Ilza Cafe

The food quantity is good. The beef and chicken are cooked just right. The restaurant is nice to offer two of their desserts, sesame and matcha favoured desserts for our group of 8 people to share. I felt if they could have changed their white canvas curtain to some Japanese printed fabric designs will be great. That will make our group photo looks great. So far it looks a little plain for that background. The restaurant is difficult to find in my opinion. Directional signs around that stadium will be helpful.

The best food I've had in Melbourne thus far. Highly recommend the strawberry matcha latte: it was life-changing. The mazeudon was impeccable, as was the katsu sando and baos. My friends really loved the matcha panna cotta too! I wish I could live in that restaurant, it was just that good :") <3 When I'm back in Melbourne, I'm 1000% going to come back here for more!

Loved this place! The food is absolutely delicious! Had the grilled teriyaki chicken don, the chicken itself was slighty crispy, melt in your mouth with the sauce being just the perfect match. The rice and the salad were the perfect combo. I would say the dish was the perfect size for me, though if you are usually a big eater, this may leave you just satisfied but not overly full. Would definitely recommend for lunch!

Would give more stars if possible. Fast service, fantastic + comforting food and a great atmosphere to top it all off. The strawberry matcha latte was perfect in terms of flavour and sweetness. The strawberry puree made it taste extremely fresh, and the crumbled freeze dried strawberry on top created a very pleasant aroma from the first sip alone. The fried tofu skin curry udon was unbelievably satisfying. The texture of the sweet tofu, the perfectly chewy udon and the incredibly comforting curry made for an amazing and filling meal. Will definitely be coming here again! I can't believe it took me so long to dine here.

Arrived on a rainy day and we were the first sit-in customers. The drinks blew our mind. The orange matcha 🍵 was refreshing, sweet, with subtle tangy notes of tangerine, a little overpowers the matcha notes - but still, flavoursome! The cheese hamburger curry udon was hearty. The beef cutlet was so juicy and tender, the meat juice was oozing when I cut it into half. The onsen egg definitely enhances the mouthful flavour and smoothness to the curry. Will definitely be back. Thank you for the welcoming service too! ❤️

Delicious food served in a cozy little cafe. Highly recommend the maze udon or the cheese hamburger curry udon. I’d also recommend the matcha strawberry latte. Although the orange latte is unique, the orange flavour wasn’t noticeable and tasted mostly like a regular latte. It’s tucked away in a corner outside Marvel Stadium and can be a little hard to find. Signage outside isn’t great.
