About Oishii on Wheels

Tucked into Pall Mall, this cozy counter serves Bendigo's most satisfying bowls of ramen alongside generous, freshly rolled sushi. The tiny room evokes a Tokyo side-street stall, where stools fill fast and the crew treats every walk-in like a long-time regular. Broths run rich—from a deep tonkotsu to umami-heavy miso with springy noodles and jammy eggs—while the kitchen turns out house-made sauces and crisp chicken katsu curry. Round it off with a side of plump pan-fried gyoza and a scoop of matcha ice cream.

  • Comforting Bowls of Ramen: Rich tonkotsu and savory miso noodle bowls topped with springy noodles, chashu, and jammy eggs.
  • Substantial Rolls & Comfort Fare: Substantial, freshly made sushi rolls alongside crisp chicken katsu curry and plump gyoza.
  • Cozy Backstreet Atmosphere: A compact dining nook on Pall Mall run by an attentive crew that greets diners warmly.

  • Fresh, House-Made Sushi Rolls

    Generously portioned sushi rolls prepared fresh on-site stand apart from mass-produced food-court alternatives.

    Best sushi rolls in town and they are fresh. You pay a little more than you would for a sushi roll in a food court at the shopping centre but it is SO WORTH IT!

  • Prawn Roll

    The prawn roll is the star of the meal. This has to be one of the best I had in vic even though there's no wasabi served with it. It really didnt need anything more.

Before you head over

Practical advice on seating, service hours, and menu ordering for your visit

  • Expect Limited Seating and Seat Turnover

    Because seating is limited and in high demand, dining space can feel tight during peak hours. Avoid lingering or loitering after finishing your meal so waiting diners can sit.

  • Check Dinner Availability on Thursday and Friday

    Beyond their traditional daytime lunch trade, dinner service runs on select evenings, specifically Thursday and Friday nights, making those ideal slots for an evening ramen fix.

  • Prioritize the Prawn and Fresh Sushi Rolls

    For a hearty and distinctive option, go for the compact prawn roll or signature oversized sushi rolls, which offer larger portions than standard food-court fare.
