Best Japanese restaurant in the suburbs. We come here on a weekly basis. Service is fantastic and food is incredible. Highly recommend. Never had a bad dish or experience here. Consistently good. Must try!!!!
Awesome food. Great service. My new favourite place. The waitresses are very attentive, and will assist you immediately when you require help, or ordering extra food.
We had the Sashimi and sushi plater, and i was very satisfied with the freshness of the ingredients. Felt like i wad in japan's local restaurant.
AMAZING PLACE WITH AMAZING SERVICE.
This place is very cozy, with traditional and authentic japanese decor.
The food here is very worth the price. You can taste the freshness in the ingredients instantly, when you take a bite.
I went there with 6 of my mates, and all of them were suprised that there were such place in camberwell.
Strongly recommend this place!
These guys have come a long way since they opened! Quick dinner out for two with a light and tasty fresh tuna salad and a fabulously hearty pork katsu don with a delicious egg sauce. Great value. Yummo.
I went to Tonari with a group of 5 on Sunday night. We ordered the sashimi 20p with salmon, tuna, and whitefish, assorted tempura, fried breadcrumb oysters, fresh salmon and chicken California rolls, chicken katsu don, and salmon teriyaki. Every dish was sensation and the seafood was very fresh. The service and ambience of the place is brilliant, which makes it a great little gem in Camberwell. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to try Japanese.
One of my friend and I had dinner yesterday. We ordered sushi+sashimi platter and vegetable tempura. The platter was fresh and creative. Thus the tempura veg was crunchy and delicious. The staff explained dishes well and was very kind. It was great experience. We would come back!

Really sad to see such bad ratings for a great restaurant! Been here twice and have never had any issues with food poisoning.
Staff was quite lovely and attentive, and the restaurant was very cosy!
FOOD WAS DELICIOUS. Had the tempura California roll, takoyaki, pork gyoza and chicken oyako don.
I could tell the California roll had just been made as the tempura was still warm. It was complemented so well with the avocado, WAS SO GOOD. Takoyaki was crispy on the outside, flavoursome and soft on the inside, gyoza was just like others I have eaten (very delicious).
The chicken don was very delicious, but overpowering and quite salty, definitely needed to dilute with the rice.
Overall very happy with this place! Will definitely be coming back, 4/5 bloated
We only discovered this place last week- how could we have missed such a gem? Food was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented! Service was lovely and very accommodating! We are so happy to have found you and will be back very soon!!
I had momo, tempura and udon when I went there with my wife and friend. It was gorgeous and awesome. I love this place. And also good atmosphere. I recommend very highly. The best sushi and Japanese food in Melbourne.
My friend recommended this new Japanese restaurant at Camberwell. It was a absolutely awesome Japanese restaurant has friendly service, warm greeting and gorgeous food plating. The food was so nice and reasonable prices. I can say it is the best Japanese restaurant that I've ever been :'))
Wanted to go here for quite a while, but always seemed to walk past at lunch when it was closed. I had the dumpling and vegetable Udon with my friend the Teriyaki chicken. I was very happy with the dumplings and quantity and tasty soup with the nicely cooked Udon noodles. Great friendly service and nice peaceful atmosphere.
Really nice atmosphere in a small cozy restaurant. Some of the nicest Japanese food I have had in Melbourne, it's my favourite local place! The food is priced really well and the quality is great. You definitely get your money's worth.
The ambience is homely and the staff very friendly. The menu is fairly simple, but with all the Japanese classics that you would expect to find. Sure, there are better Japanese restaurants in Melbourne, but not for the price you pay at Tonari. Excellent quality, flavours and textures. Well worth a visit for a mid week dinner or Friday lunch, where you will see many familiar faces returning for their regular Tonari fix.
The lunch menu is very well thought out. You got to choose from a variety of entree and main, with rice, miso and pickles. The pork katsu lunch set is crispy and tender. The fish lunch set is fresh and high quality. The place is well setup and cozy. Will go back.

We had a family dinner for 8 people at this lovely local Japanese restaurant. The atmosphere was quiet and pleasant, staff were friendly, service was quick and food was excellent quality. We ordered several of the starters. The Tako Yaki and Okonomi Yaki were yummy. For mains we had Unagi , Teriyaki Salmon, Beef Sukiyaki and some tempura. All were tasty. Will definitely be back to try some of there other dishes.
What a fabulous & friendly experience we had @ Tonari. So friendly & the food was fantastic!!
We had the Pork Gyoza, followed by The Pancake, then a Mixed Tempura & ending with the Beef Short Ribs.
All delicious but hubby thought the ribs a bit chewy, so maybe the Beef Terriaki next time.
We had a lovely bottle of Sake to wash down that beautiful meal. Thank you, & we'll see you again?!!
