#1 Chiba Japanese Restaurant — 41 Hall Street

Japanese

What makes it great: There is a reason Chiba Japanese Restaurant has outlasted every trend on Hall Street. The rice is the tell. Most places get the fish right but serve it on forgettable rice. Here, the rice matters. The test of a restaurant is whether you think about it the next day. Chiba Japanese Restaurant passes.

#1 I Dream of Sushi — 6 Margaret Street, Moonee Ponds

Japanese

What makes it great: Ask anyone on Margaret Street where to eat and I Dream of Sushi comes up before you finish the question. Precision is not a word you throw around in a restaurant review. But there is no other word for what this kitchen does. There is a reason the regulars do not talk about it much. They do not want the wait.

Hours: Mo - Sa 11:00 - 20:00 | Phone: +61 403 056 486

#1 Yokoso Izakaya

Japanese

What makes it great: There are flashier places on this stretch. There is nothing more reliable than Yokoso Izakaya. Precision is not a word you throw around in a restaurant review. But there is no other word for what this kitchen does. A restaurant that respects the ingredients, respects your time, and respects your wallet.
