Restaurant Review: Maedaya

Location: 400 Bridge Rd, Richmond
Phone: (03) 9428 3918
Cuisine: Japanese
Overall Impression: 7.5/10

I have visited Maedaya on numerous occasions and have been impressed each time. This Izakaya-style restaurant authentically resembles the Japanese izakaya experiences J and I have had during our time in Japan.

An izakaya is a typical Japanese bar that serves food that accompanies Japanese drinks very well. Maedaya has a great range of sake available, impressive cocktails made from sake and the usual plum wine and various other Japanese liquors.

Savoury pancakes

delectable soba noodles

one of the sauces of the day to accompany the grilled meat...

This has remained one of our favourite Japanese restaurants for a while now. It is always nice to indulge ourselves with good sake and delicious food here whilst reminiscing our Japanese adventure back in 2010. Everything is delicious, fresh and of high quality. I highly recommend Maedaya for a nice casual dinner or after work drinks at the bar area.
