Meshiya is a Japanese restaurant in QV. It's a small restaurant located at the corner of the lane way next to Queen Victoria Women's Centre on Lonsdale Street. There aren't many tables in this restaurant but there is a huge stone table where customers can be seated around it.
For some reason, I haven't been visiting this restaurant since 1-2 years ago until recently when one of my colleagues suggested having lunch at Meshiya as they offer special lunch menu for only $10.
The $10 lunch menu is indeed a good deal. Basically, there's a list of don (dishes on rice) to choose from for only $10. And it comes with miso soup, salad and pickles. Besides that, there is another deal where you could get a plate of fried rice and gyoza for $10 too. It's worth mentioning that the $10 don offer is only available from 12pm-1pm while the $10 fried rice and gyoza offer is available from 12pm-3pm.
Well, I ordered a teriyaki salmon don. My expectation was a tiny slice of salmon being served for $10. To my surprise, there were actually 5 decent pieces of salmon in the salmon don. The salmon was cooked to perfection where it was lightly seared. Hence, it's tender and juicy. However, it's interesting to find some stir-fried bean sprouts with vege on top of the rice which was quite unusual for a Japanese don. Anyway, it was still tasty.
My colleague ordered a prawn tempura don and it came with 5 prawns too. The prawns were coated with crispy tempura batter and were adequately cooked.
The lunch offer is really a good value for money. I'll certainly visit Meshiya more often now.
