10 Japanese Restaurant in Melbourne

Japanese food is certainly one of our favourite cuisines, because it encompasses so many different type of dishes. You could eat Japanese food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, 7 days a week without ever eating the same thing twice. But where to start when it comes to Japanese restaurants in Melbourne? Well, as always, it depends what you’re in the mood for… Sushi and ramen may be some of the most well-known Japanese food types, but there’s so much more to Japanese cuisine than just raw fish and soup. Fans of pancakes will love Okonomiyaki, a type of savory Japanese pancake piled high with toppings, that was traditionally prepared to use up leftovers hundred of years ago. Meat lovers will adore Yakiniku, Japanese-style BBQ that you cook at coal grills on your table. Or, if you prefer Japanese food with a fast food vibe, try Tonkatsu, a type of panko breaded, deep-fried pork cutlet served with shredded cabbage and a sweet sauce, that is extremely popular in Japan. And do you want to hear the good news? You can get all these delicacies and more at Melbourne’s Japanese restaurants...

Feeling overwhelmed and not sure where to begin when it comes to eating at Japanese restaurants in Melbourne? Let Quandoo help you decide… For high-end, authentic sushi and an extraordinary dining experience check out Minamishima on Lord Street in Richmond. If you fancy cocktails and Japas (Japanese tapas) in a cool setting, pay Hihou on Flinders Lane a visit, accessible only by a secret doorbell. For the best gyoza you’ll taste outside of Japan, head to Kumo Izakaya in East Brunswick. And for cheap and cheerful sushi that will fill you right up, you have to try Hinoki Japanese Pantry in Fitzroy. However, Melbourne’s coastal location means you’ll never be too far from excellent Japanese cuisine made with fresh, tasty vegetables, fish and more.
