Fairfield has 4 japanese restaurants. Here is every verified option.

#1 Okami — 147 Station Street, Fairfield

#1 Matsuya — 146 Station Street, Fairfield

Japanese

What makes it great: What Matsuya does well, it does better than anywhere else in Fairfield. Sit at the counter if there is one. Watch the hands work. Half of the experience is understanding the craft. The kind of place you recommend without being asked.

Hours: Mo 11:30-15:00, 17:00-22:00; Tu-We 11:30-15:00, 17:00-22:30; Th 11:30-22:30; Fr-Sa 11:30-23:00; Su 17:00-22:00 | Phone: +61 3 9482 6088

#1 Oyishi Japanes and Chinese Cuisine

Chinese

What makes it great: Oyishi Japanes and Chinese Cuisine treats Chinese like it matters. Because it does. The menu is long. Ignore the front page — the back page is where the kitchen really talks. This is not destination dining. This is your neighbourhood doing what it should.

Hours: Mo-Fr 10:30-20:30; Sa 11:00-20:00

#1 Kappaya Japanese Soul Food Cafe

Japanese

What makes it great: Every suburb has one restaurant that defines it. In Fairfield, the argument starts with Kappaya Japanese Soul Food Cafe. The rice is the tell. Most places get the fish right but serve it on forgettable rice. Here, the rice matters. Not the flashiest option in Fairfield. Possibly the best.
