the lobster brisque was really good, though the lobster was over cooked. The lobster linguine was probably my favourite because the lobster was nicely cooked :) the risotto was lovely too. The tuna entree was probably my least favourite.

When we arrived here, we had a great welcome with the staff. However, when we ordered the lobster, they run out off it. We were disappointed at that time, but the staff kindness helped us to ordered one from another shop. When we have the dishes, it was shocked me. Like it was amazing and lovely food. I really love the lobster.

We had the mixed berries Japanese soufflé pancake and the tropical garden dessert.

The tropical garden dessert was very refreshing, with a citrus flavour.

While the mixed berries Japanese soufflé pancake was super soft, served with vanilla ice scream, strawberries, blueberries and grapes. It melted right away in our mouths!

Definitely a spot great for dessert, while we will definitely have to try their food the next time!

The food here can be considered expensive given the lobster roll is $30 (!) but one may consider it worth the money - we had the lobster risotto and it was everything we wanted and more, so creamy, succulent and cooked to perfection. Even came with a mini bisque on the side.

We also had a few dishes from the Gyoza Gyoza side, including tamago (surprisingly cold?), pork and garlic gyoza, karaage chicken with mustard miso (chicken was crispy and well-seasoned but the miso didn’t taste like much - might just order the ordinary chicken next time) and the soft shell crab salad (just the right amount of crunch but on the smaller side). All the food was well cooked and came out quite fast so we didn’t need to wait long at all!

The yuzu sorbet drink was too sweet unfortunately, but I don’t have much of a sweet tooth.

I didn’t go to a Seafood Disco last night, no, because I didn’t want to pull a mussel 🤭

And while some people don’t like fish puns, they kinda kraken me up 😂 🦀

Unabara means, in Japanese, sea or ocean and when I found out about this place the one single thing I could think was: I am taking a boat trip to Japan, yaaaaaas 🥳

But don’t worry, I didn’t need to marry any fisherman, because I don’t need someone to string me along 💃 this little place is just at the CBD and they are so popular that they have two locations just one next to the other!

Both of them look beautiful and inviting and if there is one thing you can be sure when you visit them is that not only will you have the best service and food but they actually even know a fish’s favourite song! 🎶 Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you drown 🎶

It’s the true ultimate place that a Japanese and seafood lover can ask for!

The menu is not only very interesting but they have a few unique items with lobster and also play around with desserts and defying-that-creativity-line drinks! They also have a all day brunch menu with very good looking items with that mix of Aussie and Japanese style that I absolutely love, so this place has from its concept to the actual reality a huge expectation by the consumer - that doesn’t disappoint!

The prices are quite reasonable for the brunch menu and the rest and more seafood based option is quite more expensive but still a fair budget. It is certainly good value for money and you have find options for everyone ☺️

After going through the menu, we thought it would be a good idea to try a couple of entrees, mains and a dessert so here is what we had:

- Grilled Corn - not only it came beautifully presented but the actually taste was incredible and insanely good 😍 I have to confess that I haven’t tried grilled corn until last year (shocking I know!) but since I discovered, I have become addicted to it and have tried quite a few! This on in particular was outstanding not just for the portion and looks, but the actual taste! They use a Japanese sauce on the bottom and that takes this item and that ‘simple grilled corn’ to a whole new level! It was a great starter and would have it again 👏

- Tilapia Sashimi with Yuzu Dressing - we went a little beyond our comfort zone when it comes to sashimi and escaped the usual tuna or salmon. The kind fish option sounded pretty good too but this is not a very usual option in Japanese menus so we decided to go for the tilapia! The waitress also highly recommended it and it came nicely presented too, with 4 pieces of a thick and fresh tilapia. A very appreciated entree again, and I regret not asking for more sashimi actually! The quality is really good and I would recommend 👏

- Lobster Egg Benedict - when it came to choosing some mains, oooooooh, that’s when the problem started 😂 in a good way! They have so many good options that I seriously couldn’t decide which one to go for. Their most popular options vary from grilled lobster with fries (similar to fish and chips) to lobster with mashed potato but we thought that it would be interesting to see how they would plate and create a lobster version of an egg benedict! Portion is good and it’s definitely eye catching and insta-worthy (more in real life than pictures to be honest because it was shot indoors and we all know that’s not the best option 😂). It comes with a huge tall toast slice with lobster meat on top and creamy hollandaise sauce that was INSANE 👏 the curious thing about this meal is that that combo not only works wonderfully well but they take it a step further and add a 63 degrees poached egg on top of that. Oh WOW 👏 the taste is incredible! Because it wouldn’t be a breakfast item without the famous avo, they plate it nicely with a rosette sliced avocado on the side 👌 if you’re a seafood lover, you’ll love this. It you’re a breakfast lover, you’ll love it even more. If you don’t like any of those, what are you even doing with your life? 😂 definitely a good one here!

- Lobster Linguine - this was one of the popular options and an absolute must try for me. And while I was thinking I would be happy with it, I never thought it would be THAT good. This seriously surpassed al expectations! With fresh made pasta the pasta was perfectly cooked and seasoned with a tomato flavour that we might have or might not have fought about it 😂 I cannot believe this was so good still! The best part is definitely in my opinion the pasta and the whole sauce that it comes involved in but wow the grilled boston lobster that a true experience! We had to open it using our hands (although we were offered a clam cracker!) and the meat inside was SO GOOD. This is a winner. Period. Do it, my friend, go for it! 👏

- Octopus Tentacles - we thought about going for some calamari but again, why not try something a little more bold?! Deel fried octopus tentacles! These were crunchy and not oily and that mayo, oh my god, the mayo 😍 I am still not sure it I would rather have calamari or the octopus as this little side dish, but I genuinely loved this option and I think the serving was also quite appropriate 👏

- Unicorn Temptation - for the piece of resistance! The ultimate drink 🥳 they have a special drink on the menu that while we were considering the options, we absolutely had to try! I honestly cannot remember the ingredients of the juice but I remember it was vegan friendly and the ingredients were quite appealing to me with summery fruits! The fairy floss on top is just so extra and so so sooooo needed 😂 I remember also that the price was around $16 and it sure can serve 4 people, being a very good value for money! 👏 would recommend for taste and obviously for an incredible insta-shot!

- Tropical Garden - for dessert we had a couple of good options but I had already laid my eyes on this one and it wasn’t negotiable 😂 why? Because this is a raindrop mochi that I had never seen anyone else in Melbourne doing so it was obviously a must try! The mochi is not like your usual mochi and it had a semi hard jelly consistency! It’s quite wobbly too and very amusing to watch it giggle and to eat it 😂 with comes with honey comb and incredible and must add on black sugar syrup and as topping they use a crumble, passionfruit and mixed berries. The edible flowers were incredibly appreciated too 🤗 portion isn’t massive but I guess this Isolde of a gourmet item and quality overrides quantify for sure 👌 it’s - good treat to share at the end of a meal like we did but I think that having 2 smaller plates with 2 raindrop mochis would be a great idea too because I don’t want to share this again 😂😍

The environment was very pleasant and the people around us were also having a great time and very happy with their experience, without a doubt! Even though this place goes a little more above your usual brunch, I think it’s definitely worth those extra $ for the quality of food and for the service they provide. It makes sense and it’s still reasonably priced. Plus, the exclusive items they have is worth the time and money for sure 👏 what a great experience!

We came here and had the teatime set which is a $15 deal where you get to pick two tapas and have a drink. We ordered the kimchi gyoza and cheesy okonomiyaki. The gyoza was really crispy and delicious and the okonomiyaki was really good. We also ordered the japanese iced coffee with mixed soft serve and that was really good too.

We went there for some evening snacks, and we were taken by surprise with their awesome and delicious food items from Japanese to Chinese to cantonese. All the dishes were really fantastic and very pocket friendly. Also the ambiance is pretty cool and has friendly and welcoming staff. We had one takoyaki, a delectable Japanese dish, which was cooked really well and one fried rice, which was equally fantastic. Although from quantity wise, its quite disappointing.

This food was so bomb they had to call a terrorist response unit. I would literally spend the rest of my life soaking in an never ending bath tub of their seafood boil.

4.5. Located inside the Emporium Shopping Centre, this restaurant was very convenient to get to, and also great for after dinner shopping!

They serve japanese tapas style food - so it was great to come with friends and family to share food and have fun.

We ordered:

TAMAGO YAKI - Japanese egg omelette - This was served cold, with seaweed pieces on top and with some sauce to dip it in. You can see the different layers as you pick it up with the chopsticks, as it was rolled together carefully during the cooking.

TORI NO KARAAGE - Deep fried bite size chicken pieces with salt and pepper - This was very crunchy, but a bit too salty for me.

EBI TEMPURA - Deep fried tiger prawns coated with light crispy batter - The batter was so light and when drenched in the sauce provided, it tasted really nice and fresh!

WAFU STEAK - Grilled steak with wafu sauce - This arrived in a sizzling hot plate and was very tender and flavoursome.

PAN FRIED GYOZA - Minced garlic and pork gyoza - These gyozas had a lot of flavour in them and was nice and hot when it arrived.

GRILLED SCALLOP WITH CHEESE 3pcs - This looked awesome when it arrived, however, the cheese didn't add too much to the flavour and was a bit light in taste.

GRILLED HALF WESTERN AUSTRALIA ROCK LOBSTER - Garlic butter and mash potato - glazed with Kombu Shoyu and fried garlic. Served with beer battered fries and side salad - The lobster looked amazing, and the meat was really nice, however, there wasn't too much meat in this lobster as we opt for the smaller lobster option. The mash was really nice and creamy.

MIXED BERRIES SOUFFLE PANCAKE - Served with fresh berries, drizzle with honey, topped with fresh cream and vanilla ice cream - This was worth the wait (it said 30min wait but it wasn't really that long especially since you are eating and waiting). The souffle was very airy and light, and wobbly! That's how a good souffle should be! Along with berries and honey, it was just so delicious!

We had so much food and loved the souffle! It was a great dinner, thank you Unabara! I'll be back for the other desserts I had my eye on!

We went here with friends after our road trip. We are craved for seafood and ordered oyster, lobster and scallops.

The oysters are so fresh and we ordered ponzu, natural and yuzu salt. Ponzu is my fav among them.

The grilled half lobster is great and served with salad and chips. The sauce of lobster linguine is just perfect match with the lobster and linguine.

We had a great moment here.

Unabara is a seafood-lover’s dream come true. Specialising in lobster, oysters, and fresh seafood - you’ll find plenty of options from lobster rolls to pasta dishes with a Japanese twist.

After a long and hard contemplation, we went for the Tokyo Lobster Roll, Lobster Linguine and Lobster Risotto.

My favourite of the three has to be the lobster roll - honestly, you can’t go past it! Buttery brioche bun that’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with cool and refreshing lobster meat encased inside. The nori, avocado and tobiko complemented the lobster really well, and the wasabi mayo gave a nice kick! It’s also served with the crispiest beer-battered fries and a delicious and warming bisque.

The risotto was quite unique, made with buckwheat which added a nice and chewy texture. The egg was poached perfectly - the yolk was runny and it paired so well with the risotto. It’s actually quite light in flavour, and creamy but not overly heavy. We polished it off clean!

The linguine was delicious! The pasta was cooked perfectly, with a slight bite. It was served with half a lobster, which looked stunning on the plate. It’s tossed lightly in garlic and lobster oil, and again not too heavy either.

The hospitality was exceptional, and we were well taken care of by the staff. Definitely worth a try!

Thank you so much for having me!

It’s a Japanese Lobster Restaurant I guess, I like the environment, very neat and bright. The services are very good too! I ordered Lobster Bisque and Prawn Cocktail.

Both Bisque and the Prawn were great! The Bisque soup is creamy and feels good in my mouth. The lobster it self are thick and totally worth it. You will also taste a very different flavor with the prawn, taste very nice like never before.

I might wanna try another dishes for the next stop at this restaurant.

We ordered a Tokyo lobster roll, cheesy okonomiyaki and a soufflé. The lobster roll is cut in half, which is suitable for 2 ppl to share. It tastes pretty nice and fresh. Like the combination of wasabi and mayo in the lobster roll. The soup has strong seafood flavour but it works pretty well with the wasabi sauce. Nice okonomiyaki with creamy flavour.

We came on a Sunday afternoon without a booking. There were a few spare seats and the restaurant remained a comfortable 2/3 full for the remainder of our lunch.

Service was warm and prompt.

We ordered the half grilled lobster with mornay sauce (400g), lobster linguini and okinawa soft shell crab roll. The lobster was good. Well cooked and a reasonable size. My mother was full at the end. The soft shell crab roll was in a brioche bun. Well seasoned and quite yummy. Both the above came with a small serving of beer battered fries and a generous dollop of ketchup. I had the lobster linguini and the serve of pasta was generous and the sauce very yummy, with lots to spare. The lobster with my linguini was a touch too salty.

We were served water quickly after our order was taken and they refilled this multiple times during the seating.

I would come back again particularly if I was feeling like a lobster linguini or similar bisque.

It is centrally located with a very happy and welcoming vibe. The food was tasty and you can tell its fresh. Lobster Roll was full of flavour, while the bisque packed a punch.. Highly recommended

Ordered the classic new york lobster roll. It came with a side of chips, a ceviche and salad. I shared it with my sister and it was quite delicious despite us both having quite different tastes. The ambience is nice and the location is very convenient. The lobster tasted fresh especially with the ceviche. The portion size is perfect for one individual but as we were planning to eat else as a good pre meal before many desserts!! Next time i would like to try the chilled lobster which i did not get as they had ran out of the 250g option and only had 400g. Hopefully will come again soon!

Service was excellent. We ordered the seafood platter for two. It was a little bit pricey but we come from the country so we were happy to pay for fresh seafood. You got one or two of each type of seafood for each person.Left with full tummy's. Would highly recommend.

This restaurant offers some of the best seafood in Melbourne, along with top champagnes and wines. Service is spectacular, attentive and friendly. Today we enjoyed Daintree barramundi with crayfish segments, parsnip cream, special cray sauce and fresh asparagus spears. The crispy decorative parsnip on top was a delicious treat. Top quality crays were served to happy patrons too. This restaurant is an excellent choice for those going to the Regent Theatre next door, the great service will have you to the door on time and well fed and watered!

Amazing dining experience. Spoiled myself and had crayfish that was so fresh, superbly prepared and I can't stop telling people about it. Service is first class; responsive and fast. Yes, a little bit pricey, but that's the way it is with quality ingredients. Already planningy next visit there. Well done, guys!

Taste was amazing! It is a little pricey but I guess you're paying for high class meals so you can expect high class prices. If portions increase a little it might be more worth the price. Overall, a great dinner out.
