Top 5 Seafood Markets in Victoria

247 Springvale Rd, Glen Waverley VIC 3150, Australia

“I recently had the absolute pleasure of dining at Shira Nui for a special birthday lunch with my daughter, and I can confidently say this local gem in Glen Waverley deserves its stellar reputation. Located at 247 Springvale Rd, Glen Waverley, it may not boast flashy decor or modern fittings, but what it lacks in aesthetic flair, it more than makes up for in the quality and authenticity of its Japanese cuisine. Walking into Shira Nui, you're greeted by a simple, slightly dated, Japanese ambience. Don't let this understatement deter you; the restaurant focuses squarely where it should be—on the food. The service was top-notch, and attentive without intrusive, making us feel welcomed and valued. It's also spotless, with tables being cleaned promptly as guests depart. The restaurant is renowned for its oyster sushi, among other delectable offerings. Given its bustling atmosphere, especially during lunch, there's a sort of reassurance that the seafood you're consuming is as fresh as it gets, and I can attest to that. The omakase is not just a meal; it's an authentic experience, especially if you're fortunate enough to secure counter seating. Hiro, Melbourne's first qualified sushi chef, crafts each piece with a skill honed over two decades. His wife, Susi, complements his talents seamlessly, both of them being Glen Waverley staples for over 20 years. While the drink and menu options might be somewhat limited, the quality of what's offered more than compensates. You're even welcome BYO wine, a nice touch that contributes to the overall value. Speaking of which, for the sheer quality and experience, Shira Nui offers the most budget-friendly omakase in Melbourne. If you're contemplating a visit, my advice is this: book in advance and request a seat at the counter to witness the culinary ballet that is Hiro's sushi preparation. It may not be the 'modern fantasy Japanese' establishment that's all the rage these days, but sometimes tradition trumps trends, and quality speaks louder than aesthetics. A heartfelt thank you to Shira Nui for a memorable dining experience; it's evident that the passion for the craft is still very much alive after two decades.”

192 Moreland Rd, Brunswick VIC 3056, Australia

“ALL YOU CAN EAT $38 Great value for money, staff are friendly yet I dare say they need more as the restaurant is super busy (and loud). Food comes out quickly enough, drinks are also tasty. Great to come with a group”

445 High St, Prahran VIC 3181, Australia

“This is now my new favourite Greek restaurant in Melbourne. Attended on a Tuesday night, at 7pm and the place was almost full. That explains a lot. Absolutely fantastic service. I actually gave a $20 tip, and l rarely tip. Young girl was happy, smiling, and helpful. The older guy was funny and had great stories. Their involvement really made the night enjoyable. We had the two person banquet, and it was superb. All the courses were delicious and plenty of food, which is what you expect from Greek food. I can't wait for my next visit, and thank you.”

93 Marine Parade, San Remo VIC 3925, Australia

“Simple the best Italian food I have ever had! The portion were generous, just right and it’s quality Italian cuisine at its finest. My meal was the Juiciest Angus steak topped with fresh Morton Bay buys and veggies. I savoured every mouthful. I finished this off with a fresh home made pancotta.”

437 Church St, Richmond VIC 3121, Australia

“The seafood, the service, the wine, the fooood! Freshest and tastiest seafood I have ever had! It was a real treat, enjoyed every mouthwatering bite. The experience would not have been the same without our great waiter Alex, very welcoming and great humour :) Look forward to coming back!”

169 Bourke St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

“Went to Nana Thai for dinner and we ordered their crispy pork basil stir fry and blue crab glass noodle. Both meals were absolutely delicious; pork was fragrant and flavourful (though spicy!), glass noodle was cooked perfectly. Service was very quick.”

175 Domain Rd, South Yarra VIC 3141, Australia

“Excellent welcoming and modern atmosphere. Staff were friendly and professional. We ordered Chardonnay and which was heavenly and for food we got Garfish and Snapper both extremely delicious. We had beans on the side too. I highly recommend this place for a date, business lunch or a midweek lunch!”

3690/46 Wilson St, Wodonga VIC 3690, Australia

“Most definitely a hit Or miss sort of place, but I suppose you get that then half of the staff are chewing off their faces!! Horrible customer service, horrible food and the prices are outrageous! Probably give this one a miss guys.”
