Delighted to know Namoo is still offering takeaway and delivery during this climate. On a Saturday evening, we ordered Namoo Platter, Yaki Platter, Beef ribs bento and Ebi Tempura. The delivery was so smooth and staff’s been very helpful.

I’m truly impressed by the epic Namoo Platter - $69 for 24 pcs of Sashimi, scampi, prawns, nigiri and wasabi-marinated octopus. What an amazing deal for generous portion of fresh sashimi/sushi in CBD area! Prawns that evening have been extra fresh as they tasted so sweet.

Their Yaki Platter ($18/6 pcs)’s definitely drool worthy as well. Each skewer was so delish and grilled to perfection. My faves have been Chicken, Pork Belly and Prawn.

Beef rib bento - Love how tender and nicely marinated the beef is! Quite generous portion of beef ribs offered.

Last but not the least, don’t forget to get their Ebi Tempura. Soo crisp on the outside and inside the prawn’s soo juicy and fresh!!

Definitely a wonderful fix to my cravings.

Situated in the CBD, Namoo offers a relaxed atmosphere paired with a quality dining experience.

Holding true to its Japanese heritage, we found each dish was characterised by fresh, quality ingredients, executed simply yet perfectly, to create a tasty and satisfying meal.

Food
We decided to order the soba salad and Namoo salad, and let's just say I was very impressed with both the taste and nutrition, at a really good value both for under $13! They say eat your rainbow, and youll definitly hit that nutrition goal with these salads, with edammame beams, radish, seaweed, cucumber, pirple cabbage and brown rice.
The amount of sesame dressing in the soba noodle salad was just right, unlike a lot of other Jap cafes where the dressings are poured into the salads in overly-generous amounts. Definitely looking forward to coming back for another Namoo rice salad!

Ambience
Everything about this medium-sized restaurant is cute - from the "were open" sushi sign and vintage bike at the outdoor entrance to the Pinocchio doll on the wall. I really enjoyed the dark atmosphere made all the more romantic by the low neon lights. Good place for an intimate Friday night couple date ;))

Customer service
The workers there are extremely nice, had a smile for us from start to finish and even offered to let us order from their lunch menu instead of the dinner menu when we didn't know they had a different menu!

It was time for lunch and I decided to meet Joanne | Melbournecitay for lunch.

The service at this restaurant was really friendly and professional. My pork belly w rice and salad; was really tasty. The pork was soft, the salad fresh and overall this was a really pleasant meal.

This restaurant was great value for money and definitely worth a visit.

It’s a good place to chill and drink with your friends at night. It’s a little bit quite before 9pm, but after 9pm the place is getting busy. The staff are really friendly and nice, I love the food and will come back again.

If you see a lunch crowd here, it’s really easy to understand why. Namoo is one of the better Japanese options for office workers in this area. I’ve come here so often that it has become my default option when work gets crazy. Absolutely love their sushi rolls - the avocado salmon and tempura prawn are my favourites. The brown rice is delicious on its own and they also add a sweet sauce to the tempura. The prawn also remains crunchy regardless of what time I order the rolls

I have also ordered their udon and rice dishes. It’s much better to eat those in store rather than in a takeaway box because the curry sauce is very generous and your rice might get too smothered in it. Love the flavour and chicken is well cooked. My favourite among the ala carte dishes would be the chicken curry udon.

The food was fine, but there's no value for money here. I don't mind paying for quality food but I have had better at other places for less. Maybe it because we had take away. It's a places you need and hour or two, to sit in and order a few things to share and enjoy the food. It ls a lovely little setting, hidden away, an I would love to come and back and experience the dine in. 3.5 ☆

10/10 will be back again. Everything on the plate is quality, beautiful, and yummy. Usually come here for lunch but dinner presents a different menu I had to try. Nabe is enough for 1.5 so ordered a salad. Servings are generous. Store is clean and staff are attentive. Came at 6 and food was out very quickly.

Delicious! The food was very good, got a whole meal with so many different kinds of dishes for only 30 dollars. Very filling. The presentation of the food very accurate. The location easy and had great music in the background. The kitchen was open till late and even if they closed they let us finish our meal with no rush. Great job!

Good meal. Nice environment. Chicken katsu was a bit dry. Presentation of the food was good. Bingsu was a bit expensive for such a small portion though.

I highly recommend this Japanese eatery because of their customer service, excellent friendly staff & wonderful quality dining experience. Wagyu Steak I was stunned at how well cooked the wagyu steak was with the nice searing on top. The wagyu steak itself was so juicy, tender & a delicious eating experience. Namoo Platter: The platter comes with assorted 24pcs Sashimi, Scampi, Oyster, Nigiri, Tacowasabi & Octopus. The generous portion of the sashimi/ seafood on the platter was very fresh & goes well with the dipping sauces included in the Namoo platter. Vegetable Nabe: The soup was the perfect combination to follow up with the main dishes. Very light soup and highly recommended. Soft-shell Crab Roll: The sushi roll was delicious. It was perfectly rolled with generous filling of the crispy soft shell crab.
