Ichi Maki - Kurunjang

Date visited: 04/10/2018<br/ <br/ THIS IS NOT A FULL MAIN MEAL REVIEW<br/ This Japanese restaurant is built in to adjoining the Melbourne West police station so you probably would not even know it's there. Rather small restaurant but can seat around 10 ppl. <br/ OMG the amount of food that they serve in this store is HUGE. Too much for me to list so you just have to check out the pictures on Zomato. I did not order a main meal due to a big day of eating but I wanted to try this place as I was in the hotel across the road it was my last night in Melbourne. <br/ <br/ I ordered 2 chicken Dim Sims some pan fried pork Gyoza's. The dim sims were beautiful probably right on pair with South Melb. dim sims. Really big. Plus I normally only like vegetable Gyoza's but these pork one's were great. Wish I had have gone there the first couple of days I was in Melbourne :  <br/ Staff were very friendly. Only bad thing is that they close at 8pm nightly so no late night munchies. Cant wait to try again. If you like Japanese dishes not into the whole full-on Japanese restaurant scene than trust me try this place. <br/ BTW I am not a sushi person but the different/amount of sushi they had available was amazing. So if your a sushi person this place is for you. If your staying in the Latrobe st/Spencer st/King st area forget all the other places go here.<br/ Hope this review helps some one : <br/ <br/ Ratings:<br/ FOOD: 7.5/10<br/ STAFF: 7.5/10<br/ ATMOSPHERE: 6.5/10<br/ LOCATION: 8.0/10 if your staying in this area 4.0/10 if staying further in the city <br/ PRICE: <br/ <br/ OVERALL: 7.0/10

I had a generous bento box which  came with teppan fried rice, teriyaki salmon, tofu tempura in curry sauce, salad, and pickles, and it was really nice. Service was quick and friendly. A good place to have some quick lunch

I had the the salmon teriyaki bento, which came with rice, teriyaki salmon, salmon sushi and sashimi, and some pickles. The combination was good and tasty, and service was real quick

In our short 4 days visiting Melbourne, my family visit this place twice. The gyoza was delicious, the vegetables meat fresh, all nicely cooked. The price is affordable and the staff very nice :

Even though it is a japanese restaurant, I come here for lunch and get the chicken and prawn rice paper rolls with peanut sauce. Food is fresh and affordable. Highly recommend if you want to try something different other than sushi or bento box. Have tried the sushi and its good as well.
