Daiki Japanese Restaurant

Authentic Japanese food, that has been open for 15 years, excellent authentic food, service and atmosphere, the Katsudon is particularly delicious

5stars for everything!
Food are so good, the quality is on point. I ordered fried oyster(kaki), beef tataki, tofu agedashi, crab tempura, cold soba, and grilled salmon teriyaki. Every dish are made out of delicacy, I went there for dinner, wasn’t planning on coming back, but at the end I still came back for lunch before I leave Gold Coast. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Definitly recommend.
Also, please be patient as I think it runs with very few people 2-3people as I can see. So, I assume it is a family run business with a high quality control of the food.

We enjoyed a beautiful meal here tonight with our 3 pre/teen children. The quality of the food was amazing - after eating out at quite a few local restaurants on the Gold coast, Daiki restored our faith that it was still possible to get a good, healthy meal as a family without breaking the bank.

We each ordered different dishes. Everything was excellent & delicious - clearly made with high quality ingredients, and lovely attention to detail. For example, we were completely charmed at being offered a selection of pottery cups to choose from for our hot sake.

Service was wonderful, and our food was served very quickly. Thank you so much for a beautiful meal. We feel nourished.

PS We also ended up ordering dessert - we highly recommend the custard pudding (like a creme brulee) and the mango sorbet.

Place was very authentic Japanese restaurant and it seems like they have more menu on dinner, while the lunch menu that I uploaded it was quite okay, grilled chicken miso was a bit small to its price , similar with katsudon, but again taste like how you’d expect in Japanese restaurant.

Was browsing through via google reviews but it turns out many of their good cuisines served at dinner. May come back for it

Lovely local restaurant. Very cosy and delicious food. One of the best bowls of udon I’ve had in a long time!
They managed to squeeze us in without a reservation and despite letting us know that service may be slow, food still came out quite fast.

A small authentic Japanese restaurant that runs by only 3 staff but with great customer service and very efficient. We didn’t have to wait too long for our food to be served. The food is excellent and the staff is very polite. It’s by far the yummiest Udon noodle we had in Gold Coast. Both my kids loves udon noodles so they know their stuff. The beef is very tender, the chicken is moist but you still can get the crispy skin and the tempura is light and crispy. The Agedashi tofu and the sauce goes very well together. We will definitely come back here if we visit Gold Coast again.

Beautiful, homely dishes cooked with love. There are only three people it seemed that runs the whole place, but they did it so quickly, competently and with great customer service.

The food is so delish - the sashimi are nice enough but what is amazing is the duck, the wagyu tataki (special), Japanese chicken curry and chicken kaarage. This place is so under the radar - but I will definitely revisit it next time!
