Shinbashi Yakiniku - Logan City

Craved for a bbq night so dropped to this local Japanese restaurant for a buffet.Fortunately, we have reserved a table because it was very full last night. For $45.00 AYCE buffet including seafood, I prefer to have it here rather than other Korean eateries because vibe, service and food quality are all above standard.We always love to have their bottomless chicken soup in the table, which enhance the charcoal flavour of the bbq meat.Tell you a small tips, make use of the container wrapped by aluminum foil, pour the chicken soup in and the you can enjoy Shabu Shabu or steam-boat to go with the meat. By this method, you can definitely order more meat for the night Lol! Last visit: Mar 2019 rating 4/5

One of my favourite restaurants. I often take people here when they come visit me up in Brisbane. The food and service are excellent, and I've never needed to make a reservation. You may want to book if you're bringing a party bigger than 4, however.

Love this place.<br/ <br/ One of the best all you can eat BBQs in Brisbane. Shame that it’s only on certain nights though.<br/ <br/ Really can’t fault the place, but I just get PTSD from the one time they served the Takoyaki Balls and I bit down ... and they were still frozen inside . <br/ <br/ Other than that one time... it’s really nice. Good ambience 90 minutes is more than enough. They even have a couple of traditional Japanese shoeless sitting areas you can reserve for special occasions.<br/ <br/ 4/5

This review has been a long time in the making! A few weeks ago @vvvvhangry and I made the trek to Shinbashi Yakiniku in Underwood for their AYCE Japanese BBQ. Upon arrival, we were given a hot thermos of soup (delicious, almost tasted like a Cantonese house soup! and a variety of condiments which we used to DIY our own sauce. Everything else, we ordered from the AYCE menu.<br/ <br/ Starting with the meat... For $45 a head, we knew that we had to eat lots of Wagyu to get our money’s worth. So we ordered multiple servings of the Wagyu Marbled Beef, Wagyu Rib Finger, Wagyu Beef and Premium Ox Tongue. Each piece came out a little frozen, but the taste and flavour was delicious. Dipped in sauce or with a bit of stewed garlic (we’ll get to that later! , the beef sung for itself. We also ordered chicken thighs with the sesame marinade, each piece was really juicy and brimming with flavour. My personal favourite cuts of meat were the Wagyu Marbled Beef and the Ox Tongue.<br/ <br/ We also perused the seafood selection. Upon inquiry, the wait staff informed us that the fish fillet was Basa. We decided that it would be better value for us to order the Butter Japanese Scallops and the squid. The scallops were so juicy and sweet, I could have eaten them all night! The squid was super yummy and tender, the char of the grill added a distinctly smoky flavour. <br/ <br/ We ordered quite a few vegetable dishes to supplement our Wagyu indulgence. The highlights included the corn, garlic and mushrooms! By cooking the corn in its little foil container, the cheese and butter in the dish melts and combines to create some of the best corn I have ever eaten. Roasting the garlic is delicious when paired with meat! It gets all gooey on the inside and is super yum. The mushrooms paired with. The butter is a match made in heaven!<br/ <br/ Now to side dishes, we kept ordering the Takoyaki and the Tofu salad. The takoyaki was quite good, I wouldn’t say it was the best I’d ever had, but it was hot and tasty. However, the salad was amazing! So fresh, crisp and light! The dressing was amazing and had a really nice sesame flavour. I could eat that salad for every meal of the day. We also ordered two Nabeyaki Udons. They were so yummy, but it was difficult to finish them when we had eaten so much already!!<br/ <br/ I would definitely come back to Shinbashi, but would probably arrive earlier and strategically plan my ordering. Now that I know what is good, I feel that I have a clearer game plan for next time. I will admit that I felt a bit overwhelmed by their extensive menu.<br/ <br/ I would say that this is quite an expensive dinner, but we were celebrating a birthday so the occasion and expense was definitely justified. Enjoy everyone and don’t forget to get the scallops

Whilst there has been considerable confusion online about whether Shinbashi Yakiniku at Underwood is newly opened from Melbourne or if it's under new management. I can confirm to readers that through my unrivaled sleuthing skills, it has not changed management and has been open in the same complex along Logan road for over 10 years. What has changed however, is their new marketing team, WeCollective, who organised a marketing launch party last week, which I was privileged enough to go to.
