Y14 Japanese Seafood Kitchen & Bar

I Y14! Beautiful, high-quality Japanese food on Sandringham’s charming Bay Road. Great for groups as most of the dishes are perfect for sharing. Lovely place to sit outside and watch the world go by. The kingfish sashimi, fried chicken and savory pancake are must-haves. Seriously delicious food, warm and friendly service and it’s a stone’s throw from the beach - what more could you ask for? ! Well to think of it, can you open a branch in North Melbourne, pleeease?

We absolutely love dining at Y14. A warm, welcoming and cool space with a really nice vibe! The food is always fresh, lovingly prepared and the most tastiest Japanese we have come across in Melbourne! Not to mention Family friendly! T

I dont usually write reviews but after this evenings dining experience i felt compelled to do so. This place has been a favourite of mine & my partner for a few years now however after the last couple of times we have noticed a large decline in quality of food & service. Tonight in particular has taken the cake. We received raw pork dumpling which we left for the waitress to see however she took the plate away without any form of acknowledgement. The food quailty is not what it used to be. The service has gone down hill mainly due to the young staff with lack of customer service skills.
Its quite disappointing that we will now have to find a new regular Japenese restaurant to go to.

Came from the Mornington peninsula and had a family meal here and it was amazing. We now get take away regularly when in the area.

An absolute favourite of ours now and will keep coming back as often as we can. The food is simply incredible. Narrowing down the choices is proving impossible so I recommend ordering everything. A couple of favourites are the Donburi and Okonomiyaki - don't miss! Excellent vegetarian options too and all so beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and the service was superb. We love the atmosphere in there and have now ranged from table sitting with a group to sitting up at the bar and loved both. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Delicious food, beautiful venue and fantastic staff. My partner and I have been coming here for at least 3 years. Everything is always fresh and super authentic. Great drinks list too.

This place is terrible. You have to order through the use of QR codes. The place is run by kids with no interest in customer service or hospitality. The food was bland and very overpriced/expensive. Main dishes filled with a sizeable bed of white rice at a hefty price. I will not return and suggest others avoid.

Love love love this restaurant! Japanese is my all time favourite cuisine and Y14 delivers every time. Fast efficient service with a friendly smile and excellent fresh authentic dishes which are delicious. Love the vibe of the whole place and can't wait to return! I'll be back soon!

Our families favourite Japanese restaurant. We travel an hour (there and back) from Mornington Peninsula just for the food and service. The food is so fresh and the staff so very accommodating and polite.

Even though QR code ordering, zero service existed. No hi, or thank you when we left. Kitchen staff eating with their fingers in plain view of all customers. No hygiene whatsoever.
The food was average, not a restaurant quality. Very overpriced for what it is. Will never come back.

Absolutely beautiful service. Couldn’t fault the place. Amazing food as well. Not a single L was taken. Highly recommend.

Amazing Japanese food by the beach. My husband and I eat here all the time and the food is always incredible - fresh and delicious. It is also dog and family friendly which is a bonus!

Onight I dined at Y14 and I simply couldn’t help myself but to leave a review. The food was absolutely outstanding! All the food was so fresh and traditional! My personal favourite was the Spicy Tuna Sushi Roll, it was to die for! The service at Y14 has never let me down, they are so fast and efficient, and deliver with so much care. I would also like to make a special mention to our waitress tonight, she told us her name was Amelia. She was so kind and caring and had a very extensive knowledge of all the food we ordered and gave us great recommendations! I hope to see her at our next visit! Overall, exceptional food, outstanding service and a beautiful dining experience! Thankyou Y14, perfect dining experience for a balmy Melbourne night!

Fairly average overall, unlikely to return. The teriyaki chicken was a generic brown sauce, slightly congealed, with rubbery chicken. Chilli chicken gyoza were nice but nothing special. Ordering online is easy, however customer service is then minimal, food dropped on the table in random order, with no interaction. If you just want a quick meal, this might be for you. If you're looking for a nicer dining experience, this is not it. Expensive for what it is, had better at many cheaper/basic places.

Chicken teriyaki donburi tasted like microwave reheated foot court food. Large portion but poor quality. Good location near beach.

A nice little place to dine in or take away fresh sushi in Bayside. A bit too much mayonnaise in some of the roles that’s why 4.

Great food w really helpful staff. We had a number of perfect starters and a pair of solid mains. Sweet modern setting and w good timing you might even be able to see the bay! Yum!

We ordered take away! The sushi was fresh, the food was perfect temperature and it was all so tasty. The best Japanese we’ve had in a while.

Food presentation looks so nice
Cozy and relaxing setting outdoor perfect to enjoy a lovely meal in sunny day

Quality OK, but a complete ripoff.
$12 for an avocado roll no wider than a 10 cent piece!
