Zizzler’s - Imagine having a plethora of taste-bud tingling Japanese food at your beck and call.

Nestled amongst the hustle and bustle of Hardware Lane lies one of Melbourne’s best kept secrets. Eat Drink Bento is a mecca for the food savvy CBD crowd who demand quality food in a stylish contemporary surrounding and has been keeping these standards for the last 10 years.

Similar to the Spanish Tapas dining experience, Eat Drink Bento has brought Japanese Izakaya (ee-zah-kah-ya) style dining to Melbourne. Deeply rooted in the Japanese culture, Izakaya’s are one of the most traditional and popular eating establishments in Japan. Evolved from the rustic, lively eateries of old, Eat Drink Bento provides this traditional, social and absolutely delicious tradition to you with today's Zizzle!

In the evenings, the venue is candlelit and the ambiance is sophisticated, yet relaxed with jazz piping through the speakers creating that perfect vibe for a romantic meal or a professional meeting.

Start your meal with a couple of glasses of Wine, Beer or Sake, a pair of Miso Soups or Steamed rice and a plate of traditional Edamame to share while you mull over the Izakaya menu and choose six dishes that take your fancy.

    Thanks! +1

    Anyone eaten here before and can recommend?

    On a side note, slightly deceptive counting the steamed rice as 1 course…

    Went there a few years ago and enjoyed it. I recall having sushi, Saporro, and some tempura dishes. Those were normal size dishes. I don't know what the sizes of tapas style japanese food that they serve are so it's a bit difficult to assess value. There are no quantities listed in the description (e.g. how many pieces of sashimi or tempura, what kind of sashimi). If you ate a normal meal there with drinks it would cost you over $39 but would you be full with sharing 6 dishes with another person, don't know.

      Are there any 'all you can eat' Japanese restaurants ?

          awesome… not too far from me…

          i'll see if i can bankrupt them one evening soon… :)

      • jamessyc on 23/02/2011 - 16:13

        Haven't been to these in a while but they did/do have all you can eat:
        - Yamagata Teppanyaki
        - J's Surf n Turf (yes…this is the name of a japanese restaurant)

      • bluedufflecoat on 23/02/2011 - 16:15

        J's Surf n Turf in Brighton is really good too… except the bright fluoro lights kill the atmosphere! :D

        • thespot on 23/02/2011 - 16:17

          I heard that place had a fire… So its closed atm…

        • mrderrickc on 23/02/2011 - 16:43

          It failed a bunch of food inspections and was ordered to close until all fines were paid. That was my favorite place too =[

      • neil on 23/02/2011 - 16:17

        I'm always on the lookout for all you can eat restaurants and the only (Japanese) one I've been to in Melbourne is Torimatsu on King Street, Melb. $33.80 for a male, $30.80 for a female but it's just BBQ.

        When I was in the US and Canada there were a few all you can eat sushi restaurants. Those were great and fresh sushi as well.

        Yamagata looks good. May have to try it, how's the quality of the all you can eat?

        • jv on 23/02/2011 - 16:30

          $33.80 for a male, $30.80 for a female

          LOL… that's discrimination !!!

        • fattyboombatty on 23/02/2011 - 16:38

          Torimatsu is awesome - I have not had the all you can eat though. Their bento boxes are of exceptional quality

      Hey Neil,

      Myself and one of the other guys here at Zizzle had a chance to try some of these dishes the other day and the Izakaya dishes are the size of large entrees. Very generous.

      For example the Tempura had 7-10 pieces, the Sashimi was in 8-10 bits and the Wafu steak was about 1 1/2 CM thick and great size for an entree steak.

      It will definitely be enough to feed a couple of people!

      Cheers!
