Moody dark space. Too dark in my opinion. As I found it hard too read the menu. Excellent food and a brilliant restaurant manager whom was super knowledgeable on all menu items which is a rare thing these days. The smell of the charred wood interior panels sets a sweet a moody smokiness that fits the restaurant look and feel. Almost bring a flavor to the room before the food is served. Modern take on Japanese food. But sticking to the rules of quality and freshness.

We did a squeeze me in at Honto! Amazing service and really good food! The cocktail recommendation was spot-on. Even though our dining time was short, we never felt rushed by the staff. Each dish arrived with perfect timing. Truly a great experience — highly recommended!

i definitely would not call this “brisbanes best” japanese or asian as many say. maybe the banquets are better value, but as a party of two dining à la carte we found it very very expensive for what you get. the tuna tataki was absolutely divine and the highlight of the night- i literally could drink the sauce it came with! the rest of the food was just okay and nothing else really stood out at all to me. the potato mochi was just okay but a bit flavourless, and i think ive had nicer salmon nigiri for a fraction of the price at takeaway sushi shops. the vegetable sides were very nice thought. the drinks were nice and staff were very knowledgeable on them, but the highball was hard to drink with a massive chunk of ice and large citrus wedge. my glass also had a chip in it. overall i would probably not return and the ambiance was the only thing that made it special in my opinion. it is lovely and intimate but just not enough to make up for the cost and food.

My husband and I are visiting Brisbane and this is always at the top of our list when we come. Service 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Cocktails & Mocktails 10/10 Food 100/10 Everything that came out of the kitchen and bar top was perfection. We decided to go with the banquet menu and upgraded our main to the wagyu strip loin. All praise and no complaints. Thank you to the entire team that made our dinner a spectacular one. We will see you again very soon!

Definitely one of my favourite Japanese restaurants so far! The food is always fresh and tasty. The portions of the tasting menu are quite small but there are enough servings to feel satisfied. I recommend to go to the a la cart menu and pick different dishes to share. Strongly recommend to book as it’s really hard to find a table
