Always love this place. The food quality, and its price make it affordable and worthy! The service is very good. The place always tidy and neat. I love the ambiance, as if we're somewhere in Japan.
Oritas Japanese restaurant is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Melbourne I've been to! The sashimi is super fresh and for only $68 you can get a large variety of seafood. Although the tempura prawn took a slightly longer time to come out than other meals, it was worth the wait. The tempura prawns was to die for as it featured traditional tempura you don't often see in places outside of Japan! The staff, as expected, were smiling, had polite manners and professional service. The entrance although was hard to find, but all in all, a great dining experience, family friendly and delicious food!
They sever good food, creative fusion style. Particularly seafoods are really fresh. Food price is reasonable. They update old menu, food was totally different with before.
Seaweed salad was very great. Veggie gyoza was to die for. I absolutely loved the decor and jazzy music. Staff and customer service was exceptional. Would definitely come back
5/5 re-reviewing as they've got new owners.
This place has actually got better than before! Last night we had a terrific meal and staff were amazing too.
Started with edamame - you can't stuff that up but the Gyoza vegetarian were delicious.
Ginger chicken was the crunchiest we've ever had anywhere and the flavour was incredible. Salad was so crisp and I commented I've never had a salad that crisp and fresh ever.
Beef tenderloin came perfectly cooked with vegetables but the fried rice and chicken was 10/10.
My only criticism and this will get way more people through the door is take off the $15 fee for corkage. That's way too high!
Premium food quality, great service and ambience! Great value for lunch. Good place for intimate meal for two or small group.
Food: 5/5
Service: 5/5
Ambience: 5/5
Orita's is always consistently good. No surprises to the menu. Where it doesn't win for new creativity, it makes up for with good service and food quality. Sushi is probably not its strong point, but the grilled prawns and other hot mains are delicious!
This is probably my favourite Japanese restaurant in Melbourne. The restaurant has a fantastic ambience and makes a great place for a quiet, relaxed meal. The service and food are impeccable. The staff members are very friendly and attentive and carry themselves in a professional manner. There's a counter through which you can see inside the kitchen where the chefs are preparing and dishing up the delectable plates of food.
The sashimi here is extremely fresh and arranged beautifully on a chilled dish. The duck breast from Orita's is the best I have had in Melbourne. The meat is so tender and succulent, and the sauce is wonderfully light and not overpowering. Another favourite is the prawn Zosui, which is a rice dish served in fish broth.
Orita's is more expensive than your typical Japanese fare, but it is well worth the money. I usually only come here on special occasions.
this place is amazing! tempura sushi is the best ever!
it cost u some bucks but you wont regret to spend some money on sound service and fantastic food.
please try that sushi!!!!!!!!!!!
Had a midweek 3 course lunch for $30. Can't go past the good food. Sashimi was very fresh and nice. Wait staff though could have been a little better. Overall a great meal with family
Had a fantastic evening last night! Great food, amazing service and the ambience was wonderful! You really do need to check this place out for yourself! Food was fresh and super tasty! MUST TRY!! I will definitely be back!
Very impressed! Each course was delicious and all of the staff were welcoming and very friendly. The restaurant itself was cozy and pleasant and was lovely to sit outside by the heater. Thank you! Will definitely be back.
I love Japanese food and I dine out in Top Japanese Restaurants around Australia and Asia like Nobu. Orita’s food is outstandingly fresh, simple and delicious especially the Sashimi Gyoza and Grilled Dori. My partner had the Juicy Rib Eye which was unforgettable. It is also great value for money. I strongly recommend for Good Food , Service and Ambiance.
AMAZING!! Beautiful. Gourmet. Elegant.. My fiance and I found Oritas about a year ago. We shared a banquet which was absolutely amazing. The service, the food and the ambiance is superb. It is has a feeling of warmth and intimacy inside. The restaurant is traditional with a modern twist. Before going to Oritas, I wasn't a huge fan of Japanese food, but that would have been because I hadn't tried anything quite as good as this. I could eat there everyday if I could. The price is reasonable and the staff are very friendly & accommodating. We went again last night and everything was consistent with the previous visits. Cannot wait until our next date at Oritas!
Beautiful food and wonderful service. The food is very nice!! The seaweed salad is very fresh and tasty. Wonderful experience and definitely will come back
Pleasant and cosy atmosphere. As a Groupon deal we had the evening set menu. Despite this, the servings were generous, varied and tasty. The staff, as others have commented, were attentive and very efficient. The restaurant is well appointed in the Japanese style and very cosy. If the weather is warm they also have balcony seating. We had a pleasant dining experience and I would recommend this restaurant.
10/10. I have been a couple of times now. The service is on point and the food is on point. I highly recommend for any occasion. Every meal I've tried I have loved but definitely start with the sharing platter and the chocolate mousse cake. Yum!
Great food and staff. Food was delicious plenty of it and the staff were friendly and professional. Would definitely go back :)
Orita’s is the kind of place where I’ll keep returning for my favourites – I know exactly what I’ll order and I know my expectations will be met each time.
Excellent service. Excellent sashimi and sushi. Cooked dishes also very good
GR8 Experience. Hey We dined @ Oritas for my sons 21st >>>>a party of ten
Did the banquet and were so impressed, service amazing, food kept coming, which made the night one to remember especially the diversity of the dishes most I would not order but glad someone did it for us
We brought our own Polish cheese cake (bit naughty but how can you resist) and they were only too happy to assist.
Def be back and the guests love my choice of venue for such an occasion
So thanks Guys
Yum Yum Orita's share platter. I can highly recommend Orita's. We normally have the lunch special (Three Course Lunch), but not this time, our family got their take away share platter for 6 and loved it.
GREAT FOOD GREAT SERVICE. Been there many times always nice, love the Tempura Prawns and the Duck
A Heart Stopper. I've been back a couple of times so I think I'm confident enough to say that.
Sashimi was fresh, the steaks are excellent (whether with teriyaki or peppercorn sauce), friendly staff, and overall charming ambience. I would suggest booking in advance particularly on a friday or on a weekend just to be safe though. The only complaint I would make about the food is when the chef is out. But you know what they say; When the cat is out, the mice come out to play.
Better Japanese then Nobu. .... Better Japanese then Nobu.
This place serves quality good that is worth the price you pay.
Hard to find a better japanese place in melbourne!
Very nice experience. Not sure how Japanese it is but the steak and chicken were perfect and the shishimi was lovely. Service was excellent. Def worth a try.
Very nice high quality food. Luch was extremely good value and yummy. Dinner with good variety. Orita has a pleasant fine dining atmosphere. The staffs are very polite and attentive. This place deserves much more attention. Can't wait to go back
The love affair continues. Yes, love the simple yet rich interior, moreover Orita-san creations ... no mind-blowing offerings, just great consistent semi-fusion/traditional Japanese food, highest quality meticulously prepared as always. Thank you Carla for accommodating our party on short notice, well done team Orita, I wish that you are closer to our home.
Felt like stepping back in time to an 80s fancy restaurant experience from the decor right up to the hand written receipt at the end . Food was very good: we had two platters - sashimi and California roll / nigiri.
Green tea ice cream was exquisite .
Definitely recommend and will return for some meatier dishes which looked tantelising .
Exceptional. Food was amazing, service was amazing and the atmosphere was amazing!
Would highly recommend - as other people have - to start with the appetiser entree to share
Would return for sure!
Yum. Sashimi was amazing and very fresh. Boneless beef spare ribs just melted on my tongue.

Mimi & Ria's Japanese Rating Guide. Thursday 29th June - Orita's in Toorak
It was only fitting that our 3 month anniversary for Japanese Thursday be celebrated at Japanese fine dining. Our randomized selection process happened to be on our side.
Orita's was incredible.
Amazing share platter with steak that did literally melt in your mouth.
Great service, however she took our pretty chopstick holders which we planned on taxing.
Best mains so far with great presentation and a nice atmosphere with water feature out the front.
Result: 49/50 = Super! Green Sticker.
Loved it!. Lovely atmosphere, all four of us had different entree mains and desserts and thoroughly enjoyed each one! Go with an open mind and enjoy!!!
The first Japanese fusion food I have liked.. Nice little upscale Japanese fusion restaurant in Toorak. The garlic rice, steak and chicken breast teriyaki were all very tasty, and well presented. The vegetarian gyouza a little flavourless. Overall the food was good, although it's definitely fusion dishes with chicken teriyaki and mashed potatoes and pumpkin (!), to suit the Aussie palate. Having said that though, it does have a flavour not found at your usual Aussie eatery, so two thumbs up, as the concept works.
The ambience was nice, although there are very few tables that seat two, we got a window seat which was nice, but the large white paper sheet on our table, wasn't very attractive or classy, and very mismatched in an otherwise nicely decorated space. The service was OK. Would return.
Highly recommended for private function. I had a dinner party at Orita's with friends and families for my husband 50th Birthday. They are professional and very flexible to organize everything according to our needs and requests. Great food, great service and atmosphere. We were very happy and my husband had a memorable birthday. Highly recommended for your private function.
Best service, great food and thoughtful customer service. They offered to take a photo of our family during our meal for dads birthday and gave the photo to us afterward :] thank you Orita's. We had a great time and we enjoyed your Dishes very much!!
Impeccable. Orita's absolutely nails the balance between pure Japanese and Western type of cuisine. The food is sensational and will surprise your taste buds in a pleasant manner. The food does not only taste good, but it also looks amazing on the plate. The service is outstanding and it really makes you feel welcome. Will highly recommend it for special occasions.
Hidden gem of a Japanese. This place is fantastic.. you'll need a bulging wallet, but I've marked a number of special occasions at Orita's.. the food quality is amazing, the thought of the sashimi makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
They have an amazing steak, it's a wagu, and it cost me about $100 bucks, but it was from another world!
Love Orita's... see you next special occasion!
First time dining at Orita's tonight and had the 9 course banquet for 2 people using a voucher. So delicious and so much food! Highlights were the salmon sashimi carpaccio and the hearty wagyu beef hotpot.
Restaurant is beautiful and has a great ambiance; service was personal and attentive.
Had a peek of their a la carte menu, everything sounds delicious - will definitely be back to try more of their food :)
definitely a hidden gem in toorak such a good place to dine very lowkey modern and clean japanese food with beautiful presentation. also there service was amazing on our night
Love this place, come here all the time. Had excellent time with my gf for my Bday. Excellent customer service and environment. We enjoy the good food here.
Staff are friendly and helpful and the food is amazing
