Birthday and Anniversary Dinner in Melbourne CBD
Birthdays are the most common note in Rōnin’s booking book. A ten seat counter suits them: the whole table shares one sitting, the chef cooks in front of everyone, and nobody has to agree on what to order. Anniversaries take the two seats at the end of the counter and get the same night at a quieter volume.
This page covers how a celebration works at the counter and what it cannot do.
From Two to Ten
For two, book two seats. For a group, book up to ten and the counter is yours; the private omakase page explains the buyout. Tell us the occasion in the booking notes. Courses are fixed, so there is no birthday dessert swap, but the room will mark the night.
The Quiet Version
A ten seat room is private without being empty. Side by side seats, about ten courses over two hours, and a chef who reads the table. Date night at the counter covers the two person version.
Why Omakase Suits an Occasion
Nothing to decide, something new every course, and Korean cooking that does not exist at another counter in Melbourne. What the Korean omakase is and what to expect if it is your first.
Dates and the Release Rule
Seats for the next month open on the 20th of each month at 8pm via OpenTable. If the birthday falls on a Friday or Saturday, book the evening of the release. For a date that has already passed its release and is not showing, email info@roninomakase.com.
Read Before You Book for Someone Else
No dietary alterations for anyone at the counter. No BYO. Service starts on time. Dinner only, Wednesday to Saturday. The dietary page is the one to send to your guests.
