Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026.
This page answers a simple question: where can you eat Japanese food in Chadstone, and what kind of Japanese is it? Five places made the list, and all five are listed at the same Dandenong Road address, which their own sites and listings tie to Chadstone Shopping Centre.
Each entry explains the format in one line, then says what the place’s own site or the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG) actually states. Where a source gave no hours or no prices, we say so rather than guess.
Every place was matched against two independent sources before it went in, so the list is short on purpose.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Rice bowls and noodle bowls to go | Rice Workshop | 1341 Dandenong Road, Chadstone |
| Sushi | Sushi Jiro | 1341 Dandenong Rd, Chadstone |

| Takeaway Japanese, AGFG-listed | OMI | 1341 Dandenong Road, Chadstone |
Rice Workshop — 1341 Dandenong Road, Chadstone VIC 3148
Rice Workshop’s site calls it a Japanese rice bar, and says what started as a DIY bar became a take away fast food place for rice bowls and noodle bowls. A rice bowl is a base of rice with toppings over it; a noodle bowl swaps the rice for noodles. We could not find hours or prices we could read, and the site is undated, so check before you go.
How to order: Choose between the two formats its site names, a rice bowl or a noodle bowl, and ask at the counter what goes on top.
Sushi Jiro — 1341 Dandenong Rd, Chadstone VIC 3148
Sushi Jiro’s site lists a Chadstone store at the Dandenong Road address above. Sushi is vinegared rice paired with fish or other toppings: nigiri is a slice laid over a small block of rice, while a roll wraps the filling in seaweed. We could not find hours or prices we could read, so this entry stays short.
Decoder: Nigiri is topping over rice and a roll is wrapped, but in both the rice is seasoned with vinegar.
Maguro Sushi and Oyster Bar — 1341 Dandenong Rd, Chadstone VIC 3148
Maguro’s own site says it specialises in take-away sushi and sashimi with a contemporary twist. AGFG lists the shop as Shop 247B in Chadstone Shopping Centre. Sashimi is sliced raw fish served without rice, and maguro is the Japanese word for tuna. We could not find hours or prices we could read.
Menu says: Take-away sushi and sashimi, according to its own site, so ask which of the two suits how you plan to eat.
Marae Izakaya — 1341 Dandenong Road, Chadstone VIC 3148
An izakaya is a Japanese pub-style place built around drinks and small shared plates. Marae Izakaya’s site lists Monday to Wednesday 11:30am to 8:00pm, Thursday and Friday 11:30am to 9:00pm, Saturday 11:00am to 9:00pm and Sunday 11:00am to 8:30pm. We could not find a menu with prices we could read, and the site is undated.
How to order: Izakaya dishes usually arrive as a few small plates, so start with two or three and add more as you go.
OMI — 1341 Dandenong Road, Chadstone VIC 3148
AGFG lists OMI as a takeaway option and places it in Chadstone Shopping Centre, Lower Ground Floor, Shop FB183. Its own site address uses the word wagyu, which is a Japanese beef breed, but we could not read a menu with prices. The listing is undated, so confirm the details with the venue.
Decoder: AGFG lists takeaway for OMI, a listing feature, not a regional style, so we claim no regional cooking here.

How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 9 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, the places’ own websites and the Australian Good Food Guide. We copied no menu prices from these places’ own pages, so this page prints none. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go.
