I haven't been here for ages according to my initial review which is odd as I know I've eaten inside this restuarant since 2017!
Anyway tonight I had a vegan gyozas, spicy tofu ramen, tan tan sesame creamy ramen and a mini vegan bean and potato burger.
To start, the vegan gyozas were absolutely delicious. Soft skins and a yummy filling.
The vegan mini bean and potato burger was nice, but it needed some more sauce for me.
My spicy ramen was missing some spice but it was full of soy caramel flavoured soup base which was absolutely amaaazing! The ramen had cashews, mushrooms and other goodies. This was a major highlight.
My partner had the vegan tan tan sesame creamy ramen which was texturally really tasty and full of full of vegetables.
With home delivery this place is awesome and definitely worth trying.

Hungry tonight I really wanted some Japanese. I ordered some Broadbill tuna which came in a bento box and OMGosh it was amazing!!! The vegies and sides that came with it were so fresh and tasty that they just melted in my mouth.
The only improvement that I could suggest was that the tuna was a little dry, maybe it was a little over cooked?? The accompanying sauce was excellent though.
My partner had a vegan ramen which I tasted and it was excellent, once again the flavours worked so well, and the broth was amazing!! Just delicious... I am sooo trying that next time!
This is one amazing restaurant, I can see why it was so packed tonight. This place is a MUST visit. Wow.
Very stylish and cosy place to eat. The foods were yummy. However, the waiting time for food to come was much longer than other restaurants. Guess the chef put a lot of love to the food?
The food here is delicious, not to mention looks so pleasing on the plate! My friend had the salmon while I had the sword fish. Couldn’t recommend enough. Such a great little spot.

There's something about Japanese food that is simple but wholesome, clean and delicious.
Ordered:
🐟 Panko Crispy Crumbed Salmon with wasabi tartar sauce in a neko neko teishoku meal set: served with 8 kinds of traditional and modern vegan osozai (side dish) + mixed black and brown rice ($28.00)
🍵 Matcha Soy Latte ($6.00)
Review:
The food was awesome. The crispy salmon was unbelievably light in my mouth, with a tartar sauce that complimented it well.
The 8 kinds of sides were pickled/dressed up/ in various stages of flavour. Each gave a different variation to the whole dish - essentially a whole different experience that you choose. Being able to have an adventure with my food is everything I want.
Matcha Soy Latte is one of the best I've had. Creamy and packed full of flavour. The bottle is heated and you use the paper cup to lessen the heat and pour it into the stone cup... such an interesting experience! Also gives Neko Neko the flexibility to serve it hot or cold.
Service was amazing. Kind lady with kind eyes and a great help in recommending the most popular dish. The inside is so Melbourne - great detailed interior with an abundance of natural light.
Neko neko is a fantastic place with great food, great aesthetics and a great vibe. Highly recommend and worth traveling for!
Quit quacking about hitting up other Japanese restaurants, this is it.
If you come at the wrong time, you don't get a seat, like it.
If you get a seat it is a better win than the lottery.
This menu is inspired. This food is exceptional. The presentation is dope.
For casual service their care is wonderful.
The style is tasteful.
I eat here whenever I am in the area and tables are open, you should do the same
Love the vegan ramens here. Tried all three of them and the spicy one is the most special and only mild spicy. The other two were also very tasty.
Vegan Japanese pancakes were not as per our expectations. They were made from nuts and soy beans with a beautiful salad. Very filling as a dish.
Vegan platter was ok.
Lots of people on weekends.
Service was very friendly on weekends but less so on weeknights.
Communal eating environment, be prepared to share a big table in the centre with others, limited space.
To access the toilet you need to walk through the small kitchen which can be a bit awkward.
This restaurants is great even for meat lovers! I ordered the vegan ramen and the soy mince tastes just like meat. I highly recommend ordering the prawn gyoza and salmon curry as well! Great service, friendly Japanese staff in a cozy location.
Went friday night with my gf. It was busy. Shared table with a couple of guys. Very lovely vegan ramen. Good umami. Well presented. Will go back sometime.
A really cute vegan friendly eatery in Fitzroy.
The place was quite small, so most of the tables are shared. We chose the window seat and it wasn't the most comfortable but manageable.
One staff was super friendly, as she offered to explain the side dishes as it was our first time coming.
Onto the food,
I loved the tofu and eggplant teishoku. The flavors were great, portion was satisfying and i love how all the side dishes compliments the whole dish, and of course the fact that the rice had such great texture. We added fake meat as well and it was just like real meat!
The ramen was a delight too, it was vegan as well but so flavorful. The noodle texture was to our liking though i didnt really like the fried wonton which contained the black rice, i think it can do with more shrooms, tofus and eggplant instead.
It was overall a great meal and i do enjoyed the dishes!

Super tiny place with communal spaces.
I had the chilli ramen with gluten free noodles and it was the best vegan ramen I have ever had and super generous portion too.
Hubby had the tan tan and enjoyed his too.
