During my regular flights to Melbourne, I'm already thinking of this place at 39,000 feet. I land, and there is an almost desperate pilgrimage to my regular fix of Japanese excellence. When I eat the food here, I could die happy as if it were my last supper. Just brilliant. Atmosphere, food, service. One of the gems of Melbourne.

Food comes in many small dishes, allowing you to try many of the different dishes! All the dishes were delicious! Especially loved the Crab Burger and Cold Soba. Definitely recommend getting them.
Lovely and welcoming staff. Food was delicious. Really liked lobster salad burger and lotus chips. Next time will try their range of sakés!
The food came out promptly, we liked the peach tea which was not too sweet. Our favourite dish was the seafood spring rolls (pictured). We also loved the signature Gyoza. We recommend dining here
Awesome tapas style Japanese restaurant. An excellent selection of food, with extremely fast service. Will totally be coming back here!! The Mini burger and the Gyoza were a big standout, well worth trying!!
If I was sum up my experience of Gyoza Douraku, it would be comparing it to Daiso (I love Daiso by the way). Everything (most things) are the same price (6.80 per plate), therefore some things are great value, sound value and lesser value, so choose wisely! We were invited to try six plates, a drink and a dessert to share. We chose correctly! We enjoyed the gyoza in both forms, both pan fried and in a soup. The baked scallops were my personal favourite. The yukke (julienne raw beef with raw quail egg) is a take on steak tartare and was delicious (but not for everyone's taste). We also enjoyed the foiled baked japanese mushrooms in ponzu butter. The green tea and strawberry layered parfait was fun and a nice way to end the meal. Cocktails were extremely fun and delightful. It's a great japanese bar, cosy interior, well decorated and decked out, and had a great vibe. It seems to attract passers by which means it's doing the right things to bring people through the door. Service was friendly and responsive. Eager to please, and quick on the ball. I also liked that they put the expected wait times on dishes, so you know what you're getting yourself into. Overall, a fun take on Japanese tapas style dishes, at a decent price, in a fun hip spot. Tip: the spicy miso broth with the gyoza packed some heat, but it was delicious regardless.
Loved my lunch here. A chill place to dine and enjoy quality Japanese dishes and a great choice of drinks.
