Great place, great food and at a reasonable price. The owner is great, we have his personal mobile. He catered for my friends birthday and made it a special night. BYO too, he looked after her birthday cake and our alcohol for days before hand until the special night! Great local venue. Always busy, the aromas you can smell just by passing by. Speaks for itself xx
Delicious food and fantastic prices. Perfect place to eat with a group. I highly recommend the lime soy sauce steak.
Great food and service. We have worked and lived in Japan. Authentic food, fantastic!

Great place cheap quick beautiful food and great staff.
It would have to be the best restaurant on the Gold Coast the food is always 6 star and the price is just as good
No substitute, we really miss it when we haven't been for a while, ginger pork and the garlic butter steak are a must try, we all love it. Local superb quality friends family, it's easy to see why so many restaurants go out of business within a few months these days but Cha Chas has been going strong for many years!
Fantastic. Delicious food great service and atmosphere
Came in for lunch last week and ordered off the lunch menu. Value for money is awesome, $9.90 for a meal that can feed two! Just incredible. The service was great, the staff were very humble, soft spoken and kind and food tasted excellent. Will definitely go again.
Great food, great service, byo, reasonable prices ! We had a wonderful time and we definitely will be going again!! ❤
My absolute fav restaurant on the Gold Coast. The best Chilli prawns ever!!!!
Was super busy on a Saturday night guess it was cuz covid restrictions were just lifted. Service was very slow waited about an hour for our food some dishes were forgotten, however staff were very friendly and helpful
Good food and good service. Would recommend to anyone
This place was a awesome surprise pick, full restaraunt is always a good sign! Great tasty plates at exceptionally reasonable prices. Met owner and is also a exceptionally awesome guy. You must go here!!! particularly like the wasabi karage chicken and the gyoza sorry cant single it all out, we had heaps of dishes,it was all great.!!!!!!!!!!!
The foods here are absolutely tasty. Great place for a visit if you are looking forward for a delicious and affordable meal! Got a chance to meet the owner as well, they are absolutely humble and friendly.
We couldn’t decide what we wanted for dinner when we happened to walk past this restaurant. Usually when a place looks full of locals it’s a good sign so we decided to give it a go. We weren’t disappointed. Food was delicious, great value and service very timely. BYO is always a bonus. Would definitely go back when we next visit the Gold Coast!
Such a busy great vibe here. It took a while to get the waitress’ attention but it’s such a fun place to come with mates to eat reasonably priced and have BYO!
Food is good and reasonably priced, it's also BYO wine so that is always a plus too.
Lost of options but not many for the vegetarians but in saying that I was still able to eat here and enjoy it.
My husband and I decided to give this place a go when we came to Broadbeach for a holiday from Melbourne. We did not have a booking but got our table straight away which was amazing.
The tofu was too die for. We ordered one but then had to order two more as it was so delicious. For our main we both had steak. My husband chose black pepper when I chose butter garlic and we couldn’t fault anything about the dishes. The steak was done beautifully and staff was very helpful and friendly.
We would definitely return to this place the next time we are in Broadbeach
I just visited today night, Good food and service as well, little bit expensive
sukiyaki really like it i will definitely visit again soon
Thank you for good food
Very reasonably priced good quality Japanese. We got there at 9pm and they still took us in (although we were sort of rushed out at 10pm). Big variety on the menu and the food was all good quality. Nothing amazing but reliable food. Very popular and thus noisy on a Friday night.
Highly recommend the wasabi steak, the sauce is amazing! I have ordered medium rare and the colour f the steak looks fine. It's not very juicy and it's quite thin, but the wasabi sauce brings the steak to live. If you are looking for food adventure, this is the best option because it mixes the western food with Asian food!
Not recommend the tofu as the sauce are too much and the tofu were not crispy enough.
You know when you see Japanese people In a Japanese restaurant that it must be alright, and this was no exception , lots of tables crammed into a small space , however the food was impeccable along with the service , eat here if you want an authentic Japanese dining experience, garlic prawns a must have!!
Cheap and cheerful. Soft cell crabs a bit greasy. Wasabi scallops good. Chili prawns recommended by waiter but they came out so fast they must have been from a big pot. Ketchup prawns would have been a better description. However absolutely packed and raucous on a Tuesday night so they must be doing something right.
Visiting from Adelaide walking around the area waiting to feel the food vibe place looked perfect for us. Was given a table in the nick of time as it seemed to get really busy with that great pumping restaurant vibe which gets you really excited to try the food. Dumplings and spicy chicken amazing!!! BYO corkage incredibly...
Hole in the wall with seating, nothing classy (not that that's a bad thing!) Cheap. Quick. Big bowl, plenty of rice, crispy chicken, plenty of tasty oniony eggy sauce. Just what you want in a bowl of katsudon. I'd come back and try something else from the looks of what was coming out of the kitchen.
I prefer going here for lunch as the service is better when it's quiet. Dinner can be hectic and service lacking on extremely busy nights with food served at different times. Great that its BYO
Staff was friendly,got seat quickly n food came out in 10mins. We had sofe shell crab tempura, beef udon soup (hubby really love it), chicken kareaga with rice.The chicken was very crunchy &delicous & big serve too but it came with a small bowl of rice.so if u are a big eater may have to order extra rice.They could put a bit more effort into plating the food. Typical japanese are more "refined" when they serving their food.overall we enjoyed our meal...but it not somewhere i would take my visitor out for dinner .couldn't take any pics as my daughter was watching ABC kids ..again.
Cheap and yummy! This was my partners favourite japanese restuarant, we ordered katsu and karage chicken. The servings were large and it was so crispy, such an affordable meal. Throughly enjoyed it. The only thing was we visited on a Friday night, it got pretty rowdy.. But nevertheless, the food was on point!
If you are after some quick, cheap meal with friends before you go out, this place is just perfect. Food is just average but I admit that I have been here so many times, so something must be right. BYO anything is just too good to miss I guess!
Keep it up cha cha, you are loved by thousands of locals!
I'm not normally a big Japanese food eater but when I feel like it and want to have a nice night with friends, I know where to go. The atmosphere is pumping and the food is quite cheap. I also love that they allow you to byo.
Always good food, lovely owners, service has gotten a lot better over the years. Great value for money, especially their lunches, wish it opened a little bit earlier though for lunch
Have read negative reviews here but decided to go to this Surfers icon. It was fabulous casual dining. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food came out really quickly and tasted excellent. It had a very authentic Japanese casual dining feel. Highly recommended.
Hey folks, Came in here hu.... Hey folks,
Came in here hungry, left full as a bull in a china shop even tho it is Japanese lol. But seriously met up for a tinder date and wow such a good match. We had a blast and chemameee beans lol such a rofl.
Good food. Good atmosphere.. Service was great even though it was really busy. The food was tasty and was good value. The place is usually buzzing with business and is a great place for a night out.
Food good...service ATROCIOUS...rated it 'I like' as the purpose was to eat and the food was good but the service was almost comical. Chicken karage, beef tataki, spicy beef and salmon sushimi all very good and rivalling most Japanese restaurants in Melbourne...the service though was appalling. Couldn't get served in the first place...then when we did the request was not serviced. Food was delivered with no cutlery or plates and then when we asked for this it took another 5 minutes to come. Others diners were just as frustrated and very angry towards the waitresses. Service was comfortably the worst I have ever had or seen
Cha Cha is a amazing restaurant. I have been coming here for 20+ years. Seeing the business expand rapidly every year. This place is fantastic. The food is fresh, healthy + fast. Everything on the menu is delish!! Highly recommended!!
Great food with reasonable price. Cha Cha Jap restaurant is definitely one of the best restaurants on Gold Coast, they offer variety choice of dishes on the menu, their prices are reasonable, their dishes are delicious and never disappoint us, we especially enjoy the atmosphere of Cha Cha Jap restaurant ~ very friendly , I super recommended this restaurant.
Great atmosphere :). This place was a very nice change for Broadbeach ... THE PRICES WERE REASONABLE! ... I have been meaning to try it for a while and finally got there, i had wasabi scallops to start, very nice, and for mains i had black pepper steak ... wow, very nicely served and properly rare as ordered, the staff all smile and are friendly, i would definitely take friends :)
I LOVE this place! I've never taken anyone here who doesn't like it. Although don't go here if you are after a fancy restaurant. Yes the waitresses are hard to understand but you're at a Japanese restaurant what do you expect. BYO anything! And just yummy simple food for an AMAZING price. I always go here early about 530 to beat the rush.
Amazing Food was a small shop line for miles every night ! Now bought both sides and alley way at night so many mote people can go still a line usually haha food always to your table sooo quick after ordering even tho packed out! Free rice and refills!!
Must try teppan and teriyaki chicken!!!
& the kimchi side plate :)
P.s going their tonight haha :)
Cheap and cheerful well above average excellent value 4 appetizers , 2 entrees and 2 mains under $100
So cheap, so delicious! Make sure u book!! I have never eaten anything bad. It's is a very busy little restaurant with reasonably fast service & it's BYO!
Busy but worth it!. This place is great! Staff were friendly and we had the warm crispy chicken salad and it was delicious!! One of the most memorable places we ate at on our holiday.
Always a favorite of mine. Great value, byo and staff are very helpful. Great Jspanese.
Great food. Cheap yet very tasty food. We were pleasantly surprised.
What a little gem! I couldn't resist Okonomiyaki when I saw it on the menu & it didn't disappoint. The place was really buzzing for a Tuesday night in winter at the beach. In fact it was the only place full in the area (which has restaurants thick on the ground).
AMAZING!. The most delicious food at an amazing price! Their seafood especially is to die for and so so fresh!
I've been going to Cha Cha's for years!! The owner Jack even has my number saved on caller ID and greets me so warmly each time, we're really treated like family, like really!!
Never have we been disappointed, but it does book out quickly so make sure you book :)
Enjoy!! A+++
Authentic but accessible food. Probably the most authentic Japanese food I've ever had. Seriously good value for money and a lively, great atmosphere. The service is great - while you may not always understand each other they really do try to go out of their way to give you a good experience.
Very friendly and relaxed!! I always look for a restaurant that is full of people with a good vibe and Cha Cha's is certainly that! Very good value for money. Would definitely return if I were a local.
Some of the best japanese food on the gold coasr. Jack & the girls always make you feel welcome
We were pleasantly surprised at the large portion of food that came with the lunch set. The meat dish was quite large and both came with a large dollop of mayonnaise and mustard on the side which is great that it allows us to distribute the amount onto the salad and chicken to our liking.
What it lacks in dining finesse, Cha Cha makes up for with genuine friendly hospitality and honest affordable flavoursome Japanese food. It's a 'go to' place for many who want cheap and healthy food with BYO.
When deciding where to eat down at the coast, I tried to separate the good stuff from the hype. From what I read, Cha Cha is one of those unique eateries that locals flood into every night. Of all the reviews I read, the general consensus is that it's che
