2 people, came at 5:30pm on a Saturday. Everything was perfect. We also used Groupon for the all-you-can-eat option. The experience was amazing. A dream tucked away in a private lane. Our personal favourites were the diced beef miso (which was absolutely lovely and tender) and the mixed tempura. We ate SO much for 2 people. The food was amazing, especially with how cheap the all-you-can-eat option is, too cheap for how great the food is here! Even for a Saturday night with great weather, the restaurant was pretty quiet with a few other customers, it was quite pleasant. The service was great too, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself was very aesthetically pleasing too, the walls covered in old style Japanese advertisements and red lanterns lining the roof. We came out very satisfied and happy, will most definitely return to this amazing little food haven! Definitely recommend coming here!
Went here for dinner, it was super good.
Ordered lots of food and service was really nice and food super filling. The staff even offered to store birthday cake for us and knife to cut and candles.
Delicious food, small share plates and reasonably priced. Not the best ambiance and staff whilst friendly were a little lost, but worth it for the food which was very tasty. Not the best I’ve had but not the worst...
A very hidden place that’s located in a private lane in the city. With only a hand full of reviews on Zomato and little recognition I can truly say that it is worth going for if you’re craving quick, cheap Japanese buffet.

Japanese buffet (coupon used) $22 for adults

Took ages for us to find! When we entered I instantly fell in love with the unique and very traditional decorations. The staff welcomed us with open hands and made fell at home. The food coke at quite a even pace so it wasn’t too quick but there some dishes we still had to pester them with so it was a bit inconvenient for us. With $22 it was too cheap! We could order endless amounts of sashimi, Nigri, fresh cooked prawns, tempura, soba, mussels and SO MUCH MORE. Definitely bring your coupons to get your moneys worth. Although not all of the dishes are top notch the seafood was defiantly fresh, except the tempura prawns and mussels. Tempura prawns were too greasy and the oil they used tasted old. Green lip mussels were icy cold, they couldn’t thawed them some more 😭. But salmon,king dish and tuna was so fresh! Melt in your mouth delicious. Favourite was the squid nigri although the amount of rice was sooo much I loved the creaminess and texture of it. We also takoyaki which was ok but I have to talk about the gyozas, don’t come here for them they are literally bought from coles..I can guarantee it. They’re not made in house and the mushy and thick skinned dumplings tell me. Ice cream was beautiful and the kids loved it (they ordered 4 servings and definitely overdosed on green tea, black sesame and vanilla ice cream). The most shocking thing is that drinks is included in the all you can eat but can only be ordered once (INCLUDING SAKE AND WINE red or white!!). This is probably the cheapest Japanese dinner I’ve ever eaten at, with a limitless supply of fresh, raw seafood... $22 is way too inexpensive. Love love our servers they were interactive and sooooo nice!! Will back thank you Tokyo-ya!
A little hard to find but a gem worth searching for. The food quality is good and portions were discern. Really good customer service too. This is definitely not the place where buffet lovers will have to be afraid of servers neglecting you just cos you’ve ordered too much. What you see in the menu is what u get- no extra carbos to deter you from eating lesser.

Bought Groupon vouchers and had lunch with a few colleagues here. Small and cosy cafe with creatively decorated wall. Ordered the tempura bento set. Portion was generous. Prawn was fresh; fried in nice crispy batter. However, the tempura vegetables was a little too soggy and oily to my liking. Service was great although there seem to delay in food delivery.

Nice place to have lunch because of the wide site. The lunch special is valuable and tastes good too. The service is good and fried chicken is tender and not oily.
Food was very good and had a large variety of choices. Service was quick and efficient and staff were so friendly!!! We will definitely be returning soon and is recommended to anyone.
Happy to report this is as a great little spot for a great Japanese cuisine.
We got all you can eat buffet with me and my wife and a toddler.
Staff was very very helpful. I say this after getting locked in the bathroom, so they were very friendly.
The food was delicious and we tried almost everything on the menu.
For 29$p/p we ate brunch for 2, absolutely full with 2 drinks.
Amazing value for money, amazing taste, amazing staff.

We came here last week. Good ambience and food is good. Very high quality food and service is nice. Price is reasonable. We definitely will come back again
Great all you can eat Japanese restaurant! We went there for my birthday dinner and were impressed by the delicious dishes and friendly staff. The sashimi and mussels taste fresh, and we enjoyed EVERY hot and cold plate we ordered on that menu. Authentic Japanese restaurant that I will recommend to all my friends!
I was invited to this newly opened Japanese buffet restaurant.
The location was kind of hard to find because of all the construction maintenance going on around them.
The ambience was casual Japanese design not the very traditional style.
Currently they are doing a grand opening/Christmas special for their All You Can Eat menus.
This includes sashimi, sushi, muscle, sliced beef etc for the price of $29.80 only!
I am very impressed when I found out they even have bubble tea on the menu!
Their staff probably need more practice on the English convo side. But still managed to get what he meant.
I also heard that they will be doing a New BBQ menu soon :) cant wait to try the BBQ out.
I will definitely come here again with my friends and family.
Food is pretty good and the service is efficient. The ice cream and diced beef taste great. shrimps are fresh as well. The environment is good for friends dinner.
Good Japanese restaurant in a not so good location.
Went here for dinner and liked the food very much even tho not all dishes are authentic Japanese (coming from my Japanese friend).
Udon was super delicious, fried chicken was nice and crispy, tofu was in point but sweet potato chips were just the normal ones deep fried.
Still enjoyable and unbeatable prices for the quality!!! Will be back
Awesome customer service.The pork gyoza was perfect and well fried and not too oily which really fascinated me.The dipping sauce was good as well.Talking about teriyaki chicken, it was bloody awesome and the sauce made even juicy.The red small chunks i guess pickle but that was really sour and so good to mix with rice.Overall service was good with perfect portions.The sitting environment was unique.Would come again to see you guys.Thanks for today’s dinner❤️
Had my partner's 31st bday celebration at Tokyo 7 and will most likely have all our events here haha! We cannot recommend them highly enough, the place, food and staff were all amazing! All of our guests were impressed as it was a last minute change from the house party we were supposed to have . But due to restrictions we had to look for an alternative and Tokyo 7 has exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we walked into the restaurant we felt at home with the warm greetings of their staff, they were so friendly and professional at the same time. They made sure all of our guests were very well looked after. We all had a great night and I'm sure anyone who walks into Tokyo 7 will leave with the same joy we experienced. Thanks Tokyo 7! job well done <3
The place looked very nice,I was fell like sitting in Japan staff 😚was very friendly and quick service :)The food was good. Good size portions - small enough plenty to choose from the all you can eat as well as sake or wine, that you can try a few different things.
Highly recommended if you’re visiting Melbourne.
Thank you for our great dinner ;)
Absolutely delicious food, great customer service and beautiful experience all together. Highly recommend and definitely saved in my maps to go back!
