Japanese cuisine is a favourite among the foodies of Melbourne and Tokyo Tina is breathing some fresh air into the scene, a much welcomed alternative to the city’s many traditional Japanese restaurants and pan-Asian places. Showing that Japanese cuisine goes way beyond sushi, the menu at Windsor’s Tokyo Tina features an array of contemporary dishes, from small plates to bowls and bao. Chow down on some karaage chicken ribs with a hot gochujang sauce & lemon, some okonomiyaki Japanese pancakes with cabbage, spring onion and yuzu aioli, some spicy pork ramen or some fresh sashimi like the harvey bay scallop with white ponzu, yuzu koshu and chives.

For a lighter snack we recommend going for a bao bun like the DIY beef rib bao with bulgogi, pickles and kewpie. The fun doesn’t just stop at the food though – just as much thought has been put into the drinks menu, which features an array of creative cocktails like the Thundercat Martini (Belvedere vodka, Junmai Sake, Fee Brothers Plum Bitters, orange blossom water and pickled ginger) as well as a lengthy list of sake imported straight from Japan.
