Harajuku Gyoza South Bank - Brisbane

Love this place. Always fun. Always yum. And yep we always leave with bellies like sumo.<br/ <br/ ‘Are you ready???’ The cheeky eye glint hints at the kooky bedlam that’s also served with the generous sake pours. So firstly make sure to order a sake (or 2 or 3). The house stuff is surprisingly good.<br/ <br/ We’ve tried tested most the menu highly recommend:<br/ Duck gyoza poached with spicy vinegar blitzes plain duck hands down<br/ Tempura eggplant smooth, light innards with a crispy finish<br/ Lemongrass chicken gyoza poached with ponzu so much flavour<br/ Open pork belly on crispy gyoza skins<br/ Tokoyaki gyoza is the new balls<br/ Agedashi tofu broth good to the last drop<br/ Koshihikari rice beer<br/ For groups go the banquets<br/ <br/ Two things I’d actively avoid are:<br/ the mega sweet cocktails I’m looking at you watermelon sour lychee martini<br/ the bland raindrop cake. Matcha was its saving grace but the kinako (soybean sugar powder) wasn’t to our taste. <br/ <br/ Popular for good reason. Kanpai!

Harajuku Gyoza (south bank) was great restaurant with a vibrant feeling. The restaurant is really colourful and well maintained with a fabulous Team!!<br/ They prepare their food nice and fresh everyday which is an amazing thing as most of the Gyoza restaurants are not following that!<br/ <br/ Cheeseburger Gyoza (crispy fried) Gyoza was well cooked and it was crispy with great flavours inside. 5/5<br/ <br/ Pork Prawn Gyoza (Poached) Perfectly cooked with nice texture and sprinkles of spring onions on top Cooked for perfection. 5/5<br/ <br/ Lemongrass Chicken Gyoza (Poached) Lemongrass Chicken was flavourful with a small touch of sour to it which made the Gyoza Delicious. 5/5<br/ <br/ Chicken Karage The pieces of chicken were nice and tendered. Usually Karage chicken would be more crispier outside, but this one was not as much. Crispy. 4/5<br/ <br/ Tempura Eggplant The eggplant was amazing inside as it was super soft and great to eat. But the Outer part (dough) was Rick hard and it makes the dish really hard to eat. 2/5<br/ <br/ Chicken Wings (pepper Soy) The Chicken was perfectly cooked and it was super delicious. Filled with flavours and once you start eating, you wouldn’t want to stop!! 5/5<br/ <br/ I would definitely recommend this restaurant for everyone as the Team were great and they menu is perfect with great prices!!

The food is delicious and service is friendly. Decor is funky and cool. The restaurant is pretty busy and loud. This is a good place to eat.

Had so much fun here! Came in feeling a little tired but left so full of energy and laughing. The enthusiasm from staff was infectious, when anyone ordered Sake the servers and customers cheered the roof off the place, overwhelming at first but hilarious and fun after you get used to it. The food was amazing, would specifically come back from the Sunshine Coast again just to have dinner here again

A few delicious vegan options plus jugs of cocktails and the bubbliest, most efficient staff I've ever encountered. A great fun place to go with a group for dinner.
