About the Business
Welcome to Harpoon Social Club, located at 36 High Street in Bendigo, Australia. Our establishment is a unique fusion of Japanese culture and the bustling ramen bars of Tokyo. Inspired by our nights spent in izakayas and days wandering the back streets of Shibuya, Ebisu, and Shimokitazawa, we have brought the essence of a Ramen Bar to Bendigo.
At Harpoon Social Club, noodles take center stage, accompanied by mouthwatering bao that will leave you craving for more. Our seasonal menu is designed for sharing, with a focus on fun and a wide range of vegan and gluten-free options. You'll find delightful nods to Korean, Chinese, and even Bangkok cuisine in our dishes, ensuring a culinary adventure that will impress even the most discerning food enthusiasts.
As a dedicated establishment, we are committed to introducing new flavors and dishes to Bendigo, offering you an opportunity to try something new and exciting. Whether you're planning a romantic date night or simply looking for a unique dining experience, Harpoon Social Club is the perfect venue. Leave the kids at home and indulge in our extensive gin list while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere.
We are open for dinner on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 5pm. For those who prefer to enjoy our delectable offerings in the comfort of their own home, we provide an abridged version of our menu for takeaway orders online. Please note that we do not accept takeaway orders in the restaurant itself.
While we do accept reservations, we encourage walk-ins whenever possible. Our reservation policy allows us to accommodate as many guests as possible while ensuring a smooth dining experience. We also prioritize the safety and well-being of our patrons, following all government recommendations and guidelines provided by the CHO. If you are experiencing any COVID-related symptoms or have tested positive in the last fortnight, we kindly request that you stay at home.
We pride ourselves on catering to the needs of vegans and coeliacs, with approximately 40% of our menu accessible without any omissions. However, please be aware that our dishes heavily feature Japanese ingredients such as soy and sesame. If you have any allergies to these ingredients or garlic, we kindly ask you to reconsider your visit, as we are unable to cater to these specific allergies.
Please note that due to limited space, we are unable to accept reservations for groups larger than eight. Our one large table comfortably seats eight individuals. We do not provide highchairs or have space for prams, but well-behaved children who love noodles are more than welcome. However, if you believe your little ones may disrupt our intimate venue, we kindly ask that you opt for takeaway instead.

Reviews
"The minced pork tantanmen I’ve had reminded me of the numerous tantanmens I’ve had in Japan! Crab cream croquette was 10/10 too! The only thing was the karaage was on a slightly too seasoned/ salty for my tastebuds but when eaten with the cabbage that it was served with, it was OK. Will come back for more☺️"
"Hands down the best food we've had in Aus. The flavours were something else. We went back twice to sample more of the menu! For the price, the quality was incredible and the portions are a decent size. Difficult to get a table though, so get there early. Highly recommend the mushroom ramen. The vegan chilli ramen was very spicy."
"The most delicious Japanese cuisine! This was my first time dining inside, previously only ordering takeaway. The service was quick and friendly. And the interior design is fun and quirky. It is extremely small and tight, so not the place to go for large groups. Perfect for couples or a few friends. There is a great selection of vegan and gluten free options, and a huge beer range! A great little place providing fresh and interesting food, always updating the menu too!"
"Be careful not to walk past or you will miss out on one of Bendigos hidden gems as this modern Japanese fusion restaurant serves amazing food at a reasonable price. The staff is really great, attentive and always good for a quick chat. Each of the dishes and drinks are exceptional in taste, flavour and presentation. Definitely a great place for a nice dinner when in Bendigo."
"AMAZING FOOD AMAZING VIBE AMAZING STAFF! Came all the way from Melbourne to try this out because the menu sounds so good. Got free mushroom ball that i wish was on the menu so i could order more (SO GOOD) THE karaage with gochujang glaze was also super delicious. Kind of reminds me of korean sweet and spicy chicken. For spice lovers, the tantanmen is not spicy enough and the chili flakes did not help to spicen it up. all in all i love this place!! would come back next time when i visit Bendigo."
