Beautifully decorated, nice service and we enjoyed every single item on the degustation menu. However we did think that the nigri sushi was just average and shouldn't have been included on the menu since we could just get that from any other sushi places. The only other thing I wasn't too happy about was the credit card surcharge of 1%, and when they gave us the bill they automatically included that with the assumption that I would pay with credit card. What about me wanting to pay with cash? Also a big place like that should just cover the fees instead of having to pass it to us customers. However we did enjoy the food very much, they were tasty, nicely plated with really fresh ingredients and some of the ingredients come from their own farm so that adds a nice touch to the meal. I would definitely come here again and would recommend anyone visiting Noosa to give this place a try, it's worth every penny.

Update: I finally decided to give Wasabi another try, and am awarding an extra star. This time…read morearound I decided to avoid the omakase set menu and just order a variety of dishes a la carte. This seems to be the better approach, and delivered a much more enjoyable experience that my first visit. Most of the food was quite good to near flawless, although the sauce that accompanied the sirloin steak was far too sweet (though putting some extra wasabi from the sushi rolls onto it balanced it out reasonably well). Real wasabi is available here, though you have to explicitly request it. And they'll accommodate requests for custom maki rolls. Or at least they did when I tried it. I still cannot say that Wasabi represents good value for money. But it's the only show in town for high-end Japanese cuisine. Stillwater was the closest thing Wasabi had to a worthy competitor, but unfortunately Stillwater shut its doors awhile ago. -- Original Review, 11/24/2012, 3 stars -- The short version is, the food here is good, but not good enough to justify the price. I dined here once for a special occasion, my wife and I both ordered the 9-course Omakase set. They scored some big hits with this (ahi sashimi that was as good as any I've ever had, and a sea scallop that was perfectly cooked and flavored) and some big misses (two other scallops in the same dish that were rubbery and gritty, other courses that were under-seasoned, overcooked, and generally not very memorable). The main problem that I have is that for $100+ per person, I expect perfection (or damn close to it), and they fell quite a bit short of that. Also, the way the Omakase menu is presented you're led to believe that the chef will choose a set of dishes for you specifically. It's even stated that you should note any particular likes and dislikes so that the chef can tailor something specifically to your tastes. I was super-excited by this prospect. The reality of the situation, however, is that everyone who orders the Omakase set is served exactly the same thing. From a logistical standpoint this makes sense (full restaurant, limited number of chefs), but it falls short of the expectation that was created. And as far as I can tell, none of my likes/dislikes (like: unagi, avocado, cucumber, dislike: uni) were factored in at all. Well okay, I wasn't served anything with uni in it, but then neither was anybody else in the restaurant. Given the hit-and-miss quality of my experience this place just isn't worth the high price of entry. Had they knocked every single course out of the park like they did with the ahi sashimi then the story might be different. But that's not what happened, at least not when I was there. It's unlikely that I'll return for a second try.

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.

Wow! This place has…read morea ton of potential, giving it 5 stars with the preface that it has places where it can improve. Meal Time: Lunch ~1:30pm Meals Tried: Chicken Katsu Curry (a Japanese style curry with crunchy breaded and fried chicken) BBQ Eel Nigiri Salmon Nigiri Tuna Nigiri Tamago Nigiri (a Japanese style semi sweet folded omelet served on top of a bed of rice in Nigiri style) Quality of ingredients: Excellent, the fish was very tender, fresh, and flavorful. The eel was extremely tender and slightly crispy from cooking (best BBQ eel I have had). The Chicken was labeled as free range and I believe them, great quality and cooked very very well. The rice was flavorful and pleasing. Quality of cooking: Great, the curry was very well done and a generous portion without loosing to much quality. Personally a smaller portion would be fine but the locals may have a different taste. The sushi was very good, well served and made. The Tamago was super tasty, loved it. The mayonnaise was very airy and mild, may be made in house, not sure. Critique: The chefs could find room for improvement in their sushi rice. It was not warm when served and could have been packed looser, the rice itself has potential but I would have been blown away instead of just impressed if the sushi was served on a finger warm, looser bed of rice. Readers do not be swayed by this critique you will love the place, and I am certain they will only improve with love :) Owners: Looked to be family owned husband-wife-daughter combo but I could be very wrong, when I was there the two women were in the back cooking up their magic while the man served tables (all very friendly). Experience: 9/10 super great would recommend, I am just traveling through so I am not sure I will ever be back but if I do find myself in the area again Miko sushi will be one of my first stops :) Price: As these things go it was very affordable, plenty of belly filling options and if your a sushi lover you wont be disappointing either. (could spend $20 if sushi buff, $14 if you just want to eat a delicious meal) Oh and its BYOB (beer spirits free ,2$ for wine, awesome!)
