This is a local gem. Having travelled to japan and tried many of the great Japanese restaurants in Australia, KoiKoi has delicious food, sake, great value and great service. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to try something interesting and great value. Guaranteed to be your new local Japanese !
Excellent food and service Highly recommended
really friendly service as soon as we walked in, asked about some gluten free options and the lovely waitress was so kind and understood what i was asking plus she always double checked that it was gluten free, the food was delicious once received, the service was quick and the food had beautiful authentic japanese flavours! loved my experience here
I love this restaurant, has the best Japanese food I have tasted. The flavour is beautiful and fresh and good value for money. I especially love the Anura salmon salad.
Fantastic Japanese food, highly recommend the Nasu Dengaku, the teriyaki chicken and the soba noodle salad. All wonderful. Every menu item is great, you won’t go wrong. Reasonably priced and the owner is very nice too!!
The best agadashi tofu around. Highly recommend the tuna tataki as well. Service is super friendly. Sake selection is pretty good too. Check out the specials. Love this place.
Lovely food lovely staff ! Highly recommended this real Japanese owned Japanese staff restaurant
So fresh sashimi so tasty chicken karaage salmon Abiru salad is amazing! Also Aburi salmon sushi is amazing too!
Very happy to had dinner tonight and very kindness for my Wallet。
Authentic and delicious Japanese. The kushi katsu took us straight back to our time in Osaka, and after being told the chef is from there, it’s no surprise. Other dishes were also ‘oishi’ including tuna tataki, chicken karaage, and a daily special; beef stew with bundles of sweet potato noodles. Generous serves. Good service. Great value for money.
We have been here before and it has really improved. The food was awesome, service is great and ambiance has improved ten fold. We had a great night and we were not disappointed about any dish. We will be back.
A real hidden gem in Northcote. I thought they didn’t exist any more the here I sit. Fantastic food. Polite and attentive staff. Real Japanese beer on tap.
Authentic flavors of Kyoto elegantly presented with exceptional service, and at reasonable prices. We had no idea we were in for such a treat.
The best Japanese in the whole of Melbourne. The freshest sushi it literally just melts in your mouth. The staff are so lovely and the food is so authentic you can just taste it. I've had my birthday here a couple of times and have dined here a few times, I also order off uber ways maybe 3 times a month I just live it so much. I highly recommend this place.
Lovely, friendly, efficient service; We had fresh, beautiful melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, perfectly cooked tempura prawns and fresh, perky gyoza. This place is a refreshing new post-isolation discovery for us and we'll be back.
Great traditional Japanese at good prices.
Went there last night and I noticed the Salmon in a roll I ordered was a bit "thin", mentioned it to the staff and I received a better complimentary roll with a much "healthier" serving of sashimi salmon. The chef was apologetic and everybody was happy!
Now that is service!
Incredibly delicious, reasonable prices and an excellent range of vegan/vego dishes. Highly recommend the Okonomiyaki, Yakisoba and the Nasu Dengaku - they'll all melt in your mouth.
Excellent place have visited a few times. And for those earlier negative reviews about portion size remember guys these are standard portion sizes in Japan for anyone that actually has eaten in a Izakaya in Japan you too would know the servings are completely adequate and more than enough. Do not compare to inferior food court meals that are oversized with no flavour and often made by Chinese. This place is run by Japanese people and that's how I want my Japanese food authentic and made by Japanese. This is a true authentic Japanese pub (izakaya). If you don't like real Japanese food then I suggest you go to a food court or a Chinese restaurant.

COVID 19 lockdown would not be the same without KoiKoi
A friend and I looked for a place to eat and chose this restaurant randomly. We ordered a selection of food. They were all cooked to perfection and delicious. The female staff who looked after us was super friendly. The price was reasonable too. Highly recommended.
