Tempura was amazing and we were given a lot on each of the dinner combos. Miso soup and side salads were good and fitting. Spicy BBQ pork was flavorful, though not very spicy (which isn't a big deal). Only small complaint was the over abundance of onion included with the spicy BBQ pork, but overall not a problem. Would definitely recommend this place to others!

If you come around 8pm, you likely won't have to wait long since the dinner rush tends to slow down by then. Some of the best seats are near the entrance where you can watch the sushi chefs preparing the food. When we arrived, the staff brought complimentary edamame for the table while we looked over the menu. I appreciate when edamame isn't overloaded with salt, and they did a great job keeping it simple and flavorful. I love spicy food, so my friend and I split the spicy tuna roll, the hot girl roll, and the baked scallop roll. Each one was delicious, but the hot girl roll was my favorite. It's topped with spicy tuna and jalapeños and had the perfect kick. The baked scallop roll came out hot and gooey, covered in a sweet garlic sauce that paired really well with the scallops. The restaurant is also vegetarian-friendly, which is one of the reasons we chose it. My partner ordered the avocado maki, veggie dragon roll, and the futo maki. His favorite was the veggie dragon roll, which includes avocado and eggplant. The futo maki wasn't as much of a hit for him, but that may just be because he's not a big fan of radish. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place for the quality of the food and the welcoming service. It's located in a small shopping center with its own parking lot, which is a big plus since you don't have to worry about finding street parking.

It's definitely a popular spot on the weekends as we had to wait a bit each time before a table became free for us. There's a bit of outdoor seating, but hey.. Brisbane gets cold and foggy at night, but if you have a four legged friend with you, that's the proper way to go.. We come here as a party of six a couple of times now. The service and food quality was consistently good with attentive friendly prompt service both times. Busy sushi counter with three sushi chefs slicing and dicing away! Highlights here for me were the big thick super fresh pieces of sushi (Toro, Salmon and Albacore), and the Tonkatsu Pork Curry Rice. Though the menu seems vast, I didn't really encounter anything that I didn't enjoy. The Dragon and "Heart Attack" rolls were perfect. Everything was just on point or better. Well... wait.. I didn't think the Sushi Tacos were that great, as they were unexpectedly spicy and fall apart rather easily. Eh.. I'll master that maybe next time. Lots of angled parking out in front. I wouldn't mind coming back here anytime. It's a bustling busy place in otherwise sleepy Brisbane!

We were given an Unagi Musubi without the avocado, and one bacon, spam and egg musbi was missing entirely. Luckily, since we were still there, we were able to get it sorted out quickly. Definitely recommend checking your bag before you leave! Also, a small note on the Spam Musubi with Avocado: it tasted great, but the avocado had already turned black. It would be a huge improvement if these were made fresh to order to keep the avocado fresh. Great flavors overall, just keep an eye on your order details!

I really loved our seat as we could people watch. The service was really great and everything we ordered was so delicious! Their sister restaurant Tadaima is great so I knew this place wouldn't disappoint. Ordered the 12 piece nigiri tasting. The server explained what each nigiri was and I honestly enjoyed every single one. My friend has a shellfish allergy and they were super accommodating and switched out certain nigiris for her. The fish was so fresh and melted in my mouth. I highly recommend getting the tasting to try out different pieces. We also ordered the snow mountain roll which included white tuna. I also enjoyed this role. Everything paired really well together. The Gyoza was also tastier than I was expecting. Super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The koueigiku sake paired so well with all the food. Super smooth, sweet and went down easily. It was $24 per glass, which was on the pricier side but worth it.

Solid restaurant! Entrees and noodles are tasty, albeit a bit underwhelming. Appetizers shine…read morethough! Service is excellent. Ambiance is quite nice. Food (7.5/10) - The most important factor to determining my rating of a restaurant of the food. Let's start with the positives... can we just talk about the appetizers? Probably some of the BEST fried calamari I've ever had (and I do enjoy my fair share of fried calamari). It was crispy but still had a nice chew. They also had a nice deep-fried garlic base witha. little bit of sweetness which you could add on top of the calamari for a zing of sweetness and deep umami flavor. The ranch paired great with it, adding an additional layer of creamy tang that helped cut through the fat if the fried taste becomes too overwhelming. Absolutely ABSOLUTELY must order the calamari. The karaage was also amazing! The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The mayo added an extra layer of creamy richness. Minus slight points for the lemon. I'm usually a fan of the lemon on the side but this one had a slightly bitter and acidic aftertaste when added onto the chicken. One additional comment I'll make is that it definitely seems like they switch out their oil frequently or keep cross contamination to a minimum! There is none of that leftover, greasy flavor or that co-mingled taste that you get when you fry everything with the same oil. Now, onto the noodles. To preface this, I won't say that the noodles were necessarily bad; they still tasted decent. BUT for the cost, I expected something a little more. Let's start with the ramen. The ramen itself was pulled a bit too thin which led to a super thin noodle texture that ended up being too mushy to chew. In my personal opinion, ramen is meant to have a chewy, al dente texture to give you that slurp-able mouthfeel but this one just chewed through like mush. Additionally, the broth was super heavy and dense. While you want a broth that's packed with umami flavor, this broth was definitely overdone. Whether it be the result of too many bones (releases a lot of collagen and thickens your broth) or maybe improper rinsing, there was a slightly pungent smell associated with the first "boil" of bones. It sits on your tongue in a weird way. With that being said, the broth still had a nice taste on your palette initially; just wish it was slightly clearer. Additional comment on the chicken ramen.. chicken is WAY overpeppered. The pepper flavor is like a smack to the jugular and it washes away any of that delicate flavor of the broth. Lastly, onto the tsukumen, which is meant to be the famous product of the restaurant and the main reason why I came. Honestly, it's pretty good BUT you have to eat it the right way. Let's go down the recommendation on the menu: eat it alone. Personal opinion, do NOT do this. The noodles taste like nothing and while I understand it's "for the texture" you're just chewing through flavorless dough at that point. Dipping the noodles in the broth is definitely a nice way to add some flavor and it's very enjoyable how the broth clings to the noodles. However, the broth feels very one-note. It's all around just a super salty flavor with nothing to particularly write home about. Adding the chili is WHERE IT'S AT. Adding that additional kick and slightly spicy flavor helps you balance the thickness and richness of the sauce-broth. Delicious! The main comment I have for the food as a whole is that it is just heavy course on heavy course. Price (7/10) - Price is okay. Apps were fairly priced (about $12 each) but the noodles were TOO expensive in my opinion. $21 for the ramen is kind of egregious; could find elsewhere. Tsukumen was fine. Service (9/10) - Service is excellent here. Staff is attentive and (whom I presume is the manager) has timing down to a tee. Cleared the table immediately after appetizers were finished and brought out entrees almost instantly. Wow, is he efficient. Also, I did catch another table sit down, order, step out to use the restroom and by the time they had returned, there was already food in front of them. Peak efficiency! **Recommendation: Join the Yelp Waitlist before coming! There can be a bit of a wait (make sure you check) so if you want immediate seating, put your name down. Ambiance (8/10) - Honestly just a chill restaurant vibe. The "bar" seating was quite nice but not exactly a fan of how you just stare into the kitchen. It just feels weird every time you look up you see a metal pan (it's not even like they're tossing the noodles in front of nor is there a bar). Also, the bathrooms are kind of eerily dark for some reason. I liked their tables though! Nice dark wood LOL. Honestly, ambiance doesn't affect the review that much but just thought I'd comment on some things I noticed. Overall, good restaurant that I would definitely come back to for the appetizers and maybe for a tsukumen (with new method unlocked). Would avoid the ramen. Would recommend!
