Check my tip below…read more I visited Australia for the first time this summer. I was at Pacific Fair just 3 weeks ago and I must say I was impressed with a couple of burger shops (Grill'd, and Betty's). The quality, the taste and the texture of the burger at Grill'd were simply perfect. I would recommend the truffle burger - you cannot go wrong with that especially if you like that strong truffle taste. It was divine!! I was singing with every bite! Try the delicious zucchini fries!! Please open a branch in Washington D.C. Till that day :) or till I return!

We loved the ambiance and the environment were we could enjoy the beautiful scenery and people watch while enjoying fresh, organic, food. We loved that the menu fit every person in the family including an amazing vegan burger that was a huge hit! Zucchini noodles for another meal that had. Amazing toppings. And flavors. The burgers were fresh meat and perfect flavor. We all LOVED the fries and the dink options. Iwould definitely recommend this restaurant and be prepared to have your tastebuds impressed.

We dropped in here for a little birthday celebration…read more The counter service was quick and friendly and we had no problem finding a table. We ordered pan fried pork gyoza, I ordered tonkotsu black with miso and thick noodle, my wife had tonkotsu spicy with the same soup and noodle. Food service was quick, the gyoza were delicious. The tonkotsu black was great , the soup was smooth and well balanced , the noodles cooked just right. The tonkotsu spicy was just the right level of spice for a noodle dish. Overall , a great tasty experience which we will go back to.

Delicious no-frills ramen shop…read more I walked up to this whole in the wall ramen shop a bit leery but the restaurant had a good crowd and so I went for it. Unwilling to rely on the quality of the broth I ordered my soup with spice - the Karaka-men (spicy pork noodle soup) with extra pork. All in all it was quite tasty. The pork had been allowed to dry out, but the noodles were good and the broth had just enough heat to make it interesting. Was it Tonkotsu ramen from Hakata Ippudo...no. Was it completely worth the trip into 'downtown' Surfers Paradise to satisfy a ramen craving...yes. It's a pay at the counter and take a number card kind of place so no service to speak of. The decor was fine. There are a few inside tables, a counter with stools, and some more tables outside in the shade.

My host family was visiting from Japan and wanted to eat seafood. We made a reservation on a Friday…read moreevening and when I called to try push it back, they were accommodating. This restaurant was part of the Marriott Hotel and is über classy! The minute you arrive, you are greeted and walk through part of the buffet. They position the seafood in the front for a reason. This buffet is clean and full of options. You can have seafood, meat, pizza, noodles, salad, etc. There is definitely something do everyone but the seafood is the standout. I ate crab, crab, and more crab. It was SO fresh!!!!!! I was so happy because it's been ages since I have had crab and it hit the spot. They also had scallops, oysters, prawns, and more! The only seafood missing was lobster but that's OK because the crab was outstanding. I also tried Moreton bay bugs for the first time and I was pleased. It was cooked with garlic and spices so the flavours were so nice. As if you couldn't fill up on the main course, they have a decadent dessert section that includes make your own ice, sundaes, and endless cake, tarts, and fresh fruit. My host family including my nine year old host sister loved the buffet. I think everyone can find something and the staff were super friendly. This isn't your typical buffet and I highly recommend it if you want to treat yourself or some special guests visiting.

I was wholeheartedly expecting this place to be in another spot by the looks of it on social media…read morebut this place was elite in an elite spot. When we made our way to Gold Coast we thought why not spoil ourselves at a buffet. This spot got near any Australian thing you can think of and then some for breakfast. Whether it's Ceres, yogurt and pastries or fruit with meat and carbs you got it here. The juice/coffee bar was a nice touch as well and we spent our time not piling on our plates and eating trying every one of their juices and coffee on offer. I do wish I had room for more pastry but we ran out of time. For the price of 50 aud I'd easily come back with the boiz for a nice breakfast. And definitely if we stay longer than the day try the dinner!

We visited for both breakfast and lunch. For breakfast, we ordered the BLAT, which is a bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato sandwich, which came with hash brown cakes. It was very good.

Some of the items were great like the calamari and the chicken wings, however the others did not impress me. They were very bland and could have definitely used some more seasoning.
