Sushi Sushi looks like a fast food outlet but you'd be much better off dining in and savouring the…read moreflavours of their nigiri, inari and sushi. Their menu is by far the best at Garden City with some tasty options such as their scallop nigiri and peking duck sushi. Even the sushi rice tastes better here. I've been told there's quite an art to making sushi rice with trainee sushi chefs in Japan spending years just mastering the rice technique before moving onto toppings. Having sampled such a wide array of sushi rice I heartily believe this. For this higher quality sushi, you're looking at a starting price of $2.50 moving up to around $3.50 for their premium range. It's worth the splurge though at the end of a shopping trip.

Proving itself hugely popular interstate and abroad, Sushi Sushi is a relative newcomer to the…read moreQueensland raw fish scene. The Garden City store was only the second open in the state, but now a few more have followed (thank goodness). Still, in case you haven't cottoned on yet I feel it is my duty to inform you that this is the best takeaway sushi around. Not only is everything delicious, fresh and made from top quality ingredients, they have brown rice options, something I had never seen before. The taste is a little different of course, but it's still amazing and there's the added bonus of feeling even healthier with your meal choice. This is not a place that you'll come across overly Westernised versions of sushi, with mostly more traditional flavours available. The trendy design of the place really doesn't belong in an overcrowded shopping centre, but I'm certainly glad it's there.

When it comes to cheap and healthy fast food options, forget Subway. Try Top Sushi…read more This no fuss sushi chain keeps things original with their volcano rolls, sukiyaki beef rolls and their salmon and peach rolls. They also do a decent soft shell crab and of course, there are the old favourites such as teriyaki chicken and Californian rolls. Sushi prices on average are $2.20 although it can go up $2.50 if it contains fresh seafood. For something different, this Top Sushi at Garden City also offers steamed dumplings around lunch time. They also do a decent seaweed salad and sashimi packs. Its only let down is its cash only policy. Other than that, Top Sushi is tops.

As far as sushi counters go, this has got to be one of my favourite. There always seem to be too…read moremany servers behind the counter though but the good thing is, I've never had to wait. They've always had my favourite Fried Chicken sushi, if you ask they can add avocado as well. I've always really liked the Tempura Prawn sushi, and if you're not a big raw fish sushi fan like myself, they have a plethora of other options, even for vegetarians, like the vegetable sushi and the california roll, and the avocado rolls and so much more! Not many people know this, but they also have good miso soup. With actual tofu bits in yay!

Not even kidding but I have Oishi's phone number saved for ease of access to make reservations whenever my friends and family are craving good sushi. That's when you know it's a definite go to ! They don't mess around with silly western flavors or fusions - their menu is quite traditional Japanese. You can order sushi, noodles, side dishes, rice dishes here which is great if you're not feeling just sushi. They offer fresh sashimi and fried sushi rolls too which is so yummy. Had the udon noodles for the first time rather than just the sushi and I was so pleased it was so simple but executed well.

I'm a big fan because.. 1) This place has A&W Rootbeer (woohoo, go the asian in me) 2) This place has green tea ice cream 3) This place serves up a mean agedashi tofu (om nom nom nom) My weakness for agedashi tofu was realised here along with my weakness for the seaweed salad, potato salad and edamame. Oh the edamame. So much of it. In fact the Yakitori Chicken is pretty good too, so is most the stuff on the entree section of the menu. Damn this place! So our bill did come up to a whopping $80 for the 4 of us... but we left there feeling satisfied, feeling like we would come back and feeling like we wouldn't be sick the next day - which is always a good thing. Definetely going back there.

It took a while for Breadtop to reach Brisbane but judging from the number of these Asian style…read morebakeries popping up everywhere, it looks like it's here to stay. Hats off to the business owners of Breadtop Garden City, I honestly didn't think the Mt Gravatt demographic would suit the franchise. I wondered why they didn't open up at Sunnybank first (there is indeed now a Breadtop at Sunnybank). The Garden City Upper Level Breadtop was popular from day one. Their product range combine some extreme Asian sweet breads (salmon floss bun anyone?) with some western/ European style fruit tarts and gateaux. They're really smart about catering for everyone. They have now expanded to a lower level Bread Top with a smaller selection but still just as good. Even though their birthday cakes in the window look lovely, I draw the line at their cream puppy cake. How could anyone take a knife to it? Look at its adorable eyes. The strange thing is, every time I go to Breadtop, the puppy cakes are still in the window but I don't know if it's the same stock or it's been turned over. Are they being constantly purchased by someone with a puppy vendetta? Are they just realistic samples like those plastic sushis you see at Japanese restaurants? How long can a cream cake last otherwise? With this hanging over my head, I always eat at Breadtop with a slight feeling of unease.

Knowing it's my weakness, of course whenever I go to Japanese restaurants I always place an order. I'm glad to report there's nothing fishy with the sashimi at Sakura. The thicker than usual slices of salmon, tuna and white fish melted in my mouth. Their agadashi tofu also passed the test being crunchy on the outside with a silky soft centre and a refreshing, soy-based dipping sauce. Their standard fare such as the tempura, curry and teriyaki chicken was just average but as far as I'm concerned, their excellent sashimi makes up for this. Don't forget to try their green tea ice-cream. It's delicious even if it can cause insomnia if ordered too late in the evening.

(Sorry Sushi Train, I cant afford your $5.60 per plate aburi sushi x 2 lol) But yeah, this place can satisfy a lot of your Japanese cravings. They offer a variety of sushi train sushi, udon, ramen, sizzling platters, sashimi, mochi, cheesecake, sodas & Japanese alcohol. I ate here recently & their sashimi was fresh, their food was hot & fresh & the sushi ordered was 10/10 no faults. Everything is ordered by touch screen too. Yes staff are busy at times because this place is always packed. Expect lines at dinner time no doubt.

Generally is quite good, well flavoured, plenty of vegetables and a decent sized small bowl. Last week, it was the first thing I ordered. It came quite quickly, before my wife's first couple of aburi. Without a joke, there was about 1 centimetre of miso in the bottom of the bowl. It was incredulous. Taste was fine but about 5 spoonfuls finished it. Though I was ordering more, I cancelled them and left. A long term customer bringing the family on a regular basis, and they often go separately now, and that is what you get! Seriously, blame the server, the weather, whatever - it was a joke. Same big urn in the back right hand corner that it comes out of - how can someone serve such a paltry amount and think that is ok? Wife's was fine but I don't put up with absolutely disgraceful service like that. Was suggested to me to go tonight, but there is no way I am going back until I am sure they have picked up their game. Reminded me to highlight the poor service I received.
