Great, cheap Japanese food. The way real foodie dining should be. What Matsuya's may lack in authentic Japanese dining it makes up for in good dishes, fresh ingredients and a lively atmosphere. There is nothing pretentious about Matsuya Japanese Restaurant....read more

I haven't ventured far past the oyakadon (apparently meaning mother and child...with rice (don)) which is appropriately plentiful in the egg and chicken combo. The katsu curry is crisp and delightful, likewise the gyoza. I can also recommend the yakemeshi...read more

This is as close to Shopping Centre eating one gets without being surrounded by thousands of parked cars, but busy Yoyogi, stituated near the busy intersection of Bourke and Swanston, is worth a visit. For tourists, or those who have...read more

Within suburban Kew is hidden one of Melbourne’s great Japanese restaurants. Fomerly a butcher’s shop, Ocha is regularly booked out weeks in advance. The tiny shopfront barely fits 30 people into a gorgeous room. There are two dinner sittings and...read more

Like McDonalds, at Macchiato What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG in computer acronymous talk). The meals are either pictured or on display, much like the former king of the fast food world (I believe Donuts are now in)....read more

Hanabishi took out the Epicure Best Japanese Restaurant Award of 2003 (The Age). It was family business that led my to King’s Way, near Bourke Street. A sparse room, utterly unpatroned, greeted us early on a Friday evening. A delightful...read more

Tokio is a little Japanese Eat-In or Takeaway near Bourke Street Mall. It is opposite Laurent, gazing at those cakes would test everybody’s limits of self-control. At lunch hour is is peak hour. Any other time and Tokio is quiet...read more

Located within the Melbourne University Student Union Plush Fish is a great business for the owners and for the students. But queues can reveal two realities. One is a meal too fine to imagine but the other is less palatable....read more
