Correction (4 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 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Only two Japanese places passed our checks, so this is a short page. One is in Nunawading and one is in Mitcham, which is why the page reads as in and around Nunawading. It also answers searches for sushi nearby.
Both places were checked against two independent sources. Where a place prints prices we copied them, and where it does not, we say so. Each entry decodes what we can from the listing and no more.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sushi, with hours listed | Oedo Sushi Cafe | see below | not printed here |
| Sit-down dinner and BYO wine | Sapporo Japanese Restaurant | GYOZA | $14 |
Oedo Sushi Cafe — 1 Market Street, Nunawading VIC 3131
OpenStreetMap tags this place as cuisine=sushi, and the Australian Good Food Guide lists it at 1 Market St. AGFG lists Monday to Saturday as 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM, with Sunday closed, and OpenStreetMap agrees on those days. We could not find a website or a menu, so there are no prices here. Call ahead if you want to know what is on offer.
Decoder: Sushi is vinegared rice served with fish, egg or vegetables, and since we found no menu, we cannot say which styles this place makes.
Sapporo Japanese Restaurant — Unit 1/432-438 Mitcham Road, Mitcham VIC 3132
Its site lists dinner Tuesday to Sunday from 17:45 to 21:30, with Monday closed. AGFG and OpenStreetMap differ on hours, so check before you go. The site says it offers BYO wine and sits right by Mitcham train station, and AGFG tags it Child Friendly. Its site has Dine-In, Vegetarian and Takeaway menu sections. The take-away menu PDF, an older file, lists GYOZA at $14 and HARUMAKI at $10, plus TERIYAKI CHICKEN at $26.
On the menu (copied from sapporojapanese.com.au on 4 October 2026):
- GYOZA: $14
- TERIYAKI CHICKEN: $26
- TAKOYAKI: $14
- HARUMAKI: $10
Order this first: GYOZA at $14 on its take-away menu, which are Japanese dumplings.
