Traditional Japanese food expertly cooked and served in a quiet and cozy environment. We enjoyed the omakase menu where the chef choses what to present you based on your preferences. Every dish was unique and delicious. The pacing of the many courses allowed us to enjoy each one without rushing. I can't wait to find another reason to celebrate at this amazing restaurant.

We booked here for 4 people on a Thursday night. We ordered the Sai Course $169 per person without sake pairing. I thought the place was casual and intimate, the service was great and food came out promptly. The food was very fresh and tasted great with mix of style of Japanese food. Some of us finish the course not fully satisfied and could do a few more dishes. Overall was great but wasn't amazing, but has the potential.

I came into Shunsai for an omakase (chef's choice) experience, and left a comment with my reservation that I enjoyed raw fish and traditional Japanese flavors. I was so incredibly impressed with my experience! First, the chef definitely read my note, because his selection was fresh, authentic, and reminded me of my time in Japan. He also paired my meal with several unique sakes upon request, and he explained the best way to enjoy each course. The sashimi and nigiri courses were so beautifully fresh, easily some of the best raw fish I've had in Brisbane. I had my first taste of raw bay bug - creamy, plump, well textured, no fishiness, a bold but worthwhile try for sushi lovers. Not to mention the atmosphere was cozy and simplistic, and sitting at the bar allowed for a more intimate interaction with the chef than most places. All and all I would definitely recommend this spot for an adventurous eater, a memorable date night, or any Japan lovers wanting a real taste of the country. Will definitely be coming back for a future special occasion!

My wife and I had the pleasure of celebrating our 5 year anniversary here tonight and it did not disappoint! With the inclusion of our newborn, they made us feel welcomed and accommodated for our needs, even made space for us to fit our pram next to us. We chose the omakase option for dinner, and we’re glad we did! The food was phenomenal, especially the sashimi - which was imported all the way from Japan. The chef brought us back to Japan with his menu tonight. Not only did he make it feel like a personal menu but he was a joy to talk to, even changed the temperature of the restaurant to accomodate for our baby. He made our night very special - thank you! A night we will never forget.
