Maedaya

Great quality food Friendly staff and Lovely service Fun party atmosphere Excellent dance music from 80s Complimentary saki from cheerful waiter Loved it very much!

Welcoming and cosy, modern and warm vibe and decor. delicious, unusual food. excellent service and prdering system. Wide variety of drinks to order. Loved sitting and dining at the bar.

This is one of our favorite restaurants for an easy but tasty dinner. Relaxed vibe, prompt service and the food just keeps on coming! What’s not to like? We just love the spicy sushi roll.

Enjoyed wide variety of japanese food and Nihonshu!! Good hospitality of staff with big smiles! This is the one of the must come Japanese Izakaya in Melbourne.

I booked this venue for the dinner with the visitor from Japan and he confirmed this restaurant has true Japanese quality. We really enjoyed many variety of food and sake. Definitely come back again!

We all enjoyed the excellent food and the variety. The service was also very good but we thought Corkage at $10 per bottle was too expensive .

Always love Maedaya. This time seated upstairs with our group of 8. Atmosphere better downstairs as it was very draughty. Menu changes from time to time. Not the same choice as before.

I have always had a fantastic experience here! Terrific food, very well priced and friendly staff

A bit pricey but worth it. Love the ipad ordering. They were quick and attentive, no complaints. Reservation is a must as gets booked out and people are often waiting.

Food was excellent. The waiters were very attentive and the service was speedy! Our experiences at Maedaya is always excellent and we have been going here for years!

Staff were very friendly and attentive. They catered to all of our needs and we had a great time celebrating our friend's birthday there! Thanks to the team at Maedaya :)

Food n service is good. The WiFi was down, after an hr, we found the food not arrive but the staff quickly resolved it. We have all u can eat bbq, was very good.,lots of choices.

Great food and service kids also had a great time

The restaurant was great and the food was really nice as well. not a bad neighbourhood restaurant you can go and catch up with mates for a meal

Came here on a Friday night in a big group. Place was great and food was great! The atmosphere here is always good especially for a weekend night

Great food, and attentive service. The small portions and variety of food meant you could try a bit of everything and not feel guilty for getting seconds! Looking forward to going again.

Maedaya is a local favourite. Always buzzing vibe, fantastic quality of food and service. Perfect for date night or catch up with girlfriends. Would recommend to all my friends!

great service, great food! Love the iPad ordering system. Great Happy hour deals also.

This was probably our 5th or 6th visit. We booked and were told that you have 2 hours then your out. We have never been disappointed with the food here. But I guess there is always a first time.

Great, interesting fusion Japanese food. The wines were Japanese but were true to description and went well with the food. The ipad menus made it a fun experience.

Always enjoy Maedaya, love their ipad ordering experience ...... food comes quickly and one can keep ordering till we are sated. Service is attentive and warm. Hot Green Tea is on the house and you can order this as much as you can drink. We do miss the Sashimi Salmon Salad which was one of our favourites ..... need to book to avoid disapointment.

Fantastic food and good atmosphere. Booking process a little quirky as I got sms messages to confirm as well as phone calls yet the restaurant was only about 50% capacity- perhaps technical glitches... But service is brilliant

Serive was amazing. Loved the whole experience. It was easy to place order and the staff were very attentive. Every dish that we ordered was delicious! Will be back for sure!

great place for Japanese food,Ipad ordering,food was great!!! great Beer selection,if you are into Matcha there are a few desserts and also a Beer will be back very soon

A local favourite. Food is always on point, service is efficient and fast. I love this place

We had great food and service and would definitely recommend. It was really great value for money and parking was ok. We will go again

Pretty great! Good food, very nice Bao, ordering system was not what I was used to but worked well, and it all came fast. All the staff were friendly, helpful, and nice :) Will definitely be going again sometime soon!

Very good place to eat and service was very quick. Grill food pretty good and easy to order via ipad, need to upgrade the ipad as its quite lagging sometimes.

Always great food and love the iPad ordering system. Great atmosphere for a quick meal or a large group party. Go for the food and drink combos!

It was good as per usual. Good servic, yakiyori good quality. First time I have sat upstairs, atmosphere is better downstairs. The alcohol selection is great.

This is not the first time we go to this restaurant. Food is so nice and the variety of Japanese sake and beer is excellent.

Enjoyed a Tuesday night dinner at Maedaya. The service and food were both exceptional, from their selection of skewers to their range of desserts (particularly the matcha cheesecake).

It's always a great experience when I go to Maedaya, that's why it's my favourite local restaurant. If you haven't been, I highly recommend that you go, it's got a huge selection of sake, and caters for those who assume that Japanese food is all raw. Quite the opposite, there is a huge selection of cooked dishes also.

Delicious vegetarian food options, great service and staff are very friendly. Some of the best Japanese food I've had in Melbourne. Very reasonable prices too.

The service was still wonderful but the vegetarian and seafood options have decreased and the whole menu has become more westernised which is a real shame as we used to love coming here. The iPad were super slow and are no longer easy to navigate like the tablets they had previously. Unless they go back to a more traditional menu in regards to the food we won't be coming back here.

Food: some are delicious and some are not very good. Services are good and price is acceptable. Environment is ok but not very good. The overall is OK.

Amazing sashimi, the food is good. The decor is old, and quite grubby. Our table was sticky and there was a massive hole in the plaster wall where we were seated. The wait staff were friendly. Ordering from an iPad would have been fine, but our iPad was not working very well so that was annoying.

Great selection of sharing plates that cater to all! Impressive beer and soju selection to choose from as well. Easy ordering via iPad system and attentive staff. Our local favourite!

Great food and good service.. get the grilled eel - one of the best in Melbourne... with a cold beer can't go wrong. Definitely with going for.

It was a nice experience and beautiful food. The menu in the ipads is such a good idea. Excellent service. I would like to come back

Always good friendly service and a great atmosphere. Have been there several times with different groups of friends a family and we all enjoyed it.

Awesome venue and convenient location. great atmosphere, delicious food and quick turn around on the food. bit $$$ but well worth it for a special night out with friends.

Food was delicious. Service was great. Huge drinks selection available. Nice sized portions that enable you to try lots of small dishes. Booking was easy. Would definitely recommend.

Great food, tasty and good way to experience Japanese cusine. Large range of drinks and great customer service. You will leave and want to come back after eating here.

Such great food and quick service. Good for families as they open early and very reasonably priced. I love a restaurant I can book on line!

Great food, quirky atmosphere and kids loved ordering from the ipad. The staff very helpful, food was delivered fast. Good for a quick meal on the way to the football.

Orders through the Ipad is a good idea. The place is quite busy so book ahead. There are a few dishes that take a while to come out, so order the faster dishes while waiting for the big ones to come out. There are a huge range of alcohol which is nice to try. The sushi dishes are very good and fresh. Just a suggestion, if each dish have a minimum preparation time, then it would be good to know when ordering.

We had a Fantastic experience at Maedaya. Food was delicious and staff were very friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere, even when sitting at the bar area.

Fresh and well presented food! Good location. Friendly staff and affordable bill. The menu might have been changed recently. Its better than the last one.

Love the fast service and great quality food.the front of house staffs are so friendly.+++great price as well.will sure to return soon.i would say it's one of the best yakitori in Melbourne.
