Sagano

I have been coming here for almost 20 years and well my whole life, with my parents coming here longer than that. What can I say but the food is consistently fantastic and authentic. With the lunch bentos being a staple memory of this restaurant for me. Coming here with my dad when I was small and having a karaage bento for lunch, man those were the days. I highly recommend the karaage lunch bento, the cheese spring rolls, which have my brother and I hooked on it as they are just unbelievable good, the pork gyoza, with my brother saying its the favourite hes had, even with us travelling to Japan before and various other countries, ten-zaru soba, just a classic and authentic japanese meal, and the teriyaki chicken, I have had teriyaki chicken at many different establishments, however this is quite unique flavour wise and is this just phenomenal.

Service here is fast, friendly, and generally just great.

The atmosphere is quite nice with the setting being a bit more open. Just a personal must go to japanese restaurant, in Surfers. Can't recommend this place enough, from its food, staff, and atmosphere.

Every time we are on the Gold Coast, we go there for dinner. The food is so well prepared and served, staff so lovely and polite. Highly recommended!

Food was very tasty and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Not badly priced for the area, very enjoyable meal.

We've been eating here since February 2017 and really love it, as a great Japanese restaurant right across the road. The wait staff and chefs are all so friendly and lovely, the food is delicious and the ambience is cosy and inviting.

Excellent genuine Japanese served by friendly Japanese hosts.

Came late on a Saturday, plenty of space, and quiet so we could talk and wind down after a crazy day.

Food was delicious, perfectly lightly seasoned as one would expect of Japanese cuisine. Left quite satisfied!

Almost but not quite. All our favourite Japanese places were booked out in Surfers when we stumbled on this place. We couldn’t figure out if it was open or not but saw a single table of Japanese people there. Pretty generic food but friendly staff made a difference

Great service and we'll priced. Authentic Japanese food (been 10 times in the past decade) and they had great lunch sets. They also have Suntory on tap (rare in Australia but common on Japan).

Sashimi was very fresh and cut well. I loved my ten don (tempura rice bowl) - the flavours worked well and the tempura is crunchy and not at all oily, it still retains its original flavours. The cold Udon was springy and the dipping sauce as good as any in Japan.
