Kiyomi

Multi award-winning Japanese restaurant Kiyomi gained industry recognition just six months after opening – claiming a prestigious Chef’s Hat at the 2016 and 2017 Brisbane Times Good Food Guide Awards. With its cutting-edge Japanese fare and impressive dri

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!!

KooKoo Teppanyaki and Lounge Bar

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

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.

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.

We had a visitor from down south - Melbourne, and we always bring visitors here.Edgar is always welcoming and Gavin is usually our chef. The soup is hot and delicious, the salad has the most amazing dressing - would love to steal it. The meat is always cooked as requested. Sauces yummo. The show is entertaining, and the service from the girls is top notch. The chefs are artists with salt on the hot plate at the end of the meal. Just wait. It's amazing. It is licenced and BYO wine, which I love. For the price and variety I love visiting here for lunch.In fact, I have booked my sisters 50th in the next few weeks.

Four of us decided to dine here (bookings essential) on Saturday night. They have two set menus for two or more people. ($75 or $90 per person) They actually let two of us pick one set menu and the other two picked the other menu. The food was amazing and plenty of it. They also have a huge range of Japanese whiskies. Would definitely go again. Dear DIcksi,Thank you for sharing your review. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and I know the team will be thrilled to learn you had an amazing experience and enjoyed the famed omakase menu!
