Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Ipswich

"Sit up at the sushi bar at this attractive, contemporary Japanese riverside restaurant and watch the talented chefs' precision knife-work. There is plenty of choice, from two or four-piece sushi sets to bar snacks, or more robust, Robata-grilled meats. There's also a comprehensive cocktail and sake list."

"If you’re in the market for contemporary Japanese, Sake will hit the spot. With the freshest sashimi and local seafood on the menu, mixed with delectable cocktails to complement, you’re in for a treat. https://www.instagram.com/p/BS4zqQdDoX8/?"

"Sake Restaurant and Bar is conveniently located in Brisbanes CBD and heralds a new era in Japanese cuisine. Shinichi Maeda x chef of the award winning Wasabi Japanese restaurant in Noosa is at the hel..."

"Very few of the best Japanese restaurants in Brisbane focus so keenly on yakitori, but the two-venue – one in Fortitude Valley, one in the West End – Bird’s Nest fills that void in a big way. The vibrant, slightly obscured venue in FV is the most frequented, but both share the same strong commitment to skewered delicacies prepared to absolute perfection. Vegetarians are well-catered for with the likes of king oyster mushroom and okura yakitori, but the best experience here is had with the likes of bocconcini cheese skewers with tomato and basil wrapped in thinly sliced pork belly, or chicken thighs, wings and meatballs alongside street food favourites like yakisoba and Japanese chicken rice."

"Here’s a Japanese restaurant and bar that seems to be making it onto everyone’s top list. Not surprising, really. There are three Bird’s Nest locations around Brisbane (one doing takeaway only), which means high-quality traditional yakitori is never too far away (phew)."

"Wing it down to Bird’s Nest for authentic Tokyo yakitori; chicken skewers cooked over glowing charcoals. Concentration already skewered?. Just wait ‘til we tell you about their bottomless pirikara fries."

"There's a lot to be said for the role that location plays in enhancing a dining experience, and there's few more demonstrable cases in Brisbane than seafood-oriented Jellyfish Restaurant which sits in an idyllic spot on the Eagle Street Pier overlooking the Brisbane River and its characteristic Story Bridge. It's an outlook that manages to be pleasant regardless of weather, and at night time in particular the glimmering city lights add a sense of inherent romance and charm to the act of dining. This restaurant has been a relatively long-running part of the Brisbane dining scene for some time now, and continues to deliver a consistently high standard of food rather than simply resting on its laurels and reputation - seafood at Jellyfish is renowned for its freshness and brought straight to the table daily, with a large range of fish varieties to choose from."

"Known to serve up to 14 species of fish every day on their menu, they make it a point to suggest different ways of cooking the fish. The well trained staff also goes out of their way to give you options on what will be great as an accompaniment for the fish you choose to eat. If you want to enjoy your food while a cool breeze blows, ask to be seated on their terrace, sipping on a glass of zesty Sepp Moser grüner from their fish-simpatico list as you wait for your dish."

"It's not named Australia's #1 boutique burger brand for no reason!. Milky Lane are open and they're here for you, offering takeaway orders (most preferred for them), delivery orders (on Deliveroo and UberEats for most stores) and you can even buy a gift voucher to support them. Munch on some of their mouth-watering burgers all in the comfort of your own home."

"This New Farm local is the OG of American places in Brisbane. Previously called Blue Smoke, it’s been dishing up authentic BBQ from their wood-fired grill since 2006. This is one of the few places that do ribs like they do in Texas – with plenty of smoky flavour and a sauce that’s not too sweet."

"Look for the skinny, well-worn staircase between a gentlemen's club and a discount chemist. Greenglass's menu is loosely French with a roaming, hand-scrawled chalkboard of daily-changing dishes. The real value happens at lunch, where roasted chicken maryland with carrot pilaf plus a mousse-y, plum-topped sabayon will leave you with change from $30."

"Tucked discreetly away on George Street, Greenglass is a hidden wine bar and restaurant serving up delicately delicious French food and wonderful Australian wines. Not even the website gives any details away, so just trust us on this one and enjoy a little bit of mystery on your next night out!. Upstairs at 336 George Street, Brisbane"

"A hidden gem of Brisbane that many locals don’t seem to know, the QUT Art Museum is located on the edge of the City Botanical Garden and is an intimate university gallery showcasing rotating internally curated exhibitions, commissioned projects and touring exhibitions of modern and contemporary works by Australian artists. Always thought-provoking, entry is typically free and visiting only takes around an hour. If you make it here, you should combine it with a visit to their sister gallery nearby in the stately Old Government House dedicated to the works of Australia’s pre-eminent landscape artist, William Robinson."

"Next door to Old Government House, you'll find some of the city's most adventurous art at the QUT Art Museum. With a focus on Australian artists—mostly from the 1960s onwards—the collection of more than 3,000 pieces explores themes of identity, place, and community. Highlights include works by Grace Cossington Smith, Charles Blackman, Jimmy Pike, and Dadang Christanto."
