I had their braised pork bento box, it was really delicious. the atmosphere of the place is also quite laid back and pleasant, with all the staff very helpful and friendly. For students, they have many meals that are price friendly, so definitely check it out :)

lovely food and really friendly happy staff, but lunch service is slow during Monash uni term time. Yummy all day big breakfasts $18.50, avo and fetta smash $10 home made sandwiches, wraps, foccaccias, they cook most aussie faves, PLUS Uzu authentic japanese sushi master, makes delicious fresh very reasonably priced sushumi and tons of japanese meals on his menu. Restore and UZU under the work roof works brilliantly and appeals to whatever Aussie or Japanese taste you want to eat. Highly recommend to all.

I went for a meal with my partner at midday on a monday. The coffee was nothing special and the sugar at the table was so old that everyone of them were stone solid and unable to be opened. The cutlery is wrapped nicely in a napkin as expected but then tapped up so you cant even use it after eating. The eggs were soggy and gross and what can easily be a beautiful delicious meal was a below standard experince. If you want standard i would save the money and cook it yourself at home.

I didn’t know there’s Taiwanese meal hidden at a local cafe bar before my friend recommended! As a Taiwanese, I can say this popcorn chicken bento is definitely authentic flavour! It made me miss the Railway Bento in Taiwan so much! I ordered takeaways for a few times! The quantity is too big for me to finish as lunch, I usually keep another half for dinner! The price is economical!

Stopped in to wait out train delays, i thought it was just a cafe but this place is a bit under the radar and serves some awesome food. Freindly service, calm and quiet, good food. Really enjoyed my chicken udon and the stress of my commute melted away.

Basic Hygiene a worry here- Hands all over the insides of take away coffee cups . You pick cups up from the bottom not the top. Taste of the coffee was weak and awful. When coffee shops concentrate on taking orders as customers come in- However nobody actually making coffee - If coffee is going to be 10 mins or more tell me esp in the am. Give me a wait time.

The food is ok, nothing too special and the chai latte they serve is a bit watery. But the staffs and owner there are very friendly plus they have a reward program for coffee drinkers. They are a nice little store that you may want to stay at to do your work while enjoying your lunch.

Never again. I've eaten breakfast here before. The service was lousy and the breakfast very average (could make better at home). Dropped in for some sushi today before catching a tram and was ignored for a little bit, and the sushi tasted old/refrigerated and not good rice. Cafe Uzu when it was open was far higher quality.

if you want to spend 30mins of your precious lunch break waiting for a beef udon to be cooked then go. Apparently the staff was busy chatting and forgot about my order. Ridiculous!

I ordered a pickup order, it says it’s gonna be ready at 12:41. I arrive at 13:05, I was trying to talk to them. They just called me to find somewhere else to wait and do not stand in front of the counter.

The owner is a Taiwanese couple and they have been running this place for many years. Now they are turning it into a Taiwanese restaurant called "18 Railway Bento" super authentic and tasty Taiwanese food, highly recommended !!!

Usually I come in for a coffee and avo toast. Takes 25 minutes for Me To receive my coffee and toast. They have gotten my Coffee order wrong on two occasions. Take in mind its never busy either so no excuse.

The place atmosphere is calm and relaxing,staff were friendly and cutlery have seen some history. Had the Katsudon. A bit sweeter then normal but still very nice. Will comeback again one day

great food. cheap prices. will come again

Food is relatively cheap but you pay for what you get. The coffees are rather decent. Staff have been friendly.

Just not as good as I remembered when I went in last week. Looks like it has changed hands

Like the breakfast menu, staff are so cooperative. Don't miss out Egg Florantine.

Lovely service and great coffee ;) I go here about 4 times a week, love it.

Exceeded my expectations + friendly …
