A typical good Japanese restaurant. Not sparkling clean and shows the signs of popularity. Not cheap but quality. Eat inside or out.
Best Karaage chicken ever! Juicy on the inside the crunchy on the outside. The miso was fantastic as well, can't fault this place. Definitely one of the most authentic Japanese restaurants. Great staff, great food, will definitely be back again!
An amazing place if you are craving to have some amazing sushi. They provide one of the best. Also they have some amazing spider rolls. Must go.
If ever the good Japanese folk find the year round warm weather, sunshine and amazing beaches of the Gold Coast too much and want to migrate down to Melbourne, I'd welcome them with open arms for more places like this.
In the middle of Chinatown, this cool joint. The sashimi chirashi is pretty much a sushi bowl and I'm glad the rice used is pretty much the same for making sushi. Slightly vinegared white grains topped with beautifully fresh and tender slices of seafood... Extremely satisfying.
The wagyu don is good too. Expertly cooked to a blushing pink. The rice however could do without the Kewpie and less of the sweet soy mix through it to let the beef sing.
I'd go back for sure.
Amazing Japanese food! Love it!! Ordered a pork Katsu don and it’s amazing! Nice decorations and makes you feels like you’re in Japan! Would highly recommend! Thanks for the amazing meal!! This made my day!!
Maruya what a gem i stumbled upon a few years back. The food is epic and good value. Try any of the soft shell crab dishes or my favourite the bento box which comes with a good variety. Awesome vibes with sushi bar right in front and the decor takes you to japan. Even better its byo wine
Authentic Japanese food at a reasonable price. I was so excited after reading the menu I ordered food and drinks for myself that was enough to feed two. Sashimi was definitely a highlight which tastes super fresh and melted in my mouth. Also loved the peach and lychee flavoured alcohol.
Fav restaurant on the Gold Coast. Great food, great service and nice atmosphere.
The chicken teriyaki is perfect - no grisly chicken, rice cooked just right and delicious sauce.
Also try the chicken fillets on sizzling hotplate. Delicious.
The karrage octopus salad is special and tasty. The mixed sashimi sushi rice is not too much but it's fresh and yummy. The spider roll is yummy and creative. The staff are nice and always smile. Nice Japanese restaurant in south port.
Went here the other night with a few friends and had a great time. The most fought after items we ordered were the gyoza and the takoyaki, but everything was very good. The sushimi was fresh, sushi excellent and the seaweed was the best I've had. My friend and I got a little sozzled at the end of the night and had a wasabi battle and even the wasabi tasted better than normal. They lose half a point because they forgot about our table for a while.
P.s. The byo karaoke place across the road is worth a laugh and a few cringes.
My boyfriend’s favorite Japanese restaurant. We love their Wagyu steak! So good! 🤩
It’s an authentic Japanese place, very cute dine in area. I took some take out, but I will come back to eat there. Staff are very friendly! I recommend it as the food was yummy 😋
Second time here I sat in, it’s a great date spot and the food didn’t disappoint 😊😊
If you want to visit japan for the food but you haven't been able to, go here!! I would give 10 stars if I could. So cheap for the amount of food you get, my partner who is always still hungry after meals actually struggled to finish their bento box haha. Real flavours, high quality, and the decor inside makes you feel like you're in Japan! Can't wait to try everything on their menu
Fresh and quality food. Clean Place and friendly Staff.
Average taste and a bit over- priced.
Love this place, great vibe, cool staff, awesome decor and fantastic food.
Good food, very friendly, fast and efficient service. Definitely worth a visit
Tried the Bento and Cold Soba set as well as Takoyaki. Super delish and great service. Loved the environment too. Will definitely be back!
Came in for a meal with friends. A very unique and modern Japanese interior with friendly staff. The bento box meal came with rice, karage chicken (very crispy, delicious), a lot of salad, spring rolls (was swapped to salmon from a friend's meal) and crispy salty radish. While the meal was delicious, the price was a bit high ($19). The ambience though does make for a good night out with friends. Alcohol was also available.
