This stylish Japanese BBQ seems incongruous to its suburban surroundings. The decor, menu and…read moreservice all seem to belong to an uppity city restaurant. Not that I'm complaining because where it's situated is convenient for me to get to plus there's easy parking. Shinbashi has a $35 all-you-can-eat Japanese BBQ which is always a popular option. I fyou go this route, make sure to try their fantastic wagyu and marble beef. However, my husband and I always splurge on their $99 Signature Selection for two. It includes these tasty additional extras like Bacon asparagus and Bacon rice cakes. There's also this buttery cheese, sweet potato dish which takes about twenty minutes to cook up on the BBQ but is worth the wait. The service here is great. They always remember to refill my green tea and there's this delicious complimentary soup which comes in a teapot that you can easily fill up on and ruin your dinner if you're not careful. If you live further afield, Shinbashi Yakiniku is definitely worth the drive out to Underwood.

Being a Japanese BBQ place you basically cook the meat on the hot plate in front of you and dip in delicious sauces before noming down. Staff are genuinely helpful. There's Japanese rice beer to match, though I didn't see how that was going to be consumed amongst the plethora of meats in front of me. Also good to know - the meat is delicious, because it is marbled with delicious fat. I went on a Tuesday night and it was packed. Defs popular amongst the locals.. Or those who know its there. So man up, make the drive, and give this place a go :)

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. The line outside becoming a steady flow and rotating as diners finished and new ramen hunters sat down. 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. For $11-$12, your bowl of broth is an affordable morsel of soul restoring food. Totemo oishii desu!

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.

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!
