Ishiya Japanese Stonegrill

Wow.. wow.. wow.. first time dining here with family and I am so impress with the overall experiences. A wide range of menu selection to choose from. We couldn’t decide so we ordered majority of the entrees and two Australian Wagyu Platters. The food presentation was beautifully display and the food was so delicious. Price is affordable if you compare to the other fine dining restaurants. Services were great and overall my family had a fantastic time dinning here. We will definitely be back again. Minor feedback is the table space is a bit small for all the food we had order but they were able to resolve the space issue. Keep up the great effort team! 🙌

Great great great food, lots of flavours.
We ordered the dining for 2 option and everything was very delicious.

Unfortunately we needed to wait ~15min to be seated (even though we booked in advanced), but it didn’t ruin our experience as the service and food were really good!

All staff were very friendly and the service was great. I was surprised at how small the restaurant is however we did not feel too squashed at all.Food was delicious and I loved that they brought us a new hot rock towards the end to ensure all the beef was cooked to perfection. We will be back! Thank you!

Incredible food and even better staff! Delicious wagyu, sashimi and baked scallops are a must try! Also some of the best service I’ve ever received - Sally especially was very kind & attentive and made our night so special!

Such beautiful food and friendly staff. My wife and I got Banquet 2 for 2. Worth every penny!

We went for a Friday Night Dinner Date and found this little Gem while strolling through Chinatown. Amazing food, friendly and attentitave staff and cute little spot for dinner. Highly recommend.

Seriously one of the BEST dining experiences I’ve had in a while.

Tonight I caught up with a good friend who just moved into the area and as we were looking for a place to eat we stumbled across Ishiya.

We figured it looked inviting so we went in and grabbed a table.

The couple next to us (celebrating their 19 year anniversary) immediately turned to us and said ‘The food here is amazing. We’re total foodies and we’ve been here twice before’

They were so right. Great quality food, great atmosphere, great table theatrics and great service.

I already want to come back! Thank you! ❤

I recently tried the food here and it was incredibly tasty, especially the high-quality meat! I ordered the package for five people, which was a good choice that includes entree, mains, and dessert!

The staff explained some of the foods they served however they did not to explain the cuts of meat, which would have been helpful. The space was okay but a bit small for larger groups.

I still highly recommend this place for its delicious food. I'm looking forward to returning and trying more of their amazing dishes.

Must try the grill set two, was very fresh and tasty. The salmon was brought to us in dry ice (spectacular). Love that you can cook meat on stone to your liking. Service was great and atmosphere was lovely. Best Japanese food I’ve tasted in Melbourne. Highly recommend.

We decided to try Ishiya as we crave Steak a day before and not only did we got a great tasting steak but so many other orders - salmon, chicken, prawn, lobster tail and of course the awesome dessert!

Overall, it was a great night out, perfect dinner. The place was really nice, private and just right for a romantic dinner. The service was phenominal, they've recommended such great tasting food and the dessert...the dessert is a must try.

Food is absolutely delicious and brilliant services, very attentive :) we had a wonderful birthday dinner.

It was a whole dining experience. The attention to detail by the staff was really on point. The ambiance was great for celebrations and catching up with friends. I'm glad we went in a big group of 8 which meant we had a full experience of their custom grill set. It was very much worth it. A little towards the expensive side but the excellent service made up for it, the taste, presentation, and quality from entree to main to dessert was absolute perfection. Would definitely come back to experience it again. The Ebi Seafood Tart was an absolute crowd favorite.

Took the family here for dinner and had a truly amazing experience!

The staff we were welcoming and kept the drinks flowing. The food was exceptional and the ability to cook our own main course on the Stongegrill very unique.

We also loved our entrees and dessert!

Thank you and will definitely be back!

On 26 April we went to Ishiya Japanese Stonegrill for our date night and we got:

🍹 Peach Fantasia
Very refreshing and fun drink!

🥧 Wagyu Steak Frite Tart
Freshly cooked, crunchy outer potato layer with onion balanced with soft wagyu beef. This one-bite dish is something you must not miss out on ‼

🥩 Custom Grill Set 2
Perfect for 2-3 people with high quality selection of 5 wagyu beef cuts 😍 This also includes a couple of entree - salmon sashimi, baked scallops and wagyu tataki (seared in front of us!!), fried rice and desserts. We also could pick 2 extra items from their Standard and Premium dishes, and we chose Beef Ribs slices and Wagyu Scotch slices.

The best experience was cooking our own meat on the massive hot stone!! ♨

Overall, it’s probably one of the best dining experiences we had 🥰 The food was incredible, honestly no fault! The service was friendly and efficient - we appreciate the personal touches such as searing the wagyu on the stone in front of us 🙌🏻

The ambience is intimate and cozy, but enough space between the tables to still have a quality time with your company. The menu is quite extensive so it could get overwhelming, but the staff were ready to help!

We 100% highly recommend this place and you’re guaranteed to have a great time ✨

We ordered the custom grill set 2 for 3 people and added a serving of calamari. Omg, it's a must-do/must-eat if you are visiting Melbourne. 10/10, the foods and services are fantastic! We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children 7-10 years old.

Such a stunning place to enjoy your food! Service is great. The food yummm 😋

Took mum yer for her birthday, we both loved it. The scallops were excellent, unique and sweet. The 400 degree stone was plenty to cook the different cuts of meat and other side serves of food. We both agreed it requires another visit. Can't go wrong with a bottle of sake and tender slices of wagyu. Nice atmosphere inside, maybe a fraction dark but otherwise no complaints from me!

We came here for our friends hens dinner, and it was the best decision ever! The food was absolutely amazing and the service was top notch. SALLY also made our night with her exceptional charisma!

Food was delicious! Ordered the custom grill set for 2, plenty of food! Service was great. Would highly recommend to try at least once!

After being ignored by other restaurants,we walked in it and were happy to be respected.
Foods are very dedicated and delicious. Definately we will come again.Highly recommend!
