About LiHO Shokudo

Skip the city run: this intimate Burwood shokudo turns out scratch Japanese comfort food with precision and zero fuss. Patrons line up for the crisp omu katsu curry—juicy pork cutlet resting on fluffy eggs and rich gravy—or take the guesswork out of dinner with Ken's multi-course Feed Me menu. Think tender beef, kingfish sashimi, and house-marinated black cod saiko yaki alongside tailored drink pours, finishing on yuzu crème brûlée.

  • The Feed Me Chef Selection: A multi-course tasting menu offering savory seasonal courses plus dessert, with easy adjustments for dietary needs.
  • Refined Scratch Comforts: Scratch sauces, house-made miso for the cod, and juicy pork cutlets with fluffy omurice.

  • Refined Culinary Craftsmanship

    Dishes are executed with precision, from delicately cooked proteins to house-made misos and authentic scratch-made soup bases.

    The cutlet was only just cooked through, it was still juicy and not dry like the other two restaurants.

  • Authentic Suburban Izakaya Flavors

    Traditional flavors and authentic izakaya-style preparations transport suburban diners to Japan without traveling into the inner city.

    This has been the most authetic Japanese cuisine that I have tried in Melbourne.

  • Black Cod Saiko Yaki

    The black cod saiko yaki was really nice. We re order it again after we finished all our first round dishes.

  • Prawn Tempura Udon

    I had the prawn tempura udon and the soup base was wonderful, the sauce on the side had a rich miso flavour which you knew it’s not pre-made from the Asian supermarkets.

Before you head over

Practical advice on reservations, menu choices, and arrival for dining at LiHO Shokudo

  • Book Ahead for Intimate Seating

    The venue is quaint and compact with limited seating across two floors, so reserving ahead is strongly advised to secure a table, especially during peak dinner and weekend hours.

  • Opt for the Feed Me Chef Selection

    If you want a multi-course experience without choosing dish by dish, the Feed Me chef selection provides around six to eight generous courses, and staff readily accommodate dietary requirements.

  • Plan for Limited Street Parking

    Street parking immediately along Burwood Highway is limited, so plan extra time to locate a nearby side-street spot when arriving by car.
