What a hidden gem in surfers paradise!! On our first night in GC, we accidentally found this place whilst on the way back to the hotel after having dissapointed dinner at another dine-in but we decided to try out the yakitori menus. To our surprise, the food was very delicious, very authentic with a great friendly attentive service from the... More

This little place certainly serves up big value. Very tasty meals. I had the Tempura chicken. The ginger in the sauce really made it special. I had little sides of beautifully cooked veggies as well even though my meal was complete within itself. And it only cost $10.50. The service was quick and polite. This really is a great little...

Small and tucked away, this is just the sort of restaurant 'find' we love. Personal service, great food, excellent value. A wide selection of yakitori (bbq) options including vegetarian. Our fussy 9 year old loved the pork belly yakitori and ordered a second serving. Hubby and I shared a sake, we had four full meals and the bill was a... More

$122.10 for 4 ppl including lots of sake, awesome value!! Fab food, and great atmosphere. Order takoyaki roulette and get psyched up with the James Bond theme music. Good fun, would recommend.

The yakitori range is amazing. Even though the place its Japanese..don't expect to get any sushi! The prices actually start at $1.50 for a small vegetarian japanesse bbq skewer. Drinks are cheap (4.50 for Tooheys extra dry).

After reading a couple of rewiews online, i thought i would try it. Of what could be a good restaurant is tainted by average food and average service. After reading articles in the Australian about how the Gold Coast is comming into a new era of fine dining Samurais Paradise does no justice and is exactly what you expect when... More

Thank you for coming our Yakitori Bar. Yes,I think you thinking is right. Because SAMURAIS PARADISE is not Japanese restaurant. SAMURAIS PARADISE is only one Yakitori Bar in GC. So I think you do not expect for great restaurant, please expect for great Japanese Yakitori Bar. More
