Tasty food, really fast service. The owners are really nice as well. First time coming here and sad to hear that they will be moving to camberwell, however I think this will be much better for their business as mount waverley is pretty quiet.
LIT!: we ordered the katsu curry and the gyudon. The food was delivered quite fast and the customer service was so friendly. On a cold night, they even provided a heater next to our table! Winner was the katsu curry.
NOT SO LIT: nothing surprising for the quality of food and serving size could have been slightly bigger. We were shy of feeling full.
Thanks for having us!
Despite a very curious name, Nuts Chan is a fairly nondescript Japanese restaurant ensconced in the Mt Waverley shopping village. A post-lunch Google search told me that Nuts-Chan is actually the name of the owner's name. The restaurant is modest and a bit run down but has a very homey feel to the place. My katsu don was simple but very tasty. The pork was deliciously marinated and tender; and I loved the sauce and how it mingled with the piping hot rice. The steamed egg on top gave the dish a lovely richness.
Good Suburban Japanese, can't complain about $1 for a pot of tea! Good agedashi tofu. I'll be back soon.
Nuts Chan is a cute little Japanese cafe located on the corner of Stephensons Road and The Hwy in Mount Waverley. We dropped in quite late today (about 30 minutes before closing time), but they were more than happy to accommodate us.
They are primarily a takeaway cafe, with a single table visible at the window, but also have a few tables available hidden at the back if you wish to dine in.
The staff were very friendly and the service was quick. The dishes were a bit of a hit and miss, but it could have been because we arrived quite late in the evening and they had already started packing away the ingredients. I’ll definitely be back again in the near future to try some of their other dishes (at a more reasonable time so they aren’t rushed!)

Our favorite local restaurant. Warm and friendly service and consistently good food. They recently have a great $1 side menu where you can get 2 gyoza, a scoop of green tea ice cream or other sides (limit one per person). Despite us soon to be moving out of the Mt Waverley area, we will still make the effort to come back and support this little local restaurant.
Food is pretty average but decent, and portion size is good. Atmosphere is very homey. So it's a pretty good choice for a quiet lunch with colleague on a workday when craving for some homey comfort food.
Low key dinner in a very laid back setting. Cheap Katsu at fourteen bucks which was exceptional value as it included a fair amount of chicken. Next time I'm keen to try a bento box.
good honest japanese. you wouldnt take your date here by any means but more then a pass mark for japanese on the go or on your lunch break. Check it out if your in the area and craving some sushi!
A cozy and authentic japanese restaurant. Had katsu-donburi and it was delicious. Presentation wise could be better. The price is reasonable. The owners are not japanese, probably korean. I came on a hot day, and was offered me a bottle of cold water from the fridge. Will come back to try others.
One of the nicest Japanese restaurants in Melbourne.
Quiet and extremely friendly. Sushi chef on hand full time.
Great selection of hot foods and very fresh sushi made to order. Personally recommend the beef donburi.
Basic dessert is 3 types of very nice Japanese I've cream - red bean, black sesame or green tea.
Very welcoming to children, also great place for a night out as a couple.
Best Japanese I've had, also plenty of options for my vegan girlfriend. The eggplant dish is so incredibly amazing! Great for a sweet tooth! Cute homely decor! A very welcoming and happy restaurant! So happy we found this little gem! We live within walking distance so we'll be back! Thank you for a lovely evening!!!!
Our favourite Japanese with friendly service and consistently great food. It's a small, cozy and unassuming restaurant with great quality sushi and sashimi.
I recommend the double sashimi chirashi, NutsChan roll, cream korroke, eggplant and karrage chicken.
Even though we have moved out of the Mt Waverley area, we still make an effort to come back to this great little local.
such authentic japanese food! the owners and all workers are so friendly, and the food is fresh and delicious. i recommend the double chirashi bowl, which is full of fresh sashimi and vegetables with sushi rice!
