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.

Hidden away in Underwood near the Big Gun butcher, lives this Japanese BBQ place; Shinbashi. All…read moreyou can eat or a la carte (I recommend the latter), you won't leave empty stomached. 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 :)

We had the Bento Boxes (one with karaage chicken, the other with beef teriyaki) and were blown away. The food was fresh, clean and full of flavour. Service was quick and efficient and the menu gave so many options. Price? Very affordable and on par to every Sushi place - if not a bit cheaper. When we walked in there was one other person - within 5 minutes it was full with people waiting. Half restaurant/half take away, but the dining area is clean, colourful and very comfy. Long table outside with stools would be great on a warm summer's evening. (Oh, and it's BYO). This was a great find in Caboolture South/Morayfield and we hope the locals get behind them and indulge in their fine food. Worth the trip to go up there and try them out! We'll be back.

We made evening reservations and our table was the best one in the restaurant. Our table overlooked the river and we had a gorgeous view of the Story Bridge. Our host and waiter, Ming was super friendly and welcomed us. We started off with miso soup which was nice and warmed us up on a cool winter evening. The miso soup had tofu, seaweed, and spring onions. Then, we had a starter dish of seared salmon and scallops while we wanted for our large platter. The salmon and scallops were incredible. The salmon was fresh and melted in my mouth. I am a big fan of scallops and loved the taste combined with the salmon. I wish we would have ordered a few more plates of the dish... We waited for our large platter that showcased several rolls such as the fresh salmon, tempura fish, and fried crab sticks. The unagi (eel) roll was nice but could have had a little more eel sauce. Then, the tempura prawn roll and spicy salmon with avocado were tasty too. The salmon was not spicy though. I enjoyed the sushi thoroughly and didn't way to stop. No one at the table did. Four of gals who love sushi shared the large platter. It's a good amount if you are not all starving. I recommend this place. I've heard they are super busy for lunch so opting for dinner was a wise choice. We felt comfortable and in no rush to finish our meal. I can't wait to go back and try out more dishes! They have only opened for a few months so I am so lucky I knew from early on so now I can satisfy my sushi craving. Best part of it all, I heard about this place through word of mouth! Hope you have a great experience like me when you go.

First time I stumbled in, the places was filled with Japanese families and couples. The first rule of Asian restaurants applies here... if it is full of Asians, the food will be good.
