Overview

So, if you find yourself wandering around Melbourne Central, let me tell you about this spot that’s caught my attention — Makoto Shokudo. Tucked away on Level 2, shop 239, it’s not your typical sushi joint. They’ve moved away from the old sushi train model (thank goodness) to a lively Japanese canteen vibe, and it really hits the mark.

The menu? Oh wow, it’s got this beautifully crafted Japanese set menu that’ll have your taste buds dancing. You can’t go wrong with their signature Japanese pasta or the donburi. And, honestly, those side dishes just tie everything together like they belong on the same tray.

Now, I’ve read mixed reviews about the sushi train offerings, with some folks saying they felt a tad basic. But don’t let that stop you! You can order straight from the menu, and trust me, it’s way better that way. Plus, who could resist those dreamy desserts to cap off the meal, am I right?

There’s a welcoming atmosphere here. The staff are super friendly, and even when I popped in at different times during the day, they stuck to their schedule like it was clockwork. Lunchtime or dinner? You’ll find them serving from 11:30 am till 7:30 pm. But no reservations, so get ready to grab a seat quickly!

With over 759 reviews and a score of 3.9 out of 5, it seems like they’re doing something right. Sure, it might be a bit pricier than some other sushi places, but the quality is generally praised, and honestly, the fresh ingredients really shine through.

So, if you’re in the mood for Japanese fare with a modern twist, Makoto Shokudo is worth checking out. I think you’ll leave satisfied and maybe even planning your next visit before you even finish your meal!
