This restaurant was one of the best Japanese dining experiences I've ever had. We ordered the kaiseki meal and it was amazing. Every dish exceeded my expectations, And was well with the price we paid. It was a 6 cost meal but it came with 7 dishes which was a surprise. Each dish was very filling and of high quality. We were pretty full after too! I cant believe the range of food we got for how much we paid, every dish was meticulously put together. I HIGHLY recommend Wakenbo! I would definitely come back and get the kaiseki meal again One of the best meals I've ever had!
It's unbelievable how underrated this restaurant is! Wakenbo, this elegant contemporary Japanese restaurant, is hidden down a side street in Fitzroy. Chef Kenji and his wife Noriko showcase unique inventive dishes using Japanese vegetables and herbs they grow in their own garden - fermenting, smoking, dehydrating, and air-drying them themselves. It's a no brainer that they put all their efforts in their dishes which change regularly! We grabbed Chef's Selection Omakase. We got Mix Appetisers and several popular menu items which I can't remember anymore They were all incredibly delicious. It was clear that the chef really tried to bring out the natural flavors of each ingredient. I have to say the service here was top-tier and absolutely exemplary. It was a busy night but Noriko still managed to serve us with a beautiful smile on her face, describing each dish in a kind comforting manner. Thank you for a memorable night, I can’t wait to come back! - #melbfoodiemark #Wakenbo
Wonderful Japanese restaurant. Recommend by a Japanese friend. The food was very traditional with modern presentation. It was fantastic highly recommended!!! Yummy sake options too!!
Give this place a shot if you're after a fine dining Japanese fusion food. Everything was immaculate from the ambience, service and to the food! There is nothing that I can fault at all. Ordered the Omakase Kaiseki 6 course degustation set. Must I say everything served was perfection! You can tell that the chef and the floor staffs are passionate about their food and it shows in each course served. Food was delicious and artistically presented. Thanks Wekenbo for giving our family such a memorable experience! We will definitely be back! Their menu changes every 4 weeks. Be sure to book ahead to avoid disappointment!
Food were absolutely delicious and very well presented! The service was incredible! Super friendly and accomodating. Highly recommended!!! I had ordered the Kaiseki and I absolutely loved everything that came along. Although it is only a 6 course meal, but the portions were incredibly generous and the flavors of each component really complement each other super well! A very balanced and fulfilling meal. I will definitely come back here again!
One of the best Japanese restaurants I have been given to eat at. The cuisine is inventive, beautifully presented and has a great combination of flavors and textures. Like the cuisine, the interrior is decorated with exquisite taste. The waitress had a heart of gold, and even gifted me my second desert. She made my dinner memorable with her kind, sincere attention. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.
My Japanese friend had told me about this place a while back. Finally got a chance to go there for a dinner. The owners : husband and wife, Kenji and Noriko. Very warm and friendly people. The place itself so cute and has beautiful interior. I've been craving Japanese hot pot. We've ordered the seafood sake hot pot and pork belly. The portions are pretty descent .. and the our meals were so tasty! I didn't realise this place has been around for around a year. If you love Japanese cuisine, you should add this place into your list.
This place is amazing from the time you walk in the door. Small place but beautifully fitted out. The mixed entree plate was really good - hilly nice textures and flavors. The slow cooked octopus sitting on the avocado was sublime. Seared tuna was faultless and I liked the wagyu cheek as well. Desserts did not disappoint. The head chef Akira and Noriko on the floor were lovely to talk to. Will definitely return!
My favourite dining experience in Melbourne. Intimate, creative dishes, great service. I can't wait to visit again.
Tucked away in a small street underneath an apartment complex off Victoria street lies this small gem. This small semi-fine dining restaurant sits around 25 pax serving Japanese food. The dishes have great presentation although lacking anything special that elevate the flavours. Interior have been designed immaculately in modern and romantic style. Food - 7 Service - 10 Vibe - 10 Price - $$$$$
