Taketori Fusion Japanese Melbourne Cbd

Absolutely delicious, prestige and exquisite Japanese food, high-end collection of offerings at a very affordable price, elegant and pleasant environment, nice owner and staff, a hidden jewel in the CBD. Will visit again!

The food was so good! Customer service is excellent! Definitely have to try the beef hot pot(? If that’s what it called) the chicken schnitzel was perfect! Love the wasabi mayo sauce the boss or the manager was so generous, gave us an 3000% fabulous matcha thousand crepes ice cream dessert! Would definitely reckon this place to all of my friends. And this place will be our forever first dining option!

What a gem of a place, really happy with my sashimi set for lunch. Lovely fresh sashimi and a delightful assortment of side-dish satellites including rice, miso soup, seaweed salad, rockmelon, agedashi tofu and tempura fish. Also some of the tastiest pork gyoza in town. Many thumbs up.

I highly recommend Taketori for its delicious lobster sushi, Wagyu uni sushi, sukiyaki, and the cheesy scallop. I have visited twice in one week, and it is definitely worth trying.

- Tori karaage: Lightly marinated crispy chicken with mint sauce. The chicken was a bit damp, but still a good starter. - Salmon aburi sushi: Salmon nigiri torched with mayo and teriyaki sauce. The salmon was torched well and tasted fresh and juicy. - Taketori lobster sushi roll: Inside out sushi roll with lobster meat, egg, covered with torched salmon. This was my favorite dish of the day. - Tuna tataki: Fresh and smooth tuna. - Wagyu steak: Japanese wagyu steak with teriyaki sauce. The steak was cooked perfectly and the teriyaki sauce added a nice touch. - Shabu shabu salad: Wagyu sliced beef with sesame and ponzu dressing. The ponzu dressing made the salad delicious and the beef was cooked well. Overall, we had a pleasant experience at Taketori. The prices are on the higher end, but we would consider visiting again for a special occasion. Rated 3.75 out of 5.
