About The Roe Australia

Glen Waverley’s dedicated temple of uni delivers an unrelenting hit of ocean brine and custardy richness. Melbourne seafood regulars skip conventional sushi counters for this inventive dining room, where sweet, buttery sea urchin anchors almost every course. The kitchen turns out decadent foie gras wagyu uni mini toast alongside whiskey-infused sea urchin ramen with deep umami broth. Ootoro sashimi and New Zealand King Salmon arrive pristine, matched by signature bird nest milk tea or fresh oysters topped with caviar. Upstairs, an educational sea urchin museum explores marine sustainability, while interactive DIY onigiri sets keep children occupied at the table. Meals finish over warm green tea and sweet mochi.

  • Uni-Centric Fusion: Buttery sea urchin takes center stage across dishes like whiskey-infused ramen and foie gras wagyu toast.
  • Upstairs Urchin Museum: The venue features an upstairs educational exhibition exploring sustainable sea urchin harvesting.
  • Ocean-Fresh Seafood: Pristine New Zealand King Salmon, ootoro sashimi, and caviar-topped oysters emphasize fresh sourcing.
  • Interactive DIY Kids' Meals: Younger diners stay engaged with hands-on 'Create Your Own Onigiri' assembly plates during lunch.

  • Pristine, Sweet Sea Urchin Quality

    Diners enjoy exceptionally fresh, sweet sea urchin that melts in the mouth without any fishy aftertaste.

    The sea urchin was unbelievably fresh, sweet and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The oysters were equally pristine—super fresh with zero fishy aftertaste at all.

  • Inventive Sea Urchin Broths & Pairings

    Chefs craft inventive uni-forward pairings like whiskey-infused broths that deliver deep, balanced umami flavor.

    We tried the whiskey infused sea urchin ramen, the soup had a wonderful umami flavour that went well with the creamy sweet sea urchin.
