About MON JAPANESE BISTRO

Tucked along Newcastle Street, this unassuming Leederville bistro delivers everyday Japanese comfort staples without the fuss. Regulars duck in for midday set lunches—hearty spreads featuring crisp chicken katsu, teriyaki, or fresh sashimi paired alongside rice, salad, and warm miso. The kitchen keeps up a brisk clip, sending out piping bowls of chicken karaage curry and tender gyoza to tables packed with families and office escapees. Come evening, dedicated izakaya nights roll out a specialized plant-based tapas menu featuring miso-glazed nasu and crispy vegetable tempura.

  • Bento and lunch sets: Midday specials arrive as generous combinations packed with katsu or teriyaki, steamed rice, salad, and miso soup.
  • Plant-based izakaya nights: Dedicated evening events showcase an extensive plant-based tapas menu spanning grilled nasu eggplant and tempura.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does MON offer vegan or vegetarian options?

Yes. In addition to regular vegetarian choices like the veggie bento and agedashi tofu, MON hosts dedicated vegan izakaya nights featuring an all-plant-based Japanese tapas menu. Diners note these event nights can get very busy, so arriving early is recommended.

How large are the portions?

Portion sizes are generally quite generous across bento boxes, curry dishes, and set meals, though lighter raw dishes like chirashi bowls come in smaller single-serve portions. If you order multiple mains or sides and have leftovers, staff can provide takeaway containers.

Should you make a reservation before visiting?

Yes, reservations are accepted and can be booked in advance. Table bookings are especially helpful on busy Friday and weekend dinner services, where walk-ins may encounter wait times or slower service during peak dining rushes.

What is included in the lunch specials?

Yes, MON offers daytime lunch set meals and bento boxes that bundle main dishes like teriyaki or katsu with rice, salad, and miso soup. Both lunch and dinner dine-in are offered alongside takeout and delivery options.
