Quality Japanese food. I've ordered the Salmon don and bento box numerous times. Very fresh and tasty.
An impromptu random stop in Mitcham ended up with a quick dinner. We wanted to have Korean food but the place was fully booked. So we decided to try Japan Yomo next door for some Japanese food.
🔆LOCATION🔆
Japan Komo Restaurant is situated on Whitehorse Road, really close to the corner of Mitcham Road along the busy shopping precinct.
The décor is simple yet has signature Japanese displays. There is limited seating (maximum 25 people) with a bar bench at the back next to the register/bar area.
🔆SERVICE🔆
As we didn’t have a booking and the place was pretty full, we were advised the only seating available was at the walled bench area. This was fine with us as we weren’t planning to stay long for dinner. The staff were all Japanese, and it seemed like it was a family run business.
🔆MENU/PRICE🔆
We ordered:
Teriyaki Beef Bento, $17.90
(includes edamame, gyoza, salad, vegie croquette and rice)
Tasmania Roll, $20.90
(Torched salmon with special sauce on California roll with salmon inside)
🔆VERDICT🔆
Wow! 9 very generous size sushi pieces in the Tasmania Roll! We thoroughly enjoyed it. The salmon was lightly torched and had a nice smoked charred flavour. The rice was really fresh, soft and still warm. The avocado and crab meat along with raw salmon on the middle were all fresh as well. Yum!! It’s no wonder the charge $20.90 for this dish. It would be great if they could do a half-serve size (i.e. Entrée) as that would be a good meal size for 1 person hehe!
The Teriyaki Bento was also tasty. The beef was nicely marinated in teriyaki sauce. I particularly love the vegetable croquettes. It was soo fresh, soft and tasty. I felt that it was a little over-priced for the bento though. Overall, a good meal.
A very nice little place in the busy street with a nice Japanese lady looking after the restaurant.
We got the teriyaki chicken bento box and the pan fried gyoza for a bite. The pan fried gyoza wasnt the best with a batter going above it qhich ruins the texture.
However the miso soup and the bento box was top notch. Slightly on the higher end of the price scale, its still really a good experience for any kind of occasion.
