Osaka Bench

About Us

Osaka Bench is a compact Japanese restaurant on Flinders Lane — roughly fourteen welded tables and bench seating face an open teppanyaki grill, 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. Eat-in, takeaway, and delivery via Ritual, PikMo, and Uber Eats.
