komeyui

the tables are too closed, and the food was just average. the services was too bad, no one serve us with water, we need ask the staff to bring the water. we waited 20 mins for desserts and $16.5 is not worth it. in the end, they pass me the inccorect bill. my friends even got runs after she get back home

i enjoyed my time here, there is absolutely no doubt on the quality of fish. it was fresh and not fishy at all, impressed with the foie gras of how smooth and doesn’t leave any bad aftertaste. sushi cake was easy to finish because the rice was mixed with furikake. it was a birthday occasion and they made specials for us and memorable day for the person. friendly waitresses & one of the best fine dining experience.

love this place, their food has consistency of quality that i can feel that they put much effort and delicacy to it. whenever i visit here, i always seat at the bar because of the korean chef we prefer. the chef greets with smile, communicates only when needed and provides yum meal. feels treated well for the price. service is not as too prefessional/perfect as the food but still very good. it’s been a while to visit this place but would love to visit again if the chef is still there and fits my schedule.

we ordered two bentos via ubereats last night, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience!

both ox tongue bento and black cod bento cost $28.60 each, not cheap as a take away, yet they were of really high quality.
the black cod was sweet and fresh, and the ox tongue’s nicely flavoured (i like the way that there was not too much seasoning covering the original taste of the beef).

the sides were great as well - crispy deep fried wings and pan fried dumplings stuffed with juicy fillings.

will definitely try dining in soon!

this place is amazing! we love being able to sit at the bar and watch the chefs do their magic. sashimis are ever so fresh and the main chef is always happy to explain whenever we ask something about the food. their nori crunch is a must order every time we’re here and the beef tataki too! the only down side to this place is their desserts. not the best but we keep coming back because everything else is superb.

quite a nice interior, with tradition meets modern vibes. staff were friendly and accommodating. we ordered quite a variety of dishes and all were nicely presented. the only thing that lacked in most of their food was the flavour. there wasn't much of a difference in taste throughout the dishes as they all had similar flavours and unfortunately wasn't as flavorful as i hoped. i did enjoy the beef tataki, you can't go wrong there.

nonetheless, it was nice to try out but i was expecting a little more. a plus, we received a free dish, the zosui- blue swimmer crab because they made too many. i thought that was kind of them to give to us.

you will find komeyui japanese restaurant located in port melbourne.  here you can expect an authentic traditional japanese dining experience with a modern twist that will definitely delight your taste buds. you will find that everything on the menu is deliciously divine, healthy an prepared to perfection.

we ordered spicy tuna for the sushi. it’s so tasty and the tuna feel so fresh. the gindara and pork kakuni is the highlight of our dish. the gindara is classic but melt in your mouth, so good. the kakuni also very tender and full of flavour.

been here twice and always had an amazing dining experience here! do get a booking before coming cause it’s packed every night. the staff are very friendly and helpful and the ambience is great too but it gets a little loud during their peak hours but the food do hugely compensate for it! the zosui (crab porridge) is so flavourful with its umami flavour and the seafood in there is extremely fresh, definitely a must-get! the scampi tartare which is a special is great as well, get it if it’s available, you won’t regret it.

easy to miss, you’ve probably passed it a few times on the way to the beach. but inside lies a warm japanese ambience with minimal seating, a sushi counter and sweet japanese waitresses in traditional kimono and shoes. komeyui offers an omakase and alacarte menu. i chose the ala carte. we ordered the beef tataki, oysters, chu toro sashimi, kingfish, miso cod, ox tongue and creme brûlée. great beef tataki, tender and tasty. oysters were fresh. the chu toro was absolutely delicious. so fatty and melted in your mouth instantly. the king fish had a herb i could not adjust to but with a quick flick of the red spice, the sauce and fish was delicious. miso cod was perfectly cooked and presented a smoky taste. the ox tongue had great texture, not chewy at all. the deconstructed creme brûlée was interesting with all the key notes of a standard creme brûlée and a burnt toffee taste with a hint of fruit we couldn’t quite pinpoint. overall an amazing dinner with top notch service you’d expect from japanese dining.

quintessentially japanese, this restaurant is unassuming from the outside, minimalistic in decor, and punches big time in the quality department. the overall ambience just oozes quality and zen. they use the best ingredients, deliver the freshest food and serve very well-balanced flavours. i wouldn’t think twice to come back to celebrate an intimate special occasion.

small intimate japanese place tucked in quite port melbourne area. food is pretty yummy and well presented. great sake selections too. worth a visit!

got recommended by foodie friend,
visited komeyui on my day off, we ordered;
- beef tataki (nice & recommended)
- ottoro , chuttoro ( ottoro is better, chuttoro is too lean)
- miso cod
- scampi (could have better scampi)
and so many more dishes that i dont remember.
price isnt a problem but, this the price for the dish doesnt justify the food that we had at that night.
might give it another go next time.

by far, the best authentic japanese restaurant i have come across in melbourne. i ordered the wagyu beef tataki with soy sauce & cured egg yolk which is just divine in every way. can’t get enough of the perfection, i also had the bento upper box and was so satisfied with it. not to mention, i got free champagne and guiltily finished it 😜 (mind you, i went for bar hopping the night before and did f45 class before coming here #oops). but the point is, komeyui is superb, food and service wise 👌

ordered: wagyu takaki, salmon teriyaki, mixed sashimi on top of seasoned sushi rice, and green tea crepes.

wagyu takaki: delicious and tender, has a hint of coated sweetness to the slices, and tasted best with the added flavour and texture of the fried potato bits (although it tasted like shallots).

salmon teriyaki: well cooked and seasoned- very flavoursome. mistakenly thought it would come with rice but it's just two cut pieces of salmon.

green tea crepes: enjoyable but the very small portion was disappointing.

overall: delicious dishes but quite pricey for what it is. on zomato it listed more varieties and selections than what we had on our menu.
