About A red dot Japanese Restaurant

A red dot brings genuine Japanese craft to Traralgon with crisp karaage chicken and expertly balanced plates. Road-trippers drop by Church Street for daytime sets built with salmon teriyaki, rice, and miso soup. Groups gather over multi-course chef-curated banquets—think eggplant dengaku and tako yaki—while the room buzzes with hospitable floor service. Save space at the finish for a house mochi donut.

  • Chef-Curated Banquets: Multi-course tasting spreads selected by the chef bring shared plates like eggplant dengaku and takoyaki to group tables.
  • Midday Lunch Sets: Daytime lunch sets pair mains like salmon teriyaki or udon with steamed rice, miso soup, and a drink.
