The flavour mix is amazing. Charcoal grilled pork belly; drizzled in a sauce that includes apple, pear, sake & soy sauce; in a roll or on rice. Yum.
So good, the Pork Belly rice bowl was the best!!! will definitely stop by when back in Melbourne.
Twice cooked pork belly roll. Nuff said.
(... okay the Cannoli is not theirs. But its close by =P)

Wasshoi prahran- Located in prahran Market within its own booth, Wasshoi offers Japanese style rice bowls and rolls with its meats grilled charcoal style. Good service and food was prompt despite attracting large crowds especially during lunch hours. Price is reasonably cheap for Japanese food. Beef tsukune don- hamburg style beef doused in fruit soy sauce. Delicious, beef and tofu patty bursting was soft and full of flavour. Fruit soy sauce complemented it well, but perhaps too much sauce and overly sweet to appreciate the flavour of the patty itself. Mayonaisse was on lettuce but would've been much better on the patty itself. Homemade kimchi on itself was tasteless but was refreshing when eaten together with the patty.
Twice cooked pork belly- effortlessly soft, beautifully layered pork. Charcoal flavour much more evident. Again the sweetness of the sauce blanketed flavours of the charcoal on the pork and the addition of Mayonaisse would have been nice. Overall still very delicious.
I could see myself eating this for lunch regularly if I was around the area, price is reasonable for serving size and quality.
4/5, Little tweaks can see the dishes elevated to a 5/5. Will be back to see how their rolls fare.
Super tasty rolls, pork belly was amazing. Yuzu juice is great. Well worth a visit

Excellent long cooked beef & pork, innovative cuisine from Japan! Relies on its strengths with a limited menu made of all their top specialties.
A must do in Prahran
A great little spot in Prahran market. Their menu is small and they have a simple offering - Japanese-style grilled meats in rolls or dons.
I like that the menu is not over-complicated and everything is delicious. The meats are always grilled to perfection and the sauces are delicious. They also have lovely Yuzu juice or Orion tap beers, which perfectly compliment the food!
Literally the best pork belly don ever, juicy and tender meat with their special sauce, so tasteful and not salty at all. The chicken don also very good
Try it and you will love it - the Twice cooked pork belly was the star of my lunch. Tender, fragrant and flavourful, if you love pork belly this is a dream comes true. My friend had the Twice cooked chicken don which was also mouth watering. Don’t forget a yuzu juice to finish the meal. My only complain is the heavy use of plastic containers and utensils; next time I will definitely try the beef tsukune and yakiniku!
An underrated gem in Prahran market is this Japanese yakatori bar. I had the twice cooked pork belly roll with a yuzu juice to wash it down. Love love loved it! If you love pork belly then you have to try this place. Tender, juicy, sweet, flavourful pork belly. I have nothing bad to say about this place at all. Order a roll, sit on one of the stools, and enjoy the greatness that is Wasshoi.
This place is located in Prahran market. Very good food and the service is friendly!! quick and very tasty!! oishikatta desu. arigoto gozaimasita kin-san!!
delicious grilled to order tender meat on crispy tiger bread rolls. The beef brisket is especially good, I would also recommend getting their yuzu drink.
$8 sake of the month was godly and a big pour too. The pork belly don was amazing, but a bit strange that lettuce was used. Miso soup also tasty. Very good fitout and bar at Prahran market. Recommend!
I was recommended to try this place because I was told the pork belly was amazing and they were right. The twice cooked pork belly don was so delicious, the twice cooked pork belly was so tender and flavoursome.
Holy smokes! The beef brisket roll is next level tasty!! So much flavour going on, the meat is super tender and the bread is soft inside with a thin crusty layer outside. Amazing!!!
This was a really lovely experience! I can't remember the name of my dish, the beef was tender and tasty and plenty of flavours in the bowl worked really well. My partner ordered the sake, the guy who who explained the bottles was awesome and the sake itself was so smooth, something really special. This place far surpassed my expectations, restaurant quality in the middle of the market. Amazing
10/10 The food was amazing. The staffs were super nice. We had the pork belly rice and yuzu lemonade. Definitely would recommend. 👍👍
The meat in the don here was absolutely fantastic and the flavours were perfectly balanced. The staff work in a very fast manner and the open kitchen was insanely clean at all times - impressive! The yuzu juice was fantastic too and great value in the meal deal.
The pork belly rolls and the brisket rolls are ridiculously good. You can grab a beer and sit at the bar and have the best lunch ever while doing your shopping at the market. This place is the best.
