Osaka Bench

About Us

Osaka Bench is a compact Japanese restaurant on Flinders Lane with welded tables and bench seating facing an open teppanyaki grill — a quick Osaka-style lunch spot a short walk from Flinders Street Station. What's On Melbourne describes okonomiyaki and other dishes cooked in front of you on the teppan; the Ritual menu (Jun 2026) lists okonomiyaki sets with protein toppings, curry- and gravy-style omurice, sukiyaki and teriyaki donburi, spicy squid yakisoba, and bento boxes, plus appetizers such as takoyaki, pork gyoza, tatsuta-age, and giant Hokkaido scallop teppanyaki, with most mains under $20. OpenStreetMap tags amenity=restaurant, cuisine=japanese, takeaway=yes. Eat-in, takeaway, and delivery via Ritual, PikMo, and Uber Eats. No standalone domain — facebook.com/osakabench is the venue's official web channel (linked from What's On Melbourne); Instagram @osakabench_au for day-to-day posts. Walk-ins only. Open daily 11:00am–9:00pm per Restaurant Guru (updated Mar 2026), PikMo, and @osakabench_au; Restaurant Guru lists a Friday 11am–4pm / 4:30pm–9pm split while PikMo/Instagram show continuous 11am–9pm — hours use the continuous schedule.
