About Yokoso Izakaya Northcote

Yokoso Izakaya turns Northcote’s High Street strip into a spirited Japanese haunt built for lively gatherings and shared dining. Regulars lean into generous banquet spreads and hot tapas—crisp tempura prawns, seared scallops, and skewers of char-grilled wagyu beef. Phone-based table ordering lets groups pace rounds easily and split tabs without the checkout scramble. Tables fill with glasses of classic plum wine, cloudy yuzu umeshu garnished with a whole fruit from the bottle, and clean sashimi platters accompanied by fresh, crunchy seaweed.

  • Seamless QR Ordering and Bill Splitting: Tableside digital ordering allows diners to submit orders and split payments directly on their mobile phones.
  • Sharing Banquets and Tapas: Multi-course platters showcase seared scallops, tempura prawns, and skewered meats built for sharing.
  • Fresh Sashimi and Plum Wine: Chilled sashimi platters feature clean flavours and crunchy seaweed, paired with house cocktails and garnished umeshu.
