Peko Peko is tucked away in the business end of South Melbourne next to a small collection of take-aways, cafes, and sandwich shops. This place is bustling with people around lunch time so be sure to order in advance before you arrive otherwise you will wind up waiting for about 20 minutes. This is a nice place to sit down and unwind from the stresses of work. I can't say much for the food though.
You will pay 15-25$ per meal here and to tell you the truth it is way over priced for what it is. We ordered combination seafood noodles and ginger fish fillet on rice. The noodles looked like somebody popped open a pack of instant noodles and mixed it with some vegetables and prawns. The ginger fish did not taste ginger at all and was an extremely simple dish anybody can make at home. 
Half expecting for this dish to blow my mind instead I found myself staring at a clump of rice, a pile of vegetables, and a fish fillet served on the one and only soy sauce! Where is the ginger and couldn't the cook use something more imaginative for the sauce? This place should not advertise like you are about to taste genuine Japanese cuisine. I found the food to be simple, bland, and unimaginative hardly worth the 17$ I paid for it.
