Kinyoubi Izakaya - Melbourne

What a great find!! I really enjoyed my meal here. The staff were very attentive and I liked that. This place also does a pretty top seared salmon and seared scallop nigiri.

Wonderful experience! The food is amazing. I have been looking for a Japanese restaurant in Melbourne with an excellent sashimi and just found it! Service is very attentive too! I highly recommend this place.

I love Groupon, but I’ll be the first to admit their dining experiences can be hit or miss. This spot, however, was a massive hit. I visited with my partner and enjoyed a feast of miso, edamame, agedashi tofu, some incredible nasa degaku, veg sushi rolls and even vegan fried chicken !! It’s not really like chicken as it’s more crispy than tender, but delicious nonetheless. We also enjoyed a generous amount of hot sake and some green tea ice cream for dessert. The ice cream was just alright but the sake was nice and warming on a cold night. I would definitely revisit this veg-friendly spot, Groupon or not.

Charming izakaya with authentic Japanese aesthetic. Staff were really friendly. Got the tofu don lunch special which came with genmaicha. Good value, the tofu was expertly cooked with a crispy outside and silky inside. The sauce was delicious and the dish was presented beautifully. I recommend this place for a calming break in a busy day. I also noticed a poster in the window advertising half-price specials on specific weekdays including beer (Fridays), sake (Wednesdays), and chicken karaage (Mondays).

We go every Tuesday and the staff are delightful. Our favourite dishes are the rainbow sushi and the miso hot pot soooo good. Highly recommend for a beautiful experience from the minute you walk in the door. Nice music, I care about that a to in a restaurant, and very calm and charming atmosphere. Wilson and Winky are a total delight!
