5 Reviews on “Tokosan”
Loud, funny and crazy – that would be how I would describe Tokosan as a person. The umbrellas hanging from the ceilings, the underwear vending machine and the Japanese-inspired murals all add to the fun vibe of Tokosan.
The menu features a wide range of share plates, and who could miss the cocktails named after the characters in Kill Bill. The 2 cocktails that my partner and I ordered (Nikki Bell and Vernita Green) were way too sweet, but tasty nonetheless.
Being fairly hungry, we might have slightly went overboard with the food. The pork ribs were the standout dish – moist, sticky, tender to the point of falling of the bone, and deliciously smoky and caramelised. The katsu prawn and TFC were fried to perfection, both with a well-seasoned batter and delicious accompanying sauce.
The salmon inside out roll and crispy squid were run-of-the-mill dishes – good but not great. The Tokosan pancakes were rather ordinary too, and indistinguishable from a store-bought dorayaki.
Speaking of desserts, when we ordered the Yamazaki Sundae Split, we weren’t expecting to be presented with a sundae that was so massive that I could hide my face behind it. It should come with a warning and be listed as a main dish! At $15, it was very good value for money.
Tokosan delivers if you’re after a night of drinking, bar snacks and good fun. Thank you for the invite!
Co-owned by former rugby league great, Brett Stewart, Tokosan is entering the hip Japanese fusion food scene.
The interior is very modern, it feels like a Japanese themed speakeasy slash nightclub. There’s a vending machine for womens undergarments near the toilet. I was hoping this was not because the food was going to have a negative effect on me haha (only joking) This is probably a nod to the random vending machines that frequent Japan.
We were invited by the owners to try the menu. We were greeted with a cocktail on arrival. They were large and filling.
The food was okay. Their traditional japanese fare were good. Seared tuna and their handrolls were done well. The bao burgers, the bao were on the dry side, and needed more sauce. The dessert in the giant wine glass was a good idea, but needs refinement. Kids would love it.
All in all, this feels like a Japanese night club with food.
Tokosan is one of those places you’ll want to return to again and again. Lots of space, delicious food and a great atmosphere/decor (think upside down umbrellas, colourful Japanese signage and there’s even an underwear vending machine!) They also offer $1 oysters on Mondays, all you can eat sushi for $20 on Tuesdays and bottomless booze with their Sunday brunch. Their Japanese street-style menu is designed for sharing and while everything we sampled was delicious, the wagyu cheese bao-gers were my favourite (such soft bao buns!)
Big thanks to Tokosan for inviting us to visit!

My partner and I dined here for dinner. This place is fun w Japanese umbrellas hanging from the ceiling to a karaoke room and a great bar! Woo hoo hahaha
We were seated in a booth which was really comfortable and we started w a cocktail each and OMGosh they were really good! I had a Pai Mei which was amazing and my partner tried the Benita Green which was sweet but tasty.
We ordered a range of dishes including the seared tuna sashimi which was superb, Takoyaki squid which were just as good. The Chicken Katsu w gravy was the best one Ive eaten outside of Japan.
Another highlight was the vegetarian inside out roll and the flounder karaage was at another level. Just perfect!
We had a great night and although it was a weeknight I was surprised to see this place only half full although it was a cold night. This place is definitely worth a visit and we were so impressed we are heading back soon so keep an eye out for for some more pics.
I would also like to thank Tokosan for the invite to visit their restaurant.
Loved the look of this venue from the minute we walked in!! Bright and lovely with different spaces within the restaurant.., indoors , outdoors, karaoke, booths, tables… amazing. We sat at the front of the restaurant where we could people watch. First up we had edamame which arrived in a box. We shared a few other dishes and chose bubbles to drink with our meals as it was a warm night. Miso salmon was the highlight dish but it was all good… salt and pepper calamari, eggplant etc
The meals were delivered as they were ready so not in any specific order but as we were sharing that didnt present any problems. After your meal be sure to wander around the place and check out the bar and karaoke rooms.
