• Japanese • Geelong West

Booked 5 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.

Once our beer is brewed, it goes straight from the serving tank into your glass. It doesn’t get much fresher than that.

Seated at an outdoor table gave a wonderful atmosphere to a great Mothers Day Sunday Lunch. The food was fresh and tasty, beer was cold and the staff were happy to research and make a cocktail that was not listed on the drinks list. Meals sizes were reasonable and enough for our 3 diners to split 4 entrees, 2 mains and rice without anyone going hungry or any wastage. Only disappointment was the sunday/mothers day(?) surcharge that was not explained when booking or being seated. Overall a 4.5/5

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.
