We shared pork gyoza, dim sims, agedashi tofu, mixed sashimi and a few sushi rolls (salmon and avocado, soft shell crab, and tuna salad with grilled eel). We didn't enjoy the gyoza or the dim sims - they weren't the same quality as the rest of the meal. The tofu, sashimi and sushi rolls were delicious - but we thought that the fresh sashimi was the star!! The service is friendly, the prices are reasonable and BYO is a plus.

You go to the counter to order and pay but they bring it out to you. I had to ask for wasabi and ginger. But this roll was sooooo good that I was happy!!

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.

With sushi rolls like the 'Dragon Roll' and the 'Spider Roll' you can't help but wonder, mmm yummy…read more So this Japanese joint is a little pricey, but the sushi's are pretty big, and made fresh by the guys wearing the chef hats behind the counter. 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.

This could be the most authentic ramen I've tasted this side of Tokyo. Seating perhaps only 15-20…read morediners at any time, Genkotsu has that Tokyo backstreet ramen restaurant vibe and the dishes to back it up. We arrived as a party of four on a Saturday evening, a public holiday to boot, and were only just able to be seated at the bar seats overlooking the kitchen.

There's a sign on the door that sets the expectation of a potential wait outside while seats become available. Ordering your ramen happens as soon as you enter so make sure you've taken a look at the menu before entering. There's several styles of ramen including salt or miso.

Japanese of this quality in a suburban shopping centre? Yeah, I had that thought too. But, Motto…read moreMotto has one of Brisbane's best restauranteurs (think of names like Sono) behind it and it shows. In fact, the road to Motto Motto finally opening the door was about three years in the making and the care & dedication to make sure the final result was of the highest quality is evident in everything from the branding to the food. Nestled just outside of the main shopping centre at Garden City in the new dining precinct, Motto Motto is easily spotted by its Kelly green walls and origami geometric shapes. The menu tends towards a mix of traditional and westernised Japanese but all falls into the "something for everyone" category. The menu is designed to be a make your own bento to the extent that the ceramics were made especially for Motto Motto and to be joined together. There's small sides, ramen or Japanese rolls. My favourite is the chirashi rice bowl. A ample bowl of rice with raw sashimi, salmon roe and a scattering of spinach. For under $15 it's a champion dish that will leave you satisfied and not wanting more. It does tend to get a little busy during peak times so eye off your table and take it fast!

Motto Motto offers a range of well-loved food Japanese favourites such as noodle & rice bowls that go above and beyond the typical food court sushi & miso soup. As a vego I'm obsessed with their potato salad roll. Yes, it is exactly like it sounds and it's awesome but there is plenty on offer for those of you who are carnivorously inclined. Also don't go past the seaweed sprinkled fries. Somehow the way that Japanese do fries is far superior to everyone else and they come with Kwepi mayo! Don't forget to check out the drink menu - alongside the familiar there are some Japanese sodas and cocktails you might want to try out.

Try the ever tasty Hakataya Ramen they said. And boy were they right. I went on my merry Yelp way…read morewith a fellow Brisbane Yelper Marianna S to experience what this newly opened shop had to offer. Marianna got the classic ramen and I got the char siu ramen (just has more meat in it) and for the $10 and $13 dollars we spent respectively, and what we received in return was nothing short of a taste sensation. The noodles so fresh, the soup in all its brothy goodness and the meat... that just melted away in our mouths. How? What? Where? Why? Wow. The ever so friendly and boisterous staff were friendly, courteous and very welcoming. They showed us the menu in their plain as day Japanese English to the best of their ability and opened their arms to shout that we were welcome and to please come in. COME IN! The shop itself is quite small but there is an outside seating area as well. I also ordered the Gyoza and it was both fresh, hot off the grill and ever so tasty. One thing about Hakataya, if you want another serve of noodles it's absolutely free on one condition. You must yell 'KAEDAMA' in order to get it as the staff laughed and told us. KAEDAMA I yelled and another fresh ramen noodle was on its way. They give you a little saucer of spicy preserved vegies to go with your soup (Marianna ate mine) as a side and did I mention they are so friendly? As Marianna pointed out 'they are actually talking to us! They don't talk at the other place!' (other place being the Hakataya across the road in Sunnybank Plaza owned by the same people). Super great and fresh tasting Ramen, easily the best Char Siu you will ever eat. KAEDAMA!
