Amazing, amazing, amazing. Visiting from the Land of the Long White Cloud and this place is a must to visit. From the Pork Bao & Beef Rib Bao, we tried the Snapper as well and all we're 5 star!!!! The broth in the snapper dish is to die for.
The staff made us feel at home and do hospo proud, explained the menu and options well and we're very attentive 10/10. They must have known what music we love because the playlist was on �.
I will be back Tokyo Tina.
Tu meke!!!
Wanted to try everything on the menu so settled $55 chefs selection. The food did not stop coming. We were all sooooo full before desert was even served. Our waitress was amazing and super knowledgable about the items on the menu. Great night. Thank you.
I like the Bibimbab, not spicy enough for me and prefer having the rice cracker at the bottom. I’m in love with the crispy eggplant, it’s a must order! Absolutely nailed the art of deep fried. Not many other restaurants can do the same
The ramen was disappointing for that price as well.
Wouldn’t recommend
The food is pretty good but the service can be hit and miss. Wrong items were added on on tab which were for the table next to us. Items I ordered we missed. When the food does come out it's great. Would still go back for the pork belly.

👍🏻 what you should order: smoked duck bimbimbap, karaage chicken, all of their cocktails

Tokyo Tina is the type of place that you would go for a meal with your friends if you would like to indulge in asian fusion. Do not come here if you are looking for traditional Asian food - Tokyo Tina prides itself in serving a wide range of Asian dishes with a slight twist.
After a few visits, I’ve come to realise that if you order the right dishes, you are guaranteed to have a good time. Some of my favourite dishes are:
1. The smoked duck bimbimbap: do not pour all the chilli sauce if you don’t enjoy spicy food. We usually pour about half and it’s sufficient. Really enjoy the smoked duck.
2. Karaage chicken: who doesn’t enjoy crispy chicken alongside kewpie? This is a classic favourite which went well with their cocktails!
3. Eggplant chips - not as crispy and rich as the ones I had at some Sichuan restaurants, but the honey coat works well.
4. The yakitori sticks were delicious - not the best we’ve had, but perfectly charred and full of flavour
5. Tokyo Tina also had a good selection of sashimi dishes. We wiped the kingfish sashimi and yellow fish tuna clean!!
The dishes that we found to be less appetising were the pork belly bao - the pork belly meat was a bit dry and portions were small. The pork hock was also quite tough and hard to cut through. The pork and kimchi gyoza also didn’t work as well - something about the pork meat tasting slightly odd.
Having said that, after 2 visits, we now order our favourite dishes and really enjoy our time at Tokyo Tina. The drink selections are especially good - I haven’t had a cocktail I didn’t enjoy at Tokyo Tina. The great music playlist and top notch service are also huge pluses - it’s no wonder the restaurant is consistently crowded!

FOOD
I was definitely surprised by the number of dishes & how full I was after my meal. I especially loved the eggplant, cauliflower & ramen dishes!
The service was very professional & friendly.
The restaurant has a really trendy hippy Japanese vibe, being close to Windsor station. Staff are very friendly but food was really outstanding, especially the Kingfish sashimi, Chicken Yakitori and Wagyu tartare. What is served is a modern interpretation of Japanese food that is delivered with perfection in presentation, flavours and textures.
Good food, friendly service!
Absolutely love this Asian fusion gem on Chapel! I've dined here multiple times, and try something new on the menu everytime - I'm sure I'll work my way through the entire thing soon! All of the dishes that I've tried have been outstanding - my favourites are the kaarage chicken, wagyu beef skewers and the charred cauliflower.
It's always great vibes in there and its nice sitting outside with the heaters on when its a little colder. Staff are very friendly and attentive also.
I heard they do bottomless brunch as well so will have to head back to try it out!
Good Service and the food is so good, will come back again.
The food was amazing.We ordered feed me, it was fulfilling. Mushrooms and avocado bao was the star in the vegetarian meal.
Excellent food
Excellent location
Excellent service
Excellent wine/cocktail/saki selection
Enjoyed every mouthful and minute here last night. Thanks so much!!
I had heard lots of good things about Fonda and decided to give it a try! The burritos were interestingly very healthy using substitutes instead of rice and other fillings. There were some interesting choices of margaritas and I loved the one I chose!
The food and drinks are a bit expensive and medium size, so it’s not a place to go to for a big meal or to get drunk. If you want a Mexican place with delicious tasting food and drinks to enjoy however, this is your place!
The staff were beyond friendly and it was a pleasant experience all round!
The food was tasty and the service was good, but the vibe and ambience were greatly lacking. It was like eating take out food in a food court or similar - just happened to be seated inside.
My eldest daughter found the food too spicy and didn't enjoy the meal (except the chips).
Food was good but not the best Mexican place I have eaten at. The drinks weren't bad either. Prices were standard for a restaurant. Overall an good but not great place.
Also, no table service which was a bit annoying.
It’s a beautiful restaurant with a great set up. It will definitely catch your eyes on the Chapel Street. The food was delicious with their set menu worth every penny. Their drinks could have been better but apart from that the chicken burrito and chips were just absolutely remarkable!
Came in on Friday night for dinner and the food was delicious! Emma was really nice and provided great service throughout the evening. Will definitely be coming back!
