Correction (3 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 between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This is a very short page, and it is better to say so first. Between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026 we could not verify a Japanese restaurant in Oakleigh, so none is listed. One place had something we could stand behind: Cote Terra, a cafe on Station Street, prints a dish with a Japanese name on its night menu, the Ebi Katsu Burger.
The page is built around that dish, with the menu’s own words and price. Searches that used to land on the old sushi and Japanese page now land here, and the honest answer to them is this one place.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| A dish with a Japanese name on a cafe’s night menu | Cote Terra | Ebi Katsu Burger(I) | $28.00 |
Cote Terra — 17 Station Street, Oakleigh VIC 3166
Cote Terra’s own site lists a night menu: “CT Night Every Thu • Fri • Sat 4:00pm-9:00pm”. The menu image on its site prints “Ebi Katsu Burger(I)” and says it is “Served with chips.” It sits beside a Wagyu Burger(I), a Wagyu Bolognese rigatoni and a Creamy Mushroom fettuccine. Oakleigh Traders describes the venue as “Artisan coffee, gourmet sandwiches & brunch” served in a “café”, so this is a cafe with an evening menu, not a Japanese restaurant. We could not read a daytime menu as text.
On the menu (copied from coteterra.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Ebi Katsu Burger(I): $28.00
- Wagyu Burger(I): $26.00
- Wagyu Bolognese: $25.00
- Creamy Mushroom: $22.00
Decoder: ebi is prawn and katsu is a crumbed, fried cutlet, and the menu’s own line bears that out: “Prawn cutlet patty crumbed with crispy panko, topped with wasabi mayo, chilli lime cabbage slaw and house-made lychee jam. Served with chips.”
Quick answers
Is there a Japanese restaurant in Oakleigh?
We could not verify one at two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026, so this page lists none. Check a venue’s own site before you plan around it.
What is an ebi katsu burger?
Ebi means prawn and katsu means a crumbed, fried cutlet, so it is a crumbed prawn burger. Cote Terra’s night menu prints Ebi Katsu Burger(I) at $28.00 and says it is “Served with chips.”
When is the Ebi Katsu Burger served?
Cote Terra’s own site lists “CT Night Every Thu • Fri • Sat 4:00pm-9:00pm”. The price comes from the CT Night menu image on that site, so confirm with the cafe that it still applies.
Is Cote Terra a Japanese restaurant?
Oakleigh Traders describes it as “Artisan coffee, gourmet sandwiches & brunch” served in a “café”. The Japanese-named dish is on the CT Night menu, alongside a Wagyu Burger(I), a Wagyu Bolognese and a Creamy Mushroom.
