A good selection of fresh fish and seafood is available, and if you enjoy maki (and you should) then this place has probably the best selection of special sushi rolls on the Coast.

We popped in for lunch as we were craving for Japanese food and it was all delicious! My family of…read morefour ordered some chirashi, a sashimi lunch meal, a salmon avo rolls, and udon noodles. The sashimi was fairly generous slabs and fresh. The staffs were nice. The toilet is outside on the other end of the shops but most beach town places all seem to have shared toilets and at least it was clean. If you're looking for a decent Japanese place, this is a good one to go.

I wish I was able to try all the things on the menu so I will have to come back. The service was exceptional. The waitress went out of her way to make us green tea which was stellar. They also had many other varieties of items such as soups, smaller plates and other appetizers with fish and even some meat options like wagyu beef plates.

Beautiful restaurant, somewhat overpriced and pretty disappointing service…read more We were visiting with a group with a wide array of preferences, and while the restaurant did have options for everyone, I have to admit it was fairly overpriced for what we received. Drinks were attractive but weak for $30 apiece. Portions were small. Service was non-existent - noone checked on us once, refilled water, asked us if we wanted another drink, etc. We actually had to flag someone down twice for a check. What we did have was good but it was extremely expensive for what it was. We would not recommend.

Another 'special occasion dinner'; another degustation-style restaurant. We must have dined in…read moreabout 3 or 4 of these over the last half year, but a Japanese one had still been missing. Cue Sono. We loved the restaurant for the atmosphere and truly excellent service (personal, informative / knowledgeable, entertaining). We both ordered the 'tasting menu' with wine/sake pairing. For starters, the amount of alcohol in the pairing is really quite high (half full glasses x 6). Not sure that this was even possible, but I would have preferred less(!) alcohol (I guess we could have just let some of it go to waste, but that would be near sacrilegious). If you don't mind sipping from the same glass with your dinner partner, I'd recommend ordering just one wine/sake pairing (and save $45 in the process). Now, for the food. Some of it was really excellent (particularly the first half), but not all of it knocked our socks off. Definite highlights were the oyster in lime sauce (part of dish 1 - all of dish one was great really), salmon sashimi and snapper carpaccio in vinaigrette (part of 2), and the delicious crab meat croquette (part of 3). The fourth course had a delicious piece of seared salmon belly sushi, but the two pieces of cucumber sushi roll and one piece of prawn tempura roll felt a bit out of place in a menu like this. Maybe it was designed as light intermediate bite? Our mains were duck breast, which was ok but not special, and excellent Wagyu steak, but in a rather heavy sauce (too sweet imo). The desert was a chocolate cake, which was tasty, but not wow, and not spectacularly presented either, as you often get when splurging on a degustation. Wine/sake pairings were great. Service was excellent. Would be happy to eat here again some day and pick some of our favorites from this tasting menu.

The food is nice enough but nothing different to what you could cook at home. Still; the chef's are funny, you get the experience with plenty of laughs and spills. Plus compared to most Teppanyaki places around town it's quite cheap (thus the non fancy food) and its BYO. So really it's great value. Recommended, but go understanding your their for a fun time not a yum time.

We had the Bento Boxes (one with karaage chicken, the other with beef teriyaki) and were blown away. The food was fresh, clean and full of flavour. Service was quick and efficient and the menu gave so many options. Price? Very affordable and on par to every Sushi place - if not a bit cheaper. When we walked in there was one other person - within 5 minutes it was full with people waiting. Half restaurant/half take away, but the dining area is clean, colourful and very comfy. Long table outside with stools would be great on a warm summer's evening. (Oh, and it's BYO). This was a great find in Caboolture South/Morayfield and we hope the locals get behind them and indulge in their fine food. Worth the trip to go up there and try them out! We'll be back.
