• Japanese • Geelong West

Booked 2 times today

Michael Bong didn’t come to Japanese cooking along the obvious route – he’s Korean, for one – but now that he has, he’s certainly making the most of it. Tomodachi Izakaya & Bar on Little Malop Street in the centre of Geelong is a tribute to the corner bars of Tokyo, with a focus on the charcoal grill and the skewered mates that come off it. That results in top-notch pork belly, beef and chicken thighs for the meat-eaters and salmon, prawns and scallops for the fish fans as well as beancurd and vegetables for the vegetarians. Aside from the grill, there is also an astounding array of sushi and sashimi dishes, octopus pancake balls, salt and pepper squid, alongside dessert options and a long cocktail menu that befits all the best, boozy backstreet izakaya joints in Japan. Take trip into Geelong town centre for a Japanese meal to remember at Tomodachi on Little Malop Street – just remember to book your table before you arrive, as they do get crowded.

The food is the best in Geelong when it comes to restaurants. The Chef is brilliant and the setting was perfect. The staff ate extremely friendly and it was a really enjoyable time. The lamb was cooked to perfection and the beef bolognaise was the best restaurant pasta I’ve eaten.

It was our first time and wanted to book this branch for the view. Didn’t disappoint! There weren’t a lot of people since it was raining. We had peaceful time with family. We get to enjoy the view and food. It was a great experience and would love to come and try it again.

food was amazing, servings are big table was too small for our group of four, which made relaxing during the meal difficult. Also they were very understaffed, hence we had to wait around 25-30 mins just to receive our drinks. staff were lovely though and were trying their best
