Tokyo Chubo
2024 Mar 15
I dropped by Tokyo Chubo for lunch, after it first caught my eye when I visited the neighbouring Sinjeon restaurant.

I decided to try one of my favourite Japanese dishes, Katsu Chicken. I got the bento so that I could also have a sample of the sashimi they have on offer. Miso soup also came as part of the meal. Their batter was very crispy, and the chicken was tender, definitely one of the better Katsu dishes I have had. I also tried some of the smoked Salmon-don, which was also very tasty.

The restaurant layout is simple, and the atmosphere is pleasant enough. The service staff were polite.

For two dishes, I paid $51.70.
I dare say the this place is the best experience I have had at an Izakaya restaurant in the Brisbane/Gold Coast region. This is in terms of the quality of the food, the service, and overall atmosphere of the restaurant.

On this first visit with family, we tried the Wagyu Sukiyaki, the Crispy Salmon Roll, Unagi Don, Buta Kimchi Udon and Karaage Chicken. The highlights from this for me personally were the Wagyu Sukiyaki, Buta Kimchi Udon and the Crispy Salmon Roll.

The total cost ended up being around $40 per person (with a total of 4 people), and I would highly recommend coming with a group so that you can all try lots of different dishes.

Booking is a must, as the restaurant is very busy, and you generally have about 1.5 hours to sit down and enjoy your meal. The food was served in a relatively quick fashion.
