Taketori

Taketori takes Japanese dining to Melbourne’s CBD, balancing comfort and craft with an eye for detail. Familiar favourites sit alongside statement plates, inviting diners to explore the breadth and depth of the menu's bowls, bentos, noodles and sushi.

To begin, classic donburi sets the tone, with tori teriyaki don and oyako don offering soothing flavours on rice, while bento devotees can look to the teriyaki chicken bento or Japanese beef bento for neat, well-rounded sets.

Seafood makes a confident appearance, whether through briny-fresh oysters or the gleaming sashimi platter for those who like to share. Elsewhere on the menu, unagi fried rice, shake teriyaki, and beef tongue rice provide deeper, savoury notes.

For those seeking something warming, the ramen delivers, from the richness of Wagyu beef ramen to the umami-laden Kyushu tonkotsu ramen, with each bowl crafted for satisfying comfort.

Whether it’s a quick city catch-up or a leisurely meal, Taketori rewards curiosity and appetite in equal measure. Settle in and let the flavours do the talking, with chopsticks at the ready.
