Izakaya UMAKAMON

Tried this place on a whim and wow the food was excellent. I had the tonkatsu meal set and honestly, the fried pork loin was thick and honestly delicious. Highly recommend and hope to return soon.

I had the tonkatsu for dinner and it was great. The meat was tender and the crumbs crunchy. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Enjoyed their Japanese craft beer also. Service was great too, food came out quick and waitresses were very attentive. I guess the place was a bit small and only had 1 high chair but didn't really impact us much.

I have been living on the Gold Coast for almost three years now, and I have tried almost all the Japanese meals in Surfer's Paradise, but I still believe this restaurant serves the best Japanese cuisine in Surfer's Paradise.

We love Izakaya restaurant and Izakaya UMAKAMON is the one you •MUST• visit when you come to Surfers Paradise.

Love all the dishes we ordered. It’s fresh and delicious. My kids love their Udon 🍜 with prawn tempura. The most important is a pot of hot sake to complete your meal.

Definitely recommended. 👍

Our 1st dining experience at Izskaya Umakamon was spectacular! Food and service were amazing! Definitely a try if you are in Gold Coast.

We had to wait 45 minutes to get the table but we just walked around the area.

Best Japanese restaurant we have been to. The staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive. The restaurant is small, yet intimate and authentic.
The food is sensational. A wide and diverse range of dishes with focus on quality produce and with an eye for creative presentation. Very highly recommended.

Very high quality Japanese restaurant. Impressed by the staffs and chef. We only saw one main chef and two assistants in the kitchen but they managed to serve in a reasonable time. Food quality was excellent.

The wagyu tataki with sea urchin and foie gras was our favourite. The beef was well cooked. Sea urchin was fresh. All three elements combined together to give a interesting but delicious textures.

The deep fried oysters was perfectly fried with crunchy outer layer. The yuzu mayo matched so well with it and can make it less greasy.

Grilled king fish wings was a little bit too salty if you eat without rice. But still nicely grilled, the fish tastes not dry.

The Mentaiko sauce udon was surprisingly good. We expected it could be a bit too creamy or oily but turns out it’s not! The sauce tasted delicious and with the right texture. There is also a onsen egg served with it which you can break it and mix the yolk with the udon to make it even more delicious.

Love the vibe of the restaurant and a big thanks to the chef and staff.
