Yuzu Cafe & Cuisine - CBD

Yuzu Bar and Café  480 Collins St (enter via Church Lane)

Come to Yuzu on a scoopon deal and was pleasantly surprised, the cafe is quite spacious and looks upper class, the food was quite good for the price. We ordered 4 ramen, okonomiyaki, takoyaki, grilled moreton bay bugs and fried soft shell crab. Altogether this would normally cost $104, only $54 with my scoopon :)

Okonomiyaki – This came out a bit smaller then what I had expected, still not too bad. I’ve yet to find a good authentic okonomiyaki with bonito flakes and pork belly.



Grilled Moreton Bay Bugs – Two bugs fried and the meat grilled with some side salad. We ended with about 4 bite size meat pieces per bug. The taste of the meat and sauce made up for the small serving size.



Takoyaki – 10 pieces of octopus balls, this for me was the second best dish




Fried Soft Shell Crab – One soft shell crab, not as crunchy as I would of liked, a little to soggy once you bite into it.


Wafu beef with miso soup ramen – One of the best ramen I have had. The beef was soft, soup very tasty and the egg was cooked perfectly. The serving was very filling, pretty good for $14. Would definitely come back for the ramen.

Great tasting food, nice atmosphere, reasonable prices
