I plan on being a long term patron and feel I've found myself The Japanese Restaurant of choice in the South Eastern suburbs. The decor is clean and authentic, sporting metal tables, adorable Japanese art and mood lighting. There is a Sushi Chef at the end of the restaurant who you can watch prepare your fresh sushi or sashimi, it's a delightful place to be if you truly appreciate Japanese food and culture, as I do. The staff are incredibly sweet and attentive too! The menu is authentic. There is a couple if ways to approach ordering depending on your mood, group and such. The entree options can be ordered almost like tapas, the mains are filling on their own or you could order the platters of sumptuous sushi with fresh wasabi and tasty pickled ginger (not the sad looking pink stuff.) You can leave satisfied on $20 or $60. I think even if you are Japanese foods number one fan or just discovering the hidden treasures of the cuisine, I can not imagine you will not be pleased with your visit to this fine establishment on Hampton St. Enjoy!

Thinking about it makes me want to go back now!! We also ordered the Sama Fish. This was amazing. Grilled to perfection! Beware it can be a bit too fishy for the uninitiated. The surprise quality of the night was the the agedashi dofu! Best I've had in a long while. Decent amount of bonito flakes sprinkled on 4 cubes of perfectly cooked tofu .. lightly fried on the outside with soft centre tofu inside. This mixed in with a salty bonito broth!!!! OMG!

It is clearly in direct competition with Shiranui, which is located closer to the main part of the shops, but if you've managed to get a park close to Century City, or if you're after Japanese cuisine impulsively and without booking, you're better off dining at Yokohama. The food is really quite good, if a bit expensive. My preferred dish is beef teriyaki, which is absolutely delicious. It's $27.50, so it isn't outrageous, but I've had equally good beef teriyaki for a bit less than that elsewhere. Maybe it's just my impression that the serving size was a little on the small side for that price. The service is good, with polite waiters and waitresses who are attentive to the customers. The décor is neatly laid out, and the atmosphere is pleasant. I've got terrible hearing, so most places I go, I need to strain to join in conversation with my friends, and even then, I miss half the conversation. This isn't much of a problem at Yokohama Teppanyaki, even when it's busy.

Friendly service, with our waitress wearing a traditional Japanese outfit. Extensive menu with good vego and vegan options. Very reasonable prices.

They also do take-away.

There are a few problems though: There need to be open windows. 1. Is to get air moving around and 2. The noice in the restaurant can be extremely loud when busy and you can't hear yourself think. Another reason is service. Okamis I have been to (including Frankston) have had an issue where Customer service lacks. Once I came in to the restaurant before a couple next us us and that couple got all the food that they ordered in an instant. I just had to sit there and wait forever. Other than that it is great and would definitely recommend!

It's a small family run business and the hosts are very friendly and welcoming. I made sure to make a booking as I didn't want to turn up disappointed without a seat. It was fairly busy on a weeknight which is great for a small business. There were so many things I wanted to try on the menu but I'll just have to make another trip here. It didn't take long for the food to come out, we also ordered a sashimi platter which I didn't take a photo of because we devoured it. The sashimi pieces were nice and fresh which made it very easy to eat. The tempura udon noodles were perfect and delicious. Great for a cold Melbourne's day. It complimented well with the umeshu jelly drink. I will definitely be coming back here again

Delightful. That is the one word to describe the experience of eating and drinking at Uni Boom…read moreBoom. I have been reading about this place for quite a while, but it is not conveniently located and the hours it is open are not particularly convenient either (I lived in L.A. for a long time, everything is alway open and its tough getting used to 3 - 5 p.m. closures), but I will go out of my way for quality food, and quality is what I kept hearing about Uni Boom Boom, and I'm so glad I made the effort. Yes, it is completely as described, in an industrial area next to a roll up garage, and yes, they have done a great job of the interior of this cafe - it does have a cafe vibe, but is done well, certainly not over the top on decor. Food and presentation is another thing. I love it when restaurants with unusual dishes offer a tasting plate, and that is what I ordered - it offered a Lychee Edible Nest Drink, which is one of the things I really wanted to try, and it was delicious and cold and served in the most gorgeous little pineapple shaped cup. They also included their foie Gras dish, also superb. Australian Uni, also very good. Braised Abalone which was tasty but more whole than braised and a small salmon sushi bite, which could have had more salmon, and way too much rice, but fabulous taste and texture ! I actually took some salmon sashimi home - the absolute best I have had in Melbourne, and thoughtfully packed with ice. I also tried their uni and salmon cones, which were very good. I also had the Peach Gum tea which was delicious, and what I loved about it was that they asked what level of sugar you wanted added. You could also have it hot or cold and choose how cold. I love drinks extra cold, and this did not disappoint. It was also served in a larger version of the pineapple cup. There is a choice of 3 deserts, all containing the Bird's Nest prosperities. The ice cream was tempting, but I went for the macaroons which also came with the birds nest tea in a clear container, shaped like a bird ! and a spoon that was heart shaped ! just delightful ! Definitely coming back and committing to a full portion of so many other wonderful things offered, especially the sashimi which looked fresh, thick and oh so tasty on a couple of the other tables. Definitely worth the drive and fitting in with their operating hours !

Inside you'll find sea urchin and edible bird's nest, two of the top 10 most expensive ingredients in the world. The exterior of The Roe can be deceptive. Customers have said they thought it's a normal warehouse walking past everyday until they heard music or chatter, walked in and realised it's a private restaurant that specialize in Sea Urchin and edible bird's nest. We wants to find the balance between keeping the metal, quirky character of the warehouse and making it comfortable. The light-filled space has been fitted with informative posters of edible bird's nest and sea urchin, acting as a experience cafe for crafting experimental sea urchin dishes. The Roe specialized in sea urchin and edible bird's nest, sourcing the ingredients from its mother companies, Pacific Sea Urchin and Sen Lin Tang (AUS) Pty Ltd. We loosely revolves around Japanese and Chinese cuisines. The menu is inspired to allow customers to enjoy Australian Sea Urchin and edible bird's nest at a relatively affordable price.
