customers may have a drink before they are seated at there allotted time...If they are to be strict with table times??? this was the only thing I can say in negative to the restaurant.

Excellent food and the service was great. I always look forward to going to this restaurant. It was amazing and my guests love the atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this place to all my friends.

Had a really good table after booking on the day itself. Food was great and reasonably priced. All good and will definitely book via Quandoo again.

Atmosphere and service was great. The serving sizes have decreased over time and the meat marinade is not as great but still enjoyable. Thank you

Food was good. Been here lots of times. Usually a good experience. Probably understaffed this time we went. Orders were wrong and staff were too flustered and seemed a bit annoyed which rubbed off onto their service.

Nice vibe, authentic Japanese yakitori skewers with reasonable price, will definitely come back for another meal soon with my friends and family, highly recommend matcha beer!

food at Maedaya used to be very good and I was proudly taking non-Japanese friends there. Quality of food, however, definitely went down. Sashimi wasn't very fresh and Mentaiko spaghetti was horrible with too much QP mayo. I was told they changed chef. Maeda san, please do something. Otherwise I won't go back.

Always fantastic food and great service. Will definitely be back. Only possible grumble is that the kitchen closes a little early on weeknights - last night final orders were called at 8.45pm.

Have always loved coming to Maedaya, as the service and food had always been top notch! It is therefore unfortunate to say that the food was a little disappointing on this particular visit. Some skewers came at room temperature, while others piping hot. The fried sesame chicken was also lacking in its usual flavour. However, the gyoza and tofu were fantastic, as were the drinks and service!

Amazing place for authentic Japanese food! Great variety of Sake!! Friendly staff and quick service, pays to book especially towards the weekend.

great place for a smallish groups of people. lots of variety to pick from. sushi rolls were great! although the icecream tasted as if they were pre-scooped, it was quite icy all around.. I guess this is to save time, but it would make a big difference if they scooped the icecream fresh.

I booked a table for my birthday for 11 people. Great food but I was barely attended to all night and had to get up on several occasions to ask for assistance. We also shared one iPad between 11 people which made ordering difficult. Reccomend for small groups of people or couples.

We were seated in a cute booth and as it was someone's birthday they brought her a cocktail and a few of the waitresses sung her happy birthday!

The food was delicious and good value. Wine selection is very limited (only 3 reds). Service was ok but could have been a little more attentive as we waited for long periods of time before someone came to serve us and it was difficult to get someones attention when needed.

Small portions yet lovely food. Always fresh, tasty & quick service. Very courteous staff & helpful. Price tag a little high when trying to feed teenage kids.

Great place for modern Japanese food. Loved the atmosphere and the food. Wide selection of choices. Friendly and efficient service. Fresh quality food that can be enjoyed by all ages

楽しかったですね〜 Very enjoyable dining experience. Variety of food choices! And most importantly, the drinks menu is the best! It's a great venue and I think I will keep going back!

Great restaurant with a huge number of dishes to choose from. Ordering from the ipad is kind of cool too. Good for groups and the kids menu is very impressive

It was my partner's birthday and I ran up for a dessert surprise but it never came ..:( service had no what they were serving

Always a great experience. Ordered a variety of dishes from the tapas, sushi and grilled meats menu. So delicious we didn't have room for dessert.

Food was amazing as usual. It got a bit too busy for staff to keep up I think and our drink orders were forgotten and food became very delayed. Still a good night and value for money.

Great range of food with reasonable portion sizes. Speedy service and friendly wait staff. Complimentary green tea is wonderful. My favourite place for Japanese cuisine. Highly recommended.
