A true 'hole in the wall' gem
Hidden in a covered pedestrian alleyway between Orchid Ave and Surfers Paradise Blvd Amimoto fits the classic definition of a 'hole in the wall' restaurant. And it delivers on that promise of inexpensive yet delicious eats.
I had the 'A' set plate of sushi - basically a deluxe nigiri platter - served with miso soup. The fish was fresh and delicious, the rice had good taste, temperature, and texture, and the 'other' toppings - tamago, prawn, scallop, flying fish roe, and salmon roe - were quite tasty as well. Water and tea (both iced and hot) are self serve as are the dining implements. And it's a 'pay at the counter after you've eaten' kind of place.
The hostess was kind and helpful...though the service mainly consisted of telling me what (and where) I should be doing on my own. The decor inside the restaurant was perfectly fine...though I would have found eating in the dark, low ceilinged 'alleyway' somewhat depressing.
My only complaint is that the miso soup was served at the same time as the sushi...and I don't know if that is how they normally do it or if it was because I entered just as the restaurant opened.
Goos service. We were the first table of the day at 11:30am. Good food and nice portion!
It's is authentic and nostalgic Japan in The heart of Gold Coast. If I live here, I'll definitely go to this place at least once per week! Like the vibe and the food, it's so delicate and tasty in a very harmony way!
The food was all nice !! Luckily we booked in advance as the place is quite crowded 😆
The Japanese curry was a little salty . The other food was good !
Great food . The location of the restaurant seems to be there for quite a while . It looks like it’s been here for quite some time as the shops is quite small . But I love the ambience of it .
It’s a hidden part in the Center of the surfers paradise
This place never disappoints! My mandatory lunch stop every time I’m down in Gold Coast! My favourite is the Uni Ikura Don. Brought many overseas friends here before and they always leave with a happy tummy and with a wow factor! :)
It takes quite long to be seated. And it also take ages to get foods ready. But the longer they make the better the food will be. The food was absolutely beautiful and tasty! Worth it? It is worthy!
This restaurant was tucked away and when we arrived we were a little taken back at how old school it looked. However looks can be deceiving and the actual food was delicious. We ordered a large chefs selection sashimi, set A sushi platter, chicken curry with rice and chicken katsu Don. These dishes came with miso soup, cucumbers/pickles and a salad. We also ordered three cans of aloe vera. The whole price of the meal and drinks was $85 which is incredibly cheap for what you get. We received a whole variety of fresh sashimi including scallops which was unique. Our set A sushi had all kinds of fresh seafood and is also worth trying. Overall generous and mouth watering dishes- especially the sashimi and set A sushi.
Customer service is a little lacking but the food and prices made up for it.
Authentic and yummy Japanese food, simple but good quality food, the venue is hidden in a small shopping strip and was very hot without aircon, with limited spaces, we decided to order takeaway but still very good.
Very delicious！Recommend Chirashi Sashimi set. Many kinds of sashimi and all foods are fresh. The restaurant is located in a lane but it deserves finding it.
Back to Amimoto, another fantastic meal with salmon, tuna sashimi with rice and miso soup. Every time I come back I always order the same meal never disappoints.
Super tasty and authentic Japanese food! Chirashi is so well presented, one of the best I've seen in Australia! Great hole in the wall type restaurant, we enjoyed our meal thoroughly😋😋
If you are expecting luxury fine dinning experience, please turn around. However, if you are looking for decent Japanese food at affordable prices, there is the right place for you. It also comes with great Japanese style table service. Highly recommended!!
Unpretentious, comforting, and delicious Japanese cooking. Off the bustling streets of Surfers Paradise, down a sketchy-looking alleyway, is this unassuming Japanese restaurant. Amimoto is a family favourite and I'd pick this place over many of the flashier fare in the area any day.
A small Japanese restaurant hidden away in an alley off the street. The food is fresh, delicious and good value for money. The Chirasi Don is the perfect bowl for a taste of an assortment of fresh fish and shellfish. The Ten Don is perfect for people who prefer cooked food. The highlight is the Uni Ikura Don which is a must have if it’s in season.

This is the most authentic Japanese establishment in Queensland. It is humble, unassuming and full of character. Fish is fresh, rice is well seasoned.
My only gripe is how they soaked tempura in udon with soup. They should serve it on a separate plate. Our tempura items became soggy really quickly.
I loved the chirashi bowl, it's great value with a very generous serving of fish and ikura! Yes IKURA! For some reason, Brisbane, doesn't have much ikura. If they do, it's usually not fresh, which is really sad.... so I was really happy to see ikura! Sushi set was quite value for money as well, portion size was decent. I'll definitely order the chirashi again!
We were really lucky, we arrived at 2pm and they wanted us to sit at the tables in the alley. Someone was smoking and when we told them about it, they quickly gave us a table inside.
Apparently, they were almost out of fish at 2pm! A testament to their popularity in Gold Coast! I hope they open a branch in Brisbane City! Japanese food in Brisbane are mostly run by people of other nationalities. Which isn't a good representation of proper Japanese food.
We felt like we were dining in Japan! We will gladly drive an hour for this again!
Amazing 3 fish Chirashi bowl !
Love that I can choose how much rice I eat with my « slab » of fish.
The fish was AMAZING. Odd looking little place to have the tastiest fish around.
Had to come back after 30min to have my to go order ready but it’s definitely worth it instead of going to them already made sushi places around.
Would definitely come back 🤩
