Point Cook is quite lucky to have Master Shifu on Tom Roberts Parade, a smart-casual Japanese eatery boasting a range of dishes as broad, authentic and downright tasty as any Japanese place in Melbourne that is this affordable. You get a taste of the time and skill behind the food here no matter what you eat, but particular mention should be made of some house specialties including miso eggplant and miso lamb cutlets, as well as the succulent flamed salmon. Even if you come by for lunch you’ll be spoilt for choice, with everything from gyoza and unagi to various bento boxes and ramen, udon, rice and main dishes on offer. For an evening meal the casual but stylish setting is perfect, and the choices are even more – opting for Master Shifu’s specially designed multi-course set menus is a wise choice.
