Deko B*o*ko - Melbourne

We discovered Deko Boko via Zomato Gold. Since then we’ve been frequenting this cafe almost every week. This place is gold! Delicious and great value for money food. Friendly staff and quick service whenever we dined there around 6pm.

My friends and I went to Deko Boko for lunch on a Saturday. The small cafe/restaurant has a very authentic and relaxed atmosphere with Japanese staff. We ordered the regular chicken Katsu curry ($12.80) and the large salmon poke bowl ($10.80). The curry was amazing and one of the best I've had in Melbourne. The poke bowl was also very good, but nothing too unique. Both dishes came with complimentary miso soup. I would definitely return for a beer during happy hour (5pm-7pm) as they have a great drinks menu. I also want to try their tiramisu next time!

Visited Deko Boko twice within a week. You definitely have to try the chicken karage don and the Japanese curry. Portion was quite generous and price is affordable. The matcha soufflé was not as good as I expected but I would definitely be back to try the other cakes. Overall extremely pleased with the food!!

What an unassuming gem! We popped in for some rainy Friday night Japanese. This place is great value all of this food plus a yuzu soda and iced matcha latte was $30. The iced latte was sweet without overpowering the traditional matcha flavour. It was great to be able to choose the spice level of the katsu curry, and my poke salmon don had so much flavour and variety with a little bit of spice too. Their desserts look fantastic and we’ll be back for more!

We visited a charming Japanese restaurant in Richmond. We ordered the rice bowls, which were delicious, flavorful, and served in generous portions. We enjoyed the open and spacious atmosphere with the high ceilings, although we noticed that the restaurant seemed a bit understaffed during our visit. Despite this, we found the experience to be excellent value and we plan to return to explore more of the menu.
