Pretty cheap - $1 corkage. Ordinary service. We were the only diners in the restaurant for an early dinner, yet still had to go to the bar to get our own wine glasses. Wanted to try a good sampling and ordered 8 hot entrees, which arrived at our table all at once. Ridiculous, there were only 2 of us, and I mean, 2 of us in the entire restaurant, so most got cold! Not terribly authentic, the only choice of Gyoza were deep fried.

We would not bother to return, too many other authentic reasonably priced Japanese restaurants on the Coast. I have heard you Must book in this restaurant, whilst we were there a couple booked a table for 8 at 7.30 that evening, without any problem. We were surprised as that would normally be impossible in most Must book places.

Great value, delish food. Excellent for a cheap Japanese meal that is high on quality. They could be charging alot more and the local's would still flock to this establishment.

We came across this little restaurant in Broadbeach and decided to try it. It looked very busy but we managed to get seats. The ambience was great and we loved the Beef Tataki entree. This place is popular for their steak dishes. Really worth it!

Great food but, unfortunately, the service let us down. It was a busy night and they were obviously understaffed. They were very rude. My partner wanted to leave. We ordered entrees and mains, but it all came out at once, it couldn't all fit on the table but they insisted on putting it all on, in the process the waitress tipped over one of our dishes off the table, because, it wouldn't fit!

Food was pretty good. However, the let down was the prawn and vegetable tempura. Prawns fantastic but all we got as vege tempura was clumps of fried onion, we were hoping to feed our 1 year old on the vege tempura so we were then stuck with no food as it is usually sweet potato, pumpkin, beans etc! This happened to be the 'dropped' dish so not sure if the second serve was inferior.
We are from Sydney so it is a shame that we found a great little food gem, but the shocking service lets the place down.

Very reasonably priced good Japanese food. A great place for casual group functions. Cost for BYO was very, very cheap, very popular with locals. Noisy and crowded but worth it. Booking is a must.
