Freshmade (FM) Japanese Cafe - Perth

Decent ramen and gyoza at reasonable prices. Perth has some of the best Japanese offerings in Australia. Service was prompt, friendly and polite, very Japanese.

Mouth-watering food at very reasonable prices and friendly staff make for exceptional value at this Japanese corner cafe. Teriyaki ginger beef is a stand-out dish.

What a generous serving! There’s plenty of food on offer and lots of variety which appealed to me the most. I’m a real fan of karaage chicken so was glad to see this as an option under the bento box section. This version was different to those I’ve eaten previously with a slightly different batter. It’s light and crunchy and doesn’t go soggy at all. The batter is lovely and encases tender succulent chicken with a rich mayo. Karaage chicken normally is crumbed which I prefer but this was still tasty. I also loved the other elements in the bento box. The fish cake was so delicious, light, soft super tender fish encased in a golden crumb. The tempura prawn was also excellent, a perfect light crunchy batter encasing well cooked prawn. Then there’s the octopus balls (takoyaki) which has soft tender octopus surrounded by a light gooey pancakey mixture with a lovely golden brown outer. These were rich, creamy and very enjoyable, especially with the sweetish BBQ sauce. The miso soup was warm and soothing, the salad certainly helped to take the edge of the rich and deep fried elements and was particularly refreshing. The rice with sesame seeds was lovely and I like the pickled ginger to aid digestion. The sugar snap peas were a bit unusual though, very stringy and chewy apart from the peas inside. Really stuffed, glad I’ve got a bit of a walk back to the office which is much needed. Satisfied.

Quite like the ramen here. Vegetable tempura is nice<br/ Good choices and food to choose from<br/ Broth is full of flavour <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/ <br/

For the price that you pay this cafe is rather good.  The terryaki chicken udon always hits the spot!! definately would recommend over their ramen
