Sushi Train Surfers Paradise

Reviewed By TanjungBaraDiver

The kids in particular like the style of the train. We were staying at the Trilogy Apartments nearby and ducked in here while we were waiting on our room.The service is good, the beer is gold and orders not on the train were made/cooked quickly. The sushi itself was fine, very fresh and made very well.It's a great location and despite being on the main drag not too noisy. Well worth a visit. They have a lot of other Japanese cuisine so don't be shy.

Wagyu-ya on chevron

Reviewed By JohnC043

The group was 8. We go out on a regular basis and chose a different style of eating each time. This choice was different and a good choice. The atmosphere was different but good. The service good and the food lovely. We were there for lunch therefore no BBQ available. I would certainly like to go at night for the BBQ.

Osaka Kaiten Sushi

Reviewed By NERoadWarrior53

Great menu sushi, traditional Japanese dishes. Service was prompt. Food portions were excellent. Good selection of speciality drinks. Prices were extremely reasonable - i wold call it lower than expected given it's location between the SkyTower and Voco hotel area. Cute take out on the side of the sushi bar on a revolving food train.

Tasty food that was expertly prepared in front of us. I would recommend the soft shell crab - which was an entree. There was only a party of two of us but staff included us on a table with others which was fine. Highly recommend.

Reviewed By 984natalies

After finding this restaurant down a little arcade we sat down to be greeted by two of the loveliest smiling waitresses. We ordered a number of yakitori’s and all were excellent (we went back for seconds on the chicken skin and pork belly and lotus chips), food was fantastic. Restaurant is byo wine only and a cooler bag is provided. Beer on tap and in bottles available. As we were about to leave one of the waitresses presented our daughter with two beautiful origami done with stunning traditional Japanese paper. Already planning our next visit.

Reviewed By angelacampbell2018

What an amazing night our group of 16 had at Kookoo Teppanyaki bar for my daughters 18th birthday dinner. The staff were lovely, the atmosphere is amazing, and the food is even better not to mention the $10 cocktails which we all loved. I Highly recommend the Fruit Tingle, Ice Cream Baileys, Pina Colada and The Long Weekend Cocktails. The price I paid for meals and drinks was crazy cheap considering we all walked out with full tummies and a little tipsy Would definitely recommend Kookoo for the dining experience and price

My partner and I decided to try this place based on their whisky selection, the magic Bar man had an extensive knowledge and was generous (except they ran out of watermelon foam for my cocktail lol) then we were taken to our table that has an exquisite Japanese ambience and the service was impeccable. We chose the set menu to have a try of everything and there wasn’t one part f the entire meal we could fault! The sashimi, the Yakitori skewers, even the Brussels sprouts were amazing but the highlight was the pork belly... that was a food experience we shall never forget!!Dear Tashajane5,Thank you for sharing your recent experience at Yamagen Japanese. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and we are pleased to hear you had an exquisite experience and we were able to create an unforgettale night for you.
