Deko B*o*ko - Melbourne

We visited a charming Japanese restaurant in Richmond. We ordered the rice bowls, which were delicious, flavorful, and served in generous portions. We enjoyed the open and spacious atmosphere with the high ceilings, although we noticed that the restaurant seemed a bit understaffed during our visit. Despite this, we found the experience to be excellent value and we plan to return to explore more of the menu.

We discovered Deko Boko via Zomato Gold. Since then we’ve been frequenting this cafe almost every week. This place is gold! Delicious and great value for money food. Friendly staff and quick service whenever we dined there around 6pm.

My friends and I went to Deko Boko for lunch on a Saturday. The small cafe/restaurant has a very authentic and relaxed atmosphere with Japanese staff. We ordered the regular chicken Katsu curry ($12.80) and the large salmon poke bowl ($10.80). The curry was amazing and one of the best I've had in Melbourne. The poke bowl was also very good, but nothing too unique. Both dishes came with complimentary miso soup. I would definitely return for a beer during happy hour (5pm-7pm) as they have a great drinks menu. I also want to try their tiramisu next time!

I highly recommend this restaurant for Japanese food lovers. The food, service, and prices are all excellent.

My friend and I ordered a drink each, the takoyaki as a starter and I got the vegetarian curry whilst he got the salmon poke bowl. Trust me when i say, this place is SO good! We were in the area for other reasons and decided to try this place as it had a high rating. I honestly give it 5 out of 5. I love my Jap curry and have been on the hunt to find Melbourne's best. I think I may have found the best... Everything was so fresh, the matcha drinks were yummy and also offered some unusual flavours that sounded awesome to try AND the girl that served us was so friendly. I would honestly drive to Richmond again just to eat here! Love, love, love!! I definitely recommend the curry!
