We came here for dinner twice whilst staying at the resort. The food, service and atmosphere were incredible. We booked Teppanyaki for the second night, and would highly recommend doing so - what an experience. We chose the 'Akane' set menu - highlights were the chicken thigh (perfectly cooked), and the pumpkin miso custard. We don't eat rice, so they happily allowed us to swap our fried rice for edamame. The chef was very friendly and skilled, and our waitress was wonderful. The food was out of this world. Will definitely be back. Thank you!Dear TheSaucies, Thank you for your great review! We are so pleased to hear you loved your dining experience at Arakawa you decided to dine again during your stay! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon for another incredible dinner. Kind Regards, The Arakawa Team.

I went to Kiyomi with my mum as her early birthday dinner. I have been to Kiyomi twice now and both times have been amazing!! The sashimi and all of the seafood are so fresh and absolutely delicious. The service is so good as well, full of friendly faces :) My mum and I decided to get a 16 piece sashimi plate and wow it was so good. My personal favourite was the octopus and watermelon, that was the best thing I have ever eaten. The setup of the restaurant gives such a good vibe! It may be expensive but it is definitely the place to go if you want to treat yourself and your loved ones. I loved it!!

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 wasnât 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. We hope to welcome you back to Yamagen Japanese again for yet another fantastic experience.Thank you and regards,Yamagen Japanese

First time for two of us here and we were so glad of the suggestion from our friends.The small restaurant has a great vibe, and even on a Tuesday night was packed and no wonder why.The food, service and ambiance was excellent. The menu is well crafted with something for everyone.Our only problem was not picking too many choices but the excellent waiter explained the dishes with suggestions for the four of us.And speaking of the staff despite how busy they were they still managed to attend to us and everyone around us quickly and with a smile. Their attention to detail was also noted.The kitchen puts a modern spin on Vietnamese cooking, the finished dishes all beautifully presented and gratefully devoured.The drink list is also excellent, the bartender kept busy mixing some beautiful cocktails, while the wine list has a great range, many wines being available by the glass giving us the ability to try different varietals.The crispy spring rolls are mentioned by other reviewers and I have to agree they were yum!All in all I will have to come here again, well done Jimmy Wahâs.

Went to celebrate my birthday. We had a friendly greeting from Karin, our hostess. Started with Onion Rings and marinated Olves. Best Onion rings ever. Very tasty olives.Then we had the Stuffed Zuccini Flowers, Fish Hot Pot, Whiting Fillets & Pork Belly. Everything was sensational. We each had a cocktail but unfortunately they were all far too sweet. The Pinot Grigio was excellent. To finish I got a surprise birthday desert of Chocolate mud cake and creme brulee. Great decor and ambience, good music - not too loud! Overall an excellent experience!Hello Andre, We are happy to have you here. Thank you for choosing Willow Dining to spend your Birthday.And thank also for giving us such a lovely reviews.

2. Iyara thai

Reviewed By sandilong1511
On a recent trip to the Gold Coast we scoped out Tripadvisor for a quality Thai restaurant. We chose Iyara based on the positive revues. The service is first class, cannot fault the service and not just from a single staff member, the service standard was high quality from all staff. But the food was disappointing. An entree of fried coconut prawns was not good. No flavour at all and almost tasteless. The main was not much better. The protein appeared to be cooked either before or after the source, it just had no flavour. but the sauce had banging flavour. It was great but it just didn't blend with the rest of the dish. It was a disappointing dinner experience. The flavour was certainly there in the sauces in the mains were very good, as was the service, but the food was a Flavour miss.

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
