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.

Two of my friends had never eaten Korean food before! I couldn't believe and went on a search to…read moretry to find the best place I could take them. Since I JUST moved to Brisbane, I had to rely on my fellow Yelpers. Thank you Yelpers for being there for me. I was also reassured when I walked in and it was ONLY Korean people customers. They only brought out 3 tiny dishes of sweet potato, pasta, and kimchi. I am used to a more varied selection of at least 6-8 mini dishes to start the meal off. The kimchi was fantastic though! I will give them that. I don't know if that's how they do here in Australia or just at this particular restaurant. Our meals came out in an appropriate amount of time. I ordered the Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap and it was pretty tasty. Not the best I have ever had but filled the craving. We also had the No. 22 with chicken and rice and spicy seafood soup. The ladies are now fans of Korean food! :) The water they served us was really nice and ice cold. The service will come to you if you need them but they won't really bother you. When you're ready to go, you just come to the counter and pay there. After going to eat here, my roommate and I discussed Korean food. She is a big fan and said that this is one of the top two places so yeah! Thanks Yelpers for making my first Korean experience in Australia a yelp worthy one.

Food was of a good quality and as shown on their website an assortment of salads, precooked dishes (really good) and great quality meats for your BBQ.

I am stoked that I ended up at Nom Nom! The beginning was a little rough. I'm not sure how I felt about the exchange with the lady that took my order. Let's just say I've had better service. I couldn't really decide on what to get; a couple of things caught my eye. In the end, I went with the spicy Korean wings. They took a while to get out, and the lady told me they would, but they were well worth the wait. They were tangy, messy, a little bit spicy (zip might be a better word) and delicious! The wings were gigantic. This is easily one of the fullest meals I've had in town. The wings reminded me of the fried wings you'd find in Korea. I'm sure that sounds like it would be obvious as the place was a Korean eatery, but not all places taste like the country they claim. These wings came with fries as well. The only thing I'd change, aside from the reception was probably less sour cream. A touch was nice, but there was a rather large glob of it and I had excess upon finishing the wings and fries. For anyone wanting to try, and you should, the wings are plenty to fill you up. I almost had to tap out.

Charcoal Korean BBQ We visited this restaurant as it was…read morehighly recommended by a Korean friend. We loved the feel of the restaurant with its ambient lighting and copper chimneys. There are other dishes to choose from but we selected the BBQ buffet.

My girlfriend and I were seated fast considering we were a walk in on a Friday night. Super big selection of meats to bbq, tradition Korean dishes and drink menu! Spoiled for choices here. - I do love Korean call bells on their tables especially when it's super busy and hard to get a hold of the staff - it's a nice spacious setting with in built grills in the tables The only thing that was slightly upsetting was the price range. It was already $40+ for two plates of meat without the sides and mains. You're looking at spending at least $60 pp if you're trying to get 2 plates of meat + side dishes. I've been to other Korean restaurants where you pay less and the quality is just as good so I guess I'm waiting for another opportunity for it to be impressive to me.

We paid for the base buffet with no drinks inc because we wanted to save our stomach space to try all the food choices. No regrets. It's not a flash buffet, but it is a great hang out place to eat good food with your friends. I'd recommend the takoyaki fries, the sweet and spicy Korean fried chicken and the buffalo fried chicken with blue cheese dipping sauce - I would eat all those 3 the whole night if I could. Too 3 faves for sure. It was good service plus the chicken always came out fresh, hot and super crispy. Love how they give gloves from all the chicken you eat too.
