Seriously one of the BEST dining experiences I’ve had in a while. Tonight I caught up with a good friend who just moved into the area and as we were looking for a place to eat we stumbled across Ishiya. We figured it looked inviting so we went in and grabbed a table. The couple next to us (celebrating their 19 year anniversary) immediately turned to us and said ‘The food here is amazing. We’re total foodies and we’ve been here twice before’ They were so right. Great quality food, great atmosphere, great table theatrics and great service. I already want to come back! Thank you! ❤️

I recently tried the food here and it was incredibly tasty, especially the high-quality meat! I ordered the package for five people, which was a good choice that includes entree, mains, and dessert! The staff explained some of the foods they served however they did not to explain the cuts of meat, which would have been helpful. The space was okay but a bit small for larger groups. I still highly recommend this place for its delicious food. I'm looking forward to returning and trying more of their amazing dishes.

Must try the grill set two, was very fresh and tasty. The salmon was brought to us in dry ice (spectacular). Love that you can cook meat on stone to your liking. Service was great and atmosphere was lovely. Best Japanese food I’ve tasted in Melbourne. Highly recommend.

We decided to try Ishiya as we crave Steak a day before and not only did we got a great tasting steak but so many other orders - salmon, chicken, prawn, lobster tail and of course the awesome dessert! Overall, it was a great night out, perfect dinner. The place was really nice, private and just right for a romantic dinner. The service was phenominal, they've recommended such great tasting food and the dessert...the dessert is a must try.

On 26 April we went to Ishiya Japanese Stonegrill for our date night and we got: 🍹 Peach Fantasia Very refreshing and fun drink! 🥧 Wagyu Steak Frite Tart Freshly cooked, crunchy outer potato layer with onion balanced with soft wagyu beef. This one-bite dish is something you must not miss out on ‼️ 🥩 Custom Grill Set 2 Perfect for 2-3 people with high quality selection of 5 wagyu beef cuts 😍 This also includes a couple of entree - salmon sashimi, baked scallops and wagyu tataki (seared in front of us!!), fried rice and desserts. We also could pick 2 extra items from their Standard and Premium dishes, and we chose Beef Ribs slices and Wagyu Scotch slices. The best experience was cooking our own meat on the massive hot stone!! ♨️ Overall, it’s probably one of the best dining experiences we had 🥰 The food was incredible, honestly no fault! The service was friendly and efficient - we appreciate the personal touches such as searing the wagyu on the stone in front of us 🙌🏻 The ambience is intimate and cozy, but enough space between the tables to still have a quality time with your company. The menu is quite extensive so it could get overwhelming, but the staff were ready to help! We 100% highly recommend this place and you’re guaranteed to have a great time ✨
