Authentic Japanese restaurant operated by Japanese owners. The small shop lacks attentive service, and parking can be challenging to find. The food is satisfactory, reasonably priced, but be prepared for longer-than-expected waiting times.

Great little Japanese cafe with a very homely vibe. The ribs were awesome and tender. Melt right off the bone and in your mouth. …

Second time at Cafe Carpenter. Always a splendid experience here with delicious food and a very cosy ambience. This time, we got the carbonara, Bossam (pork belly wrap), wasabi salt edamame and our usual pints of Orion Black. Come early as the place fills up very quickly.

I like the environment here so much. It has a very warm atmosphere. There is also very delicious food here, the tofu and curry are especially delicious.

Little Japanese and Korean restaurant. Staff are friendly and quality of food is great. You might need to wait for your food serve a bit when it’s busy because their kitchen is pretty small. This place will be our regular place to eat out.

The food quality was pretty good compared to a lot of the Japanese restaurants in Melbourne. Would give it a 4 star for the quality of food. There was no octopus in takoyaki, which was a bit surprise to me, as a lot of the comments …

Great fun little place. Always a great feed of Korean and Japanese food and great choice of beers with a little supermarket out the back. Super friendly staff too, we love it!
