Eventually arranged the time to have dinner at this sibling of the Longtime. Since it has been trading in 2018, reputation is good.
The same as the Longtime, this contemporary Japanese restaurant located with a low profile entrance. However, it will give you a surprise when you arrived the main dining area.
The whole restaurant was done up with black color as the main theme. Dinning area is composed with three different sections of food and beverage production. Lay-out embedded with clever innovation.
We ordered the $65 Omakase, which provides ten different courses.
Although the raw materials are not high-end produces, the chefs cleverly present them with well balanced taste and nice presentation.
Heroes are the tuna drumsticks and the smoked chicken skewers. The former deserves the appreciation due to the presentation with diced tuna and avocado filled in a black color waffle cone. The latter is due to the taste and tenderized of the chicken breast. If you only eat the wagyu short rib only, it may be too filling. However, if you take the English mustard to go with the salad that was mixed up with avocado and wasabi, you will find that this combination is so amazing.
The exciting news here is the availability of the “Monkey” Jin. I remember the first time to have it was the dinner at the Gaggan of Bangkok. It just makes the whole dinner up to another level.
👍😋👍
Food was consistently amazing! We had grilled greens, shiitake dumplings, lobster sandwhich, smoked chicken skewers and the highlight was the rib. Omggg.. service was also top notch
Ever since opening, I had been keen to check out Honto, the Japanese sibling restaurant of well established favourite Longtime, which has since relocated and rebranded as sAme sAme. A short while ago we decided to finally check it out at the end of the week just because we couldn't come up with an excuse and wanted to anyway. Extremely well hidden in the small alleyway that is Alden Street in the Valley, it is definitely easy to miss if you didn't know what you were looking for.
Fantastic service by Paris. Loved fusion Japanese food!
Went there for my birthday dinner. Very classy restaurant. The service was great, the waiters were very accommodating in providing enough servings for our table, filling our water and checking in on us. Every single dish we ordered was unique delicious, my favourite were the scallops. They do seafood very well.
Beautiful atmosphere, and food was impeccable. Staff very friendly. Highly recommend
Sometimes you see five star ratings and immediately go “it can’t be that great”. But it was. It was a fantastic experience with friendly wait staff who didn’t even judge when I wasn’t sure what a dish was or how to tackle it. The manager himself was very receptive to feedback and made me feel heard. Most importantly, the food was delicious. It was perfected balanced for the palette. I went with the banquet option and in my opinion, despite a few weak dishes, it was worth every cent. The hôntô drumstick, Lobster katsu sando, and whole snapper karaage are a must have.
Moody and ambient with quality food executed well. I had the Wagyu tartare with lotus chips and the lobster katsu sando which were both enjoyable, albeit forgettable. The location behind the Wickham and next to its bins doesn't make for a fantastic entrance but I'm guessing they are playing the whole basement restaurant theme adding to the cool vibe of the place. My friends ordered the Wagyu main which looked delicious and the iconic tuna nori cones which were a hit. I think Honto is worth a revisit and will remain a fixture for the fashionable set for a while.
Recently dined at Honto after its no.1 rating in the recent top 100 tasty restaurants in Brisbane. The well hidden entrance behind the Wickham Hotel was a little daunting. Once inside the ambiance is quite pleasing. We started with the Aburi Scallops and they were delish, followed by the Mooloolaba King Prawns ( only 2 per plate so seemed overpriced) but once again very well cooked as I like them slightly above translucent, then onto the Roast pork belly which in contrast to the prawns was a very generous portion and cooked beautifully ( the pork however was upstaged by the Devine compressed watermelon side dish- awesome).
Overall a very pleasurable experience and will def be back but not sure how it popped longtime in the top 100
I have been twice now, and I love this place. Had the set menu twice and loved everything save the Brussel sprouts. Service is perfect, drinks are strong. Tyron produces another win !
Hidden in Valley this restaurant will surprise you. The ambience is nice and casual chic, a bit darker which makes everything look interesting.
The service is friendly and attentive.
The food was great we really enjoyed every single dish👍
Well done guys!!
We had a really good night. The only stink thing was we arrived an hour early to have drinks at the bar before our reservation and it was closed. They didn't say why, but it would have been good to know the bar was closed before we got there.
Other than that everything was great. We had a seat at the counter and could watch the chefs work their magic.
The food was delicious. My favourites were the croquettes and the sushi.
The wine list was good and I was pleased to see they had some interesting wines BTG.
I was surprised the price to dine there wasn't crazy expensive. It was just over $200 for the two of us which included wine and we had to doggy bag the last meal as we were so full.
We will definitely be back.
Just remember to ask if the bar will be open before you make any plans to go there early for a pre-drink.
Amazing experience, great Japanese flavours with modern twists on the food. It was fresh, rich and memorable all around. The staff were relaxed, friendly and it had a great atmosphere.
A lovely experience dining with a scrumptious meal of Japanese cuisine. The sashimi were very fresh and we love the soya sauce. One of our favourite dish was the prawn roll, it was so delicious that we ate within 5 minutes. The cocktail is also tasty. The ambiance is welcoming, though it can be noisy as this place is popular. It's a must to book for this restaurant as it gets full very quickly
Excellent service, very nice modern take on Japanese food. Loved the open kitchens. Chefs choice menu was a great way to experience dishes
Ruby out server was very nice and helpful the whole time.
Only downside is its very dark inside so you may need abit more light to read the menus.

Best Japanese fusion spot in Brisbane - hands down.
The decor and ambiance felt like you were swept away into another city such as New York, or Tokyo itself. It's dimly lit, with candles and music. The air is alive with voices and energy.
The staff were so friendly and helpful with the menu too!
We ordered the banquet menu and added oysters.
The oysters were some of the best I'd had! Flavours were divine.
We had the coral trout, prawn tacos, potato crisp, chicken karaage burger, green peppers, pork gyoza, sashimi and then for dessert, toasted rice cake.
Honestly, everything was exceptional.
The prawn tacos were divine and crunchy.
The potato crisp was a nice twist and definite surprise!
The beef tartare with the lemon cream was truly mouth watering.
The chicken karaage burger was the best karaage I've had. It was crispy without being chewy.
The dessert was the biggest surprise! So light and tasty, bouncy in the mouth and full of flavour. It was tempting to almost order another!
We paired the meal with some prosecco and sake to top it all off.
Cannot wait to go back! New favourite Japanese joint in town.
I ordered banquet for two. Every dishes are very nice and fresh. I really loved it and my friend is also happy for foods. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere:)
Wonderful experience. The food was delicious, service was great. Couldn't fault a thing.
Notable mentions are the Coral trout with ginger, the corn and peach skewers.
