Hanaya Fusion Cafe

What a find and thank you google reviews for the recommendation! This one really lived up to it! An Asian Australian fusion leaning heavily towards Japanese, I found it delightful. The cafe itself is quite compact but there's any outdoor area which was great. I had the chicken sando with shokupan that was toasted which was unusual but tasted smashing. My friend has Teriyaki Chicken Karaage Rice bowl which she loved. It was a treat for us. There were also fresh pastries and sandwiches on offer. Worth a drive to Geelong for the experience.

What a cute Cafe! Staff are friendly and the food is amazing. I had a rice bowl with tofu and I loved it. The ramen smelled wonderful. I will have to go back. Great prices too.

We LOVED everything about this place - from the bustling lunchtime buzz to the warm and friendly service, and even how small it was. And of course, the absolutely delicious food. I had absolutely no expectations before coming here. Just thought it was another cute place to try! But gosh it might just be a new favourite 🤩🫶✨ Their menu had so many vegan options which I’m excited to come back to try ( something I don’t come across often with Japanese food ). I got the tofu rice bowl with Japanese curry and my partner got the chicken karaage Tonkotsu Ramen - and we barely spoke a word to each other ( there was some occasional ‘my mind is blown’ eye contact 🤭 ). We also got edamame and dumplings to share as well as genmaicha tea. The depth of flavour in our dishes was really incredible and for the price point we feel like it was just so much value. For how insanely busy they were and the limited staff that were on, their service was still so warm and genuine and I cannot wait to go back. 11/10 recommend 🫰

Oh my lord that was the best katsu curry don bowl I have ever had! Amazing flavours! Will def be back Well done team!!!

Super cute tiny Japanese fusion cafe, serving ramen, sando and Japanese street food. I really like their food, but I was a little disappointed with their matcha quality - I like matcha that is brighter in colour and naturally sweet or neutral, not bitter. But I know I’m picky with quality matcha! It’s a popular local spot and always busy!
