Omakase Prices in Melbourne: What A$195 Covers at Rōnin
Omakase prices in Melbourne are rarely written down in one place, which makes the first question people ask, how much is it, oddly hard to answer. This page answers it for Rōnin exactly and for the rest of the city as published in 2026.
Rōnin is A$195 per guest (no prepayment required), with a weekend and public holiday surcharge set out below, and the bill is paid at the end of the meal.
What the Price Covers
About ten courses decided by the chef on the day, served over roughly two hours at the ten seat counter. Banchan, raw and cured courses seasoned with jang, charcoal cooked courses, a noodle or rice course and dessert. The chef’s commentary comes free.
What You Pay on Top
Drinks. They are ordered on the night and added to the bill, and Korean whisky has appeared on the counter, as Broadsheet reported. There is no fixed pairing. BYO is not available, so there is no corkage either.
Payment & Cancellation Policy
Card details are required to secure your reservation. No charge is made at the time of booking, full payment is collected in-restaurant at the end of your dining experience.
Cancellations made more than 72 hours before your reservation are free of charge.
For groups of 4 or more, cancellations must be made at least 7 days prior to the reservation date to avoid a full charge.
Cancellations or no-shows within the above cancellation window will incur a full charge to the card on file. As an omakase experience, ingredients are procured fresh and to order based on confirmed guest numbers, late cancellations result in costs that cannot be recovered.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to hosting you.
Surcharge applies to Weekend (10%) and Public Holiday (15%).

Affordable Omakase in Melbourne
If A$195 (no prepayment required) is above budget, lunch sittings at some counters and nigiri-only menus in the suburbs come in lower. Rōnin does not run a lunch or a short menu, so our price is the price. We would rather you book the counter that fits than stretch for ours.
