At least, ever since the Sushi Station and Egawa disappeared off the brink of Jindalee (owned by…read morethe same people) the people of centenary have long yearned for a good japanese place to get food. Sushi 79 recently opened its doors (November 2011) and it's a little shop with 2 small tables run by 3 friends who live in Richlands who have never owned a Japanese Restaurant before. They are Japanese for starters I thought this can't be bad. They cook everything fresh! They sauce everything authentic and when the food is ready (it's a 2 man kitchen so sometimes you will be waiting a while for your food) it tastes every bit authentic as if you were to go to a Japanese Restaurant in the city. The Yakisoba was really delightful, the vegies were cut delicately just like it should be, the sauce was not overpowering and the noodles were pretty cooked to perfection. The chicken was pre-marinated so tasted super good and it was so yummy my son and I finished it really quick. They also have seaweed, edamame, kyoza (gyoza?) and everything is spelt out for you on the board on the left when you enter. The prices for the entrees are really reasonable starting at $3 for the edamame. Along with the freshly made sushi, they have cool bento boxes as well with beef gyudon and chicken katsu, comes with a miso soup, salad and some dumplings with rice. Great value at $9-$11 depending on which one you want. It would be an idea to pre-order over the phone before you came here for food as they are only 2 men in a big kitchen and still nutting out what it is to handle a semi-busy crowd. I'm a big fan of this place, at last, some yummy Japanese in Jindalee! We've been waiting for a long time.

Most will come from the gym for a healthy quick snack. I tried the chicken katsu bento box which is excellent value for $12. Unfortunately my chicken was fried to a crisp (may have been an accident?!). Still I enjoyed the meal which was enough to satisfy me. I liked the addition of dumplings which really made this meal worth every dollar. The miso soup was tasty and included wakame and tofu as all miso soup should. My boyfriend slurped down a piping hot chicken udon which also had a miso soup base. For this reason it made it a bit bland and underwhelming. The soup was topped with flakes of seafood sticks and little fishball shapes. At $10 I sort of expected a bigger bowl too. Recommend a skip next time. I'm curious to try their ramen next time as well as their takoyaki.

Food made to order or grab from the train depending on your patience. We decided to wait for our sushi, when we received it not only did it look great the smell and flavor is perfect to taste. Favorite rolls would be aburi salmon with avocado seafood ship and aburi scallops. Besides from sushi rolls they also have Udon noodle, Katsu rice and miso soup. To make the experience even better was their quick service and friendly atmosphere. The restaurant always busy after 5pm however the quality of the food is worth the wait. Definitely will continue coming back.

I went to Tokyo express because we decided that we needed to stop eating at amazing places, and go…read moresomewhere average so we didn't over-eat. We chose this sushi place because of it's predecessor - Sushi Station. We were sorely disappointed. By which I mean, Tokyo Express has taken the place of one of the most lacklustre sushi venues south of the city and turned it into an amazing, unique and exciting sushi restaurant that stands out compared to all of it's competitors. The staff do the usual adorably loud greeting when you enter, and offer seating at a booth or at the train. We always opt for the train as it has consistently been magnificently stocked with some of the most exciting and inventive plates I've encountered in my quest for the perfect sushi.They offer water or green tea upon seating and at each table/section of the train they have pots of soy, fresh (mild) Wasabi and pickled ginger. Tokyo Express have all manner of weird and wonderful plates ranging from the classic seared fresh salmon to almond crumbed king prawns, octopus balls, caviare and scallop tarts, fresh Japanese and western deserts and pretty much any type of fun and funky sushi dish you could imagine. I couldn't recommend Tokyo Express more. They have been quiet each time we have dined there and I really hope to rectify this! 5/5 will continue to go back. A quick hint - if you're choosing something that looks like it should be hot, ask them to heat it. Until they get as busy as they need to be, some things won't be piping hot (IE Karage, salt/pepper squid, gyoza) and they're more than happy to re-heat.

My husband and I used to live really close but we have moved to the south side, and we still drive across the city to eat here. They have free green Tea and the wait for a table isn't too long, I'm not sure If management had changed but they used to do the second Tuesday and Wednesday of each month was every plate for $2! (they didn't serve the super fancy stuff on those nights but it was a great night out to eat till you pop!)

The staff was really…read morefriendly and welcoming (as is true Japanese restaurants), and was seated quickly during normal lunch hour. I guess it's one of the pluses of a sushi train - the turnover of customers of really high, so they get lots eating, and the wait isn't usually too long. I was feeling seafood, so I got the Baby Squid and Salmon Sashimi nigiri and the Softshell Crab, for a total of 14.5, which is I suppose decent for Brisbane. The squid and salmon were good, but I did notice the ornamented salmon plates were cut thinner, which I wanted to try but didn't think was worth it. Some of the nigiris (sushi boat) had different amounts of rice, and weren't that standardized, which bothered me a little, but I guess now I'm being nitpicky. The Softshell Crab was a little overfried and gave me a "fried" aftertaste, but it wasn't bad. I do prefer my crab with ponzu sauce rather than the one they provided, but no biggie. Overall, Sushi Train is a-ok, with the attentive waitresses making the experience better, but it wasn't as cheap as I had expected [expectations prompted by Urbanspoon]. There's really not much to complain about though!

I got all excited about having sushi at the sushi train when it first opened at Indooroopilly…read moreJunction. Sure there are other sushi bars out there, but in my opinion, the model of the 'Sushi Train Franchise' is the best one yet. They all seem to be owned by Japanese people... not Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Malaysian or Thai... (I'm yet to see an Indian sushi bar owner). Which in my experience makes it that much more authentic tasting. The one at Indooroopilly have $3 plates all day on certain days like their birthdays and other special occassions and it does tend to get really busy in there. The food is very fresh, I personally like their Agedashi Tofu additions and Chicken Karaage as well as the ever so popular Tuna Salad Boat and Chicken and Avocado sushi's. This franchise is really clean, it's really efficient and your food is always cooked the way you like it. It's funny how you can't really stuff up a good fried chicken (chicken karaage) but so many other places tend to... stuff it up. I like the fact the train doesn't break down and I love the fact they are so friendly and always willing to help you out. Definetely try this place out, if not for the sushi, for the noodle soups, or gyoza or other yummy things you can order straight from the menu. This is the same franchise that owns Top Noodle so if you have a VIP card, you get 1 point for every $10 you spend.. great discount because you can get discounts off your food quickly if you're a frequent customer like myself.

Service has been exceptional each time I eat here with water glasses being refilled regularly and helpful staff at every turn. It can be slightly more expensive than your bog-standard suburban train, but I'm willing to pay for the atmosphere and comfortable surrounds.

They have simplified their 'plate pricing' by only have 2 types of plates on the menu - all plates with coloured rings around the edges are $4.50, the patterned plates / premium items are $8.00. Wide selection of fresh made sushi rolls, nigri, entree items (gyoza, prawn parcels, chicken karaage bites etc), premium items, desserts and miso soup on the sushi train, but you can also order from the menu. Tried a mini tempura prawn udon bowl soup for $8.00 and it was awesome. Brown rice and black rice sushi rolls on the train and lots of vegetarian options. They have a little takeaway window at the front of the restaurant with sushi rolls for a quick takeaway lunch. The chefs work fast, and all items on the sushi train are fresh, fresh, fresh. Takeaway can be made to order. Great spot for lunch, nice ambiance and friendly staff. Just make sure you get in early to beat the lunch crowds! Takeaway and catering also available.

The fact that you can choose the type of rice you want - white or, for the health-freaks (like myself), brown rice. With an accompanying miso soup ($1.80) you are set for a healthy, cheap and let's face it; ridiculously tasty lunchtime feast.

You can tell them to cut up the rolls and they will put them on a fancy plate so you can go to the seated area to eat your sushi... and they do a variety of sushi platters for parties and functions.
