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.
This is a short page, and that is the honest answer. We could verify only two Japanese places in and around Viewbank, and both are takeaway: one in Heidelberg and one in Bulleen.
Each was checked against OpenStreetMap and a second source, the venue’s own website or the Australian Good Food Guide. Sushi Galore has a published menu, so we decode a few dishes. For Bento & Cafe we found little beyond its listing, so we say only that.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sushi, katsu don and bento pickup | Sushi Galore | 6. Gyoza (5 Pcs) | $13.20 |
| Bento place, listing only | Bento & Cafe | see below | not printed here |
Sushi Galore — 178 Burgundy Street, Heidelberg VIC 3084
Sushi Galore’s site says it specialises in Japanese cuisine, listing sushi, chicken soup, teriyaki chicken and katsu don, and it offers pickup. Gyoza are pan-fried dumplings, and the menu lists 6. Gyoza (5 Pcs) at $13.20. A bento is a boxed meal, and the menu lists the 65. Chicken Bento, with teriyaki chicken, tempura prawn and vegetable, dumpling, sushi, miso soup, salad and rice, at $27.75. The site lists Monday to Saturday 10am to 3:30pm and 4:30pm to 8:30pm, with Sunday closed.
On the menu (copied from sushigalore.com.au on 4 October 2026):
- Gyoza (5 Pcs): $13.20
- Teriyaki Chicken/Beef Don: $21.05
- Chicken Bento: $27.75
- Kaiso Salad: $8.65
Order this first: 29. Teriyaki Chicken/Beef Don at $21.05, which the menu describes as chicken or beef cooked with vegetables in teriyaki, served on rice; a don is a rice bowl.
Bento & Cafe — 79-109 Manningham Road, Bulleen VIC 3105
OpenStreetMap lists Bento & Cafe, and AGFG lists it at 79-109 Manningham Rd in Bulleen. We list it as a Japanese bento takeaway place, but we could not find a website, menu, prices or hours to confirm more. Bento is a boxed meal, so expect that format, and check with the venue before making a trip.
Menu says: We could not find a published menu, so there is nothing to decode yet.
