Woosa Pancake Melbourne: Japanese Comfort Food & Fluffy Pancakes

---

If you love Japanese-style comfort food, crispy chicken katsu and seriously fluffy pancakes, Woosa Pancake Restaurant is one to add to your Melbourne CBD food list.

Located on Lonsdale Street, Woosa serves a mix of Japanese-inspired savoury dishes, curries, omurice, hamburger steaks, waffles and their signature fluffy pancakes, with a big focus on using fresh ingredients across the menu.

We recently visited and tried their $175 Set Menu for 4, which we think is a great option for families or groups wanting to sample a variety of dishes.

The $175 set menu includes:

• 4 mains
• 1 snack
• 4 drinks
• 2 desserts

At the moment, the set menu also includes their Cioppino Seafood Pumpkin Soup with Bread for Free, which we absolutely loved. It was rich, comforting and packed with fresh seafood, and a great way to start the meal.

A few dishes we highly recommend are the Hamburger Steak with Grated Daikon and Demi-Glace, which has that classic Japanese comfort-food feel, and the Omurice with Curry and Chicken – fluffy egg, curry and chicken all in one dish.

The kids had their own favourites too, especially the Strawberry & Fairy Floss Sunny Waffle, which is definitely one of the most fun-looking desserts on the menu.

And if you love matcha, don’t miss the Matcha Pancake with Adzuki Bean and Matcha Ice Cream. Their pancakes are incredibly light and fluffy, and this one has that perfect sweet-earthy matcha flavour.

Of course, chicken katsu is another standout, especially if you love Japanese curry. The crispy coating, curry sauce and rice make it an easy crowd-pleaser.
