I love Cafe Carpenter! Have been here a few times and the each experience was great. The interior is so homely, comfortable and well decorated.The staff were amazing and very friendly too! The presentation and flavours of the food were impeccable. I tried their matcha latte which was one of the best I've had so far. Although a little thin, the matcha flavour was strong, and had just the right level of sweetness for my enjoyment. Their okonomiyaki is easily the nicest I've had in Melbourne. The batter is light, crispy and not overly oily. It also contained an abundance of pork and vegetables, slathered generously with okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise. Yet, the balance of flavours were just ri...
We found this cute little hole-in-the-wall when we went to a map store just up the road. Funky decor, groovy music & a great extensive menu offering breakfast until 2pm. The dishes are Korean/Japanese & the menu makes choice accessible if you are not too familiar with the cuisine. 2 lovely guys were running the cafe 1 cook & 1 running the house so the food did take a while to come out but the atmosphere was great so my partner & I could indulge in long conversations as we were not in a rush to get anywhere. The food was fresh & flavoursome, Spicy Chicken (True!) & classic Korean Pancake were generous enough to share & we were satisfied but not stuffed. We will absolutely make the trip down t...
Wow! I can 't believe I worked next door since you opened and never had a meal there! Amazing food, service and people. Immensely enjoyed the Spicy Chicken Wings as an entree and when you mean spicy you really mean 'spicy '! Will be bringing a small entourage in with us next time to order both the Spicy and Sweet Soy Chicken Wings for entree and sample more of your delicious menu for the mains! Loved the Spicy BBQ Lamb Chops and enjoyed the Bossam (when we think we figured out how to eat it). We only had from the Korean side of the menu tonight, next time maybe the Japanese! Yuong, Sachiko and staff... I applaud you and the fine experience Cafe Carpenter is! Thank you for helping us to celeb...
Nice to sit at the bar and see the cooking in action.We arrived at 1.30pm on Sunday and it was packed and there was a queue. The inside is small and there's no reservations. Parking is along the street and very limited. Directly opposite red rooster. There is a parking lot at the back in a laneway.Service a little slow as they cook everything to order. Staff a little flustered and under attentive but managed to be polite. No wifi. Visa pay wave accepted.Flat white was great. Long black OK. Fried chicken tebasaki soy sauce good but a little over the top with the sauce. Was a little underwhelmed with the spicy Korean chicken. Onokomiyaki good but a little over the top with the mayo.

I've been here a couple of times now with friends and we've loved it every time. The food is so delicious and they have vegetarian options as well. I recommend for starters the wings and edamame with plum salt! You can't go wrong! We always order plates to share as it's the perfect way to enjoy everything but if you just want a main grab yourself the bipambop! Then help yourself to an adorable size ice cream
Cute place, awesome and authentic food and drinks. Our favourites are: soy matcha latte, okonomiyaki, korean street toast, beef spare ribs, and they even have freshly made takoyaki just like in Osaka..
If I don't live so far from this place it would probably be my regular. Great service and food. Always welcomed with a smiling face when we visit. Especially love the sweet potato noodles!
There is nothing negative to say about this place and the staff that run it. Best place in the area for fabulous coffee, amazing food, and a nice cold beer at the end of the day. Book a table now
The atmosphere is fantastic, very cozy, and the food is delicious. A perfect spot for regular dining.
