It’s always a stellar meal and excellent dining experience at Izakaya Midori. The food and presentation and the fact that it’s all plant based are the reasons we keep going back. Well done again to the chefs and staff. KUTGW.

Dear Diners, Dining time for each section is 1hr 15mins only. Please be aware that hotplate tables are not able to be booked due to popularity (Only walk-in available). Thank you for your understanding. Feel free to call us 0451 368 389.

That’s not all you’ll find at Kamikaze Teppanyaki Coomera, as there is everything from sashimi and tempura options, through to yakitori and bento boxes in this funky restaurant on Foxwell Road on the Gold Coast. The menu is regularly updated with modern Japanese cuisine and drink selections and you’ll always get the best flavours possible. Being funky and friendly, we are not the usual traditional teppanyaki restaurants. The guests can experience and taste more of what we have in the house. Book a table at Kamikaze Teppanyaki Coomera and experience it!

Food tasted great but over priced! Customer service @ Coomera Westfield Kamikaze was fantastic. Paying the bill at the end is very easy for groups making split payments. You’ll get a good Japanese food experience but be prepared to pay for it!

About the restaurant

Arrived from Rome in 2014, the Mancini family decided to change their lives and embark on a new and exciting adventure in Australia. After several experiences as Chefs in Italy and also in Australia, Valentina and Otello decide in 2019 to return on the market with a singular hospitality concept that had already been successful in Rome since 2010 . Radici Pasta House, in Italian language “Radici” means roots indicating the intention to offer a cuisine deeply rooted in Italian food culture with a modern accent and an extreme attention to the overall experience. Head Chef Marco Minore, who also joined Radici Pasta House in 2019, with his menu has contributed to giving life to this project which, in addition to the particular chef table seats around the bar, represents something unique in Gold Coast and beyond.

About the restaurant

Hospitality Heavyweight Scott Imlach has teamed up with Head Chef Sam Sheehan to bring a modern take on classic Asian street food to the Gold Coast. A staple in the local dining scene since early 2016, the laid back alfresco eatery has proven its timeless flavours to locals and guests alike.

Centrally located on the outskirts of vibrant Broadbeach, with cocktails that delight, and a menu that will take you straight to a side street of Vietnam, it is a must when it comes to Asian dining on the coast.

"Iran is a country with a diverse geography and ethnic population. It sits at the centre of the former Kingdom of Persia, one of the world’s oldest continuous major civilisations. Iran forms a bridge between the Middle East and the Far East in the centre of the ancient Silk Road, a major trading route which goes back tens of thousands of years.

Persian cuisine has influenced many world cuisines, and has absorbed elements from other cuisines as well. It's no surprise that Persian ingredients such as saffron, pomegranate have made their way into other cuisines! As ancient traders took their wares to the corners of the world, they traded goods, bringing back the eating habits and ingredients from Greece, Rome, Turkey, Russia and India. Today's Persian cuisine traces its roots to ancient Persian ingredients and recipes, and is enriched by the great tastes imported from the rest of

Lovely selection of food which caters for all tastes from seafood, cold & hot meats, salads, soup, desserts, kids section etc. Food we ate was amazing and couldn't fault a thing. Loved the large dipping bowl for your grubby fingers and bowl to put seafood shells etc in. Wish all restaurants provided this wee touch.
