We had such a wonderful time at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary! The lorikeet feeding was absolutely amazing such a joyful and colourful experience. The free flight bird show was another highlight it was incredible to watch these beautiful birds soar gracefully above the audience and see them up close. We also had the chance to see and take photos with a python, kangaroo and koala up close was both exciting and memorable. The wildlife talks were engaging and informative, and the Aboriginal culture show was beautifully presented and full of meaning. The only downside was the limited vegan food options at the cafés, so it would be great to see a bit more variety in the future. Overall, a fantastic place to visit for all ages educational, fun, and full of opportunities to connect with nature and animals up close!

Great place for a visit when in the area. Beautiful grounds and habitat for the well cared for animals. Lots of work to do with conservation comes from here they deserve a lot of credit. Mini trains to cart you around once you have had enough walking. Cafe food was fairly good. Staff were all friendly and seemed like they really enjoy what they do. Lots of different activities can be arranged if you visit , up close and personal with different animals can be organised. Highly recommend coming here.

Fabulous experience as always here. This was my third time visiting the sanctuary with some of our friends visiting from Europe. With so much to see and do here I suggest newcomers set aside roughly 5 hours to see everything the park has on offer. From visiting the reptile enclosure, to patting the kangaroos and getting up close with the koalas. There's something for everyone here. The day is well planned out on the map with several key shows in the afternoon including the wild bird display, aboriginal performance group & finishing up with lorikeet feeding right before closing time. Right now parking is also free across the road. Highly recommend to everyone ❤️

Tickets were expensive but worth it for the NFP and animals. The animals were well cared for and their enclosures were spacious. Happy to see all animals have access to a no people/viewing area. The free bird show was breathtaking. Only wish there were more trains/directions of said train, more drink refill stations, and clearer signage.

Great place. Loved the wild lizards. The bird show was wonderful. The train was a highlight. Feeding the lorikeets was also a favourite. I have to thank the staff who helped tremendously when my autistic son had a meltdown and put himself in danger. They were exceptional, compassionate and understanding. While we had to leave abruptly because he wasn't coping, we left feeling like it was a wonderful experience and we definitely would come back.

An amazing wildlife sanctuary. Super friendly staff, loved the lorikeets and kangaroos. You’re allowed to feed both and pet the kangaroos! Had an echidna encounter with a very informative staff member, it was awesome. So much to see and do here. Recommend to anyone who’s coming to see the Gold Coast. Buy tickets before and show up 30 minutes early (8:30am) for the lorikeet feeding, make sure to put in a donation for their efforts and all the animals!

Perfect place for families with young kids. Lots of activities including shows, animals, play equipment, even a miniature train Ryde through the park. Id recommend bringing your own food if you want something other than the typical fried food and icecream.

Family day to Dreamworld and White Water World. Lines were ok, not the busiest time of the year to go. Was still warm. More airflow/fans/cooling Required for ride lines. Clean amenities. Good/drink lines were average wait times in busy time slots. We didn’t eat food there only Drinks in refillable cups. White Water World is great for a Cool off after a busy day on the rides and walking around.

Dreamworld is a solid theme park with a good mix of rides and attractions. Nothing particularly mind-blowing, but definitely an enjoyable day out. The major rides are fun and well-run, and there’s enough variety to keep everyone entertained. Staff were friendly and the park was clean and easy to navigate. Overall, a good experience and worth visiting, especially if you’re looking for a relaxed theme park day with a few standout rides.

Amazing experience. We hired a mobility scooter for my mum to get around and it was the best because she could go on some rides that had disability access and still use the train. So much for the children to do. And so much variety. My daughter also did her first big roller coaster. It was the steel taipan, The attendant was amazing and let us go in the front and was extreamly reassuring when she was nervous. So an amazing first experience.

Just wow, What a wonderful experience. 🙏🏻❤️ My partner and I had such a blast. We are travellers from Victoria so not a big venture but one of all the same, I’ve been dreaming of coming here since I was a kid and the dream finally came true. A beautiful dream it was and a beautiful time we had! Through out the whole day we ventured through almost everything! We will be back!!! Given the fact that we messed around a lot it was still jam packed with so much. From the steel taipan roller coaster which was completely jaw dropping and left us shaking, to the wild life area where we tip toed around the massive crocodiles and beautiful birds. It’s funny as we walked around I was tranced on the fact that I could imagine how much I would have loved it there when I was younger. There’s a variety of different activities for all different ages and everything is so welcoming. I’ll be sure to bring little ones along with us next time to share this experience. The foods quick and easy, the price of goods is fair with the way the economy is today as well. As for wait times, there weren’t really any? But, when there was I can’t complain about it as it paid off and was well worth waiting. Thank you dream world 🙏🏻❤️we loved every second of being here!

It's been several years since my last visit, no issues with rides being under maintenance, however, we just seemed to get bored quickly and didn't spend the full day. Still good for little kids. I just remember there being more to do in the past for teens/adults and maybe that's why the queues were long, even in off peak. Glad we got heavily discounted tix. New restaurant was good. Despite all this, was a less frustrating experience than Movieworld (where almost everything was experiencing technical issues at least once or twice through the day).

I feel so lucky that I jumped on the amazing Locals annual pass deal! My daughter and I love all the offerings at Dreamworld. After spending 2 season passes at Village, everything is so refreshing at Dreamworld, and it's all conveniently in (essentially) one park!

I visited Dreamworld today for my birthday and it couldn’t have been a better way to celebrate! I went on the Giant Drop, Steel Taipan, Jungle Rush and Serpent Slayer every ride was amazing. The staff were fantastic and made the whole experience feel really fun, welcoming and safe. Such an incredible birthday outing with awesome rides and great vibes all day.

Our recent family excursion to Sky Point provided an exceptional experience. The panoramic vistas from the 77th floor were truly awe-inspiring, and we were pleased to discover that the coffee and food prices were surprisingly reasonable. Contrary to our initial expectations, the cost was comparable to that of a standard restaurant, which was a pleasant surprise. The breathtaking scenery, coupled with the rapid elevator service, contributed to a memorable and gratifying experience. We anticipate revisiting Sky Point on our next trip.

SkyPoint was absolutely worth visiting! The 360° views of the coastline, city, and hinterland are stunning — especially around sunset. It’s such a great spot to take photos and really appreciate how beautiful the Gold Coast is. There’s also a nice café and bar at the top, which makes it easy to relax and enjoy the view a bit longer. The staff were friendly, and the elevator ride up was super fast. Highly recommend adding this to your Gold Coast itinerary!

SkyPoint is a must-visit attraction, Especially if you’re chasing those magical sunset views over the Gold Coast. The timing of your visit makes a big difference, as the crowds tend to build up in the late afternoon leading into sunset. When we arrived at around 4:30pm on a weekday, it was already quite busy, with plenty of visitors waiting for the sun to dip below the horizon and capture that perfect photo. 📷 One thing worth noting is that seating can be a bit of a challenge. The seats near the windows are in high demand, as everyone wants the best vantage point for both the views and the experience. It works on a first come, first served basis, so if you want a prime spot, it’s best to arrive earlier than you think you need to. Many people settle in with drinks and snacks and simply enjoy the atmosphere while waiting for the main event — the sunset. 🌇 Despite the crowds, the overall vibe was enjoyable. The bar staff were reliable, friendly, and handled the rush smoothly, which made the experience more relaxed. We also tried the SkyPoint signature cocktail, which is highly recommended if you’re visiting. 🍹 The combination of stunning views, refreshing drinks, and a lively yet comfortable setting made our visit memorable

We visited SkyPoint and went up to the 77th floor — the view of the Gold Coast was absolutely beautiful! It was an interesting and enjoyable experience. There’s also a restaurant and bar where you can have drinks while enjoying the view. Overall, a great experience.

Our experience at the SkyPoint Observation Deck was truly wonderful, even though our visit took an unexpected turn. Just five minutes into our meal, we faced a sudden family emergency that left us distressed and unsure of what to do. Nicole was absolutely incredible. Her calm, caring, and attentive support made all the difference during a very frightening moment. She went above and beyond to help us, ensuring we had everything we needed and offering comfort when we needed it most. Despite the circumstances, we are deeply grateful for the kindness shown to us. The service, the atmosphere, and especially Nicole’s compassion made a difficult situation a little easier to navigate. Thank you so much, Nicole, and thank you SkyPoint for having such wonderful staff. We truly appreciate it. 🙏💛

We were time bound and this is the best way to see the whole coast line. Great way to spend some time and they have a very large cafe with lots of options to sit and enjoy your time. Also parking is free which is a bonus. Loved it 🥂

A must do if you’re visiting the Gold Coast. Beautiful city views. Great place for a drink and bite to eat with a view of all sides of Gold Coast

It’s Movie World, what more can I say. Well… for those wishing to read on… it’s a brilliant place. To get my only major ‘knock’ out of the way, it’s the lines. They’re a pain in the …., especially when you have young kids waiting. But hey, it’s Movie World. Several rides were closed which was a shame so helpful tip - download the App before attending and it’ll tell you which rides are offline and what each rides wait time is. Very handy. We took our own food to save some $$$ however from what we saw it was reasonably priced. Sincehaving attending in previous years, the overall place does seem to have lost a little of its vibe. Not as many people / characters dressed up, some shops and displays closed, and the usually fantastic street parade was a little lacklustre compared to other times we’ve seen it. With that all said, overall, awesome day out!

We had a fantastic day at Movie World! The rides were exciting and so much fun absolutely loved DC roller coaster 🎢 . The Hollywood Stunt Driver show was an absolute highlight, full of energy and impressive action. The character parade added a nice touch to the experience too. The only downside was the limited vegan and vegetarian food options, which made it a bit hard to find suitable meals during the day. Hopefully, they’ll add more variety in the future. Overall, it’s a great day out filled with fun rides, shows, and entertainment!

Had a great time there. Apparently trips are shorter if to Movieworld if you live in Surfer Paradise. Didnt have to wait at all or have parking issue because we were there in November 1 week before schoolies (22nd). The staffs there are amazing - always putting a smile on their faces for the kids and tourist. Great Job!.

Must visit if you are in Gold Coast. There are rides for every age. Driving school is my kids favourite. We were there during non-school holidays. Even that, the waiting times for the popular rides were averagely around 30mins. Can't imagine how it would be during the school holidays. Maybe it's worth getting the fast track pass at $121 to speed things up. But be aware, you can only use it ONCE per ride. At least you get to decide which ride you wanna spend time queueing up again for a second round. I don't think you can possibly finish trying all the rides in a day without the fast pass. It can get really sunny during the queueing up. If you don't wanna get sunburn or tanned, prepare some UV protection - UV parka etc. Wild West Falls Adventure Ride should be improved to have shelves for riders to keep their bulky belonging prior to the ride. We were required to carry everything along. I was so worried that my belongings would fly out from my handbag! The most thrilling ride is the DC Rivals. Seriously the best rollercoaster ride I've ever had! Green lantern is awesome too. We had a blast! Thanks for the fun!

Great place to visit for the day, lots of cool wee shops and store fronts. Plenty of Easter eggs with different movies and comics. The rides were awesome, DC Rivals was a fav (biggest roller coaster in the southern hemisphere!). The new Wizard of Oz wicked witch ride and Wild West ride was also pretty cool. Heaps to do there, just be prepared for wait times, constantly check the app to see wait times. Get in early for your favourite rides.

Fantastic day out. Facilities and assistance for people with disabilities is excellent. Make sure to go to guest services for all the information. The parade was a bit disappointing. Needs more glitz, glamor and more excitement. It was very short. Overall, our family had a wonderful time.

I went here yesterday with my daughter and her partner. We had a really good time on the rides we went on. It was a bit unfortunate to have some rides not working. Because with less rides means more people on the others, so longer waiting in lines to get on. The food and drinks were excellent, a lot to choose from. The street parade was nice at the end. I thoroughly recommend going here, you won't be disappointed.

I’ve lived on Springbrook Mountain for over four years, and I can honestly say there’s nowhere else like it. Every day feels like a postcard — misty mornings, fresh air, waterfalls, ancient trees, and views that stretch all the way to the coast. It’s peaceful, quiet, and deeply connected to nature. You don’t just visit Springbrook — it slows you down, grounds you, and makes you appreciate the small things. Whether it’s the roar of Purling Brook Falls after rain, the stillness of the forest trails, or the golden light at Best of All Lookout, it’s pure magic. As a local, I still find new pockets of beauty all the time. If you’re visiting, take your time. Respect the land, the wildlife, and the locals who help preserve it. This mountain is a treasure.

Springbrook National Park is absolutely breathtaking — one of the most beautiful rainforest areas I’ve visited in Queensland. The views from the lookouts are incredible, especially on a clear day when you can see all the way to the coast. The Natural Bridge is a must-see, and the walks around Twin Falls and Purling Brook Falls are stunning, with waterfalls, ferns, and ancient trees everywhere. The cool mountain air and peaceful atmosphere make it the perfect escape from the city. Highly recommend taking your time here — every track is worth exploring.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience and a truly wonderful time. The drive to this place is a bit adventurous, but it's well worth the effort. There are numerous scenic lookout points along the way, each offering breathtaking views. The trek to Twin Falls is an absolute must—an unforgettable highlight of the trip!

Really cool spot to get out in nature and do some hiking. Recommend if you’re looking to get some beautiful scenery, be immersed in nature & see some Aussie wildlife!

Springbrook National Park packs an astonishing mix of rainforest, waterfalls, and ancient geology into a compact stretch of the Gondwana highlands. The drive up is an experience in itself, climbing narrow switchbacks that swap coastal suburbs for clouds of mist and towering Antarctic beech trees. Stop at the first lookout and the Gold Coast skyline sits like a glittering bookmark far below, framed by rolling green hills. Walking tracks branch out in every direction, each with its own reward. Twin Falls Circuit threads behind two curtains of water, giving you that cinematic moment when sunlight slants through the spray. The Best of All Lookout lives up to its name with a sweeping vista all the way to Byron Bay on a clear day, and interpretive signs point out volcanic craters now softened by forest. For something shorter, the trail to the Natural Bridge leads into a cool cave where glow-worms light the ceiling after dusk and a creek dives through a neat hole in the rock. Facilities are simple but sufficient. Car parks at major trailheads have clean toilets, picnic tables, and clear maps that outline distances and difficulty grades. Mobile reception fades quickly off the ridge so downloading an offline map helps, and the plateau’s weather changes without warning, making a rain jacket smart even in midsummer. Food options are limited once you leave the highway; packing lunch lets you linger wherever you find the best bird calls. Whether you are after a family-friendly boardwalk, a half-day waterfall circuit, or just a chance to stand above the clouds for a moment, Springbrook delivers scenery that feels both primeval and unexpectedly close to the coast.

Great 2 hours trecking inside the National Park and two hours back to start point car park. There is a small look out track which you can finish in an hour if you want to finish quick.

Beautiful views. Very nice loop trail of 25km (4hrs) but whatch out for leeches

Beautiful, aesthetic restaurant with amazing views! The food was good but did not wow us.. staff were very polite & were quick to assist us with anything we needed! Definitely will be back again in the future! Thanks for having us :))

We were lucky to enjoy one of the most exclusive tables with a direct view of the beach and ocean 🌊 a breathtaking setting that made the experience truly special. The atmosphere was relaxed, the staff friendly and attentive, and their wine recommendations were perfectly on point. We came for lunch with friends and chose the set menu, which was beautifully balanced and exceeded our expectations. Altogether, Rick Shores combines stunning views with excellent food and service …a place well worth visiting if you can secure a table.

Rick Shores is an amazing restaurant that really has it all. The food is delicious, the staff are so friendly and the view is astonishing. We were fortunate enough to have a beach front view that felt like you were looking at a postcard! Our waitress Elizabeth was a breath of fresh air that added so much to our experience. She was very personable, had a great knowledgeable of the menu and made excellent recommendations about the food and activities in the area as well. You are lucky to have her. The food was amazing and we loved the flavours and the creativity. The salmon spring rolls were an unexpected highlight, with the avocado cream pairing just delightful. The super light housemade roti is an absolute must to soak up the sauce from one of their delicious curries. We had the coconut prawn curry and it was divine. The signature Moreton Bay bug rolls are delicious as they look, and the Phoenix Wagyu in the truffle honey sauce is a must try. A beautiful location with amazing food and staff. Well done Rick Shores, thank you for a wonderful experience that we won't forget.

Such a great lunch spot!! The vibe and atmosphere is definitely worth the hype. The food was great as well. The bug rolls are delish but it was actually the burrata I was OBSESSED with. Great stuff guys!

I have lived on the Gold Coast for a while now and have heard many good things about Rick Shores. We arrived without a booking, not realising the place is usually booked well in advance. The view alone is breathtaking, a perfect spring day in Queensland, right on the water. Even though they were full, the team kindly managed to arrange a small table for us. I started with a beautiful Japanese style lager which set the tone perfectly. Then came the crispy battered oyster with ginger caramel and lumaboshi jellyfish, absolutely phenomenal in texture and flavour, easily one of the best oyster experiences I have had. Lunch was the famous Moreton Bay Bug Roll with mayonnaise, sriracha, gem lettuce and a soft brioche bun. They call it a snack, but it is a moment. The balance of flavours is unreal, and now I understand why this dish has such a reputation. The atmosphere, the view, the food, everything was on another level. The service was exceptional. The wait staff were super friendly and even though it was clearly a busy day, they still took the time to chat briefly, explain the dishes and guide us through our choices with genuine passion. This is one of those rare times where five stars just does not feel like enough. If you are visiting the Gold Coast, or like me have lived here for years and somehow have not tried it yet, do yourself a favour. If you appreciate good food and memorable experiences, Rick Shores is an absolute must. Well done to the entire team. You truly have something special here.

Everything about this place is why it's so hard to get a booking. Amazing views, good food and friendly staff. We had the $90 set menu for lunch and enjoyed each dish although could have skipped the last main of beef curry as was a bit dry. Other than that the drinks and day was perfect.

A birthday treat, thank you April. Staff attentive and friendly. Food delicious, my first Moreton Bay Bug - yum! Atmosphere and ambience next level. The waves, the windows, the view. And round tables, I love round tables 🩷

Had an amazing anniversary dinner and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The vibe is relaxed but classy, the service was spot-on, and the food—wow. Their Brussels sprouts are next-level (seriously, don’t skip them), and every appetizer we tried was packed with flavor. My wife and I left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend for a special night out or just a great meal in Broadbeach.

We were warmly welcomed by an enthusiastic and exceptionally friendly staff and were given a lovely table. The menu is appealing and pleasantly concise. We selected a few delicious dishes and paired them with a beautiful Australian wine, which was professionally opened and served. The restaurant has a trendy, vibrant atmosphere with warm and cozy lighting that made the evening even more enjoyable. Overall, we truly enjoyed our time there. Looking back a few days later, it’s the outstanding service that stands out more than the food itself. Still, we would definitely recommend this restaurant for the overall experience.

Absolutely outstanding! The service was nothing short of exceptional attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring from start to finish. Every detail was handled perfectly, making the experience feel truly special. The food was simply amazing, beautifully presented, full of flavor, and prepared with great skill and creativity. It’s rare to find a place where both the cuisine and the service reach such a high standard. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates top-quality dining and a warm, welcoming atmosphere!

The whole experience was great! Yousef was incredibly accommodating and made our visit truly unforgettable. We loved the food and everything in between. We’ll definitely be coming back. This guy deserves a promotion! 🙌🏻🤍

Savoury donut and Korean wagyu were a beautiful start. Wagyu steak was cooked to perfection, bbq octopus w/ the sausage was a combination I was pleasantly surprised with, and the maple brussel sprouts was one of the best I’ve ever had. Mark was our server and was so attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. Cant fault the beautiful ambience and overall great service. Will be back soon!

Highly recommend the garlic prawns & Wagyu steak (market price, options may vary). Waiters were friendly & gave excellent recommendations on dishes and serving size. For a group of 2, we ordered 1 small, 1 main and 3 sides (potatoes, broccolini, half baguette) which was a little too much as servings are generous, but all delicious.

Great food and friendly attentive service (despite how busy they got today). Highly recommend trying this place for some delicious and shareable plates

We had the shared menu for two. The sashimi and nigiri were fresh and good quality. Everything else was delicious except for the greasy dessert which consisted of 4 deep fried balls filled with overly sweet fillings plus a scoop of ordinary ice cream). Attentive service and cozy setting. Overall a good experience.

An incredible dining experience at Kiyomi! From start to finish, every dish was a work of art — beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. The scallops were delicate and perfectly balanced with their sauce, the sushi was unbelievably fresh and tender, and the grilled corn had just the right touch of smokiness and a bright hint of lime that made it unforgettable. Dessert was a standout — light, warm doughnuts dusted with sugar alongside a silky vanilla bean ice cream — the perfect sweet finish. Paired with a perfectly made cocktail, the whole evening was a treat for all the senses. The atmosphere is sophisticated but relaxed, and the service was exceptional — attentive without being intrusive. You can tell the team takes real pride in what they do. Kiyomi is a must-visit for anyone who loves fine Japanese dining with flair. I’ll definitely be back!

Well, 5 stars hotel and Japanese fine dining and for us special occasions and spend more money than casual restaurants that they usually get more expectations of quaility of food and service. However, pp $99 was nothing special flavour of food. Wagyu was tough and chewy and the sushi chef's selection was just sushi rolls we can get it from T/A good sushi shop qaulity tbh. Service was being so slow even waited for sushi rolls for main around 20 min in the middle of course that I had to asked for three times different waiter and manager. And then we waited another 20 min for the dessert which I requested for a birthday and it was not really special. In the meantime, I tried to look at up to eye contacts with other staff but it was really hard as most of them avoided. I asked for a bill (tax invoice) for a car park and also waited longer than I expected. If this restaurant is casual Japanese cuisine then I would understand totally. 5 stars casino hotel and this quality of service and food and the mind set & attitude of work staff were disappointed at me and partner as she's actually a Japanse. Shameful.

Came here for a special 30th birthday and a nice touch with card on the table. Every staff member wished him a happy birthday. Drinks amazing taste and fancy, and when I am still thinking about the experience of tasting great food five days later, I know I'll be back and telling everyone about it. The wagyu skewers were the highlight, as was the corn. Wish I could replicate it. Staff were super friendly and very efficient, always being aware of where we were at with finishing before the next meal come out. Good timing. Can't wait to save up and go back. Comfy seating, toilets nearby, quiet and dark ambience, which we like.

My partner I dined here for our one year anniversary and everything was amazing! The food was so delicious and fresh and the service we received from Salma was amazing. We loved the Waygu skewers and the Tuna crispy rice especially! Thank you to the Kiyomi team for a wonderful night ❤️

The experience was 10/10. The food is fresh and tasty. We had ceviche, nigiri, sushi rools and tempura. Salma, the waitress, recommended donatsu for dessert - it was amazing. The service Salma gave us was outstanding. She is attentive and kind. It was my birthday and she sang the Venezuelan birthday to us, we loved it. Thanks Salma!!!❤️😊

If I could, I would give this place 10/5. Second time visiting. Tonight every single thing we ordered was outstanding. Thank you for such an amazing dinner, best one we had in Broadbeach so far. Well worth the money and can’t wait to come back.

Had such a great experience at Jimmy Wah’s in Burleigh! The yellow barramundi curry with rice was absolutely delicious and a must try– so rich and full of flavour. The betel leaves were a standout and definitely a must-try as well. We also had the ocean tartare and chicken wings, both were really tasty. The atmosphere was great and the staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back!

We were fortunate enough to be treated to dinner at Jimmy Wah's by a friend. We opted for the "feed me menu" and wow, were we well fed! All 7 courses were beautifully presented and tasted like a carnival of flavours. Complementing the delicious food were the warm and friendly staff who were not only good at their jobs but made us feel welcome and comfortable. Thank you Jimmy Wah's for giving us an experience that we'll cherish for all the right reasons!

What a fabulous ‘feed me’ lunch experience we had! Absolutely mouth watering food, great atmosphere - everyone sang happy birthday to me, and awesome service. We will definitely make a trip back there in the near future. Thanks for a really memorable experience Jack and Diane xxx

The food at this place is out of this world. Contemporary Vietnamese with a hint of Aussie fusion built into preparation. Must try their delicious cocktails, oyster tempura (to Die for), and betel leaf with barramundi. Never had Vietnamese food this good. A must go when in Gold Coast.

Incredible food. Having travelled around the world many times I’ve noticed that the service in Australia can be below average but the service we received from Jimmy Wah’s was close to impeccable. Thank you for a great dining experience

Great place for lunch after a morning hike at Burleigh National Park. Super friendly staff and great vibes! Drinks are also on point, lots of options. We had the Feed me lunch menu - food was good some is a bit too sour for my liking, the vinegar covered the main ingredient’s taste. Overall still a pretty solid meal!

Absolutely fantastic, couldn't fault anything. All of the staff great and easy to talk too. We also had grilled pork and kingfish sashimi(which was incredible)but I had a bite and completely forgot to take photos.

10 out of 10. The food was delicious, it came out quickly, tasted amazing and offered so many flavours. A special shout our to Sam our waitress, she was attentive, lovely and was a joy to have at our table. They catered for my onion allergy and made my birthday special. Thank you 😊 🙏 💓

My experience was immaculately amazing, a date night that wasn’t expected, i don’t think some of the photos and reviews can do the justice for this place We had a bit of everything other than from the grill, started with edamame and slow cooked Wagyu and slight touch of truffle, then moved on with sashimi of 3 types fish and prawn sushis, ended our main meal with truffle wagyu gyoza and two skewers of pork belly. After all that I couldn’t go home without their Tira-miso A great experience that i’d count down days to come back to GC and try this place again

After hearing about this place for years… I finally got to try Etsu! As a Japanese person I’m naturally picky when it comes to Japanese food…. But omg the food was AMAZING! But their service was just as impressive! Very informative with how many dishes to order(and it was spot on). Mocktails were delicious and not overpriced like some other places. (I mean, there isn’t any alcohol in it!) We had Aburi Salmon and king mushroom maki, fried chicken and okonomiyaki. We couldn’t decide which was our favourite because they were ALL delicious! The timing of food arriving was almost suspiciously perfect. We felt welcomed, attended and cared for. As I’ve been told by others, it may not be suitable for a group gathering as the music is on loud side, but perfect for an intimate dinner for two. We’ll definitely be back! One constructive feedback, Tiramiso was devious but I personally would loved it more if sponge and cream ratio was 1:1 as the cream was very rich.

We just experienced the best Japanese food we have ever tasted. There were absolutely no complaints. The food, atmosphere and most importantly, the service were impeccable. Amazing cocktails and mocktails that you can tell were very well thought out. We chose the set menu with the wagyu beef and raw fish that absolutely melted in our mouth. What a way to spend our last night in the Gold Coast, we will definitely be back! Worth every penny

I went Etsu for my anniversary, I choose just based on reviews, because I have never been here before. It was a great choice, the food was superb, I don't thing there is a best way to describe it. The place was quite full, so definitely book in advance, it was a bit loud, but it was ok. Service was also great. Worth to try, even if you don't live nearby (my case). Will be back!

Etsu is a slick "Japanese" inspired bar. I wouldn't expect any authentic Japanese flavours here, but most of the dishes we did get were fairly good, although generally the flavours are quite strong. Scallop rice crackers were a great starter. Sushi rolls were quite tasty as well, as was the lobster bao. We also ordered Yakitori and Pork Belly skewers, both were okay but the chicken on the drier side. I was not impressed by the toothfish, it was way too rubbery, I'm not sure how it was cooked like this. I was impressed though by the very good highball served, a traditional one with a single large block of ice. Overall the meal was delicious but definitely room for improvement and all dishes were very heavy, though paired great with drinks. Service was great and the ambience of the venue is quite cool.

An absolutely incredible experience! From start to finish, Etsu completely exceeded expectations. The food was next level, every dish was bursting with layered, complex flavours that somehow felt both refined and comforting. You can taste the freshness and precision in every bite, the kind of food that makes you pause mid conversation just to savour it. The service matched the food perfectly, attentive without being intrusive, with staff who clearly care about what they do. Every recommendation was spot on. The atmosphere is moody, intimate and full of energy the kind of place that instantly feels special. An unforgettable dining experience, Etsu is easily one of the best restaurants in the Gold Coast.
