Token found in South Yarra, Melbourne, offers a dining experience with two unique zones, each with an open kitchen. Step inside, and you’ll find a lively raw bar at the front, where sushi chefs prepare fresh, made-to-order dishes right before your eyes. Head to the back, and things heat up around a custom-built binchotan yakitori grill, where flames, smoke, and the rich aroma of charcoal fill the air, creating a fun and immersive atmosphere.
An elevated dining space
Token blends classic Japanese style with modern touches, making it warm and contemporary. Traditional elements mix with fresh details like our NOROCK Lunar self-stabilising disc bases in antique bronze, chosen by our friends at James Richardson Furniture. These bases not only fit the look perfectly but also make sure your table stays steady.
The NOROCK table bases combine a beautiful aesthetic with clever engineering which subtly, but importantly, enhances our guest experience. No more rocking tables!

The menu varies, from the fresh and delicious at the raw bar, to the grill section where the flavours get even richer andall expertly cooked over the restaurant’s signature yakitori grill.
