Calia is honestly such a beautifully presented cafe in both its interior and the food. I love this place so much, and wish I could visit again!
Had the scallops, so damn delicious. In fact, all the times I have visited here I have left feeling very happy and my experience is always a positive one.
Good work guys, I really don't have anything negative say, which is amazing. Also, try their boba cake, its tiny but delicious.
Brown! Sugar! Boba! Cake! Is the best dessert to ever exist! You can also taste the quality of the ingredients used (in the savoury dishes). Great spot for lunch.
One of my favourite places to eat at in Chadstone! I always get the pork bowl, the salmon aburi or the wagyu bowl- the price is a bit steep but the quality is there. I also love the cute convenience store they have at the front, you can find a lot of niche Japanese items there
Ordered delivery via easi, preparation was very fast while the food (especially rice) is a lil cold and lack of sauce for aburi salmon :o
Very good service but due to the pandemic, it took a while to get a table.
Never have to wait for a sit like in Emporium, since I can get booking before going there. Nice decoration and sitting space with quality food as usual. Will also craving for a wagyu bowl, aburi salmon and amazing boba cake🥰
Calia brings a touch of luxury to Japanese cuisine, priding itself in using only the finest ingredients. Think Sukiyaki Bowl with A5 Japanese wagyu beef, and Ultimate Bowl with uni and foie gras. Obviously the pricing reflects the ingredients used, so it’s not exactly a cheap feed here.
The Aburi Salmon and the Sukiyaki Bowl both showcased bold yet balanced flavours, definitely an enjoyable feed. The salmon was a tad dry, but given that this meal was delivered, I am giving it the benefit of the doubt that dining in would present a better experience.
Very much enjoyable was the Miso Crumble Cheesecake – smooth and creamy cheesecake, with a buttery biscuit base.
The retail store attached to the restaurant offers you the opportunity to purchase the ingredients used in their dishes for you to try to recreate the experience at home.
Was very impressed by their customer service!! The waitress forgot to put in our order, so we waited for long. When we followed up, the manager came to us, and without trying to cover up or saying the food will arrive shortly, she apologised very politely and honestly and explained what had happened. She then said our food was on them because of their mistake. We found it very generous and thanked her. But it didn’t end there. She offered complementary drinks, brought us a complimentary entree from the kitchen, and offered a complementary dessert (which we refused, but thanked them for the offer). We found it extremely nice, and a clear sign that they take their business seriously.
On food, it’s solid good. I have been to Calia city a couple of times, and now in Chaddy, have tried several things and all are good. Only thing I haven’t enjoyed was gyu tan don (Ox tongue) which was on their specials list. It was too chewy.
The wagyu beef rice is excellent. Very good environment.
Nice food but slightly overpriced imo
