The curry karaage ramen was outstanding: a rich, flavorful curry broth with chicken that was perfectly seasoned and fried crisp. The only letdown was the curry fries, which weren't golden or crunchy and could have used more seasoning. Ordering is simple--you place your order at the kiosk and are seated as tables free up. The process is efficient, and the staff are consistently polite and helpful. This spot strikes the perfect balance: delicious ramen, generous portions, and affordable prices. A must-visit when in Brisbane!

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!)

If you live local to the Cat & Fiddle Complex, Jako Japanese & Korean is one of those "perfectly…read morefine" spots to have in your take-away black book. Is it Japanese food that is going to blow your tastebuds out of the ball park? No. Is it cheap and cheerful? Yes. Lunch deals start at $8.90 and you can get a fairly decent 6pc sashimi platter for $6.90. It's all, as the three stars indicate, A-Ok. I'm yet to pay more than $20 for a lunch or dinner order that leaves you feeling satisfied. The staff are always friendly and there's usually a minimal 5-10minute wait for food. This is actually nothing to sneeze at given food seems to be prepared fresh to order. There's your standard sushi rolls, bento boxes and hot dishes like Chicken Karage Udon and Teriyaki beef. It's more Western-style Japanese or Korean than I'd like, but again, for such close proximity to my local area and affordability - who am I to complain.

Visited Miko's Bento today after a friend recommended it. And while the window menu is extensive,…read morefull of colourful, appetising pictures, the food was quite unspectacular. Orders were placed for an Unagi Bento Box and Dragon Roll. While the Bento did have a generous slab of Unagi and white rice, the rest of the items in the Bento were tepid at best...a very small mixed green salad with a Mayo dressing, two small, fried cabbage rolls, two small pieces of tuna sushi, a slice of orange cut in half, and Miso soup. The Dragon Roll was okay, but pretty ordinary, yet my partner who ordered it thought it was delicious...I tried a piece and wasn't of the same agreement. All nitpicking aside, Miko's Bento seems popular with the locals and is a busy location off Sherwood Road. But when you've had better, like at Koto Sanpo in the city, and pay a few dollars more, it's hard to find the value in Miko's offering...apart from not having to drive and find parking in the CBD. And one last thing. Those free chopsticks are too small for human hands. In fact, they're the shortest I've ever found at any Asian restaurant. Next order, try going up about 10cm. Thanks!

For a conveyor belt sushi place, they're packed at dinner and not quite as crazy at lunch (well, at…read moreleast a late lunch). The staff are efficient and friendly, ambiance is wood tones with the conveyor belt around the bar, but some separate booths too that I didn't recall seeing the conveyor belt pass by-- so touchscreen order only? Main thing was that the conveyor belt barely had any nigiri on it, almost all rolls, and many of the rolls were deep fried stuff like chicken tempura rolls or shrimp tempura rolls, so for most of the raw (or even seared) fish items you had to order off the old school resistive-screen-touch tablet at each seat. Which seems reasonable for freshness but also a seeming minus for the actual conveyor belt experience.

While visiting my aunt and uncle in Brisbane, they took us to Harajuku Gyoza for dinner on a…read moremidweek evening. Apparently it gets really crowded at dinner time on the weekends so we had a great experience with it being less busy. The servers were all cheerful, friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is bright and colorful with a strong cartoony Japanese theme. Not a place I'd recommend for an intimate date (it gets loud in there!), but more for a group of fun-loving friends and/or family. We ordered a couple rounds each of chicken, beef and vegetable gyoza. All were tasty, but I personally preferred the chicken gyoza over the rest. Make sure to get your gyoza grilled, not poached! We also ordered some agadashi tofu which - word of advice for anyone with a palate like myself and the rest of my party - comes garnished with "fish flakes" which I found to be pretty atrocious. Next time I'll request it without :-) The chicken teriyaki was just okay, and very different from the teriyaki we have in California. The steamed edamame was fresh. The Kirins were flowing so generously that I lost count (thanks, Uncle Ben!). Also, order sake. Just do it.

Cute! As I wanted to go the Hakataya around the corner, and my partner wanted to get gyoza, this was the compromise. So I ordered the newly added Tonkotsu Ramen ($12). It certainly is not up to the levels I'm used to. But does the job to supplement a tray or two of gyoza. The frozen beer slushie: It's novelty certainly does not outweigh the displeasure of drinking this thing. The ultimate beer crime.
