Nozomi Japanese - PARKWOOD

I had a fantastic teppanyaki experience at this restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable, reminding me of my travels in Japan. The service was excellent, with everyone being polite and smiling. The staff were authentic Japanese and spoke the language fluently. Despite only knowing basic Japanese phrases, they understood me perfectly and responded in kind. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, the food was delicious, and the teppanyaki chefs were skilled and entertaining. I haven't tried their regular menu yet, but I will definitely be returning next time I'm in Queensland. I recommend making a reservation in advance as the restaurant gets busy.

We are Brisbane locals and we went to the Gold Coast for a quick day trip with the young kid today. We were all craving for Japanese food for dinner so we started searching on Google/Zomato for a nice Japanese restaurant, only found that most Japanese restaurants on the Gold Coast are closed on Sundays. Randomly saw this restaurant on google with 4.5 stars good review, so I rang to make a booking without a second thought. DECOR: when we arrived at the location we saw a traditional Japanese bamboo fencing and a Japanese Garden at the entrance, and the next step into the restaurant we were amazed by the funky Japanese inner-street-style decor. SERVICE: The staff welcomed us warmly and service was excellent throughout the night. Very attentive and also have big smile on everyone’s face. FOOD: we went for À la carte tonight and we have ordered sashimi (SO FRESH! , mixed nigiri sushi platter (SO YUMMY! , deep fried oysters and prawns (omg they were fantastic , chawan mushi (the best ever I have tried amongst Japanese restaurants on the Gold Coast . We also ordered some Japanese desserts (Mochi at the end that gave us the taste of Japan : We all love this place and would definitely come back again and again to try out other dishes on the menu!

Fantastic. Had my sons 21st here and they made it fun and welcoming. Food was delicious

The restaurant offers good, authentic Japanese cuisine in a stunning setting that feels like a trip to Kyoto. I suggest trying the Ginger Pork, assorted sushi platter, and Fried Udon.

Went for lunch with friends and we were all pleasantly surprised at this great find. The lunch menu costing $20 which included a glass of wine was excellent. Friendly efficient service,We eat here nearly every friday lunchtime. Their John Dory with potato, wilted spinach and green beans is a must to try, you will not be disappointed. Awesome lunch menu, glass of good wine and lunch for around 40 dollars.
